Very clean 🥰
Localisation, propreté, accueil
Comfortable room. Very helpful receptionist. Well maintained and clean
Very unusual decor. Dark walls, smoked mirrors, semi-erotic art in the bedroom. Well maintained though, and fun to stay for a night.
Immaculately clean, decor is very funky, the team are lovely. Great location close to everything. Breakfast is superb.
Nothing!
Everything about this property was great. Brilliant location, beautiful decor, polite and friendly staff. Owner seemed lovely too. Would definitely come and stay again.
Very clean great location and staff very welcoming and polite
BRIGHTON S PARKING IS A TOTAL RIP OFF . Theres no help to people and businesses that try so hard to bring money into the city . COUNCIL want it always .
Great location and fantastic staff
Really good nothing to complain about
Breakfast was brilliant. We felt nalis. Think that was his name, needs a lot more help. He was excellent but was rushed off his feet. Greedy owners need to help him with more support or staff.
Parking was a problem. Lucky we got a spot outside. But it was extra on our stay.
Clean, well furnished, well located, staff were friendly and incredibly helpful
Familiäre Atmosphäre; frisch zubereitetes Frühstück anstelle eines Frühstücksbüfetts; zugewandtes Personal; zentrale und dennoch ruhige Lage
Unbequemes Bett; keine Klobürste im Bad
Great room well equipped
Stinks of damp
Great location. Everyone we came across who worked at the Square Townhouse was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was amazing! Very unique property. Personally I loved it.
Can’t comment. Everything was great 😊
Fantastic hotel we were warmly greeted and the suite was spectacular. Breakfast was a delight very special. All the staff were so attentive and welcoming. A great place to stay!
Nothing
Amazing decor but also immaculately clean. Lots of space and a really comfortable bed. Lovely helpful staff.
There was nothing to dislike!
Super clean hotel, nicely decorated, very comfortable beds.
Not the fault of the hotel, but our top floor room was a little too warm on a hot summer’s day. They made us as comfortable as possible with a large fan.
Polite friendly professional team running the hotel.
The location worked for me, close enough to food, to have a walk, good location. The hotel was good to excellent, worked well for what I needed.
Parking in this area is a challange, I "managed" it but it was a case of finding some parking near enough to the hotel. Paying for parking was a challange for sure.
Modern, clean room, nice staff
Room had a broken switch for light in bathroom so as we turned it off to go to sleep it did not go off so had to shut the door but there was still light coming through which interrupted sleep
The room, location, staff and the breakfast were excellent
Great location and nice room, with a view over the park and to the sea. The staff were all really friendly and very helpful. We had breakfast one day which was very good. Good value at £15 per head and cooked fresh to order. I would recommend the breakfast.
The price of the room was high. £330 a night (excluding breakfast) felt steep but I guess that this reflects Brighton's pricing over a Pride weekend.
The staff was lovely the food was nice,
The heat which cannot be helped caused a restless night. But For the amount of money you spend on staying in this establishment air con should be introduced especially as it’s only going to get hotter The fan which was by a brand bush, never has been cleaned out. So it made the room hotter than it should have been. Also some furnishings need some up keep from stains
One word - stunning. The attention to detail is unbelievable.
Bulbs in bedside lights too dim for reading. Lack of plugs for charging phones etc.
Very centrally located yet it was quiet and tranquil, with beautifully decorated rooms and furnishings. This includes the main areas of the hotel along with the room in which I stayed in for a few days
There are a few steps on the main entrance but this comes with a period property and the upper floors are only accessible via stairs. So if you have a lot of luggage request a room on the ground floor.
Vi hadde et veldig hyggelig opphold på hotellet, og det svarte fullt ut til forventningene mine. Personalet var vennlig, imøtekommende og ga god service. Rommet var rent, komfortabelt og stille, noe som gjorde oppholdet behagelig. Frokosten var veldig god, med et variert utvalg av ferske og smakfulle retter, slik at det var noe for enhver smak. Alt i alt var dette et flott opphold. Jeg kan anbefale hotellet og kommer gjerne tilbake ved en senere anledning.
