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

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!

We stayed at Colson House as we were attending a gig at Patterns. It was really close to the venue which was great. We had a couple of days to explore Brighton and it was lovely staying at Colson House. Everything was walkable from the hotel, we walked to the lanes, the pier and the train station easily. There were regular busses on the road that the hotel is on so it was really easy to get about. We had a problem with the tv in our room but someone came out really quickly and sorted it out. We had the room with a balcony which was lovely and spacious. There was a bit of noise from the road but that’s to be expected given the location. It was much quieter than I was expecting. There were loads of cafes and restaurants nearby - too many for us to try! Would definitely stay again.

Stayed at Colson House a few times this summer. It offers great value - large well presented double rooms, comfortable beds, small but clean bathrooms with decent showers. For a budget guesthouse it’s one of the better ones.

This was a really nice room with everything I needed, although a desk or table to be able to sit at properly would have been ideal. Bed was comfy, shower was lovely and hot. My only problem was that my room was located to the front door so was woken up at all hours by latecomers slamming the door, leading to what sounded like a party in the room above me at 2-3 in the morning. I can only presume that if there had been a member of staff on site this would have not been allowed to have happened but as the hotel is unmanned anything apparently goes.
