About Westbourne
A Victorian townhouse on Upper Rock Gardens sets the tone for Westbourne, a small guesthouse-style hotel with just 13 rooms in the heart of Brighton. The building's period character comes through in its layout, giving the place a homely, unpretentious feel rather than a polished chain-hotel finish.
Rooms are kept simple and functional, suited to guests who want a comfortable base rather than a lot of extras. Breakfast is available for an additional charge, and free WiFi and luggage storage are provided for those exploring the city on foot or heading off after checking out.
The location on Upper Rock Gardens puts guests within reach of Brighton's attractions, making it a practical choice for a straightforward stay in East Sussex. It suits visitors who value a central spot and a personal touch over five-star polish.

What guests say
Guest house with attractive rooms with period features, about 5 minutes walk from the seafront. It's advertised as a bed and breakfast on Google maps but definitely no breakfast! My room was small but had everything you'd need. The separate private bathroom was on the next floor up. There's no staff on site, but a phone number if you need anything. I'd definitely go back for a short stay in a convenient location that doesn't break the bank.

Firstly, the hotel we booked is called "INNIT Bliss" on Hotels.com yet when we arrived it appears the hotel is actually called "Westbourne Hotel & Spa Brighton" (perhaps because of the terrible tripadvisor.com reviews... We came on bonfire night after watching the amazing bonfire event at Lewes. This hotel seemed convenient and at £60 for the night seemed quite reasonable, considering the great Brighton location and novel room. However, when we arrived we were saddened to find a number of things: Bathroom: 1) Hairs in sink and bathroom counter 2) Dirty toilet seat which we had to clean 3) Just terrible finish, exposed piping Bedroom: 1) Intense smell of damp. Had to open the window. 2) Dirty/ Stained TV remote 3) Hairs in bed 4) Wifi weak and disconnects regularly We did appreciate how comfortable the bed was and also how nice it was to have a Bath Tub in the room. Nice size Roku TV too. The cleanliness was the big fail and also lack of parking availability. Avoid.

This was really good, the room, which had a single and a double was perfect for us because I had just come out of hospital and I needed to rest alone. My partner had the single and that suited her too - avoiding my tossing and turning! - but it was a lovely place and it was clean and tidy and in a great location. It was Pride weekend and we saw a good bit of the spectacle - although we didn't go there for that weekend but we ate and drank and name merry and enjoyed the sun and that was great. The staff were great and we were lucky with parking (they will sell you a 24 hrs permit). All in all a good place although it is not a b&b in the strictest terms because there is no breakfast - but that didn't bother us and we will go again!

The room was smaller than it seemed in the pictures online, but that didn't bother me as the bed and mattress were really comfy. Netflix and Amazon Prime for entertainment. The wallpaper and furniture looked elegant. However the footstool was broken and so was the toilet seat. My favourite bit was the shower. It was spacious and easy to use technology. Could adjust the temperature of the water as per our desires. The fresh towels, shampoo and shower gel as well as coffee kettle was welcome. There wasn't any water provided. We weren't disturbed by any noises from outside but the blinds wouldn't shut well. Overall it was a little more than okay experience and we just might give the place another chance.