Komme ikke på noe
Nice room, great location, outstanding staff
Wasn’t able to leave our dog in the room by herself. We were going to a formal event and we had no choice but to take her with us. Luckily it wasn’t too hot. Make sure you know where nearby parking is.
i have stayed in brighton a lot of times, found this place by chance, loved it and would recommend to anyone staying, staff was excellent, thought the room was very decent, and was perfect location as away from the busy side of brighton but just a quick walk and then your among the hustle and bustle of the lanes.
cant really fault this place
Location is fantastic
Breakfast can be slow if everyone arrives at the same time. It was worth waiting for though
Beautifully decorated hotel very clean and helpful staff. The room was lovely and was well equipped. Location was good for both the town centre and the beach. We didnt do breakfast so cannot comment. Nice touch of a fan being placed in our room without having to ask during the very hot weather.
We only had a rain shower which I am not a great fan of but that is just my personal choice. When I stay again I will request a different room :)
Decor, staff! Sea view.
Nothing
We loved the decor, the location and the staff. The breakfast was delicious and we felt so at home! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends and family and look forward to staying again. Thank you so much for our lovely stay.
Excellent location,beautifully presented,first class service and the most amazing breakfasts.
Nothing.
A beautiful hotel close to the seafront in the Kemptown area. Amazing decor, pristine accommodation (we stayed in the Japanese room) bright and airy even with the intense heat we are all experiencing. Sash windows that opened fully to allow the sea breeze in. Fabulous bathroom with a super deep bath. Everything was superb!
Nothing!
Lovely modern place with clean rooms Lovely breakfast and excellent service
Mattress could do with being replaced
Lage sehr zentral , großes Zimmer ( Suite)
Lage des Zimmers im Souterrain, kein Fenster zum öffnen nur eine Tür in einen geschlossenen kleinen Innenhof der allerdings von weiteren Gästen einsehbar war
Spacious fun room with a great bathroom and good coffee making facilities. Lack of air conditioning is a bit of an issue but have the window open and the supplied fan is a big help.
Front seaview. Beautiful room. Comfortable bed and super bathroom.
Parking is not easy in front of property but nearby 5 minutes walk is always possible
Excellent breakfast and stuff
Smaller bed and room space
We loved everything about this fabulous hotel. The staff are the friendliest people you could wish to meet and made us feel right at home. The location was perfect and our room were beautiful with a lovely sea view.
Nothing.
It is close to the sea and it was ok until a deposit was requested which was not stipulated in the booking. I am waiting for that money to come back to me in the afternoon. The excitement was for me and the damage,minibar
Yes all good
The property is gorgeous, well looked after and a great location.
Excellent location, wonderful friendly, helpfull and efficient staff. Very generous and interesting breakfasts. I would like to thank them all for looking after us so well!
Keep in mind there are 5 floors and no lifts if you aren't good with stairs. You can always request the lower floors.
Every aspect was perfect and exceeded expectations.
Nothing!
Style. Cleanliness. Staff. Spacious.
Gardens opposite were full of tramps drinking alcohol from the hours of 6pm till 1pm. We stayed on top floor and it was impossibly hot. Could not have windows open as too noisy outside. Single fan in room but not adequate.
Unexpected, funky, eclectic spot. The staff was really nice.
Friendly staff
Had to sleep with bedroom lights on, they dimmer switch was broken so they stayed on
No parking
The style of the room and how close everything was
It can get a little noisy outside and you can hear it all

Sehr gute Lage und nettes Personal, nicht weit von Brighton Pier. Super Bus und Zug Verbindungen nach London. Das Zimmer hat alles! Die von uns gebuchte Kategorie ist sehr klein, vor allem das Bad. Wir haben 28 Grad in Brighton gehabt und die Nächte ( ohne AC ) waren sehr stickig, trotz offenem Fenster und einen kleinen Ventilator .
Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, ein wenig Renovierung bedürftig.
The style was gorgeous, quite glam and glitzy. Loved the mirrors in the bedroom. The bed was so comfortable. The staff were flawless and couldn’t do enough to make you feel comfortable.
The location / check where you want to be as it was a good walk to place I had booked for dinner. But the location is still good.
