Staff are very welcoming.
This hotel has a very friendly, laid-back feel, largely because the people who run it are some of the friendliest and most down-to-earth-people you could hope to meet. Without doubt, you really are assured of a very generous and genuine Geordie welcome wh

Location is very handy.
As well as being an easy 15-minute walk from the city centre, The Brighton also benefits from having a number of handy bus routes stopping very close by. The hotel's proximity to the A1 and A69 is a bonus too as it makes driving into the city a breeze.
positive:
Guest rooms are immaculate.

negative:
