Great dog friendly hotel with amazing location!! The free snacks in the room were excellent... SPACE RAIDERS AND FREDDOS.

Quirky in a nice way, lovely host, great breakfast, and good location.

Everything else was fab. The decor downstairs and in the room was fun and funky, the staff were super-friendly, Covid-safe, and helpful, hot drinks all included in the price, tasty food, and the lovely dog, Lola, was my friend for the night, while I sat in the bar area and had a hot drink. The shower tap had been twisted too far and they came up and fixed it straight away, so I managed to enjoy a luxury shower too.

Staff very friendly, room cosy and comfortable, good WiFi. Clean but can improve.

Very welcoming and hospitable staff who really sought to make it a great stay. It has a nicely relaxed atmosphere and was very dog friendly. Great breakfast and a good location accessible to the Lanes, Beach and some great restaurant recommendations.

As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Lola, made to feel so welcome. We had a lovely stay and would def stay again. We stayed with our dog,who also was very welcome/spoilt , the room was comfy and clean. We would def stay again.

The hotel was in a good location close to many local attractions. The staff were very friendly and always willing to help or offer advice. The hotel was very clean and the breakfast was lovely. I would definitely recommend this hotel. My 7 year old daughter really enjoyed and did not want to come home.

We received a lovely, friendly welcome with the offer of a hot drink & home made cake. We had told them we’d be in Brighton a little earlier, so would bring our cases to them and then come back after 3 for check in but they had our room all ready for us early. It’s a lovely place, nothing fancy but really homely and comfortable.

Exceptional hospitality. Fantastic room - everything had been thought of. Breakfast was amazing. We will definitely be going back.

Very quirky and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent and the kids loved the basket of treats in the rooms.

Hosted by Lola and Luna

Lola and Luna
The Oriental is in a grade II*-listed building, built around 1825. Once the home to the notorious ‘Brighton Belle’ nightclub we have attracted famous DJ’s from Boy George to Norman Cook. Since taking over ownership in October 2012 Lola has been successfully running The Oriental as a boutique guest house, maintaining its stylish and resonantly Brighton ambience, with a personal and dedicated service.
Lola & Luna are the proprietor and her Boston Terrier. Lola grew up in the hotel industry; her family has been in the bed and breakfast business for over 50 years. Before coming here she spent the previous 10 years working with them in London, gaining knowledge and experience and now brings all that good stuff here. If there’s anything you need or want, don’t hesitate to ask as she is always on hand. She also loves to have a chat so feel free to join her and the team in the lounge for complimentary tea, coffee, juice, soft drinks and home made cake!
The Oriental is a stone’s throw away from the seafront, in between the Bandstand and the West Pier. Situated very close to the i360, the Brighton Centre and less than a 10 min walk into the centre of town where Brighton’s independent shops are located.
