Loved the location as my son lives n First Avenue so location perfect for my trip. Also he had his daughter’s christening n the Claremont on Sunday July 29.
Nothing
De tuin was achter het huis gelegen.
De voordeur klemde. Wij hebben geslapen op de zolderkamer. Hier waren kleine ramen en te weinig ventilatie. Het was ontzettend warm. Het bed maakte veel geluid. De deur van de kamer was heel laag. De prijs voor deze kamer is erg hoog. Wij hadden gekozen voor dit verblijf, vanwege de hoge reviews. Deze zijn naar onze mening niet terecht.
Great location, friendly staff, nice facilities in room
Shower didn't drain
Sympathisches, angenehmes, typisch englisches B&B. Einzelzimmer gross genug. Schöner Garten. Nähe zum Strand.
Hoher Preis für ein Einzelzimmer mit Frühstück. (Hochsaison, Brighton war schon Monate vor meinem Aufenthalt ziemlich ausgebucht...)
The hotel was beautiful .
Breakfast was a bit too late for me
Very good breakfast. The staff was very helpful and kind. The Claremont is very cosy and with a good location.
The price was a litle bit too much… increased by the several local events. The Nick Cave concert and Pride Parade.
Lovely room, fabulous location.
Room very small, quite hot. Could do with an iron & ironing board actually in the room.
Den varme, personlege velkomsten og det nydelege, praktisk innreia rommet.
Den bratte trappa var litt strevsom.
Sizeable and comfortable room
Water pressure was problematic
the hotel was in a great location with plenty of parking available close to the hotel and at a reasonable cost.
Cosy place close to Brighton & Hove beach
Spotlessly clean property! Super friendly staff as well. Definitely recommend this place if you intend om visiting Brighton! I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Brighton.
Staff super-friendly. Nice room. I have stayed here 3 or 4 times and I always come back when I am working in Brighton.
Parking would be hard if you brought a car (I didn't).
Location, features, art!
Can be a bit noisy at night because of the great location but thoughtfully ear plugs were provided as was a fan for the room during the recent hot weather.
Fabulous location in Hove close to restaurants, cafes, shops and the beach. Lovely Victorian features in the hotel and great choice of local artwork for sale. My room was huge and the bed was very comfortable and a good ensuite shower.
Nothing really - it was a hot stay but not much the hotel could do apart from provide a fan which they did. Lighting in the room was rather dim - perhaps needed lighter coloured lampshades.
Great location, great atmosphere. I loved the cleanness of the room and the cozyness
An airconditioner would really make a difference on hot nights.
Good location near cricket ground very friendly staff
Stairs a bit of a challenge
Room weell appointed with extra facilities, fresh coffee etc
Bath slow to fill
Perfect location for me with quick and easy access to the cricket ground, the sea and Hove's central street with cafes, etc. It's also only roughly a 20-minute walk into Brighton. Really enjoyed the 5 nights I stayed. The building is well-maintained and quiet. The room is a good size, welcoming, and comfortable with a well-stocked tea tray. I would recommend and would be very happy to return.
Locatie en personeel
I have stayed at The Claremont on several occasions before but , this time, they upgraded me to a beautiful large room with a four poster bed. It was a delight and so was the stylish bathroom. I had gone for the weekend to attend my best Friends daughter's Wedding and honestly , the room made me feel so special on such a special weekend.
There was a slight problem with the toilet on the last day not flushing properly. It is what can be expected in these older featured properties but it didn't hinder my stay. I obviously reported it on check-out .
The warm welcome and the breakfast
Room was cold!
No fuss, straightforward. Exactly what i wanted
It was very hot and would have helped not to have kept opening the curtains
Loved it thank you
Very comfortable room in a beautiful old building. Friendly staff.
Interesting hotel, with a bit of the building's history in the info pack. Welcome was warm. Breakfast range had lots of choice.
The information on Booking.com about parking and the Booking.com email which told me less than 24 hours before our stay that we needed to give 24 hours notice that we required breakfast - hotel accommodated with less notice thankfully.
excellent service
It was a perfect location for what we wanted to do. Comfortable, clean and quiet.
Nothing 😃
Quaint, v comfortable and excellent staff. Great location. Would happily have spent a week there.
Nothing
Skvělá lokalita, hezké ubytování.
Nebyla mi poskytnuta snídaně která byla v ceně ubytování, bez omluvy či vysvětlení.
We love the Claremont. We had a smaller room than usual this time but it was still great. The location is perfect and we had a look in the garden this time too.
Absolutely nothing.
Cozy, warm, and lovely area. They allow dogs also
Did not affect us, but reception is not always manned, so make sure you let them know in advance when you arrive
It's a great house, central location and very quiet.
Nothing.....it was all great.
