DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay here in Aug 2026. Lovely spacious family room. Very stylish, well maintained and ckean. Comfortable beds, including the children's fold out bed. We all had a good night's sleep. Great location for sea front, west pier, i360. Short walk to town centre / lanes and Brighton Pier. Very impressed with all staff that we encountered, very friendly and helpful and made us feel very comfortable with our stay. Amazing proper customer service at its best. Loved using the pool to cool down after after a hot day exploring Brighton. You do need to be quick with booking a slot after checking in. Handy car park underneath which competitively priced for Brighton. It is tight though - not for a nervy driver or a very big car! Lovely buffet breakfast in the morning. Plenty of options and well stocked even in peak breakfast time in the summer holidays. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again."

Amsterdam Hotel and A Bar

8/10 Good

"The room was nice perfect for me the bed and the shower and the balcony was good the balcony does need some work on it some of the things in the room where dusty and some holes on the walls the clubs under me was lound music but quite in joyed it still could sleep with the doors shut the views where great how ever happy with the overall experience."

The Grand Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"Superb location on the seafront. Clean and comfortable with very pleasant helpful staff throughout. Breakfast was delicious, always plentiful and beautifully presented. My room was so comfortable with excellent touches you would expect of this standard of hotel, for example free large bottles of water in the room fridge, replenished as required and proper small bottles of milk in there too. Toiletries were of a superior standard. Being a solo traveller, it was so welcome that the staff always spoke to you and made sure you had everything needed. Stayed in many hotels all over the world but this was one of the best."

The Old Ship Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel is being refurbished so only part available. From the outside you wouldn't know it was a hotel as all covered up with scaffolding. However the location to everything is superb and the staff are very welcoming. Our room was on first floor with sea view so quite close to everybody passing. Room had everything we needed and bed was clean plus shower functioned well. It can be quite noisy with traffic and people passing but earplugs are provided if needed. There is no air conditioning which will probably become a must but there are ceiling fans in most rooms I believe which was really helpful. At the moment everywhere is “tired” but imagine refurb will improve. Unfortunately the hotel toilets were not clean at all this would put us off eating anything. It is Brightons oldest hotel hopefully the refurb will improve everything. For our purposes of just wanting somewhere to sleep we will definitely go back as hopefully things can only improve."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Brighton Seafront

10/10 Excellent

"Manager went out of his way to help me in tight parking spot as got extra long vehicle, was allowed to park earlier as needed to get to an event. Room was everything we needed, very pleasant staff, great location and a lovely 1st impression inside reception. Would definately stay again. Didnt have breakfast as i dont eat until lunch, but it smelt good 😁. Easy check in/check out"
