A good and safe short stay place

A very good location for staying in Brighton for a short visit. Has got everything that you need for a night or two. Longer stay with more time spent in the room than the sleeping and getting ready time would be an individual decision of whiat requirements are of importance or not for your own convenience.

Good location but incredibly dirty!

The room was decorated nice but was very dirty. There were marks all on the toilet and shower floor that looked easily wipeable with a cloth. The hot water tap didn’t work. There was dust all over the room - on the lampshade and under bed was incredibly thick dust.

Dirty

Not a great stay, was very dirty, carpet had so many stains the seating part by the window which could have been lovely to look out to the sea was ripped and really filthy, as for the shower, we didn't have one, a slow trickle of water but the main reason didn't have a shower was because it was so dirty didn't look like it had been cleaned for months.

The trip was great and the accomodation was brilliant, the management allowed me to check in early for a small fee which was fantastic. the room was well presented and it was very quiet considering the hotels location and the room i was given was next to their reception area.

The room was small, but comfortable, I only stayed a night there, the place is nicely decorated, bathroom facilities are a little small, taps in the sink did not work which need looking at urgently, overall though I was happy for what I paid.

The building tried. Hard to hide flaws with quirky paint scheme. First glance is very nice but facilities are awful. Our shower didn’t work and had to was using the sink. Bed was rock solid on a flimsy frame. Walls are not sound proof and anyone moving even a floor below would resonate in our room. Bloke snoring downstairs was soothing tho. Couple having sex in our ears was not so. Staff was incredibly friendly and never felt unsafe.

It was basic but pleasant at the same time. I would strongly recommend booking one of their three parking spots outside the hotel if you’re taking the car. It’s £20 out front but £40 a day in the multi story car parks that are a fair Walk away with heavy cases! The hotel was in a good location for when you’ve had enough and need to sleep without loads of noise! Only saw a receptionist once during my stay so can’t say anything about the staff. It’s average, get a good price. Enjoy yourself!

Garlicky bathroom stench to wake you up!

Hotel was in a great location. Room was very small and on the top of a 4 storey house which was not advertised. Bathroom stank of garlic in the morning. Chap on front desk didn’t advise the front door would be locked once all guests had checked in - there was a key for the door but would have been nice to have been advised. Glad we only stayed for the one night.

The Willow Hotel

Our room was very dusty, the sink and toilet had limescale build up. The room doesn't have double glazing, so the room was very chilly in March. Our room had a small kettle and only 3 sashes of coffee for the 3 night me and my daughter stayed. We had to buy our own. The view was nice

Needed somewhere cheap for a couple of days, was ok as only there to sleep and tried to stay out all day and was clean. Bathroom very small and door difficult to lock and keep shut. Shower head low so difficult to do more than a quick rinse. Bed not overly comfortable but could be personal preference for a softer mattress.

Wouldn't stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night, as we came down for a festival. On arrival there was confusion over our names (two people with the same name) which lead to a mix up in rooms and a car parking space. This was frustrating given that I had just paid to park, then ended up being refunded and spent ages finding somewhere else to park, however we understood how that could have happen. We moved to our allocted room, as per our booking and my partner noticed the window did not have a lock. We did not feel safe staying in a room without a window lock, especially as the property currently has scaffolding up. We were moved to a other room (this now being the third room), the situation with the window being the same. We explained that whilst we appreciated it was difficult to open it from the outside, it was absolutely doable. Not only were our belongings unsafe whilst we were out, but we felt unsafe at night. Why bother having a door lock if you don't do the same on the windows? We returned to our original room. So after all these issues and 4 room changes, this delayed us on getting ready and meant what was supposed to be a really fun exciting night, became so unnecessary and avoidably stressful. The bed was okay, but squeaks every time you remotely moves and the decoration in the hotel is okay if you aren't looking hard enough. I guess you pay for what you get. The hotel is obviously getting a face lift externally, but it still has alot to be desired.

A little tired….

Bed was comfy (even if did fill room) I was expecting a single but got a double which was a plus. I had a good nights sleep. Parts are looking tired and the floor in bathroom needed repairs and the sink was literally falling off the wall…put my hand on it whilst brushing my teeth and literally moved! I hope they spend time now season coming to an end that they rectify these issues. Only mirror was above sink so couldn’t really see what I was wearing, but plug socket by bed near door to bathroom, meant I could straighten my hair.

I booked a 1-night stay at this hotel almost 6 months ago for this weekend. The location is brilliant and I didn't have issues with the noise outside as I'm a heavy sleeper. However, the carpet in my room was filthy when I checked in, full of pieces of paper and hair pins. I didn't try to change rooms because I was planning to spend most of the time outside anyway but I felt the cleaning standards were definitely not worth the £110 rate for one night. Disappointing.

Avoid at all costs!!!!

I booked a double room they tried to give me a single covered in flies when there was clearly two of us. Room was then changed to what I originally booked but then room was again filled with flies everywhere. Found a secret camera in one of the ceiling lights. The bathroom had to air vents. The window was full of mould. The rooms surrounding us were very loud during the night due to the thin walls. As the hotel is on a slope, our room was slanted with the head of the bed descending. Just a terrible dirty experience. Never again!!!!

This isn’t really a hotel it’s a converted house! This isn’t really an issue and I was sort of aware of that when I booked it. The overall experience was meh. The room was really small! Certain areas haven’t been cleaned in a very long time.. we found cigarette butts in the room, crumbs and other waste in chairs and on the floor and the shower had quite a bit of mould growing in it. The property provided less than the minimum when it comes to amenities not even having shampoo or body wash. Overall you get what you pay for and it’s in a really good location to get around Brighton but be aware it’s not up to the standard you’d expect with most chains.

Dissapointing and unsatisfactory stay

We were returning guests after having a wonderful stay here previously, but the hotel is under new management. We were greeted pleasantly and the staff allowed us to leave our bags before the check in time. Check in itself was quick. Our room was located on the ground floor next to the reception desk. Due to this, we could hear staff on the phone as well as loud music playing from the reception area and this continued until late. The room itself looked basic (less decor and little touches) compared to our previous stay. It was clean enough to stay in however the room itself seemed tired and in need of attention. No toiletries were provided in the bathroom and sadly the pump on the handsoap was broken. Following our dissapointing stay, compared to our previous stay under other management, we will not be returning as we believe the price of the stay was not reflected in our visit.
