An unforgettable stay at Red, Brighton, Blue B&B made my visit to Brighton exceptional! The charming ambiance, coupled with the warm hospitality of the staff, created an inviting atmosphere from the moment I arrived. The room was immaculate, kettle & coffee machine, snacks, mini fridge, bathroom full of amenities- all the good things that made my stay super enjoyable. Waking up to a short walk to the seaside each morning was a delightful treat, offering a special holiday, which made my stay incredible. The location couldn't have been more perfect, providing easy access to Brighton's attractions and the stunning beachfront. The attention to detail throughout the B&B, combined with the personalized service, truly elevated my experience. Kudos to the team at Red, Brighton, Blue for their dedication to ensuring guests have a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this gem of a B&B to anyone seeking a cozy, welcoming, and delightful stay in Brighton.

We were served a nice and tasty breakfast every day that includes a fresh bowl of fruits and a delicious homemade granola, which for me was a blessing. The bed is very comfortable and the room has all the nice amenities. Antony was very helpful with helping us find a location to park the car, getting our parking tickets and suggesting places to go in the city. Overall we just loved our stay and highly recommend.

    Charming, FRAGRANT (gentle Jo Malone diffusion in reception!), super-clean, well appointed and chic little boutique guest house. Absolutely first rate. Steve was delightful and super-knowledgeable and helpful as host. Room was gorgeous and well designed, with lovely, top-notch REN toiletries and DeLonghi tea and coffee-making facilities (chocolate and lovely biscuits a most welcome touch). Brilliant location, sea and excellent breakfast location at either end of the quiet, pretty road.

    Beautifully appointed flat in a fantastic location right opposite the sea and a short walk to town. All the rooms are beautifully designed with high quality fixtures and fittings. The beds were very comfortable with beautiful pillows and luxury bedding, we all slept really well. Gorgeous tiles, nice lighting and classy kitchen and bathrooms. Timely and thorough communication from hosts. The parking space is excellent and a real bonus in Brighton where parking is expensive.

    I absolutely loved the interior design and how everything felt perfectly in order made me feel at ease to how it was all put together and clean, also it was very easy to access a lot (e.g tv, kitchen, bathroom) I recommend it for couples as it has a dark romantic vibe to it that I adore, also the location is perfect it took only 5 mins to get to the beach and all that you need it was great! Thank you Suzie, what an amazing host you make! The perfect welcoming with a lovely smile, couldn’t ask for more.

    Always great to find a boutique hotel which offers that little bit of difference. Loved the concept of an artist designing each room. Ours did not let us down and had a great little balcony to sit and just enjoy the outlook and sunshine. Hotel had lots to offer the visitor or the business person. Breakfast was delicious. Staff brightened your day- you were lovely lovely! A place we’d come back to again and would thoroughly recommend!

We had our dog with us and they left dog bowls and a lovely rug for him to sleep on. The bar area in the Hotel is very smart and it has a lovely Courtyard with a balcony terrace.
