My girlfriend and I stayed in the Cavalaire Hotel in May 2013. I can not stress enough what lovely people Gary and Derek are, they made us feel so welcome with such a personal and friendly service from them both. It was home from home for us. The hotel is ultra clean and stylish. I would recommend staying here to... More

Absolutely lovely hotel, and 5 star service. Derek and Gary are so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. The decor is attractive, and there is great attention to detail. We stayed in room 10 in the basement (although it doesn't feel like a basement room, there's lots of natural light), which is a large room with a super comfy super-king... More

The bed, pillows quilt etc were super comfortable. Everything I needed was there. The hosts were attentive,helpful and absolutely charming. Breakfast options were great and cooked perfectly. I...

A very comfortable, boutique B&B with rooms finished to a very high standard. Centrally located for the seafront and local bars & restaurants. A first class personal service from the owners, who are proud of their hotel and keen to help you find the other first class, privately owned eateries Brighton has to offer. A real gem of a find!!

We have just got back from two great nights at the Cavalaire. We were travelling primarily for a wedding but the Cavalaire was so great that we feel like we have had a mini holiday too. Garry and Derek are the best hosts, and lovely, fun people as well. The whole building was immaculate, furnished beautifully and the breakfast was... More

Over the last 10 years I have stayed a 4 and 5 star hotels all over the world, and at many B&Bs in the United Kingdom. I was hoping for a good stay at the Cavalaire, and I was not expecting the absolutely fantastic service and amenities to which I was welcomed. The decor is impeccably perfect English. Either they...

Exceptional hotel in good location close to sea front. Owners of hotel very friendly and extremely helpful in recommending restaurants, bars, things to do etc. Upgraded room free of charge due to building work. Breakfast at hotel fresh and very good. All in all, would highly recommend the cavalaire.
