It was okay for what we needed but not worth the £110 charge. The room was very small, just enough space to walk around the bed. Paint work was patchy and most of it was quite shabby. Reception was a little desk with a sign on and free water (that was good but it wasn’t chilled). The bathroom was modern but only one of us got a hot shower. It was cold quickly. It didn’t look like a hotel. More a converted building with tiny rooms. Not close to anything useful and was £15 in a taxi to the seafront but we didn’t book for that so it was okay. Would value it more worth around £60 a night

The room was pretty tiny, and the traffic on the street below was loud. The gentleman who checked me in was very polite and carried my suitcase for me. There is only one restaurant nearby that was pretty lousy. Otherwise, I had to walk at least 20 minutes to get to other restaurants in either direction. It is very close to a very lovely park for walking and relaxing (Stanmer Park). I guess it was ok for the price.

Quite simply disgusting a full refund has been requested. Our team left the hotel and found alternate accommodation. Stay away from the venue under all circumstances.

Says parking available but it’s on street and difficult to find. Room just fits the bed. No space for suitcase or to make tea but there is a kettle on top of a fridge which is on the bedside table. My room had spiders on ceiling and flies on the walls. Noisy till early hours. Bathroom was nice but some mould. Stain on quilt cover.

It was a rushed booking due to a family emergency, and needed to get something booked asap, and didn't read all the reviews. Had we had time to look for something better, we wouldn't have booked here! Sorry. When our Brighton family heard where we were staying, their faces said it all! Ruby is a local pub, for local people, with a hotel above, 15 minutes from Brighton centre, by car. 1 star for the staff, who were lovely. 2nd star for the fridge, TV, and free water. Very small rooms, so take some shinpads!

Fine but late booking caused worry

We booked very late (around 11:45) and travelled to the hotel. The reception was closed at the time and we saw in an email that late check ins needed early warning. This was not highlighted at the time of booking. Staff appeared and we were checked in after some confusion about the room and approval of key release. Glad to find somewhere to stay but this delay on arrival was worrying!

The room was tiny. Having paper cups for coffee is unacceptable. The venue did not offer any food - but this was not made clear on their website. There was no storage space for clothes. Had the price been £50 it would have sent a warning message and it would have still been overpriced. This should not be on your website.

Looks like it's a 'work in progress' and new owners have bought an old derelict pub ? Rooms are OK, fittings look new, though beds are not too comfortable and it was really cold inside (I think the owner had maybe only just turned the heating on). No evening meal available as the pub restaurant was closed (Wednesday) despite there being a menu in the welcome book, and nowhere in the vicinity other than takeaways to eat either. We were recommended to drive 15 mins down into Brighton to get a meal. No breakfast either, though we knew this in advance. In the end we booked into somewhere else.... Could be OK if all the services were up and running and the outside gets a bit more TLC... See photo of the view from my room :-/

The bathroom was clean, the toilet was flushed properly by previous occupant. The sheet on the bed was like it was a turn down from the previous occupant. The was red stain on the sheets. We had to sleep on top of the duvet covers and cover ourselves with our jacket. No a great experience for the price
