Very small, very cute guest house. We stayed in the suite at the very top of the hotel - not so much an effort to get to, as lots of the reviews mention!! Beautiful room, very shabby chic.. shame about the finish on one of the walls - I believe there was a problem they were looking into at the... More

We just returned from a mini break at the oriental and were both so impressed. It was like staying at a dear friends house! Our room was stunning, with beautiful touches like aromatherapy light, lovely furniture and the comfiest bed ever! The team were lovely and even gave us a late checkout as I came down with a cold!

Staying at the Oriental was a thoroughly pleasant experience from start to finish and we will definitely choose this comfortable, attractive and welcoming hotel on our next visit. Having spent some time researching options, we were not at all disappointed on arrival. The fact that the hotel was full, on a chilly but sunny day in February, is testimony to... More

The people at this hotel are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. In reality it is more of a smart B&B than a hotel but provided this is understood there will be no disappointments. The room was clean, somewhat cramped but not excessively so. The breakfast was excellent. All in all a nice place for a weekend break. More

The staff were great. Catherine, the owner, called me before arrival to see whether I needed help finding it, and... More

Second visit just the week before xmas to tie in with a much looked forward to Aloe Blacc concert. Delicious food, great character, made to feel very welcome, chilled and close enough to amenities, but allowed us to have a decent walk in to town. However, best room without a doubt is on the super deluxe without the balcony, higher... More

We Stayed for two nights and stayed in room 4 it was comfy,a good size and clean , the breakfast was fantastic , my only slight negatives were the tv control which seemed to be a little temperamental and we didn't realise the hot water wouldn't be on all day, but when we requested it they sorted this very quickly....

My boyfriend and I spontaneously took a trip to brighton this weekend after seeing an offer for bed and breakfast at the oriental. After hearing good things from friends I immediately booked with a very friendly young man on the phone. On arrival we were chuffed that we had been upgraded, the hotel seemed quaint enough and the location was... More
