Fodor's "With a casual elegance that typifies Brighton, this Regency-era boutique hotel sits close to the seafront. Rooms are cleverly fitted into the old building, so some have slanted ceilings..." Full review

The cool bar downstairs is popular with young locals and can get quite loud, so ask for a room well away from it if you're a light sleeper.
Lonely Planet "Stylishly decorated in luscious plums and teals, this renovated nine-room boho hotel has aromatherapy lights, spa baths in its superior rooms and organic breakfasts."
The Telegraph8.0
"This stylish boutique bolthole, set in a tall creamy Regency townhouse, is a stroll up from the seafront Peace statue and ideally situated for easy access to the city’s main attractions." Full review
Independent "The Oriental is an altogether quieter, less sticky establishment, yet still with kooky charm. Expect lashings of visual drama: wacky paintings and plum colour notes mixing with covetable vintage finds"
Independent "In a well-kept Regency townhouse, Oriental Guest House is neither big nor flashy, but it’s relatively peaceful and has the personal service to go with it"
