THE HISTORY OF 'THE ORIENTAL HOTEL'

The Oriental is a striking historic building that once welcomed visitors as one of Brighton’s elegant seaside hotels. Over the years, it became a lively social hub, with a well-known bar that attracted locals, DJs, and music lovers, helping to shape Brighton’s vibrant nightlife. Though its heyday saw many stories unfold within its walls, the building also played host to the city’s creative spirit, inspiring artists, writers, and musicians drawn to Brighton’s unique energy. Today, The Oriental has been thoughtfully transformed into a charming guest house, preserving its character and history while offering guests a comfortable and welcoming space — a chance to stay in a building that has witnessed Brighton’s culture, music, and social life for generations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely stay

We loved our stay, we had everything we needed; spotlessly clean, comfy bed. The apartment is in a great location, you dont even need a car. We used the train in and walked everywhere. We will definitely be back to visit and use this as our main location to stay. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

We want you to have the best possible experience with My Getaways. Here’s a friendly Guest Guide to help your stay run smoothly

Our Guest Promise

• We want you to arrive at a spotless home. If anything has been missed with the cleaning, please let us know straight away, and we will put it right as a priority. If we are unable to resolve it on the same business day, we will offer to move you to another property or refund you for the affected time!

Check-In

• We’ll send your check-in instructions via email and SMS at 3 pm on your arrival day for check-in from 4 pm, once your damage deposit/waiver has been paid.

Damage Deposit

• We work closely with our property owners to protect their homes and take damage deposits for all bookings. The day before check-in (or on the same day, if applicable), you’ll receive a 3D Secure link to select your preferred damage deposit option. The full deposit is simply pre-authorised on your card and released within 7 days of check-out if no breakages or damages are reported. Guests who prefer not to do a fully refundable damage deposit have the option of a one-off non-refundable damage waiver at a much lower cost.

• To keep our properties fresh and clean for all guests, smoking of any kind, leaving traces behind suggesting smoking of any kind, or vaping (including e-cigarettes), is not allowed indoors. Please smoke on the street or patio area, if available.

Noise

• To help keep things peaceful for our neighbours, we kindly ask that noise be kept to a minimum between 10 pm and 8 am. We want you to have a great time. A little consideration goes a long way to making sure everyone can enjoy their evenings (and get a good night’s sleep!)

• Not all properties can host hen, stag, or similar group celebrations. If you’re planning one, just drop us a message, and we’ll happily guide you to a property that can accommodate your group.

• Please note that call-outs due to excessive noise or parties may incur a fee.

Pets

• Switch off the lights.

• Close all windows.

• Turn down the heating.

• These steps help us prepare for the next guests and save energy; every little bit counts.

Age Policy

A Quick Note on Deposits and Property Care

• If any of the above guidelines aren’t followed, we may need to make deductions from your deposit to cover additional cleaning or damages. We hope that’s never necessary!

Thanks so much for your understanding and for helping keep things smooth for everyone.

We hope you have a fantastic stay!
