Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Old Palace Guest House is appreciated for its convenient location, putting guests within a comfortable walking distance of Brighton's attractions, with the pier just a 5-minute stroll away and the town centre reachable in 10-15 minutes. The triple rooms are noted for comfortable single beds, and practical amenities such as coffee/tea facilities and TVs are generally well-received. Some guests have occasionally mentioned noise issues, particularly in rooms near the entrance, but overall, the guest house is considered good value for its price.

convenient stay near the pier

convenient location friendly staff easy access
i found the location quite convenient, it was just a short walk to both the pier and the beachfront. nearby shops offered easy access to anything i needed. the staff were friendly and helpful, this contributed to a positive experience overall.
The noise from the hallway was noticeable. I could hear other guests coming and going. it wasn't a major issue but did affect my sleep quality slightly.
Service
9/10
The receptionist was helpful with directions and check-in was efficient. I got settled in quickly. they seemed genuinely interested in, so i felt welcomed. the staff were readily available to address queries.
Facilities
8/10
the guest house included complimentary wi-fi throughout the premises, and the connection was generally reliable. a small common area allowed guests to relax. the hotel offered basic amenities appropriate for a short stay, but the building was not very modern.
Dining
8/10
a breakfast service was available, it included a selection of cereals, pastries, and juices. the dining area was clean and well-kept, i never felt crowded. coffee and tea facilities were available throughout the day, they were a convenient amenity.
Rooms
8/10
My room had a comfortable bed, and a small desk provided a workspace. the bathroom had essential toiletries. the shower pressure was a little low. the room was clean and tidy, though quite compact-it was adequate for one person.
