4 Star Gold Award

Posted on Sunday, 23 January 2011 06:10AM by Andy & Matt
We have had an overnight visit by the Quality in Tourism (VisitBritain) Hotel Inspector (9th February 2011). They have since accredited us with a 4-star Gold Award for 2011 along with a Breakfast Award.
The Inspector's summary (in brief) read:
Under the British Common Standard for Guest Accommodation, The Twenty One achieves a Four Star Gold Guest Accommodation rating. One feature of the standard is that the key areas of the business: cleanliness, hospitality, bedrooms, bathrooms and breakfast must be of an equivalent quality to the overall rating awarded. All of these areas should, therefore, meet or exceed the quality expected at a particular star level for that rating to be achieved. Following this assessment the establishment meets these requirements, enabling the rating to be confirmed.
The Twenty One provides very well appointed, high quality accommodation within the City of Brighton.
The property is within easy walking distance of the seafront, pier and local restaurants and bars in Kemp Town.
Housekeeping was of an exceptional standard throughout the property and the owners are commended on their attention to detail and high levels of consistency.
Breakfast was very well cooked and presented and an excellent range of cooked and continental dishes are provided for guests enjoyment.
The owners are wished continued good luck and success for the future.
Physical areas: The property is maintained to a very high standard and the owners are very proactive and are always looking for ways to improve and enhance their guests experience.
Service and hospitality: An excellent level of hospitality and service was provided by Matt and Andy making guests feel very relaxed and immediately at home.

On the 4th June 2008 we also had an overnight visit by the Quality in Tourism (VisitBritain) Hotel Inspector. They accredited us with a 4-star Gold Award.
The Inspector's summary (in brief) read:
The proprietors show extremely good levels of hospitality and obviously work hard to maintain the standards of accommodation and cleanliness, which is be be commended. We would like to take this opportunity to wish them both good luck and every success for the future.
A period property located in the heart of Kemp Town and close to the seafront with easy access to local amenities, main roads and rail links, tourist attractions and places of historical interest. The property has recently undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and presents to a high standard throughout.
Bedrooms are comfortably appointed with a wide range of accessories thoughtfully provided for guest well-being. Decor, furniture and fittings are co-ordinated and of a very good quality. Bathrooms are particularly well presented with contemporary-style sanitary ware and a wide range of toiletries and towels supplied.
Housekeeping shows obvious attention to detail, rooms are very well dressed while standards of cleanliness present very well in all areas, which is always encouraging to note.
