Paskins Town House

Something of a last minute booking to meet up with a friend for festive drinks. A classic guest house with a typically Brighton twist by way of decor. Great stuff! ||Super relaxed and friendly check in (sorry-cant recall the ladies name!) and she even tolerated and my daft mate who was faffing about whether to book a room or not. Super service. ||I had a single room which was clean, comfortable and with the art deco twist continued. Great bathroom. All warm and cosy after a winters night out. Will be back!

Fantastic - this was just what we were looking for, a laid-back, friendly, Bohemian hotel in the heart of Kemp Town. We were allocated a lovely ground floor room which my partner, who is disabled, found very accessible. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Stayed here for a weekend break. Was met by Charlotte who was absolutely amazing, checked in our room which was absolutely stunning very clean and everything you needed. |Great location, we will definitely be heading back for another break soon|Thank you for having us - Kieran and Cheryl

Recently I've spent two evenings at the beautiful Paskins Town House and stayed in two different rooms. Firstly, the simple bit. The place is tucked away in a Kemptown side street so is fairly quiet (as quiet as Kemptown can be) but close enough for short walks to the beach, to St James Street and to Brighton city centre. Staff have been very calm, easy to deal with and no trouble at all. To the point I find the negative reviews of them quite strange. The Paskins is decorated with loads of weird and wonderful items and decorated in a similar quirky manner. Personally, I find that really fun and although I live in the city it must feel "very Brighton" for people staying from other places in the country or from abroad. The rooms are a decent size, clean, fun and cosy. Room 8 you can connect to the TV and play YouTube or whatever, which is cool if you want to watch Prince's Sign of the Times Tour while you're getting ready to go to sleep. Sadly no such joy in Room 9. There is a heater in there, a fan and the windows open. The windows have this weird sticker on that says something about pigeons trying to sneak in but I didn't experience that at all even though I was hoping I might have a little visitor or two for a sort of Snow White type experience, which would have been kind of funny. Maybe next time I'll take some bird seed. I found the room really comfortable and there wasn't too much noise that I noticed from any other rooms, other people seemed to be really respectful which was really sweet. I had a very cosy and satiated sleep there on both occasions. I particularly enjoyed the quality and softness of the pillows, I've included a photo of their unique squishiness and how much we were enjoying them. Don't worry, it's probably just posed for a joke. I'd definitely stay there again, hopefully I will soon enough. Wonderful place and the proximity can't really be faulted. It's so easy to nip out, get up to whatever mischief takes you fancy and nip back for a beautiful snooze. There's plenty of places for late night snacks and drinks and whatnot, my personal favourites are tangfastics and squashies with a strawberry water. Feel free to copy that order to replicate my experience.

Stayed here for a birthday weekend for my husband, cute little guest house, could do with a little tlc but customer service was very good, couple of little issues around the heating and hot water, called reception, heating sorted straight away, shower was sorted for next morning, was Luke warm first morning, we were offered a new room but as only here for 2 nights we declined but shower lovely and hot this morning, if we came again we would ask for a lower floor room, not too close to the hussle and bustle of the town, which suited us, 3 stops on the bus or a 15 min walk into town.|If the customer service hadn't been so great, we may have had a different review entirely

Pros: great location, minutes from the beach. Decent room size. Friendly receptionist. Cons: off street parking only, costs over £20 per day and finding a space near the hotel is purely based on luck.

Never been to a place that the staff were so lovely, we arrived at 10 am and they were not there, so they came just to collect our bags to storage it. The room was fine and clean. the WiFi works perfectly. The only thing that they need new is a head shower in the room that we stayed, unfortunately the shower was a bit disappointing, but it doesn’t change the 5 stars review ❤️

10 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes walk to shops, bars and restaurants. It is the perfect place to stay if you want to spend the day at the beach at the evening at a restaurant/pub. The staff were lovely and couldn’t be more helpful, I would happily stay again.

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
