Starlings Guest House

I had booked Starlings through *********** because I had planned to attend the festival. I was unable to go and my cancellation was something like 12 hours past the deadline because my 86-year-old father ended up in the emergency room. (Can provide proof of this - not just saying it.) I asked them to refund the money, and they refused, even if they rebooked the room, which they obviously will. (Festival weekend.) Instead, they basically told me they will keep my money and the new booking money, too bad about your dad and all that. They have made a bad situation in my life so much worse. Who does this? Terrible people.

Such a warm welcome from Melina and Julie, they are the perfect hosts and made us feel at home straight away. I could have chatted with them for hours!! The room was spacious and bright. It is a beautiful and calm guest house perfectly located. I just wish our stay was for a bit longer.

Very nice small guest house located centrally in Brighton. Very near the sea and nice pubs and restaurants. Rooms quite bijou but it’s an old historic building! The rooms are immaculately clean and the host were fantastic. I would definitely recommend a stay here and would certainly return myself!

This is a gem of place to stay in Brighton and without hesitation would 100% recommended and stay here next time I'm in Brighton. Location - very conveniently located in Kemptown. 10 mins walk to the city centre and 1 min walk to the sea front. A quite street and I never heard any street noise at all. There is a bus stop very close by. Lots of shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, 2 supermarkets close by. Hosts - extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble at all. Room - there are 6 in total and I stayed on the top floor. This is an old building so steep stairs, wonky walls etc. My room was very spacious with everything you could want. Spotlessly clean, simple, modernly decorated. Bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was on the small side but that would be expected in a building of that age but no complains at all. Breakfast - you can have room only but I opted for breakfast and every day was well cooked and fresh. Very accomodating as I'm vegan. Overall great stay and exceptional value for all these reasons.

Arrived to a friendly greeting from Malina. We chose the top floor. A very nice room with en-suite. We enjoyed two very pleasant nights there. Superb breakfast with plenty of choice offered. I am a proper ‘grinding my own beans’ coffee drinker and the coffee offered was excellent. Lovely and clean everywhere A short walk from the esplanade and shops so a great location. Would definitely stay here again.

Great welcome. No on site parking but the hosts very knowledgable about best places to park and have available permits to buy for parking anywhere in zone c - we had no problem finding a parking place a few minutes walk away. The room ( we had room 2) was spacious and well presented. Bathroom modern with a great walk in shower. Breakfast is cooked to order and plentiful. Conveniently placed and a short walk to everywhere in Brighton and we had a wonderful few days. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation.
