What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise the Blanch House for its welcoming and friendly staff, often highlighting specific individuals for their charm and helpfulness. They also appreciate the hotel's boutique charm, uniquely decorated rooms, and pleasant breakfast. A common point of contention is that the price should include a full English breakfast rather than just a continental option.

About this place Blanch House

A discreet Georgian townhouse hotel tucked into Atlingworth Street in Kemptown, minutes from Brighton’s main strip of gay bars. Blanch House doesn't lean into the rainbow aesthetic, despite sitting squarely in Kemptown. It's an understated, straight-friendly boutique stay in a residential row, where every room has a completely different look. The draw here is mostly geographic. Walk two minutes north and you're on St James's Street, where most of the town's gay nightlife concentrates. Walk south, downhill, and you hit the seafront and the Palace Pier. It holds a 4.7 average on Google across some 180 reviews, which matches the reality. Just keep your expectations in check regarding Georgian architecture. That means steep, narrow staircases and tight floorplans. Call ahead to ask about square footage and stair climbs before you lock in a booking.

Lovely short stay at Blanch House. The location is perfect, very close to the beach and in such a quiet, peaceful area. The service was lovely throughout our stay, and the complimentary breakfast was a really nice touch. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Brighton.

We had a really nice stay for 2 nights at Blanch House. Everything’s clean, they served a fantastic Continental Breakfast (with fresh fruit salad 😍) and Lydia, Valentina and all the other staff was super friendly and very obliging. Highly recommended!

Small but very beautiful hotel! Staff were all very friendly! I was travelling alone but they made me feel very welcome. My room was on the top floor, very cosy and clean. The bed was so comfortable that I wished I stayed another night 🤣 would definitely stay here again!

The rooms were clean and comfortable we had a party of 6 so we had 3 rooms. The service was excellent Lydia was so helpful and accommodating. The continental breakfast was cereal, toast, fruit, tea, coffee, Juices the staff were friendly and chatty. Would recommend staying at this hotel as its just outside the hustle abd bussel of Brighton but easy access to where u need to go. I would rate 10/10 Downside Brighton council could do more to help with parking!

Would highly recommend this place. Staff and owner very helpful. Had booked wrong dates, they found me a room. The price was cheaper than booking thro booking.com. If you are coming to brighton I would strongly suggest seeing if Blach House has rooms. Will use again as come to brighton alot to visit family.
