The Courtlands Hotel

Hotel is in a great location in Hove, just a short walk from the seafront. The hotel is pretty basic and in need of updating but was fine as a place to crash for a night. Has free parking which is good for Brighton

decor is fairly hideous but that wasn't a priority for me. In need of a lick of paint and new sheets without holes....

Size of room, shower was excellent, bed was very comfortable, liked free off-road parking.

Yes. Having driven in circles for more than 15 minutes, my girlfriend managed to spot the sign for the hotel carpark which is on a lamppost and is no bigger than a postcard and almost impossible to see from the road, much less read. Having parked and checked in we were given a key to Room 309 and after a long search ended up on the third floor where the rooms ended at 308. Having exhausted all logical options we returned to the reception where the (otherwise helpful) young lady took a very casual approach to helping us in that she simply didn’t seem to care. She did however fetch someone to guide us to the room, which in hindsight I now regret not tape recording for the purposes of surreal art. As it turned out, (you’re doing to love this) room 309 is not signposted. Rather, it IS signposted, but to find the sign, you need to guess your way to the second floor, follow the signs for the Bridal Suite (well obviously) and once you pass it, go through another set of doors and THEN follow the sign up some stairs to room 309. The gentleman who arrived to guide us impressed me immediately by utterly failing to offer assistance to either myself or my girlfriend in carrying any of our numerous and heavy bags. He did however offer some memorable pearls of wisdom which were gratefully digested through the fug of despair we were by now experiencing, concerning the downright bizarre room numbering system of the hotel. When we finally arrived, I was dumbstruck that he had the nerve to smugly, and with a clear air of superior disapproval, state that ‘some people have trouble finding their rooms.’ By ‘Some people’ I can only assume this means ‘people who can read and count’ given the geographical oddity which is your Hotel.

The close proximatry to the city centre. The curteousness of the staff and the general cleanliness of the establishment.

I know you had building work going on but the car park was a let down. I would like to see the car park have a proper surface laid.

It was the swimming pool that made us book here, just aa shame we did'nt see that it was closed for restoration.

A bit cold in the room,

It was close enough to Brighton to either walk along the sea front or take a short taxi ride into the City.

As the Car Park was full at the tim eof our arrival we were advised to park in the street. However when we returned to our car the following morning we had been given a parking ticket as the street was for permit holders only. The hotel should have given clearer advice on where we could park without incurring a fine.

the hotel was in a good location, an easy walk to the city centre and beach, but far enough away from the noise of the city. Very cosy, comfortable and spacious room and all very clean.

The room decor was a bit dated, although in good repair. There was a wedding reception on so there was a bit of noise from the disco, but it seemed to finish relatively early.

Helpful and friendly staff who all took pride in keeping the hotel clean, tidy and comfortable

Our room smelt like a sewer,and was more like a cupboard than a room. Car park showed the guests the back of the hotel which looked like a slum.

Relaxing, well cooked breakfast, friendly staff. Comfortable

Bit of a problem flushing the toilet. Bedroom could do with a lick of paint.

A comfortable and clean hotel with reasonable rates for the price.It was also very quiet at night when sleeping and with excellent restaurants nearby

I thought the charges for the Internet usage were too high and would have prefered the breakfast included

The local. It´s very near the centre of Brighton. Very near from the sea. Excelent to enjoy with a bike.

The excessive noise of the windows. They are made of wood...

location,cleanliness,hospitality of staff.

the pool not working,but still advertized on web site.I booked the hotel with the pool included,because i have just had a shouder op.i have been told to swim by my physio,which i could not do in the hotel.
