Guest Reviews
- Amanda (9/5): Terrific location. Great stay. Would definitely book again! - The locaction is fantastic. We walked everywhere. The view is fabulous. The apartment, particularly the tiny kitchen, is really well equipped. Angie and Trevor have thought of everything. They communicated with us well and they were very helpful when it appeared that our flight was going to be cancelled. Don't be put off by the area around the entry to the building which isn't particularly inviting - the apartment is fabulous. We really enjoyed our 4 night stay.
- Thomas (10/5): Wir empfehlen dieses Appartment. - Lage sehr zentral und trotzdem ruhig. Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber (Trevor).
- Angelika (7/5): - Lage direkt am Meer, Meerblick, schöne Ausstattung Es war leider im Mai sehr kalt und im gesamten Gebäude war die Heizung abgestellt.
- Emily Winter (10/5): - Super location, could open the windows for a lovely breeze during the heat wave. Exceeded expectations, they also give you everything you need (washing up liquid etc), which is not always true for a self catered place! Will be staying here again if we're back in Brighton.
- Paul (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend. - Fantastic location to explore Brighton & Hove. Very comfortable and nicely decorated in keeping with the art deco style of the building. The host met us to hand over keys and brief us. Well equipped kitchen. Comprehensive folder about the flat and surrounding area. Nice touches like milk, tea, coffee and biscuits left for us. Getting the temperature right on the shower was a bit tricky - but there was a note about the knack in the notes at the house.
We found it difficult to get live TV/Freeview to work but iPlayer, etc worked fine.
- Peter (9/5): - Great location, surprisingly quiet given how central it was
Very compact but with lots of nice touches and very clean and tidy. I went on marathon weekend so the price was inflated quite a lot, but not a lot to do about that really
- Michael (10/5): - Perfect location and the apartment contained everything we needed for our long weekend in Brighton. It is compact but slightly bigger than i imagined.
- Beth (10/5): Highly Recommend Seafront Sanctuary - The apartment, though small, is brilliantly located on a high level of Astra House on the seafront (stunning sea views) & close to buses, supermarkets & restaurants. It's an easy 20 min walk to Brighton Station, which is how we travelled down & back from London. Everything you could ever need for a stay has been provided by Trevor & Angie. A perfect place for a few days' stay especially as it has a fully equipped kitchen (with a view to die for) & a washing machine & dryer! Trevor made the handover of keys super easy for us. Nothing!
- Diane (10/5): Gorgeous apartment in great location - Beautifully appointed apartment with stunning views over the prom. Hot water seemed a little bit of a lottery - we wanted to make use of the beautiful bath but there wasn't enough hot water to fill it.
- Sylvia (10/5): Had a relaxing stay in Brighton, would book again - The location was excellent, very cozy studio flat, great view, great amenities, responsive hosts There wasn’t a good place to put our suitcases.
- Rebecca (10/5): Really good location clean nicely decorated and really helpful hosts - Really good location. Very clean and great hosts
- Inke Viola (9/5): -
- Eshrag (7/5): - The room, was really nice and spacious, the apartment had really nice views and an excellent location! The apartment had no living room
- Pamela (10/5): We had a wonderful weekend in Brighton. Trevor allowed us to check in early on the day of our arrival, which was very he - It was fully equipped and very clean. The host, Trevor, was very kind, helpful, and accomodating.
- Rebecca (10/5): Perfect little getaway! - We couldn't have picked a better place for our 1st holiday together. The apartment is beautifully decorated, well equipped with everything that you would need & the cleanliness was top notch! I would highly recommend staying here for a little getaway. I can't think of one thing that we didn't like!
- Maxwell (9/5): - Great flat in a very nice location, lovely view.
- Gunnar (9/5): Very nice place to stay in Brighton! Highly recommended - Very nice place for a short stay and probably for a longer one too! Very easy to find, 15min walk from train station and just a road to cross to the beach. Lift to the 7th floor. Very clean apartment, quiet and well equipped. Extra blankets appreciated. Lots of good places to eat nearby.
- Iwona (10/5): Rewelacja - Apartament na najwyższym poziomie
- Ann-marie (8/5): -
- Michael (8/5): - Good communication from host. Good location.
- patrick (9/5): Great location - Ideal location with a sea view. Very clean apartment with excellent facilities. The shower is not very powerful and inside a higher than normal bath(on lions feet) so a little difficult to get out of.
No parking although there is a nearby one but £25 a day.
- Joanne (8/5): -
- Casey (10/5): Brilliant stay! - Such a brilliant stay, Trevor was amazing and made us feel so comfortable for the entirety of our stay.
The apartment was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked in order for us to be able to cook with everything we needed including pots, pans, knives, utensils, microwave, oven, hob etc. The bathroom was spotless with shampoo, conditioner and body wash available and the bed was very comfortable.
