INNit Hotel - Marina House

Staff were friendly and let us leave our bags on checkout day. It’s a good location, about a 20-minute walk to most bars and shops. The room was clean and comfortable, with the basics like coffee, tea, towels, and soap. We were pleased with it, and getting in and out using the entry codes and key box was easy.

The room suited us really well. Room 2 has a full kitchen, which we only used for the kettle and fridge, but it gave us more room to move and made the bedroom feel separate. The location was great, and Dania and her team helped us choose the right property and room from their seven Brighton options. They also arranged the on-street parking permits we needed, for an additional charge. We had a small maintenance problem caused by the previous guests and asked for housekeeping once. Housekeeping is on demand, so there’s no worry about someone knocking at an inconvenient time to change towels. The reception team was only a text away, or reachable by phone, and handled both things quickly. Housekeeping arrived within three minutes of my text. Everyone we dealt with, in person or by message, was friendly and professional.

The room was small, but it did the job and had everything we needed. It was clean and tidy when we arrived, the heating and TV worked well, and the bed was really comfortable. I felt safe there despite the odd bedroom door lock, and I’d probably stay again. The view was nothing special, which didn’t bother me. We were there in winter, and a cold breeze came through the windows because they didn’t close with a proper seal. Check-in and checkout without a person felt a bit strange. We didn’t speak with staff during our stay, but they sent detailed instructions before we arrived.

They were great when I needed to make a last-minute change, and the instructions for getting in and out were easy to follow. The room had lots of character and a very comfortable bed, plus a fridge and tea and coffee facilities. Parking at Buzz Bingo was an easy five-minute walk away. It’s well placed for Kemptown coffee shops and characterful pubs, with an easy walk along the seafront to the beach and the lanes. I’d definitely book again.
