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!

Location close to the beach. Wonderful staff. Hot water was hot and came quickly.
If you are into shabby chic this is the place for you. The architect deserves an award for putting rooms into the smallest of places. Overpriced.

Lovely room, nice view for the second night I was really impressed with the architecture and rhe interior design. The staff had an easy going but professionally accountable attitude.
I think they encourage you to make the beat put ofnyour stay.im.very glad that I chose this residence for my short stay it was a good help to me and a little of what I needed to relax and to have a break.the staff were friendly and although quintessentially English they were welcoming g to all nations as I am not quintessentially English but from the UK.
I also thought that their breakfasts were very good.top I would aay having an open kitchen for ervjce was a really good part of the design of the downstairs.the garden was good too the court yard atvthe back.
Thank-you there are rooms rhat are ideal for hen parties to Brighton as well.
Many thanks to the really understanding staff o. Call during the time.
Not too much that I didn't like.it all seemed quite good but the wi fi that I have on my own phone the signal didn't reach tithe first room that I was staying in there was no signal.
But apart from that a lovely place to stay beautiful surroundings on my second night the room yhebat I had was just perfect for me ,and my needs thank you again " thr artists reaidence".

Great interior design
I don’t like false advertising- the marketing said there was parking - that is a lie, there is no parking included, I had to pay £30 to park close by -
The room we were given had a water leak so we were moved to a smaller room with no wardrobe
The room had every type of tea, coffee pods, lots of alcoholic beverages we could be charged but no milk to make a cup of tea - the staff had left so why even bother putting tea, coffee sugar, biscuits etc in a room but no milk???
Sorry but it was an expensive hotel, but the basics that I could get at a 2 star hotel were missing.
Not happy at all.
False advertising and poor attention to detail
