“Very basic, clean in great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2009

I would recommend to a friend on the understanding this is a very basic room, very clean but could do with a lick of paint and a tidy up. We were struggling to find somewhere to stay within our budget and for 1 night only, this was £25 PPPN for 1 night stay. The location was brilliant 10 second walk to city centre, car parking was again 10 seconds walk to the B&B, was £25 for 24 hours however the owner did know somewhere for £12 just up the road.

“Not bad....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2008

After an overnight flight from Canada, I knocked on the door of this hotel and was offered accommodation for only one night. Apparently this hotel is quite popular, as it was sold out for the following 3 days.

My room was basic, but clean and well kept. The shower and toilet facilities on the landing were also in good order. Breakfast was not available.

After settling in, I immediately began to search for a similar hotel for the following nights. Without much trouble, I found something in Regency Square (Keehan's Hotel) for a lower price.

All in all, I found this hotel to be quite satisfactory. At 35 pounds per night, it may be a little pricey, as the other lodging I found in Brighton cost only 25 pounds.

“stay with caution”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2008

Ok so as previous reviews state the location is excellent, you are next to evrything you could possibly want. the hotel is very basic and the furniture is probably older than my grandad!!! we went with friends who ended up have bigger rooms than ours, our room was unsuitable for a double, i would maybe even go as far to say it is unsuiatble for a bed fullstop! however we had a great weekend and we so close to everything it made up for it, all in all i think we would probably stay there again, we aint classy birds !!!!

“Would stay again...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2008

Sandpiper guest house is a great location! The room we had came with a double and a single bed, sink, which was very handy and some storage. We faced on to the sea which was lovely. The room was clean and the beds were fresh. the communal shower room/toilet is nice and clean. We did not eat there but the owner is very accomodating and friendly. I think that the guest house is very good value for money, if all you want/need is a bed for the night I would recommend! I would stay there again.

“I'd rather sleep under the pier than this place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2007
1
person found this review helpful

I've stayed at this hotel a few times 'cos too be fair it's cheap & I was on a budget...however even at £25 a night I felt like it wasn't good value. The hotel does however have a good central location and I would say is more suited to students or people on a tight budget seeking a cheap weekend in brighton rather than families.
Upon arriving at this hotel I thought there was blood over the pavement outside which gave me a terrible first impression...I was later informed in broken English by the owner that this was in fact sweet & sour sauce!
The owner seems friendly enough when it comes to making a payment for your stay, however, when it comes to assisting with simple requests such as providing hot water he seems a little less welcoming.
I've stayed in 3 of the 8 rooms the hotel has to offer including the presidential suite which contrast to its rather grand name overlooks the car park. The room could have been more inviting as the pillows smelt of bacon. Also the towel which I was given was so rough that I wouldn't have even used it to clean my car with.
This hotel is for people on a budget only & could really do with some investment by the owner. I'd only recommend it too people after a cheap weekend break in brighton.

  • Liked — Price, tho would call it value for money based upon stanards

  • Tips/Secrets — Avoid unless on a very tight budget
