The Old Palace Guest House

I really like The Old Palace Guest House as a place to stay when I am visiting Brighton. The rooms are always beautifully presented and nothing is forgotten. Also everyone there is always very friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. I am pleased to recommend The Old Palace Guest House as a very nice place to stay in Brighton.

Bad ventilation, the room was so hot and when we complained, we were asked to open up the windows. they hiked the price cause I paid almost 300 pounds for something that should have been 80 pounds. But customer care is okay. And the bathroom jeez. Felt like having a shower in a mop bucket. I would not be coming back.

Positives Close to the beach Close to the shopping area Lots of takeaways and restaurants around Bus services at the end of the road When we went in November - rooms were cheap £45 for a family room. The beds were really comfortable, so many pillows you could pick the best one for you. Was a duvet on the bed, but also fluffy throw/blankets if you needed them but the radiator was fine. Plenty of space in the bedroom for the two of us Wifi was fine - didnt drop out once Rooms were clean - linen was fresh - good nights sleep. Lady who booked us in was very helpful - helped with places to eat, booking a taxi for the morning etc Tea / coffee tray Some minimal toiletries provided - plenty of towels. Area seems OK, we walked back from BC 20 min walk 11pm at night, no issues. Negatives Long way from the Brighton Centre which we were attending Brighton for - our fault for not zooming the map. No lifts, very steep stairs - not good for people with mobility or lung issues (I have lung issues - but didnt even think to ask for a ground floor room - forgot it was a B&B and not a hotel which would have lifts) Bathroom was tiny - as was shower cubicle. Sink and toilet part was very tight. Amenities in the bathroom not very well set out - guess it didnt used to have bathrooms and they had to convert. Decor not up to date, but didnt really affect the stay. Stairs down to reception were very steep and thin - not recommended for the elderly, those with mobility problems. The walk to the train station takes about 20/25 mins and is really quite steep. (Taxi cost £6 though) Overall, if I was going at the same time of year (Nov) and the price was similar I would probably stay again, Id look into the bus services back and forth. Ive seen the prices are a lot more int he summer, so I probably wouldnt go there at the more expensive times, given the distances, stairs and bathroom. Was fine for a one night visit in winter.

We stayed for 2 nights. The good. The beds were comfy and the room clean. The bad. Furniture dated, room needs upgrading. The absolute worst problem was the noise. We were in room 1 by the front door, people were coming and going until 3am. Guests in the room above were moving around until the early hours. We had music, loud singing from the propperty next door. All this noise resulted in an extreme lack of sleep on the second night so we left early the next morning (8.30am) and couldn't check out as no one was about. For the money we paid we were ripped off. Do Not Stay Here.
