Right on the Brighton Sea front this is a very typical Thistle Hotel. Clean, helpful staff, traditional décor but its not shabby. The location is good is you are here to sample the nightlife and shopping as its less than a five minute walk for both.

The rooms are pretty standard. Double bed usual furniture, clean and simple. Bathroom is the same too.

Breakfast was great but because its ordered rather than a buffet style you do wait a while. Ok if you are not in a hurry but if you are here on business and have a tight schedule leave an extra 20 minutes for contingency.

The hotel can be quite expensive (£140 per night for a double room ) but as with many other Brighton hotels you can get quite a good deal and pay around £80 per night including breakfast. I would say if you can stay for less than £100 its worth the money if not its not worth the money.
