Great experience all round. But be careful of the parking cost as we had shocking £115 bill for parking after staying a week. But there aren’t really any other options so just be aware of the cost. 😍

New Year stay
We’ve stayed in the hotel many times and always go New Year’s Day for either a night or two Hotel has a nice lobby area to sit and chat with friends. Family rooms are well equipped and this time had a coffee machine with pods. Breakfast was lovely with lots to choose from. A very central hotel to the pier and shops.

Staff were excellent, hotel was decent. Some very pronounced bits of wear in places (bottom of the bathroom door was rotten). TV was slightly small for a room of its size. Issues with inconsistent amounts of loo roll provided! Excellent location and a decent option if you want to stay in the heart of Brighton.

We decided to celebrate New Year's Eve in this hotel. We paid £500 for two nights. On New Year's Eve they told us that we couldn't eat in the restaurant because it was full. Everything was booked. From 6pm to midnight, this restaurant wasn't full. Only 50% of the tables were occupied. However, they didn't let us have dinner there and we had to eat in the hotel's lobby on New Year's Eve. The most shocking thing was that for a day and 20 hours of parking at the hotel we paid £58. I couldn't believe that for less than 48 hours we had to pay £58 for hotel parking. The good things are that the atmosphere in the hotel was good, the staff was very polite and the room was clean.

We last stayed here at Christmas in 2023 & really enjoyed our stay. We were visiting family again between Christmas and New Year this weekend & decided to rebook based on our experience last year. However we felt let down on this occasion. We didn’t arrive to check in until 7pm to be told our room hadn’t been ‘inspected’ and would not be ready for check in for the next 5 minutes. We were ok with this as we needed some dinner after a long journey so we went to Raffelos nearby (would recommend) and then returned at 8pm. We were then told the room would not be ready for another 20/30 minutes as it was being cleaned! By now we were tired & frustrated at being told different reasons for the delay. The manager came & spoke with us and apologised, blaming lack of staff. He assured us the room would be ready asap. The reception staff advised us our car parking would be complimentary & we could have a late check out of 12.30pm, this cushioned the blow! We then eventually got to our room (352) which looked out over the town hall. The room is really tired, & wasn’t particularly clean. The worst part of the room was the beds, which we remembered being great during our last stay. They creaked every time you moved & also when each person moved the whole bed and mattress moved also. All three of us slept poorly due to this. Unsure what the issue was to be honest but both “king size beds” were the same. Some positives…the shower was great as was breakfast, Oliver is lovely! We won’t return.

On arrival at 2pm (1hr prior to official check in time) was advised ‘your room is ready would you like to check in now for an extra £20’. I completely understand paying for a faster clean if the room is needed earlier specially but if its already done, its one hour difference and we have stayed on multiple occasions why charge! The parking alone is £29 for overnight which isn’t the hotels problem but regardless its an additional cost without the hotel looking for extra income at any opportunity

Great location but tired looking hotel
We came away for a nice romantic weekend and to celebrate a friend's big birthday. Brighton was lovely but I'm not sure I'd stay in this hotel again. The hotel is pretty tired, and in some places dirty. For the price we paid, we expected more; a better service and better upkeep of the hotel. Positives Hotel is in a great location Discounted parking Staff allowed us to decorate friends room on entry Negatives No email response from hotel prior to visit Reception staff didn't answer phone on several occasions when trying to call hotel prior to visit Parking guidelines on automated message when calling don't correspond with actual instructions Parking lift not working Staff were too busy chatting/joking between themselves on reception for several minutes before noticing that we were waiting to check in Room needed better maintenance (door edging falling off, soap dispenser sticking, shower nob too difficult to move, carpet needed better hoovering) Hairdryer didn't work & took too long for new one to be brought up (housekeeping also unhelpful when following up) Main hall, look up and see lots of fallen tiles from roof in the netting- slightly scary Breakfast - busy and not enough tables, we had to sit at a lower table at the bar which was not set up. No knives and spoons. Had to ask multiple times. Many items on buffet not labelled. Long wait for omelet. Some items not replenished quick enough.
