Alex Polizzi would have a field day here, perhaps she could squeeze out a whole series from here alone... I am no stranger to "budget" hotels & hostels whether in the UK or further afield in Africa & Asia, but this was really one of the poorest ever, made worse by the fact that the price charged was far from...

Dirty, poor quality. The beds were awful. The shower had no lock. Stains in many places. Unsafe electrics, not PAT tested, which is illegal. Pricey. Advertised as B&B, but no breakfast offered. No one there for check out. Smelly. Loose lock on door. I have low standards, but please go elsewhere.

People seem to complain about the most stupid things - most of them you could tell in advance by reading the details - if it says 'shared bathroom' that means you might share a bathroom. We received a warm welcome from a lovely chap (I think he was called Mark). He was staffing the bar and on his own but... More

This is the worst place we have ever stayed at.. Dirty and the smell was just awful... we could smell it hours after leaving. We did try to book somewhere else as soon as we saw the place but everything was fully booked. We were in Brighton to see family and would have gone home straight away if not for... More

We stayed at The Crown and Anchor in Brighton as part of a weekend with friends to visit the seafront and the local bars and clubs. Brighton itself is spectacular however the same cannot be said for The Crown and Anchor. The rooms were grubby, the cups by the kettle were dirty and the sugar sachets were rock hard and... More

We booked 3 nights over the queens jubilee bank holiday weekend but only stayed 2, had it not been so busy every where else in Brighton we would not have stayed at all! Entrance to the rooms is through a door with peeling green paint which leads to a small hall that smells of damp. As you go up the... More
