Ideal location for public transport. Room very clean & tidy. Staff are very friendly helpful and polite. This is my second visit, and will be returning again. I give it, 5 \* ##### Dominic Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner Chi was very friendly, and the room is nice for a stay near the beech in wonderful Brighton. ##### Alan Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin 3 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location It's in a good location, close to shopping area. Bathroom was hidden in what looked like a closet. Better rate the longer you stay. ##### Kevin Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Ian 8 Jan 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is close to town which is great and the staff responded quickly to any questions or needs. However, the place wasn’t properly cleaned and I have several bite marks around my body from bed bugs for this reason I wouldn’t recommend this place ##### Ian Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sergey 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Picture look better than reality. Rooms are small, mattresses and pillows aren't great, bathrooms are tiny. Good price though and good location. ##### Sergey Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ellie 17 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Basic but great overall! I recommend. My room at Motel Schmotel was great. The room was small and basic but had all amenities I needed. My lamp stopped working but I’m sure if I had reported it, it would’ve been replaced. Qi An was a lovely host and carried my bag up to the fourth floor for me. Good price and close to the city centre - great for solo travellers and business trips like mine. ##### Ellie Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Sept 2023 #### Older dated room Hotel is basic. No reception or so. Basic cleaning on the day. Room was old and a bit dated. However, clean. Toilet didn't flush properly. It did the job to sleep there, but, not more than that. so, if you are okay with a very basic, dated but clean room, it will do. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### GREGORY 21 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service More shabby than chic, I nevertheless soon became quite enamoured of my humble little room on the first floor. These prices were often a third of the travelodge. Is Schmotel three times worse than travelodge? No it’s a different thing. I was therefore pleased that there were no ghosts or Frankensteins and no poo on the wall or ceiling, and nobody with loud and evil intent anywhere in the seven blessed rooms. ##### GREGORY Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 27 May 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay for location Arrived on time but nowhere to get in, no reception, waited 10mins then asked housekeeper who went out but she’s didn’t speak a word in English. After 5mins asked her again mimicking what I want so she gave me number to call. A person came. Everything in house extremely old and worn out and half-broken; toilet never fully flushes, mini fridge makes noise so need to unplug for a night, floors extremely squeaky with every move, you can hear all neighbours (even next door) their every step. Floors also not straight at all. Shower not scrubbed, rusty. The only good thing was the bed - very comfy. If I ever had to stay again it would be due to location which was perfect. 3mins walk to beach, 2mins to high street, 10mins to Royal Pavilion, 15mins to Pier. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E8B5BB2EAADE3A308DE1A602C0732EC0A68745A41716819169710.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E929D9A6AC63A8ED859361B19B84A0FF6F7457851716819168584.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FAB5D10304E9D53D239DBB3FC2E197794F51EDA31716819168832.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/00DD7E8571296B25E640C439348CEC2F80805F4E1716819168652.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Toby 11 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Convenient location, nice staff/hotel manager. ##### Toby Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 14 Jul 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Good location, unfortunately came home with a lot of bed bug bites ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Nur Arif 24 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities strategic location and nice staff ##### Nur Arif Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andy 30 Nov 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Never been in a more filthy room in my life.

Ground floor room you hear everyone; outside, inside, everyone. Cracked toilet seat but otherwise room was doable but the disturbance was really bad.

Clean, tidy and quite spacious. There was a squeaky door downstairs, which someone kept opening and shutting throughout the night making it quite impossible to sleep. There did seem to be a lot of noisy activity in the hotel? I would go back though. ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### TRACY 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Staff & service The property was fine apart from a drunk in the room next door shouting and smashing things , was very un nerving , and no visible staff to complain too . ##### TRACY Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > - [Kempfield House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Kempfield-House-Hotel.h2632411.Hotel-Information) > - [Malmaison Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Malmaison-Brighton.h1675498.Hotel-Information) > - [New Steine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-New-Steine.h1152113.Hotel-Information) > - [Upper Rock Brighton Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Upper-Rock-Gardens-Guest-House.h106940721.Hotel-Information) > - [The Charm Brighton Boutique Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Charm-Brighton-Boutique-Hotel-And-Spa.h2290699.Hotel-Information) > - [Brighton Black Hotel & Hot Tubs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Brighton-Breeze-Hotel.h2281417.Hotel-Information) > - [Ambassador Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Ambassador-Hotel.h1088228.Hotel-Information) > - [Marina Apartment Parking by Brighton Holiday Lets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Marina-Apartment.h31156011.Hotel-Information) > - [The Dilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Dilly.h21538.Hotel-Information) > - [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > - [The Twenty One B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Twenty-One.h24425958.Hotel-Information) > - [Brighton Inn Boutique Guest Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Brighton-Inn-Boutique-Guest-Accommodation.h8808526.Hotel-Information) > - [INNit Hotel - Marina House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-INNit-Hotel-Marina-House.h92169681.Hotel-Information) > - [Strawberry Fields](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Strawberry-Fields.h8171777.Hotel-Information) > - [The Willows](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Willows.h83921011.Hotel-Information) > - [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h21659.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > - [INNit Vibes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-INNit-Rooms-Upper-Rock.h48612059.Hotel-Information) > - [Fab Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-OYO-Fab-Guest-House.h8239792.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Palace Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Old-Palace-Guest-House.h90961764.Hotel-Information) > - [Beaches Brighton 1](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Beaches-Brighton-1.h31960962.Hotel-Information) > - [Legends Hotel Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Legends-Hotel-Brighton.h10413174.Hotel-Information) > - [Hamptons Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Hamptons-Brighton.h23064052.Hotel-Information) > - [Drakes of Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Drakes-Of-Brighton.h1381349.Hotel-Information) > - [Marine View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Marine-View.h2302158.Hotel-Information) > - [Upper Rock Brighton Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Upper-Rock-Brighton.h102561365.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information) ---
