A very pleasant stay even though it was very hot in Eton. The fan was most appreciated. We had a delicious breakfast. There were many choices on the menu.

Room disappointing but great location.
Colson House is ideally situated for exploring Brighton. Entry is by keypad code which worked well. The staff we met were friendly. The room, however was noisy - it overlooked a busy road and the windows were old allowing noise to penetrate. The bed was far too soft for me and I didn't get good night sleeps, but this is a personal preference. We were pleased to have purchased parking permits for the 3 days we were there. Parking is at a premium and the permit allows you to park anywhere in Zone C, not necessarily directly outside the guest house. We were lucky to find a space in a nearby road.

Property convenient for an overnight stay. Room comfortable and lovely clean bedding and towels. Space compact but adequate. The tea making facility and use of a fridge was appreciated. Overall a pleasant stay.

Spent 1 night at Colson House.
Room 7 (single en-suite - top floor) - it was clean / cosy / the mattress was so comfortable I slept like a baby / was very quiet.
I really enjoyed my stay there and will definitely book again

Good basic accommodation in an ideal location
Self check-in was easy with clear instructions. The room was good overall. Decent bed, though something underneath clunked every time I got up from it. Condition of the room is somewhat worn, clear signs of wear and tear. Bathroom and shower OK. The room had everything I needed - and some nice extras - for a basic 1-night stay. Great value for money in a fantastic location for Brighton, and the surrounding area was quiet at night. Would happily stay here again.

A lovely little place. Easy to access and close to the water. The only thing that was inconvenient was the parking. The suggested parking is a bit of a walk especially when you’re carrying luggage. I would recommend to drop the bags off first before parking or organise the parking permit. Other than that, it was a lovely stay.

Lovely property and the room we had on the 3rd floor was very big, clean and quiet. From the guest house to the pier is walkable only about a 10mins walk and plenty of shops around to grab snacks

I have stayed here a few times and have always found it to be clean and pleasant. Despite being an unmanned property I felt safe and always received check-in information timely. There was tea, coffee, hot chocolate which was refilled on the morning

Nothing to dislike, Convenient for my stay, clean and comfortable. Keyless entry to house and bedroom was useful, no prolonged checking in, but also no interaction with local staff or owners.

Comfortable stay after night out
Well decorated, gorgeous 4 poster bed, we had everything we needed. Good location for walking to centre and cafes and pubs even closer, seafront also.

Great hotel
We received emails prior to getting to the hotel which was great.
We entered the property and had sweets Ona rival which was lovely, we entered the room no problem and once inside we were pleasantly surprised with the room and bathroom. Lovely guesthouse and would definitely recommend and will be visiting again when in town - 5 stars!
