    Room was nicely designed. Had the best sleep. Bathroom was big and shower was lovely. Breakfast was really nice, with a good vegan and veggie options. Location was perfect for us. A bit of a walk into the centre but when you factor in the walk along the sea front you can’t really complain. The bar and snacks were also really good. A great selection of beers on tap.

    Super stylish little boutique hotel with lovely staff and all the facilities you need. We booked the Blanch in order to enjoy a concert at the Dome and it was great to be able to walk to and from the venue and to enjoy a nightcap upon return to the hotel in their cosy bar. Would recommend to anyone looking for a base in Brighton.
