"I looked for the best deal in town and wasn’t disappointed. Minutes from Paddington station but miles away from noise, cited in a leafy square. For a hostel, this was perfect. Unexpected extras included fridge, microwave, desk fans, kettle and no need to ask for more towels or loo paper. Crisp clean bedding, fresh feel. This is basic done with style and the staff were lovely. Would definitely book with them again. Thank you."

Maldron Hotel Brighton City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great location just a few steps from the sea front. Check in was very quick and easy, rooms very clean and comfortable"

Cotswolds Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"We were given an upgrade to larger room which was ok..but lots of stairs , as third floor and both over 60 lol but appreciated the extra space . Hotel was in good place for visting other places. The meal we had in the restaurant was yummy , i had the fish and chips and hubby had the burger. But breakfast not so good, bacon was hard as was streaky and it was a mix for scrambled egg which was not very nice , tin mushrooms and tomatoes needed cooking longer and sausage and hash brown was ok and beans .Fruit salad was basic was melon and apple maybe 5 grapes sliced in half in it . After restauant being so good was shocked with breakfast feeling so cheap. You also had bread for toast and spreads and yogs and cereal and usuall drinks."
