Paskins Town House

A really comfortable room beautifully decorated with a modern bathroom and free bottled water. Close to the centre but far enough away to have a quiet night's sleep. Very good value. I will definitely be back. A stone's throw away from the sea.

A great little place, not far from the hustle n bustle but quiet enough to have a great night sleep. A little qwerky too. People lovely and friendly. Comfortable laid back. Although didn’t need parking they are able to accommodate with parking vouchers |Would definitely go back

Nice, clean comfy room. Good value for money. Great location to explore the city, just 250 yards from the beach and FIKA abr, room was a bit warm. staff was also very friendly, bed is soft, if you like a harder bed you might struggle. Showers very clean.

Took 100% deposit without asking (£190) & not 50% as advertised. Several minutes before front door answered, but owner was polite & friendly. Nobody on reception later or next day, though that was explained as they live in a flat on the premises & would answer the bell if needed. Tiny room & bathroom (don't know if any others as cramped), with shelf in the latter hanging loose so unusable. Shower had very low flow & poor temperature control. Decor was tired, eg. flaking paint & frayed carpet. Bedside tables were wobbly, so wary of placing hot drinks on them. No toilet rolls nor tea & coffee replenished when bed was made. Sleep was much disturbed by hard mattress and frequent noise from gulls & pigeon, other guests on the stairs, and someone shouting on the phone for a while. Only positive is location near seafront and St James's Street with cafés, shops, etc. Helpful discount (15%) at Meo, which does great breakfasts. Able to park on residential street five minutes away with £15 voucher per day that presumably costs about the same or less than a multi-story car park.

Lady who checked us in was very friendly, but there was no one there at any other time we went past and you checked yourself out by leaving the key at the desk. Quirky reception area Parking on the street can be hit and miss as the road has quite a few B&Bs in it. Paying £15 / 24 hrs didn't mean you had a guaranteed car park nearby.

We had a lovely stay at Paskins Town House! The staff were bubbly and attentive and kindly gave us an upgrade for our anniversary. The bed was very comfy although the room needed a few touch ups. The hotel is nicely located with close proximity to the beach. Overall I recommend!

Well presented and easy to find. Great location to walk into town but parking can be hard to find in the area. We arranged to arrive very late and all keys and parking pass left at reception. Parking for residents pass a little more expensive here than at other places -£15 vs £8. Room itself was a bit overbearing and very busy wallpaper, but was good art deco, and we had seen photos before. The immediate impression was a very warm and stuffy room, no air movement at all and you need to open a huge window to get any flow through, which then lets in all the noises of the roads on a fairly busy street in morning. Luckily a fan is supplied ( but knob missing so only oscillates and not able to fix on the bed.) Bed was very clean and I thought comfortable, the main part of a good nights sleep. Bathroom, no towels supplied except small hand towel. No soap in basin, no shower gel in shower. This was not good. Note left on reception to ask for towels and soap, ignored. Texted in morning to ask, message read but ignored. Very disappointed. Overall feeling of a hot stuffy place that was once good but now a bit forgotten, so can not recommend but am sure others had a good stay.

After a long drive to Brighton, Charlotte was warm and welcoming; she thoroughly explained the parking process and provided us with our license. The room was clean, quirky and thoughtfully designed. We were a short walk away from the hustle and bustle where we had a fantastic night. When we got back, we entered via code and had a comfortable relaxed night, knowing that our super hosts were on hand should there be an issue. Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Brighton.

Wow! I just spend a fantastic four days in Brighton and my stay at Paskins was a big part of the enjoyment. The staff were really really friendly and welcoming, the rooms were cosy, nicely decorated and the service just full of little touches that beat the big hotel chains hands down. I had a top floor double room, with a shared bathroom. The room itself had an indian theme to it, with lovely carved wooden coat hangers and patchwork bed throw. The room was cosy and clean, with, for me, the all important selection of coffee and teas, as well as a couple of fresh apples left every day (russets, my favourite!). The bathroom was again super clean and new, so any worries about sharing one were soon banished. The mega highlight was the breakfast. As well as the usual fry up (local produce, organic and free range), there was a great selection of original options. I opted for scrambled eggs with anchovies on wholegrain toast on my first morning, I wasn't disappointed, the salty little fish giving a really great contrast in flavour to the velvety (sooooo smooth, there must have been some kind of alchemy going on in the kitchen to make them that good) scrambled eggs. Every day, I also opted for the toast, with home made marmalade which was just fantastic with coffee. I also got to sample the bagels with schmeer (cream cheese and jam), fresh, huge and mouth-wateringly good, and the rarebit (spiced and complex, really good flavours). There was also a great little muesli/fruit/yoghurt buffet with a really fantastic, christmassy spiced fig and prune topping which I'll be trying to emulate at home. My only regret is I didn't try the porridge (with ice cold shot of whiskey!). Paskins is set near the front, in Kemptown, which is vibrant and has a great selection of restaurants, bars, pubs and shops. I managed to get along to the Black Dove (3 mins away) and the Hand in Hand (2 mins) and had a great night in both. I really loved my stay, I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Brighton. Amazing :D
