Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"Had an enjoyable break in Brighton and overall room was adequate for our needs." (107154461)
Fairly Central and near bus routes Also only 100 yards to the seafront Good breakfast.
Shower/Toilet extract fan inoperative Didnt seem to be a resident owner/manager on site Would like to have seen two chairs in the bedroom. (only one chair) Dining room too small to take all of the guests at one time and guests were going away and coming back later.

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"Food and service excellent but room much to be desired" (108061335)
Food was excellent. Gluten and wheat free diet requested and well catered for.
Room was not modern. Egyptian towels might have been luxury once. Bathroom not fitted out well-nowhere to put anything, no towel rail and very small sink. Curtains in room needed rehanging

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"I have absolutly no complaints to offer about my long weekend stay at this hotel. I would recomend it to anyone & I would return again for another stay." (97287820)
The management went out of their way to make my stay as enjoyable as they possibly could. Very polite, helpful & always available. EXAMPLE... Breakfast usually kicks off at 08:00Hrs. But they very kindly served my breakfast at 07:30Hrs for me so I could get to my seminar venue on time each morning. Even on Sunday! How cool is that? Oh! The breakfast itself is great too! Plenty of choice & plenty of it served up.
I had a problem controlling the water temperature in my shower. It was either way too hot or way too cold. The nights were warm during my stay, so as there was no air conditioning, I slept in a very comfortable bed with the window wide open. Brighton has 24 hour seagulls. I could hear them as I went to sleep & they were the first thing I heard when I woke up. My own home is on the south coast further down the S.W. Peninsular, so it did not bother me. But it might be problem to some.

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"A nice clean bed and breakfast, smallish room with cot in but adequate, although we couldnt get the pushchair downstairs through the corridor to our room and we had to leave it in the dining room. Nice breakfast and friendly service." (97731395)
Very clean and modern throughout
Couldnt get the pushchair down to our room as narrow hallway

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"Overall, this was good accommodation, but it wasn't everyone's idea of a hotel ....more like a large B&B. It has 6 rooms and a (small) dining room. The breakfast was good." (97386565)
It was comfortable and quite convenient.
We were in a 2nd floor room, so lots of stairs.

There was a package with our door key waiting for us on arrival. Our room had a nice view out to the sea. The breakfast was nice. We liked the location of the B&B, walkable into the centre and lots of nice shops on the walk in.
The bathroom needed a little modernisation as there was mould in the shower cubicle. Unfortunately there were workmen drilling outside on the street at 8.30am in the morning.

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"Overall I do not consider that this hotel offerred good value for money, the chaos when we arrived with one of our group having to wait outside the hotel until a guest arrived to allow him access (despite having phoned ahead to agree specific arrangements) along with the poor quality of the breakfast and the very small room it was served in undermined our enjoyment of the location and the pleasant rooms." (99339434)
The rooms were well appointed with unusual features that made a change from the all rooms the same stlye of so many hotels. The location was quiet (very important for a weekend in Brighton).
The breakfast was dissapointing with a number of choices unavailable and the breakfast room was very small resulting in a long wait for some guests.

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"as above. very pleasant stay, the only improvement would be to either have a provision for guest parking or email guests with locations and costs of nearby 24 hour parking lots." (99925134)
privacy, comfortable room - individual style, did not feel like a hotel but more like somebody's house. good location.
no parking facilities.

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"The hotel was lovely, you stepped outside the door and saw the sea! Great food, great rooms and I really liked the fact it was a keyless system so I had the freedom of coming and going as I please... The parking was also cheap outside the hotel and the shops on the doorstep." (99344188)
The location was brilliant, very private accommodation, nice friendly staff and great english breakfast!!!
Nothing - very happy.

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"The hotel had no staff presence during our stay. No one was there when we arrived to check in. We had to phone them and wait for nearly an hour for someone to arrive to give us a room key. There is a keycode entry system for guests, but if there was a problem no one was there to deal with it. We did not feel secure at night. I would not recommend this for female vistors. I would not class this as a hotel, but as very poor bed and breakfast accommodation. We asked for some form of discount for our inconvenience but were told the manager could not be contacted so we had to pay the full bill." (99406013)
The location was good.
No staff presence. Poor bathroom facilities.

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"We booked two en-suite rooms as we were travelling with a elderly relative when we arrived we discovered that one room was on the top floor and one in the basement separated by four flights of stairs or as i found out 60 steps. I would advise any one booking to make sure of the location of your rooms especially if travelling as a family." (3305167346)
Rooms were clean and spacious Staff were helpful and freindly

Lichfield House, Brighton - Reviews & Ratings"Even though the room was very good and we were pleased with our overal stay, we were disappointed at how far we were from the main town, this should be explained more thoroughly. It stated that the breakfast was worth getting up for. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Overal, we were very surprised that this was a 4 star hotel." (3305206020)
There was plenty of space in the room, very clean and lovely towels.
The breakfast was the worst I have ever had, undercooked and half of it was missing from the menu. They could not find our booking.

"A lovely hotel, which I would certainly want to stay in again." (107939824)
A delightful Regency building beautifully restored and tastefully furnished. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were delicious.
The checking-in process was odd; I was told (in advance) the combination number of the door-buzzer, so that I could let myself in at any time. The first time I saw any staff was at breakfast the morning after I arrived. That was fine, since the hotel is in an area full of restaurants and night-life, and my room had been immaculately prepared.
