Good place to stay
Was in Brighton to see Eric Prydz concert. Needed somewhere straight forward to stay. This hotel is good - Clean, modern and friendly staff. I think the other negative reviews are quite harsh

Below basic at above average cost, apart from the comfortable bed I can think of nothing to recommend this place.
More like poor grade airb&b.
I travel and walk a lot staying in French hires, shelters and Spanish religious, all much better than X in every respect

I have read other reviews about this hotel after I had booked it, and those reviews were disgusting. Whatever people expect for the price of this hotel are beyond my reasoning. It was clean, fresh and every amenity in the room for a pleasent stay, which I most definitely had.

Brighton weekend 5/6 july
There was no toilet bathroom. Shower was good. Beds were comfortable. There was a TV and coffee maker. Access to room
Was complicated but there was someone on hand to help. It was better than I expected as some of the reviews were terrible.

Only good thing was the man on the desk checking us in, otherwise I can’t say I’ll stay here again. There must be nice rooms downstairs but upstairs felt like nobody cares about them as they’re cheaper rooms, don’t think anyone’s given the room a proper clean in a while as there was fresh bedding

Ok for the money
Friendly welcome and very easy to check in and access the property.
our particular room was very run down decor wise even for the cheap price that we paid. If your looking for a bed for the night then great but if it’s nice accommodation that your looking for then this isn’t the one .

The check in process took all week to navigate. Lots of forms and only a whatspp group. The website on line booking form did not work. The hotel is tired, frightening and very very dirty.
Never stay there again

Hotel X is a scam hotel
This is a SCAM hotel. DO NOT BOOK HERE I booked and paid beginning of May. 3 days before reservation in July they wanted more money in fees! 2 hours before we were due to check in they cancelled the reservation. There is no front desk. Everything is communicated only by wattsapp messages. You can’t phone. Hotels.com don’t help either when you reach out to them - which I did about the extra fees. They have all my money. Hotel X replies are all copy and pasted, so they do this constantly.

NIGHTMARE
my experience of booking this accommodation was a nightmare from start to eventual refusal to stay. when i got checked in and shown to my room, which was a supposed upgrade from single ensuite to a double ensuite. the ensuite was not actually in the room, you had to use the bathroom outside the room. [ensuite surely means that the bathroom/shower is inside your room]. needless to say that this was not acceptable! the room i was shown was in the basement, down some external stairs which were quite steep and not very friendly. upon getting back to the reception area, they were unable to provide any other suitable accommodation within the property. they advised that a full refund would be forthcoming, so we will wait and see.

I would not stay again as it was very misleading on the website. The room is not what was advertised so disappointed , No reception or staff member to speak to. The beds so uncomfortable to asleep on. Bedsheets wasn’t clean. I had ridiculous noise levels during the night which caused lots of unpleasant noise my children can’t falling asleep well.

Avoid this place
Never staying there again. Room was in basement accessed via a very worn outside staircase with rotten hand rail.
No where to store clothes, no coat hangers for hanging rail. Broken toilet seat. Blood coloured marks on wall. Walls generally very marked, needs redecorating. Shower riser broken and shower door has a very small opening so if on large side you would never get in it. Everytime the rooms above us used water we could hear the noise of it and the dripping of leaking pipwork. People smoking in shared court yard which had ours and other room windows on, so if that smoke had come into our room we could of been changed £200 for the smell of smoke. They threaten you a £20 per hr charge for late checkout, tjis charge could also apply if you leave rubbish in room or leave it dirty.
There is also a hidden charge of £4.97 per person at check-in, which is non refundable.
Check-in online and you have to verify yourself and anyone staying with you using photo ID.
Avoid at all costs

Not impressed
Carpet had stains, tv remote had chewing gum stuck to it and was greasy, bed sheets were clean but that was about it. Overall stay was quite uncomfortable to be honest but convieniant to the city centre.
