Stylish and chic place to stay 2 km away from Marina. Spotless units with crisp sheets as well as a bath at the end of the bed, and welcoming staff. A wide range of food available in the restaurant. Great and incredible location right by Brighton's famous pier, the gorgeous Brighton beach and the water front in a lovely area. Quick check-in and excellent customer service. Great way to end our trip.