Staff were welcoming and attentive
The hotel location was perfect The bed was very comfortable and the shower was spacious The hotel was querky lovely decor 😍
Location was great Loved the size and decor of the room
No lift or air on
Great size room and comfy bed. lovely breakfast and great location right next to the beach. nice coffee machine and biscuits in the room and good glasses. Friendly staff and good communications.
The room was large and very Bond lair (if a bit chintzy) but was in the basement so very dark and a bit claustrophobic. The small patio was locked and clearly hadn't been cleaned and the air con unit wasn't sufficient for the room. The bed was comfy but it was impossible to sleep well on a very hot weekend. Great breakfast but no restaurant. The towels and bath mat weren't changed when the room was cleaned.
Nettes ,kleines Townhouse, Lage zental, Strand nah.
Es wurden zusätzlich sehr hohe Gebühren für den Hund verlangt.Wir waren 2 Tage dort und zahlten 50 £ . Das war nicht ok.
Great location, clean, lovely staff and breakfast, everything there that you would need

Our room was comfortable and well decorated and very clean. There is a coffee machine and mini fridge and enough space for us for our w night stay.
Nothing
Lovely room, lots of character and a nice view of the sea. Loved the welcome pack for my little dog.
No issues
location is superb
All was nice, but was expecting more for the £275/night the hotel cost. Stayed in other hotels nearby with same facilities but a lot cheaper
Make cheaper
Room was a lot smaller than the images suggested, which is normal, but extreme in this case. Toilet was also small and the body wash holder on the wall was broken. For the price I expected better.
The breakfast was great, good choice of cooked breakfast and coffee. The staff were also really friendly and helpful. We liked the location, close to the beach and also a short walk into the centre of Brighton.
My partner had to pay £30 for a small neon birthday sign (not to keep and can be reused by the hotel) and balloons for my birthday as it was my birthday trip and he wanted me to have something nice at the hotel. A lot of other hotels offer something small for birthdays free of charge. Not a deal breaker but a nice to have!
Excellent location and beautiful sea view from the bedroom. The staff were friendly and attentive and made our stay extra special as we were celebrating a birthday. The breakfast was delicious - loved the bruschetta! Great all round.
Great breakfast. Quiet location but right near the beach. And attentive service.
location was free good. The only problem was the TV
Everything was amazing
Sehr nettes, herzliches Personal. Sehr schönes Zimmer und sehr sauber.
Nice location near everything but away from the centre. Very warm welcome and very helpful staff. The bed was very comfortable, the room was small but really well thought out.
This is personal preference but the lack of a/c coupled with a warm day and the heat being on when I arrived made my room incredibly hot. Worked out how to turn the heater off but my window opened onto a flat roof so it didn’t feel safe to keep it open all night.
Beautifully furnished property with gorgeous rooms and wonderful staff who couldn’t be more helpful. Great location - perfect stay and we will be back
Loved everything
Modern and comfortable rooms. Friendly staff and great breakfast. Perfect location for town and beach.
It’s not cheap but this is a case of getting what you pay for - cool place and I’ll stay again for sure.
Great location, clean, good breakfast and lovely staff.

Very authentic and cosy, exceptional breakfast
The service and greeting from the staff was probably the best I’ve ever received. So friendly, professional and welcoming.
The room we were staying in does get cold. They however did warn us, and a space heater was provided which solved the problem.
The hotel is incredibly well located and really stylish. I had a fantastic welcome from staff upon my arrival and an excellent check-in experience. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the service was lovely. My partner and I had a truly romantic and relaxed getaway that we will not forget. Thank you Square Townhouse!
The only 2 things I’d note if you plan to stay is that the shower in the Cozy King is directly overhead, so if you don’t want to get your hair wet, it’s almost impossible not to. A super quick fix would perhaps be to provide some shower caps or to bring shower cap with you. Also, our room was on the top floor with beautiful views but there are a lot of stairs to climb, so if you have any mobility issues, ask for a room on a lower floor. The stay was exceptional though! I will be returning.
The location was excellent
Location, cleanliness, staff friendliness, and exceptiinal breakfast.
