“OK, but overpriced”

Square

6 Apr 2008

My wife and I recently stayed at Square in Brighton. The staff were generally friendly, and the room (a king) was of reasonable size with a nice bathroom. However, for what you get, it felt overpriced. Similarly priced hotels like Hotel du Vin which we have stayed in before offer more for your money. For example the breakfast on offer is only continental - you don't have the option of cooked. Irritatingly, our TV controller didn't work very well either. The view from our window was onto neighbouring houses, so not much privacy if blinds open, but even if blinds closed they didn't black out light well at night. These might sound petty points, but I don't expect to find these sorts of negative things when I am paying this much per night.

Pros - the bathroom was good with a spacious feel. The hotel was centrally located and near the seafront.
Cons - Overpriced. The blinds didn't black out the light very well.

“Look no further than Square. Definately go here, best boutique hotel in Brighto”

Square

1 Apr 2008

I have just returned from a super stay at the Square hotel where the ambience, rooms and staff were delightful..

Firstly it is impossible to get a room in Brighton for 1 night and although Square follow this policy they were really helpful in waiting for friday bookings to happen before calling me to say there was 1 free that i could have for the saturday night..

Then they gave me a courtesy call on the morning and offered early check-in and when i got there they upgraded me to the most beautiful of penthouse rooms which resembles a sloane square boutique flat.. i leterally didn't want to leave as the room made me feel like a celebrity for the day!

They recommended a wonderful restaurant which was amazing and generally i cannot fault any aspect of the stay..

The staff were great, the clientelle are what you expect and the hotel is very quiet and perfect for anyone looking for a perfect retreal in Brighton..

If only they could of brought me sunshine it would of been the prefect day, but you can't have everthing i guess!

Thanks to everyone at square for going the extra mile to make everything perfect..

2/2 found this review helpful

good location but go for large room as the smaller room, nice as it was, was very cramped for the 5 star fee.
staff were lovely
generally felt it was more a b&b than a hotel although a very smzrt one.

1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed there for one night and it was OK. Clean and the room was looking smart enough. Not much else to say really. Like most of this type of smart and trendy B&B's they are held together with bluetack - this is a little better than some and quite freindly.
