A good and safe short stay place

A very good location for staying in Brighton for a short visit. Has got everything that you need for a night or two. Longer stay with more time spent in the room than the sleeping and getting ready time would be an individual decision of whiat requirements are of importance or not for your own convenience.

The trip was great and the accomodation was brilliant, the management allowed me to check in early for a small fee which was fantastic. the room was well presented and it was very quiet considering the hotels location and the room i was given was next to their reception area.

It was basic but pleasant at the same time. I would strongly recommend booking one of their three parking spots outside the hotel if you’re taking the car. It’s £20 out front but £40 a day in the multi story car parks that are a fair Walk away with heavy cases! The hotel was in a good location for when you’ve had enough and need to sleep without loads of noise! Only saw a receptionist once during my stay so can’t say anything about the staff. It’s average, get a good price. Enjoy yourself!

The building tried. Hard to hide flaws with quirky paint scheme. First glance is very nice but facilities are awful. Our shower didn’t work and had to was using the sink. Bed was rock solid on a flimsy frame. Walls are not sound proof and anyone moving even a floor below would resonate in our room. Bloke snoring downstairs was soothing tho. Couple having sex in our ears was not so. Staff was incredibly friendly and never felt unsafe.

A little tired….

Bed was comfy (even if did fill room) I was expecting a single but got a double which was a plus. I had a good nights sleep. Parts are looking tired and the floor in bathroom needed repairs and the sink was literally falling off the wall…put my hand on it whilst brushing my teeth and literally moved! I hope they spend time now season coming to an end that they rectify these issues. Only mirror was above sink so couldn’t really see what I was wearing, but plug socket by bed near door to bathroom, meant I could straighten my hair.

Not what I expected

Bad points: Arrived at the hotel to find that my booking was not on the list despite booking back in January. The staff member then asked us to wait outside as there was no indoor seating area meaning we had to wait with our luggage. After approx 15 minutes the staff member advised us he ‘found a room’ for us and gave us the key. The hotel is small and very compact, spread over 3 floors. The room I specifically stayed in felt very small and there was not much standing height. The bathroom was tiny and there was a small sink in the corner that was too small to do anything with. The room appears to need a revamp as there is dried marks on the wall that looks like old condensation. The room I stayed in looked nothing like the pictures. There was also a brown smear near the bed frame that I washed off myself, I refrained from flagging this to the staff as I knew there would be no other room to transfer to as the hotel was at capacity. The bed was very firm and uncomfortable and the room was overal very stuffy Good points: very close to city centre and beach front

We didnt even get to our room as at reception we were requested to leave our bank card as a "deposit", because of this, I will be expecting a full refund. The place was disgusting and photos on your website are misleading.

Good location but incredibly dirty!

The room was decorated nice but was very dirty. There were marks all on the toilet and shower floor that looked easily wipeable with a cloth. The hot water tap didn’t work. There was dust all over the room - on the lampshade and under bed was incredibly thick dust.

Sometimes location is not everything!

We stayed for one night during the beach festival. The location is unbeatable, right by the beach, but the property itself is very outdated and doesn’t feel like a proper hotel. Check-in was quick and efficient, but the room was tiny and had a terrible smell, likely from an overpowering plug-in scent, which I had to unplug. Keeping the window open helped clear it out a bit. There were no bathroom amenities provided, which added to the overall disappointment. It’s a shame because the location is great and the place has real potential, but it seriously needs an update. Please do not use any scent in the room.

Dirty

Not a great stay, was very dirty, carpet had so many stains the seating part by the window which could have been lovely to look out to the sea was ripped and really filthy, as for the shower, we didn't have one, a slow trickle of water but the main reason didn't have a shower was because it was so dirty didn't look like it had been cleaned for months.

Garlicky bathroom stench to wake you up!

Hotel was in a great location. Room was very small and on the top of a 4 storey house which was not advertised. Bathroom stank of garlic in the morning. Chap on front desk didn’t advise the front door would be locked once all guests had checked in - there was a key for the door but would have been nice to have been advised. Glad we only stayed for the one night.

The Willow Hotel

Our room was very dusty, the sink and toilet had limescale build up. The room doesn't have double glazing, so the room was very chilly in March. Our room had a small kettle and only 3 sashes of coffee for the 3 night me and my daughter stayed. We had to buy our own. The view was nice

Needed somewhere cheap for a couple of days, was ok as only there to sleep and tried to stay out all day and was clean. Bathroom very small and door difficult to lock and keep shut. Shower head low so difficult to do more than a quick rinse. Bed not overly comfortable but could be personal preference for a softer mattress.
