Gem of a find for a special weekend in Brighton.
Amazing boutique hotel. Really central but not noisy. Delicious freshly cooked breakfast. incredibly attentive and kind hosts. Spotless room, with everything we needed - very comfy bed and spacious en suite. Also enjoyed the amazing modern art. Would highly recommend and intend to return.

We recently stayed at The Cavalaire for two nights Friday - Sunday. This was our first trip to Brighton. We really enjoyed our stay. Check in and check out was a breeze, friendly staff, cousy tidy rooms and wacky decor. Well filled coffee/ tea making facilities in the room was much appreciated, and complimentary water. Well situated with short walk to sea front. Walkable to all areas of Brighton we wanted to visit, restaurants, bars and train station. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend to friends and family.

We stayed one night on a Thursday night and had a lovely stay - Vesna and Jamal were very friendly. The room was spotless and very comfy and the breakfast was yummy - healthy (yoghurt with cinnamon and seeds!) and also a traditional cooked breakfast. We would love to stay here again

Excellent - would stay again
A warm welcome on arrival was a good starting point to a lovely stay at The Cavalaire. The room was clean and well-presented with tea, coffee and biscuits included. A short walk to everything in Brighton, including the beach at the bottom of the road.

I really liked the funky environment and beautiful artwork. The room, even though small, was very nicely decorated and the bathroom was beautifully renovated (but again, small for a tall person!). The bed was especially comfortable and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

2/10 Poor

Nice, clean hotel. Good amenities and staff very friendly and helpful. The standard double room is very small though and the bathroom hardly big enough to move in. Check-in was very bad, we turned up after 4pm and our room still wasn't ready, despite check-in being available from 2pm. The owners put this down to staffing issues, although shouldn't hotels have contingency plans for this sort of thing!? We were on a short timescale having to get to a show that evening and couldn't get into our room until nearly 5pm and so did not have a chance to freshen up for the evening. Even with this inconvenience the owners did not even offer us a drink of water and suggested that we go to the local pub and wait until the room was ready. They did however, not charge us for the parking permits as compensation. The breakfast room is also very small with only 4 tables for two people, so you cannot always have breakfast at the time you want, if too many other guests are having breakfast at the same time.

Amazing stay
Fantastic hotel and amazing hosts! The location is perfect, and the room was surprisingly quiet given it’s proximity to the seaside. Loved the art and uniqueness of the decorations, it added a touch of luxury and substantiated the essence of the city. The breakfast was delicious and the service was impeccable. The hosts went out of their way to help us with parking, which was very appreciated given the parking challenges that Brighton is facing even outside the season. A big thank you to our hosts for making our stay such a memorable experience! We will definitely be back! Nicky and Ana
