2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The hotel was charged at £118. The stay was for one night and the listing stated free parking with a walking distance from the beach being within minutes. The hotel itself was ok but over priced for the room due to no decent tea cofee condements being available such as milk cartons which I thought was poor given the price. My partner had to run out to grab a milk. Several light bulbs in the bathroom were not working. The listing stated that free parking was available by parking on the next street which actually turned out to be a few blocks away which was a good 10 to 15 min walk. Not near the hotel at all! Upon my stay, my car was broken into and goods of value were stolen.It was a really poor experience and put a downer on my trip. I was informed via email prior to my stay, I could apply for a council permit for free parking, but was only notifiied of this option a day before my arrival and that I would of had to notify the council 24 hrs before my stay! The hotel was chosen for its closeness to the beach and free parking. Very disappointed. For the price point and the inaccurate listing offering free parking, I would go elsewhere and look for something cheaper. Too overpriced for what it was. Also. no staff were present on site during my stay which I found strange so I could not raise this issue regarding the parking and my concerns for my vehicle. I would seriously look for cheaper better alternatives as this is quite misleading.

The location is good, within walking distance of the seafront and the town centre, and there are lots of cafes for breakfast nearby. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the shower room and toilet was very small. Parking is an issue, as available on street parking is a considerable walk away.

4/10 Poor

Although the bedding, towels and in general was clean, the carpet was really dirty, we didn't even want to walk on it in bare feet, the toilet didn't flush properly, the shower door wouldn't close from the inside. We arrived very late at night and the room was bitterly cold, the radiator didn't come on until the morning so we had a terribly cold, uncomfortable night. We left the next morning as the hotel really did not live up to expectations.

Host was super accommodating even when we asked for an early check in at 12 and the previous residents had asked for a late check out at 12. We couldn’t have asked for more. Only 6 rooms but they are clean and modern. Great location and would stay again! Thank you!

Basic...not standard. Needs an uplift!!

Check in was via a text with codes for the front door and bedroom door. Room booked was a standard double but better described as a basic double. Room was a decent size for the price and for 2 adults. However, the carpet was dirty with bits of dirt etc in the carpet, so we kept our socks/shoes on. Curtains were falling off the rail. Wardrobe was sufficient but had scratches and marks all over it and dust and bits inside. Coffee/tea facilities were Great, good selection of tea/coffee/hot chocolate and different selections of sachets of milk. The bed...felt more like a camp bed...springs very bouncy and the mattress was very thin. Bedding was clean. Bathroom was tiny...had to have the door open to sit on the loo unless you sit sideways...I'm 6ft and chunky! The shower was tiny, so had to have the door open to bend down....sorry for the mental picture!!! The floor had marks and dust everywhere and there was hair and mold around the shower tray. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls too. The first night we were woken by 2 lads in the basement shouting just after 2am, we went and spoke to them and it appeared they 'lived/worked' there and were apologetic and stayed quiet. No confirmed staff on site so would have complained if there had been at the time. For the money we paid, it was overpriced and needed a clean and update/uplift. Location of the guest house was great, near the front and 10 min walk to the pier/shops etc.

Room disappointing but great location.

Colson House is ideally situated for exploring Brighton. Entry is by keypad code which worked well. The staff we met were friendly. The room, however was noisy - it overlooked a busy road and the windows were old allowing noise to penetrate. The bed was far too soft for me and I didn't get good night sleeps, but this is a personal preference. We were pleased to have purchased parking permits for the 3 days we were there. Parking is at a premium and the permit allows you to park anywhere in Zone C, not necessarily directly outside the guest house. We were lucky to find a space in a nearby road.
