We stayed here a few years ago when it was the New Europe Hotel, back then it was a decent enough gay hotel. Now it's huge, we stayed in a double with a sea view which was great. We stayed Wed-Sun, although we were on the 2nd floor, we couldnt hear any noise at night. We didnt see the dragon lady mentioned, so cant comment on her. The bar is really cool, all neon with these great light boxes. The staff were lovely especially the barman, who helped us with our bags. This really is the place to be if you don't want to miss a thing in Brighton.
