The Genevieve Hotel is possibly not a "Hotel" if you're used to a Reception area, a bar and a lounge 'cos there ain't any; and so, by definition, is probably more of a Guest House. But don't let that put
you off if Guest Houses aren't your thing. It's non-smoking (ok, so it.s not for you if you smoke) and exceptionally clean throughout. It's very comfortable and all of a very high standard. We were in Room 9 which is at the back of the hotel and though without a "nice" view, you are guaranteed peace and quiet which is what we wanted. The bed is huge and comfortable (though if we nit pick, more plush pillows would have made "excellent" into "luxurious"). The facility of WiFi was faultless and very easy to use - if we can use it - anyone can!!! Breakfast was spot on, we're early (ish) risers so the issue of being too late for breakfast never arose. If you state your personal cooking preferences, chef is more than happy to oblige. The proprieters were lovely. Very friendly and very helpful. Our room was 3 flights up and our ample bags and baggages were all taken to our room for us, which after a long journey was very welcoming and much appreciated, as was the choc bar provided on the refreshments tray! The hotel is ideally situated for just about everything. 5 minutes walking to the sea front and pier, 10 minutes to the city centre and 2 minutes to Kemptown - the location populated by the gay community. As a gay couple we felt totally accepted and welcomed. There are a wide variety of clubs, bars and pubs in Kemptown to suit every taste. The only pain in the butt was the parking (the place needs a Park and Ride) but again, Dave - the proprieter made sure we didn't make any expensive errors. Thanks Dave and Lynne for a great Easter break - brace yourselves - we'll definitely be back! Jude and Ruth - the Cheshire Birds.
