I was dissapointed with this place shabby had to go accross the road for breakfast the proprietor was rather rude I think they survive on the conference trade where people have to take anything that is available, like I did more

This was a one night stop-over on a cycling trip along the south coast. We knew we would spend minimum time in the room, so went for budget accommodation and weren't expecting anything too posh. In my book a cheap/no-frills B&B/hotel should really mean no extras and maybe not so much space in the room - but there's no excuse... more

When we arrived we were thrilled with the location of the Russell as we were going to see a band at the Brighton Centre which is just around the corner.

The b&b is very clean and seems to be well run. Our room (number 2) was on the first... more

Good value - Good breakfast - Friendly atmosphere more

As previous reviewers have stated, the breakfast is good. The hotel is very close to all the amenities, just at the back is a good selection of bars and restaurants which are worth checking out. Would definitely recomment it and return at some point. more

Although this is a more modest Guest House, it represents extremely good value for money. Our family room was on the top/third floor, which was fine because we were pre-warned about the stairs and given an option whether or not to book. We felt that the cost was very reasonable. In fact, the room was a good size for three... more