We would highly recommend this apartment to anyone wishing to have a holiday in Brighton and wish we had more time to enjoy it! There was nothing to dislike from our short stay here.
- Linda (10/5): - Lovely clean apartment with everything we needed,very friendly and helpful hosts,location was excellent and we will definitely book again.
- Hannah (10/5): Stunning apartment with Seaview! - Wow!! What a beautiful apartment with a lovely Seaview! Drinking my morning coffee in bed looking out at the sea was a wonderful experience. The apartments size and amenities were perfect for a couple and it was very clean. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring Brighton with a short walk to all attractions. Trevor was a really friendly and attentive host who made checking in really easy and kindly offered us a flexible check out. We would happily stay again when visiting Brighton and highly recommend. Thank you Trevor and Angie for an amazing stay! Nothing
- Izabela (10/5): Excellent location and a lovely well kept place - Very clean, excellent location, great firm bed ( rarity nowadays!), friendly owners. Outside noise/ but on Brighton seafront it is unavoidable, so we brought earplugs !
- Elizabeth (9/5): Beautiful apartment - Beautiful apartment with sea views. We'd like to move in.
- Cameron (10/5): Perfect - Great views and location, very clean and tidy. Will definitely be booking again.
- Magdalena (10/5): Beautiful views and idyllic space. - This is truly a wonderful place. I stayed for a week while visiting Brighton for work, and I loved it. It is centrally located, close to the train station and buses, and, more importantly, the sea. The sea views from the apartment, which is high up on the 7th floor, are breathtaking. The apartment is newly renovated and spotlessly clean. It has a fully equipped kitchen and a nice bathroom with a bathtub and a window. Overall great place to stay.
- Paris (10/5): A perfect stay in Brighton - Perfect location, sea views, spotless apartment with everything you could need, lovely host - 5* all-round!
- David (10/5): Comfortable accommodation in a great location for a city visit. - Location in Brighton is excellent. Property has all facilities we required for a short break. Very quiet and comfortable. As the owner had informed us, the shower pressure was low but not a deal breaker by any means.
- Sharon (10/5): PERFECT WEEKEND GETAWAY - Perfect little apartment on the seafront, with a view of the i360 and the sea. We stayed for 3 nights. Extremely well-equipped, they've literally thought of everything! I was so happy there was a dolce gusto coffee machine, a big smart tv, a huge bath which I really enjoyed and even scrabble! Also there's a fridge-freezer, washing machine, hairdryer, iron, all the toiletries and cleaning products... everything you could need! There was a problem with the toilet flush during our stay, but the owners were there to sort it within the hour! Very impressed, and they were super-friendly! The only thing really was that bathroom door doesn't stay closed which was a bit of a pain with 2 friends sharing, we had to put a chair outside the door to keep it closed for our privacy. We think it could be a bit chilly in the winter, the windows do let in a bit of air, but it was fairly warm when we were there luckily, there is a small heater as well as a fan available, so it may be fine and there are radiators too but we didn't work out how to turn them on.
- Lindylou300 (10/5): Lovely well equipped apartment - Very well equipped apartment, location was great Nothing accept the weather
- Tim (10/5): Perfect weekend retreat. - Beautiful bright airy apartment with sensational views in a great location.
- Robertson (10/5): Wouldn’t think of booking anywhere else in Brighton. - The bed was comfortable, the apartment was clean, the location is excellent.
What makes this apartment though is the Hosts and the view.
Trevor is proper gem who genuinely cares about his guests stay and your experience of Brighton.
The view is of the sea as far as the eye can see. There is a lift to the 7th floor but be aware there are 4 or 5 steep steps into the lobby.
- Victoria (8/5): Superb location on the sea front but needs a few tweaks inside to make it more comfortable. - Great location! Lovely bedding :) Then bathroom door, couldn’t close from inside the bathroom. The draughty windows and big vent in the bathroom that couldn’t be covered or closed.
- Alan (10/5): Great apartment and location - The apartment block was really lovely and the apartment itself excellent. Nice view of the seafront. Excellent location Nothing
- Jessica (9/5): Superb - Well equipped, lovely decor, great view, very helpful host Very little to say we didn't like but a minor improvement would be that the bathroom privacy could have been improved with a handle on the inside of the door to shut it properly
- Patrick (10/5): A perfect spot for a stay in Brighton - I had a wonderful stay here, you can see the sea and from the window. It's near great restaurants and in perfect walking distance to all the attractions. I was very comfortable and enjoyed my stay. It's in an old art deco building, but it is very quiet and I didn't hear any other noises apart from the wind, but I was there during an exceptionally stormy weekend. Nothing, everything was lovely. Although it's a little tricky to find the entrance, the communication with the hosts makes it easy. Some people may find the old style bath tub tricky to get in an out of for a shower as the sides are high, but a step is provided - so most people's needs are thought about. That's me splitting hairs! I loved the place and would stay here again!
