About this property

Welcome to Brighton Black Hotel & Hot Tubs

Brighton Black Hotel & Hot Tubs is a low-rated accommodation located at 75 Charlotte St, in the vibrant Kemptown area of Brighton and Hove. The neighbourhood is known for its lively LGBT scene, offering a variety of cool bars, cafes, the Brighton Flea Market, and the Marlborough Theatre, making it appealing for visitors seeking a dynamic and buzzing atmosphere.

The property offers straightforward facilities, with check-in from 15:00. Guest reviews reveal mixed experiences; some find the check-in process confusing due to communication delays, while others appreciate the cleanliness and basic in-room amenities such as a kettle and tea supplies. The overall guest satisfaction appears divided, reflecting its modest rating of 1.3 from 85 reviews.

Situated close to several popular Brighton attractions, guests can explore the historic Royal Pavilion, enjoy the fairground rides and sea views at Brighton Palace Pier, or take in panoramic scenes from the Brighton i360 observation pod. The location also provides relatively easy access to major airports like Gatwick and Heathrow via car or public transit.

This property may suit travelers prioritizing location in the Kemptown area and those comfortable with a no-frills stay.

Umm, despite reviewz suggesting a very poor hotel I was more than pleasantly suprised by this incredible hotel. There is a kettle, mugs, tea, coffee and 3 toilet rolls. Yes the check in was strange and Confising but so is life. And life is also beautiful. Ignore the haters and the 2 star reviewers this place is great. Adam and Paul
