We needed somewhere close to a wedding reception in the town centre and found this B&B. We were greeted by a very friendly welcome and a newly decorated bedroom. The shower room was tired but clean- it is clear that a great deal of thought and effort has been put in updating this place, one room at a time. We had a tv, hairdryer and generous coffee making facilities plus plenty of room for clothes. The beautiful bedside lights were a little dim for book reading but thats me being picky!
An outstanding selection for breakfast with some of the best mushrooms i've ever tasted :)
We would absolutely stay again :)

This was the second time my partner and myself have stayed at the Amblecliff. We had no hesitation to recommend it to our friends and as we were planning a trip to Brighton in August, we all stayed in this lovely B&B. If you are looking for luxury and the price tag to match then this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a lovely clean room, comfortable bed, great breakfast, excellent location and friendly staff then this is definitely the place for you! Elaine and her staff will make you most welcome, I will definitely be staying there again when I next visit Brighton. Fantastic place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay at The Amblecliffe, a small, affordable, typically English hotel in Brighton. Somehow this is exactly the kind of hotel you want to stay at when visiting Brighton. The Amblecliffe is not brand new or a luxury hotel. I'd describe it as comfortable, relaxed, and a place with character. Like a B&B.

We had a larger room in the front. Nice bathroom and good shower. Soft bed. All you needed to make coffee and tea in the room. Free cookies and candies.

They served a generous, delicious breakfast (but they don't lay out an extensive spread on buffet like you might see in a larger hotel).

We didn't hear anyone at all (surprising in an older house like this), although one morning we heard creaking floorboards from the people upstairs.

It's located in a charming residential area on the east side of the town centre of Brighton. There were a number of these large-houses-turned-into-hotels on this street.

The location was right for us. Plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops nearby. It's walking distance from everything in Brighton for those willing to walk a bit. For those who aren't, the bus stop is nearby. The hotel is about 200 metres from the beach (and a very modern and affordable gym called, er, "the gym").

We enjoyed meeting and talking to Elaine -- hotelier / legal exec / paraglider / free spirit extraordinaire. She was a vibrant, accommodating hostess and she knows how to run a hotel.

I guess this place is around 2 or 3 stars, but I'm going to add one because we enjoyed it so much. We left it with a smile on our faces and the feeling of having had a great weekend.

Elaine was a welcoming host and the staff are all lovely. The room was clean and tidy and we had everything we needed, and more. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
