United KingdomVery friendly, great breakfasts, very clean and extra comfy bed.
United KingdomHosts were welcoming and kind. Will definitely stay again! :)
United KingdomHosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, providing information on buses for a walk I had planned. The room was immaculate, comfortable and nice touches like a biscuit and bottle of water. The breakfast was the perfect fuel for my big hike. Great location too.
United KingdomWe would like to say Thank You for Julie & Melina for making our Brighton experience the most wonderful one. Breakfast is a must at this place! Absolutely the best! 2min walk to the sea. Cozy, warm and very welcome place to sleep. Everything was amazing! Honestly great place. Good value for money.
United KingdomJulie and Melina were amazing hosts, so warm, attentive and friendly. The room was spacious and well decorated, with an extremely comfy bed and crisp linens. The breakfast was delicious, with a full English breakfast on offer or cereals and yoghurt. We had an excellent nights sleep. Thank you, we hope to stay again soon!
United KingdomGreat location, beautiful guesthouse, fantastic breakfast, very friendly and welcoming hosts
United KingdomBeautifully decorated room, well equipped with ensuite. Bed and bathroom linen excellent quality, plenty of hot water. Pleased to see no single use toiletries although a small shower gel available for those without. 10 minute or less walk to shops and theatre, straight down the hill and central to Kemp Town. Julia & Melina are wonderful hosts, friendly and professional. Breakfast more than adequate, hot & tasty. I travelled alone and felt very looked after. Thanks 😁

Starlings Guest House is a beautifully presented guest house situated in the Kemp Town area of Brighton, close to the sea front, the pier and the Pavilion. Each room is tastefully and individually furnished, and we pride ourselves on providing spotless, comfortable accommodation which feels homely and welcoming. Our generous, delicious and freshly cooked breakfasts are a real treat, and will set you up for a full day of exploring everything Brighton has to offer! We very much look forward to welcoming you on your next visit to Brighton.
There has been a guest house at 12 Upper Rock Gardens for many decades and we bought it in July 2014 when it was then called Coward’s Guest House, in honour of the English playwright, composer, and wit Noel Coward. We changed the name because we love the murmurations that European Starlings perform over the pier during the winter months when they swoop in perfect formation in a dramatic aerobatic display. We should say that the starlings also visit us at the back of the house, although their actions are slightly less balletic as they fight over the bird feeder! We have had a few careers in London between us, before we decided to ditch the daily commute and relocate to Brighton, and travelling extensively for work as well as for pleasure hopefully means that we have acquired a good understanding of what guests want and how to ensure the perfect stay. As we also live in the guest house, we like to think that this homely atmosphere helps our visitors relax, knowing that we are always here if they need us.