Very clean, safe and comfortable. It’s very hard to find clean and safe accommodation in Brighton, so this is a good find. It’s spotlessly clean. Very quiet too, no loud partying groups like in central Brighton Beautiful crisp clean linen Like the ‘room only’ rate as most work trips / expenses are now heavily scrutinised / capped with the economic insecurity so it helps to reduce costs
Low water pressure Quite expensive for one night but that said all accommodation in Brighton (and the UK) is now VERY expensive and generally over priced. That’s the rise in costs of everything and not the providers fault
Loved the decor. I felt very relaxed. Beautiful Victorian architecture. Fun walking up the creaky stairs. It certainly had a lot of charm and character. Bedroom was lovely overlooking the pretty gardens. Breakfast choices were excellent. Just enough too choose from the menu.
The room was very warm, trying to work out how to turn the thermostat down was difficult. I had the window open up all night ( safe& secure) .
Staff were all lovely and friendly Room was very clean and good selection of teas, coffee biscuits etc. Bed was comfy and sheets felt good quality. Breakfast was tasty.
Felt a bit dated and could do with a lick of paint. Water pressure poor and hot water kept going cold in shower. Room (12) smelt strange and the bottle of water tasted clinical. Quite expensive for just two nights.
comfortable and good location
can't think of anything to say
I loved the uniqueness and style of the property. It was cozy, and felt like home away from home. I LOVED the location, maybe best location I’ve ever had from a hotel. So close to so many fantastic restaurants, shops, and not to mention 5 minutes from the beach! Also a great pick for solo travel! The single room was perfect.
The walls are very thin so you can hear neighbor’s conversations, but the staff can’t really help that it is an old building. Just something to keep in mind.
A very warm and friendly welcome is top of my list. The room was comfortable and very clean. A huge bed which was also very comfortable with lovely bedding. I liked that they provide everything you could possibly need…even down to black makeup flannels so that you don’t have to worry about ruining the white towels.
The shower flow was not very good
Location
Room a bit small and dated
Very comfortable. Interesting local artwork . Very convenient to many good quality restaurants.
Location was perfect for me. A little noisy outside early in the evening but quietened right down by bedtime. I got upgraded to a bigger room for my stay which was lovely and the room was really pretty and comfortable.
Needed a bit of extra loo roll left in the bathroom - I had to conserve the little I had until morning!!
Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Room was clean with nice facilities. Location was ideal, close to the beach and local bars, restaurants, independent businesses.
Pillows were slightly too firm, but that is just personal preference.
Traveling alone, I found the single room ideal for one night and conveniently situated for the Brighton half marathon. The single bed was amazing and comfortable.
Great room with a four poster bed and loads of space
Bit cold during the day but once the heating came on great
Cleanest
Heating
Great breakfasts with lots of choices. Coffee was especially good. Lovely garden. Wonderful staff. Great location.
Very hot room due to very hot weather. Could have used room darkening shade. Terribly slow wi-fi.
Very warm welcome. Staff very helpful. Room very comfotable and excellent breakfast. Hotel central for what we wanted to do
Can't think of anything
The staff were unfailingly cheerful, willing and helpful - even suggesting we moved to a different room so we didn't have to manage so many stairs. The food was excellent and we were offered tea and scones when we arrived.
A loo seat that didn't fit the loo and wobbled - but a minor quibble in an otherwise wonderful stay.
Lovely room, very clean and well equipped, lovely comfy bed. Very friendly staff and good standard of food. Exceptional value for money
Nothing
The breakfast was delicious. I had to arrive quite late in the evening (when no one was on duty) but the staff provided very clear instructions and a lovely welcoming letter.
Great location. Easy access. Good breakfast. Large ensuite rooms.
Good but not amazing
Not 5 star
Very accommodating and welcoming. The staff were very helpful and pleasant as well. The room was very comfortable.
No lift access unfortunately.
Clean
Too cold in bedroom
The location was excellent for us. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable
The shower pressure was a bit weak
Location, comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for the staff (Ana👍)
Stairs, only because I’m getting older 😂
Very comfortable, very clean and beautifully looked after. Everything that we could need in the bedroom. A great breakfast. Gorgeous art everywhere.
Nothing.
Nice room, nice staff, classy Victorian hotel. Breakfast good.
Being November near the sea the rooms were cold and difficult to warm. The shower water in the morning was also tepid.
Rooms are spacious and comfortable with friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
The location was perfect for me. A very warm and friendly welcome and all staff at breakfast were friendly. Room was good, bed comfortable. Room at the back overlooking the garden. Nice and quiet. I liked all of the art work around. Will definitely stay again.
Nothing really.
Plenty of healthy choice for breakfast. Room was very comfortable. Hotel ideally located near local shops and walking distance to the seafront / promenade.

Would like a few more biscuits and water 🤭
