“In a street of bedsits and boarding houses, yet conveniently placed between the sea and the shops of Kemp Town, the Amherst stands out. With eight rooms in total, there are two on each floor, and those in the front have original Victorian fireplaces, baths instead of showers and sea views. All rooms are neatly decorated with quirky, fun touches such as funky mirrors and lighting. The owners, Armand and Patricia, are hands-on, friendly and helpful. A good, inexpensive base.”
