Friendly, comfortable and well situated, we stayed in room 4 which is very boutique with a whirlpool bath in the room, and a four poster bed with crispy white cotton bedding, the room also has a small iron balcony with a view of the sea at the end of the road.
Excellent value for money, will be staying here again and recommending to all our friends.

“excellent!”

The Griffin Guest House

Loved it here!! Stayed here with my two friends and we all said it was the most welcoming place we have ever stayed.
The rooms are clean and tasteful, and cleaned everyday, which is good when your messy buggers like us! the breakfast was lovely and keiron and chris both went that extra mile to make you feel comfortable. the cats are adorable too!
A real nice hotel where you feel at home and relaxed!
I'm definatly coming bk next year with my boyfriend!

“Beyond Accomodating”

The Griffin Guest House

I and two friends stayed at the Griffin Guest Hotel and had an amazing time. Chris and Kieran were beyond accomodating. So helpful and welcoming, attending to any need, hair dryer, they lent us one, wine glasses, they lent us them, even when chipping one of the glasses, they were not in the slightest bothered. They put an extra bed in one of our rooms and charged no extra. The breakfast was a delight, well balanced and cleanly cooked, not a glimpse of greese in sight, my friend especially enjoyed the salmon and scrambelled eggs, lovely. I would recommend this 'chilled' hotel to anyone, just soo accomodating.

Thank you Chris and Kieran, we will stay at your hotel if we visit Brighton again, great time. David

“Simply the Best”

The Griffin Guest House

10 Mar 2008

I have just spent a weekend here with my 13-year-old daughter and it was a real treat. The rooms were excellent, spacious, and with interesting decor; the jacuzzi bath was a real winner with both of us. Most importantly, Kieran and Chris were really wonderful hosts, going well beyond the extra mile. It is difficult to explain exactly how they do it but they really made us feel welcome.

“pure bliss”

The Griffin Guest House

9 Mar 2008

Absolutely brilliant place. Kieran and Chris are the best proprietors I've ever met - warm, friendly, unbelievably helpful and cook a great scrambled egg. Rooms are kitted out in some style - jacuzzi bath in room and lovely beds - and the whole B&B just oozes relaxation (in a genuine, rather than a 'you are here to relax' type way). The little quibbles you may see (earplugs good in front rooms) don't detract from what is possibly the best place to stay in Brighton (or, in fact, anywhere).
