Top South Downs Way Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront by IHG

2/10 Terrible

"Run-down and grossly overpriced. No air-conditioning and no fan, and the window barely opened, so it was hotter in the room than it was outside. Room overlooked student accommodation and there were very loud parties until c.3am and c.5am on the two nights I stayed. When I was finally able to sleep the bottle bins were emptied in the alley underneath the window at 06:30. Complete shambles."

DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole

8/10 Good

"Location was beautiful, hotel was wonderful, staff were fantastic! I usually go cheaper and more simple. The only reason I went more expensive this time was availability of parking and the pool due to 33 degree heat. Parking was an additional £29 and the pool had been extremely well used that day. Having said that, I couldn't have been more grateful for the air conditioning. I did get a great night sleep and the showers were great."

Queens Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Old hotel, badly maintained with smelly rooms. The water coming out the bathroom tap had a horrible sewage smell, so my family and I used mineral water to brush the teeth and to wash the face. There were two lifts but only one working during the whole weekend, and the guests had to share it with the staff transporting food or cleaning supplies. It was a mess. I will not return to this hotel."

Maldron Hotel Brighton City Centre

8/10 Good

"We had a very quick check in despite being told we couldnt until 3pm so that was a nice surprise when we arrived early and got to our room in good time but Sadly for the price of a deluxe double room we didn’t get any breakfast included which we’ve never had happen before so unfortunately we had to get food outside to our preference but we did eat a very nice lunch Buddha bowl in the dining room area and was very tasty despite not having any grilled tofu which was on the menu but did not have (was told it was a new menu). Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Wanted to thank a certain lady who was very nice and helpful to us by the name of Annalise I believe or Anna for short. I would like to add if the hotel can display signs of asking customers to respect other guests sleeping during the night when returning back late and shouting and loud talking in the corridors it would be appreciated. Dont think we shall be back in Brighton for a good while now and will consider other alternatives with breakfast included (if vegan is available.) should we visit again."

Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Small room with no wardrobe or chest of drawers - just a random shelving unit with a foot long pole to hang clothes on. Ive stayed in a mercure before with small rooms, and just in case had booked a room with double and single bed so the single bed ended up with all our belongings on. £150 per night! Breakfast was also a problem. Hotel was busy and there were only 2 hot drinks machines. The set up for breakfast was too small for the number of guests staying."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

2/10 Terrible

"We stayed at Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The swimming pool was not fully usable during our stay, which was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel. Our room was booked for three guests, but it was only prepared for two. Basic items were missing and not set up correctly. Several maintenance issues were also present on arrival, including an empty handwash bottle with a broken trigger, a faulty door handle, and an iron that did not work properly. Overall, the room was not properly maintained or prepared, and the issues reported were not resolved during our stay. Very disappointing experience and not reflective of the standard expected."
