Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the stay nice staff nice people breakfast was amazing 😍"

The Grand Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel is in a Prime lication for exploring Brighton.Gorgeous stairwell, nice bar and restaurants. Our room was a suite with sea view, it was spa ious, had a bath by the fabulous window and a balcony with plenty of space to sit and watch the seafront (well worth it).We were lucky that the Pride.Parade took place when we stayed ans we spent 3 hours cheering the wonderful people. The best thing though is the staff, right from the door through to the bars and reception,everyone was on top form.A noticeable upgrade from stays a few years ago which were ok but now service is 5 star."

Number 75

10/10 Excellent

"Unbeatable Location and Value in Brighton! Number 75 is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to be right in the heart of Brighton! The location is truly the best—you step out the door and are immediately at the seafront, pier, and The Lanes. It made exploring the city so incredibly easy. The self check-in process was seamless and stress-free, which I really appreciated, allowing for a flexible arrival. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, including the essential tea/coffee facilities and fast Wi-Fi. Yes, being in such a central, vibrant location means you get city noise, but that’s the trade-off for staying in the middle of all the action! If you're looking for prime access to the beach and all of Brighton's nightlife and attractions at a great price, this place is superb value for money. Highly recommend for a central, convenient, and fun stay!"
