    We spent one night here in June 2019. It was amazing. We stayed in the Pevensey room. It was one…read moreof only two rooms that has access to a private spiral staircase, another room where the gate lifts up (port cullis) and partial access to a roof to overlook the grounds. Our room was very nice with an extra large bath tub, which was ve nice after traveling overnight from the U.S. the grounds had a lot of neat things to look at, and of course there was Bob the peacock and his friends. We also had dinner which was so delicious. The staff was so nice and attentive from the moment we got there until we left the following morning. I wish we could have stayed two nights, as we missed the golf course and I believe it was a croquet field but I'm not positive. I would definitely recommend this place and I would stay here again if I was ever in the area! Thanks again for such a memorable stay, and my apologies for taking so long to review your beautiful place!

    Our stay here was a gift from my partner's work team. We had no idea it would be as magical as it…read moreturned out to be! This is like a step back in time but with all the comforts of modern day luxury. We stayed one night in a deluxe suite which was HUGE, and had the best ensuite bathroom I have ever seen. Not even the Cafe Royal in London comes close. That night we had drinks in the garden courtyard, followed by the most exquisite meal we have ever had. We LOVE our food - but this was a gastronomical experience we will never forget. It is a degustation - you will feel like you have to be rolled out of there. The portions are small but there are more than 10 courses, each one getting progressively better and more beautiful. It's expensive - save it for a special occasion. The chef is a master. Also if you get a chance, the little tea room in the village is PERFECTION. We had afternoon tea there with scones, home made strawberry jam and clotted cream. Go for a walk to wear the food coma off. The grounds are like something out of a picture book. There's a terrace on the outside of the wall for sunset viewing. If I could afford it, I would get married here. At least dreams are free.

    Cheap and cheerful hotel in the outskirts of Brighton. As part of the national Travelodge chain,…read moreyou know what you're getting - no frills but the rooms are very clean. We ordered a family room and it was HUGE! Ask for a room near the top - the views (of the park) are spectacular. The hotel is not in the city centre - but it's only a half hour walk, or there's a bus stop opposite the hotel. You have to pay for car parking (£5 for 24 hours).

    I stayed at this Travelodge after going to a wedding reception nearby. Travelodge is a no thrills…read morehotel and i will try to bear this in mind while i write my review. We drove past the building the first time. It is a miserable grey looking building and it just moulds into the local scenery because all the nearby buildings look the same. Check-in is as 3pm and you cannot gain access any earlier. We were early so we paid and displayed in their car park which was a reasonable £5 for four hours and asked at reception for directions into town. We were quoted a 20 minute walk. It was nearer to 35 minutes in reality. When we returned to the Travelodge there was a queue of people waiting to be served but it was all amicable and didn't take long for the reception staff to shift the queue. There is an ice cream vending machine in the reception area. Check-in was quick and easy. We were issued door cards and went to our room. We took the stairs to the first floor. The stair walls were heavily marked but not dirty. The bedroom was a good size. The floor was clean, the bin empty. There were enough towels and toilet rolls. The only real complaint we had about the room was that the toilet had not been cleaned and the previous guest had left us a sizable present. The toilet bin lid appeared to have faeces on it. The shower curtain was yellowing and there was mould along the bottom of the curtain and in the shower grout. The bed was clean and smelt freshly bleached. We voiced our concerns about the dirty toilet as we were leaving for the wedding reception and the young man who helped us was so helpful he was going to give us a new room. We were in a rush so we asked him to get someone to just clean it instead. It was sparkling when we returned. When we returned, we ordered a nightcap from the bar. Unfortunately they could only take card payments because they didn't have enough change in the till. I'd thought that was kind of a given basic in retail, but we paid by card. We sat in the lounge area with the hard no-thrills sofas. They had the footy on in the corner. It was warm. This Travelodge isn't too far from a railway line where the trains rumble past quite frequently. The last one i heard was at half one in the morning and they were still passing at half six, roughly every twenty minutes. For breakfast, we took the lift down. There are two lifts, both are small (hold 8 small people each) and were really dirty and smelt a bit. We were greeted by the kitchen staff when we entered the lounge for breakfast. That was nice. Items available were a range of boxed cereals, milk, croissants, toast, muffins, a range of spreads, yoghurts and sausages, bacon, tomatoes, egg and beans. The cooked foods were all tasty, except for the scrambled egg, which had no flavour at all. Tea, coffee and juices were also available. You'll need to get down there within half an hour of it opening as seating is limited. There is also a free pay phone for the use of calling taxi's which everyone in Brighton seems to do as the fares are so cheap! The staff were very helpful. Check out was a doddle you just hand your door cards back in at receptions and that's it you're free to go:)

    Always hard to rate a hotel on a single one night visit but for me this place was fairly good,…read morebreakfast was a bit overcooked but the room was clean, staff very friendly and helpful and the building itself an amazing piece of history. 3 stars looks low to me but as it says it was A-Ok for the price it should be 4 but there is no distinction here on Yelp.

    Not bad. Usually when staying at budget hotels I tend to go for the newer types like Holiday Inn…read moreExpress. My previous experience of older hotels, especially former grand dames like this has been pretty poor. I didn't book the hotel, which is how we ended up staying here, but I was pleasantly surprised and although the interior decoration isn't my cup of tea, everything else was fine. The location is ideal as it's right in the heart of town as well as being next door to the beach. Our room was clean, the bed very comfortable and I had a great night sleep. We found the bathroom to be a fair size with decent water pressure for the shower, although I'm not a fan of showers over a bath. Breakfast was good too. We both went for the full English with toast and left feeling satisfied. The coffee though was weak and it's a shame as everything else was nice. The big question is, would I stay here again? The answer to that is yes and hopefully they read this and learn how to make proper coffee in time for my next visit.
