The Twenty One — Hotel in Great Britain

This B&B is listed by many sites as the best place to stay in Brighton. After our visit, I don’t doubt it’s true. Not having a car, my first impression was that it’s far from anywhere I’d want to be except the beach. Note: the beach is all rocks. It was an easy 20-minute walk from the train station, about 15 minutes to the pier and slightly longer to the Marina. There are buses that can take you everywhere and it’s convenient to bus stops. On the walk from the train we passed a slightly unattractive section of Brighton, the Laines, the Royal Pavilion, and some charming structures. As per reviews we had read, we booked the best room. It was about 40 steps up to the top floor with a king bed and a water view if you looked to your right when at the window. I liked that they had blackout curtains and blinds. The clean room also included plenty of charging ports (including USB), 2 large soft bath towels, delicious cupcakes, cookies, bottles of water a tea kettle, a refrigerator, a tv, an iPad, and a good blow dryer. In the small bathroom, there were gym style containers of conditioner, shampoo, moisturizer, and one liquid soap (for both shower and sink). Towels are replaced every 2 days, more often if requested. The friendly and helpful owner will make either a full English breakfast or one without meat, plus juice and tea. The same each morning the 2 days we were there. Here’s some of the downside, no deal breakers: No heat our first night and i couldn't reach the owner, but the next night she provided an excellent portable heater; No washcloths and no bar soap; Mattress too firm (for me, not for my companion) and squeaky bed frame; The kettle had either scale or old milk inside, so we didn't use it; The carpet looked like it was regularly vacuumed, but had some stains and could use a cleaning; Other than some cobwebs on the ceiling above the bed – the establishment seemed very clean. The owner's recommendations for dinner...

A really memorable stay for a night and as soon as we left we wished we had booked a little longer. |Great location, and very easy to find - close to the coast, Laines, shops, restaurants (but also not in the centre of bustle).|Greeted by Telly (the one of the hosts), who was very helpful in giving an overview of vegan and vegetarian restaurants in the area. We extremely friendly and very simple check in. We were offered the options for breakfast with flexibility for dietary/ preferences (breakfast - taste, portion and presentation surpassed expectations!).|The room we booked was very comfortable, clean and exceeded the basics with little details which added a personal touch. Good sized en-suite which was very clean with toiletries provided and a in-keeping claw foot bath. For a period property, the space has been well-thought out, and felt very calming after the journey. |The design of the interior is stunning, and we did have to take a little time to take in the front room/ breakfast space. The hosts, design and experience immediately set The Twenty One above many other places tried in Brighton over the years. Thank you to the hosts (Suzy, Telly) for a memorable stay and the chats with us - hope to be...

I don’t usually write reviews, but feel this b&b deserves one! We stayed here the night before last as we were going to a gig at Concorde 2, and the location was perfect. We were met with a very warm and friendly welcome from the owner, and shown up to our room. We stayed in room 3, which was beautifully decorated, and very nice and clean. The bed was very comfy, and I found it quieter than any hotel I’ve stayed in. Breakfast was delicious, and the owner went above and beyond to provide a range of gluten free options for me, including crumpets and bread, and the sausages are gluten free as well. Overall we had a wonderful experience staying here, and we will definitely be back. It was great value for money, and we would highly recommend for anyone who wants a lovely, friendly, and peaceful place to stay, in a ...
