Good points, flight delayed so late check in via codes was great. Let us have late check out because we were in Emergency department of hospital all night of our second night stay. Gave us a downstairs room on request because explained managing stairs with cases difficult but room had very steep stairs to bathroom which were difficult to manage before accident and impossible after accident. Good position close to everything.

Excellent property. Very clean, good facilities. The shower was very weak though more like a dribble than an actual shower. Apart from that, cant fault it. We will be back

One night stay
Comfortable convenient place to stay…..very clean, nice shower, comfortable bed…(single room). The tv didn’t work (no signal ?) but not important as I had my I-pad to watch tv and the WiFi was good. Central to Kemptown amenities…..

Comfortable and priced perfectly
Comfortable and my solo room was perfect for one person. Stayed a week and didn't want to spend too much time in my room, but this was perfect walking distance to come and go, get food right around the corner, and great bus access. Was a bit surprised at the private bathroom setup being added in to what used to be a closet, but the thriftiness of the idea made it charming and impressive. Staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. Special note: IF YOU BOOK THROUGH HOTELS.COM, you will need to call the hotel and provide them your email for the right check in instructions if you don't receive an email directly from them.

The room was fine and we were impressed that we got service on day two without requesting it. We were not really prepared to have no staff on site. It would have been good to be able to leave bags on the last day as our train to Gatwick was late in the day.

Value for money
I stayed on a Tuesday night in the single room on the top floor. It was basic but good value for money. The bed was comfortable, room was quiet, tea and coffee facilities, and codes on doors so no keys needed. Check in and out is remote, which means arrival time wasn't an issue. The only thing that would have made it better is a hot shower, it was lukewarm and ok for a quick wash. Tap had hot water, so maybe there was a nack to getting the hot water going that I didn't figure out. Would definitely stay here again.
