If you are looking for a place to stay in Brighton - the Alvia Hotel is worth considering.

Promoting itself as a boutique hotel, the Alvia is really a good quality Bed & Breakfast.

The decor and furnishing are impressive and the room comes with a DVD/CD player - a real plus if we had planned ahead.

The location is ideal, being at the edge of the bohemian Kemp Town area, and only seconds from the sea.

It also has the advantage of being quieter than some other hotels in Brighton when noise at night is likely to be a negative factor.

This is a mix between a boutique hotel and and B & B. It has the high quality linens, dish TV and great bathroom soaps and lotions, but feels real intimate and more like your a guest of a rich friend. The location is great and close whatever scene you may be into in Brighton. By the way Brighton is a great weekend spot if you are in the UK!

We stayed here at the end of May. Having been to Brighton before a couple of times i know how hard it is to pay less than "60 a night for a double room.

This B&B is not a boutique hotel like it claims, it is a nice modern clean b&b, however some ikea furniture does not make it 'boutique'. The hotel staff were polite, but not overtly friendly... they didnt offer anything except to check us in.
The room was tiny!! This is not a hotel room, but a bedroom. The room had a double bed, and very little room to walk round the bed! This was it, at times it did feel claustraphobic!! However, it was very clean and modernly furnished!! The bathroom again was small, but again couldnt fault the cleanliness of the place.

Breakfast is openly described as FLEXIBLE however, in my opinion serving breakfast between 8am-9am is not flexible! However it was pleasant, and again room was clean.

As with most b&b's there were not staffed often, however this seemed to be less than most. It was deserted after 11am!! We left our bags by reception on the last day as advised, yet did not feel particularly safe, all the room keys were on disply so we could have happily helped ourselves and they would have been none the wiser as to the culprits! We didnt!!

Overall this wasnt a bad stay, i have had worse but i have had better. For the same price you can book in the Travel Inn. Although no frills, it has more room and a bigger bathroom!!

If you are looking for clean, good location, fairly modern than this is it, but the prices do not always reflect what you get in brighton!!!

My boyfriend and I booked this hotel for the night on a weekend. There is so much accomodation in Brighton that it is often difficult to find one that is reasonable, clean and friendly as some people will stay anywhere just to be near the beach on a good day. Happy to report that the staff are so friendly and professional and it makes a real difference when you make your booking and also when you are given a warm welcome on arrival. I booked a contemporary double room downstairs - fantastic clean and shiny bathroom and comfortable large room. Within easy walking distance to the beach. We were given a delicious breakfast the following morning served in modern contemporary dishes in keeping with the style of the hotel.
