Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests appreciate the Bow Street Runner's cute, English, and homey feel, with a private entrance separate from the downstairs pub. The location is ideal for many, being near the seafront, Hove restaurants, and within walking distance of Brighton railway station, although some have noted the walk to the city centre can feel a bit long. A lovely continental breakfast is often provided in the room, including fresh pastries, fruit, cereals, and a selection of drinks; some guests have found the staircase to be quite steep and narrow.

charming getaway

quiet street fresh fruit friendly staff
I appreciated the pubs location on a quiet street close to restaurants. A fresh fruit added to the continental breakfast, it was like a special touch. Staff was friendly and very accommodating to all my requests. The location was just perfect, a short walk from the seafront.
The staircase WAS steep, making carrying luggage a little challenging.
