Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Old Palace Guest House is frequently praised for its amazing location, with the Brighton Pier reachable in just a 5-minute walk, and the town centre only 10-15 minutes away. Many guests appreciate the comfortable beds, and the rooms often come equipped with tea and coffee making facilities. Some guests have noted that the soundproofing could be better, particularly in the room near the entrance, but overall it is considered a great value for money.
