Great location!
The hotel was very clean, but needed a hairdryer in the room, possibly iron and ironing board and a fan, as the window only opens a fraction.

Property in a great location, and our room
was good size with comfortable beds
But interior is quite run down, giving it a grubby feel, even though the place was fairly clean

Three of us stayed in the triple room and it was very satisfactory for us. Check in was easy. The cleanliness was good and the hotel was quiet and respectful. I would stay here again!

It was very lovely time with my family for a few days. I really love it. This top was so friendly and I really like this place. I wouldn’t recommend it to all of my friends and my family.

Comfy little gem right by the beach.
Small guest house very pleasant, helpful welcoming staff. The bed was lovely and clean with soft comfy pillows 3 each. Bed was soft. The room was perfect temperature & we slept well, felt safe and secure. It was so quiet. The bathroom is tiny but we coped fine it was only one night and we had plenty of nice towels. Kettle so we could have a cuppa. Just a stones throw from the beach.

A lovely weekend stay.
We had a nice stay.The Old Palace is within a short walk of the pier and the city centre.We stayed in room 5 which was very clean and had a good shower with comfortable beds.The young lady Tatiana was friendly and helped us with our check in and check out. We are already looking forward to a future stay with The Old Palace guest house.

Modernisation needed
The price reflects the experience. Overall a decent stay for three gents on a jolly boys weekend. Beds comfy. But the hotel clearly requires modernising. Very friendly staff.

I would stay again.
Was a really comfortable stay, close to reasonable long stay parking, town, the pier etc.
Staff were very helpful. Room was very clean and spacious.
Good communication from venue in advance of stay.
Only recommendation would be to have alternate milks.

I was worried that it is non air conditioning when I booked but it turn out well. Comfortable rooms, walking distance to the central and 5 mins walk to the beach. Supermarkets, restaurant and cafe are within walking distance.
Be mindful if you have big luggage as there are no lift and the stairs are narrow.

Cute little guest house
Cute little guest house with great service. However, not a place to stay if you have dust allergy. Dust in walls and ceiling and old carpet.

Very outdated and basic. Very loud- can hear everything on the street, hallways and other guest rooms.. I REALLY wish I had read all the reviews and done my research before booking this room! We ended up leaving early and booking another hotel for rest of our stay.. wasted my money!

Fine for explorers, not so much for a family.
This place is probably fine for a few friends on a trip together to see the city. It is not ideal for a family that would spend equal time in the room and going out.

We were only staying in Brighton for one night and had already booked to eat out, so just needed a place to sleep for the night and this guest house was okay. The room was clean, comfortable and not a bad size. The en-suite was small but again it was clean and the shower worked well.
When we arrived we were a little confused trying to find the reception area but eventually found the lady downstairs (in the converted cellar room).
It was possible to park on the street but for 24 hours this is quite expensive. We parked at a car park which the guest house suggested to use. It worked out at about £20 for 24 hours.
The guest house is a 5 minute walk from the Promenade, and about 25 mins to the Royal Pavilion.
All in all, this guest house was fine for us and pretty good value for money too.

Short family break. Only downside was street lamp outside room. Need to extend curtain rail to block out the light.

The property was fine and the price was good. Staff excellent. Bed soft but I slept well. Near to beach and pier and casino. Reasonably long walk to train station (17 mins) and to marina (opposite direction). Shower a bit pathetic and room dark, but for me did the job. I knew what I was booking. It is what it is and it was quiet.

Friendly staff, nice room. Qiet and close to beach. The only problem was that the tv in the room didn't work properly. Only a few channels were working. The Friendly host tried to fix it but wasnt able to. Instead we got a later check out time. I would have preferred a tv in good working order.
