Many appreciate the characterful Victorian building with local art and a pleasant garden. Parking is on street via permits and there is no lift, which some found inconvenient, and a few comments mention small rooms, dated decor, or minor maintenance issues. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a relaxed stay with realistic expectations.

My bed was comfy and room was serviced everyday throughout my six day stay. The front door of the building is locked all the time so one has to always carry the key. The general area and my room were full of oil and watercolor paintings for sale which adds a warm touch to the overall feel of the hotel. I love the light breakfast everyday with a smoked salmon and scrambled tofu and a cup of peppermint tea. The staff wwere friendly. The bathroom was super clean and the soap and lotion was ok at the best. The Claremont is on a quite street at least during the weekdays and half a block from the beach. Seagulls make noise and there are a couple of nice restaurants and bars on the street. I have seen a squirrel in the garden once and there is a nice atomic wall clock in the drawing room.

The luxury you experience in this place cannot be found even in a 5-star hotel. It was a very quiet place, a haven of freedom. It felt like home. The garden was amazing.

There is nothing to share other than it is not anywhere near 5 Star just a Bed and breakfast nothing special . Parking terrible but the Claremont will give you a zone parking ticket for 24 hrs. Stairs up and down bit tough on over 75’s .

The Hotel was in a good location but further from the town of Brighton then we were led to believe. Check in was ok, on street parking was good and reasonably priced. The room was up 4 flights of stairs no lift not ideal . The room was adequate,dated and lacked modern facilities, tea coffee etc was available but not topped up on the second night so unable to have a morning drink. And on to the most Disappointing Breakfast very poor quality certainly not what I would of expected from a so called 5 star breakfast ( barely 2 star in my mind) This did put a massive downer on our weekend. Probably the most disappointing place I’ve stayed in and certainly very expensive for what we got,

The Claremont, it's history, interior design that tastefully combined it's cultural heritage with local artists work adorning the walls made for a unique and pleasant experience. Ideal location in Hove. The breakfast was delicious and staff friendly. The only downside was my room was on top floor requiring me, aged 74 who requires a walking stick to mobilise to climb 4 flights of stairs. I would have upgraded to a lower floor had I known.

This hotel is well located and fairly tidy, but a few little things let it down. Worst being that I filtered hotels with parking included. When I arrived I was disappointed to discover that the hotel didn’t have parking. I had to find a space on the very busy street and pay a parking charge for it. Windows looked like they had never been cleaned. Bathroom was very cramped and had one shelf that was above the toilet. Be very careful with that.

Claremont is a Victorian building dating from 1880. There are some sighs of age. A lick of paint or a clean up would make a world of difference. Often just a small mark on the paintwork lets the property down.

Clean, airy and spacious room, but a bit chilly during the day as no heating until evening. Well placed for seafront and a plethora of restaurants offering food from around the world. Hotel boasts a ‘five star breakfast’ but we found this was disappointing with little choice of cereal, no yoghurts or pastries, very limited toast and somewhat patchy service if you wanted more of something.

Convenient for us to walk to County Cricket ground to support Somerset and into Brighton. Good all round experience, though we felt breakfast let it down a little. Not as expected especially as it was "Award Winning". Only one flavour of juice on offer, pastries had to be asked for and our cooked food, on the first morning, was not very hot. Second day, slightly better. Staff attentive and very pleasant.

The general area and my room were full of oil and watercolor paintings for sale which adds a warm touch to the overall feel of the hotel. I love the light breakfast everyday with a smoked salmon and scrambled tofu and a cup of peppermint tea. The staff wwere friendly. The bathroom was super clean and the soap and lotion was ok at the best. The Claremont is on a quite street at least during the weekdays and half a block from the beach. Seagulls make noise and there are a couple of nice restaurants and bars on the street. I have seen a squirrel in the garden once and there is a nice atomic wall clock in the drawing room.

The Hotel was in a good location but further from the town of Brighton then we were led to believe. Check in was ok, on street parking was good and reasonably priced. The room was up 4 flights of stairs no lift not ideal . The room was adequate,dated and lacked modern facilities, tea coffee etc was available but not topped up on the second night so unable to have a morning drink. And on to the most Disappointing Breakfast very poor quality certainly not what I would of expected from a so called 5 star breakfast ( barely 2 star in my mind) This did put a massive downer on our weekend. Probably the most disappointing place I’ve stayed in and certainly very expensive for what we got,

This hotel is well located and fairly tidy, but a few little things let it down. Worst being that I filtered hotels with parking included. When I arrived I was disappointed to discover that the hotel didn’t have parking. I had to find a space on the very busy street and pay a parking charge for it. Windows looked like they had never been cleaned. Bathroom was very cramped and had one shelf that was above the toilet. Be very careful with that.

Convenient for us to walk to County Cricket ground to support Somerset and into Brighton. Good all round experience, though we felt breakfast let it down a little. Not as expected especially as it was "Award Winning". Only one flavour of juice on offer, pastries had to be asked for and our cooked food, on the first morning, was not very hot. Second day, slightly better. Staff attentive and very pleasant.

Clean, airy and spacious room, but a bit chilly during the day as no heating until evening. Well placed for seafront and a plethora of restaurants offering food from around the world. Hotel boasts a ‘five star breakfast’ but we found this was disappointing with little choice of cereal, no yoghurts or pastries, very limited toast and somewhat patchy service if you wanted more of something.

Great position. Lovely room but could be better appointed. Breakfast was advertised as 5 star but more like 3 star. Thought it was expensive for a bed and breakfast.

This is a lovely old building in a fantastic location in Hove. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately the building is very tired, bathrooms dated, the shower over the bath just didn’t work. I don’t think the cost justifies the condition of the building. We also had quite a bit of noise from the pub behind at night, but this is understandable with its location and period windows, but do note. Parking is dead easy on the street and staff helpful filling out tickets which can be bought at the hotel.
