The Gather Inn

“A bit shabby”

The location worked out because we were in Brighton for a concert and most hotels were booked due to the political party happening at that time. The hotel itself is really dated, the hallway carpet is filthy. The rooms are adequate in size, but in two of the rooms we booked the bed has the radiator right behind it as the headboard, which isn’t great; the curtains don’t close completely and being on the main road, car lights kept everyone awake. In the top‑floor room there were squashed bugs on the walls—easily washed off with a wet tissue, so maybe the cleaners could address that. The sheets don’t fit, so they’re all wrinkly, and the pillows feel like they’ve been washed because they’re all lumpy. There are also signs of repair work on the walls in each room—filled and sanded but not repainted. You advertise a restaurant on site, but it’s only open Friday to Sunday, so that could be clarified. Overall, a bit shabby and not worth the money we paid.

The place offered good value for money, and the staff were very helpful and friendly, but unfortunately there is no private parking.

“Had the staff not been so fantastic we would have left”

The staff were exceptional—engaging, helpful, friendly and personable—and the location was good; we enjoyed the sea view and the room was clean, yet there was a hole in the duvet cover, the basin was cracked, and we were sorry to find a mouse in the dining room.

“Great location and friendly staff”

The location was convenient with easy access to Brighton, though the road was a bit noisy and that’s beyond their control; the staff were really friendly and helpful, and having a bar was a bonus, but the decor felt a bit dated and there were no meals available at that time, though that may not be typical.
