We just got home having spent five days here. Firstly, the location is great with the pier a five minute stroll. But that's not important. Stephen and Peter are great hosts. We were comfortable from the start and they were so attentive. They gave great recommendations for places to eat nearby and although breakfast isn't option, the hotel has a number of places that give discounts to residents. Parking is on street and possibly not generous but Stephen and Peter are able to assist with permits at what I consider to be very reasonable. I had to be elsewhere for two days and they made a point of making sure my partner could call on them for any reason at any time. The property is stunning. Decorated to a very high and classy standard. We were upgraded to a great sized and beautifully appointed room and bathroom including two wireless chargers. There is a tiny but lovely courtyard full of plants and flowers where smoking is permitted. We sat for an hour with a glass of wine. We felt we weren't staying at an hotel but a friend's home and we were quite sad to leave. In future, if we're in Brighton, this is where we are staying.

Our stay at Red Brighton Blue was outstanding. The room was thoughtfully designed and very comfortable. The location is great, within easy walking distance to the water front, pier, and a wide variety of excellent bars, restaurants, and shopping in The Lanes. We highly recommend RBB!

What a great location & service! A few blocks from the beach and surrounded by excellent restaurants, coffee shops, and other services within an easy walk of the best parts of Brighton. Our host (Steve) was very accommodating and full of suggestions for points of interest and places to eat. While the rooms are smaller, there was ample room for our few night stay and the stairs were good for our older legs. Last but not least, I must mention how tidy our room was kept and that all the amenities offered were great. Should we ever return to Brighton, we will be returning to the Red Brighton Blue.

Check in was quick and easy, Peter was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The single room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with everything you need and a few nice extras besides. The hotel is right by the sea front and the area is very quiet and safe. An easy walk into town. I met Steve at check out, and he was equally lovely. I have rarely slept so well in a hotel room; would definitely stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Really easy and friendly check in by Steve. Room was very warm, quiet and had all the amenities you would need - including a little chocolate bar. The room had an Alexa device too for alarms and music. Great stay. You're also a stone's throw from the sea, which you can see from some rooms windows. Room 11 you could. Thanks!