- Mike (10/5): A perfect 2 day break, a hidden gem . Will certainly come back again 😊 - It was very clean , cosy , modern . A perfect place to stay as close to all main places to visit . Hosts Angie and Trev were friendly, and very welcoming.
Definitely a hidden gem. Nothing
- Annette (9/5): Superb - Apartment was perfect for our 2 night stay . Clean and decorated nicely. Views to the sea and Brighton 360 from the lounge/ bedroom. Easy walk along sea front to the Lanes . Lovely cafe at entrance to apartment. Freestanding bath lovely with plenty of hot water .Well equipped kitchen . Thanks for the late check out . Would definitely return. Couldn’t fully close bathroom door from the inside.
- Laura (9/5): Nice and quiet, despite being near seafront. Really comfortable and everything we needed. - Great location, well equipped, clean and comfortable. There was tea, coffee and milk on arrival and owners really helpful.
- Brian (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic Hosts ❤️ extremely helpful and kind.

- Alison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything about the apartment! It felt like a hotel and a home at the same time. The kitchen was well equipped and the apartment was neat and tidy. We ate breakfast with a sea view every morning which was the icing on the cake. We’d love to return to this place :) Nothing.
- Sophie (9/5): Really helpful host who met us with the keys before our stay. Apartment was spotlessly clean, quiet, comfy, and nicely d - The property was spotless, quiet, very comfortable, and brilliantly located. Lovely view of the beach too. Perfect for a couple spending the weekend in Brighton. Really helpful and friendly host. At £340 for two nights, this was on the pricier side, but on balance I think it was well worth paying the extra to stay somewhere so pleasant.
- Lauren (10/5): Lovely stay in a flat right on the seafront - Really good location, lovely views from the room! It was decorated really nicely too, and just felt very homely. Nothing!
- Karen (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend. - Beautifully decorated , centrally located apartment . The apartment was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need . Owners kindly provided coffee,tea & milk which was much appreciated & very accommodating to our needs.
- John (10/5): Very enjoyable, great location, we love Brighton and would definitely recommend Seafront Sanctuary and hosts Angus and T - Ideal location for exploring Brighton and Hove. Lovely sea views. Very comfortable. Hosts were very attentive with nice little touches to welcome us when we arrived. Nothing negative to report.
- Minter (10/5): Beautiful apartment - The owner Trevor was lovely really friendly and welcoming and even text to give us directions as we didn’t know Brighton too well. Property was In a beautiful old building loads of character and right on the seafront! The apartment was spotless and really well designed had everything we needed, really lovely decor. Was perfect for a couple we had a great time. Nothing
- Monika (9/5): Nice weekend appartement by the sea - Great location with seaview. High quality furnishments, WiFi included, nice welcome by the host; complimentary milk and coffee pods.
The appartement has all one needs for a few days close to the beach. Personally I would have enjoyed if the curtains would block out more light in the mornings, but thats just me preferring to sleep in darkness.
Would be too small for me in a longer stay, but again, very subjective. No real negative points.
- Denisa (8/5): Very good - Flat was cozy and comfy Everything was fine
- Andrew (10/5): Stunning place, perfect for singles great for couples. - This property is set inside an old 20’s style building. It looks like all renovations to the common areas are done in keeping with the period which is absolutely stunning. The flat its self is gorgeous, the pictures don’t do it justice. Small but practical and absolutely flooded with natural light. It was the hottest week of the year so far while I was there and never once felt too hot due to the double sash windows. Bed very comfortable, kitchen extremely well appointed to say it’s small, bathroom is stunning. It’s bang in front of the i306 so in the middle of the front. Hosts were absolutely lovely and made my stay an absolute pleasure. I’d happily stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks Angie for everything.
- Kalwant (10/5): Exceptional - Super easy as Angie met us with the keys- easy to contact and quick to respond.
In the apartment she had left us milk and tea, coffee and sugar. 😀
Superb location all very easy and accessible ! Liked it all 🥰
- Rasha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leo (9/5): Overall, we were delighted with the apartment and the location. Very happy with the whole experience - Neat, compact, clean, great location, natural light, sea views, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay . The place was well equipped and suited us perfectly for a few days. The large window looking out to sea made the place feel much larger than it was and we immediately felt right at home The bathroom folding door should have a handle on the back of the door on the bathroom side with a latch so you can securely close the door behind you once you enter the bathroom. Small item, easy fix

Stunning views of the sea and the pier. If you put your head out the window and look right, you can also see the old pier. Lovely airy apartment on the 7th floor. There is a lift!
