My husband & I visited Brighton to celebrate our birthdays over the May Day bank holiday & weren't disappointed in our stay at The Amherst! From the warm welcome we received when we arrived, to the lovely sea view junior suite, to the delicious breakfast there is nothing that we could fault! Lee & Marc were so friendly & welcoming...

We stayed at the Amherst for 2 nights over a weekend in January 2013 to celebrate my Husband's birthday with a break away from our 2 young kids to our favourite town. The owners were welcoming without being overbearing, and were very helpful and friendly. We stayed in one of the large/luxury rooms with a kingsize bed and full sized... More

Really enjoyed our two night stay at the Amherst. We were made to feel very welcome. It's in a great location to walk into town, and the owners were happy to call us taxis in the evening. Our room was lovely too, fresh and well decorated. Breakfast was great with very good service. Altogether a great stay and I'd definitely... More

The Amherst is a lovely little townhouse converted into a charming B&B in a great location, our room was surprisingly large with a comfortable bed and roomy en-suite. Little extras you wouldn't ordinarily get in a B&B were available - snacks, toiletries, a decent hair dryer, mini bar, ear plugs (nice touch!). Lee & Marc couldn't have been more helpful... More

My wife and I recently stayed at the Amherst on the May Bank Holiday weekend. After a nightmare journey of almost ten hours to get there (lorry fire on M42!) we were understandably a bit weary and disappointed that we had wasted a day on the motorway, but the friendly greeting upon arrival turned that around straight away. Marcus and... More

Been before and will definitely visit again. The rooms are lovely and extremely comfortable, the location is close to just about everything and the welcome from Marcus and Lee is second to none. Being a bit fan of the full English breakfast, I must comment on how super the breakfast was and in particular those fabulous sausages. Like Arnie said...."I'll... More

There are plenty of good things to say about this B&B; comfy bed, etc., but since these things have already been said in other reviews, I'll stick to the headlines. We paid £140 for a junior suite plus parking and we felt that this was too expensive for what we got. Our room, number 7, was very noisy, until the... More

Firstly thank you for your review and critical feedback. Secondly just a few facts that you misinformed us about. 1. Room rate was in fact £130.00 for a Junior Suite and £10.00 for 24 hour parking. Not as you stated £140.00 plus parking. 2. You did not book through Laterooms.com you did indeed ring us the night before and booked... More

The Amherst hotel is in a perfect location. Our room was lovely and very comfortable. Lee and Marcus made us feel extremely welcome and were very informative from the moment we arrived. We would recommend the full English breakfast to anyone! Will definitely be returning to the Amherst hotel on our next trip to Brighton.
