Top Seafront Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first stay in this hotel and we were very impressed with the establishment, in every respect, but especially and particularly because every member of staff we encountered was polite, listened to what we said, and were totally helpful. It was quite noticeable that the staff were well trained, well motivated, and keen to help us during our stay."

Best Western Princes Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great view of the seafront from our room, the staff were lovely & helpful. Managed to get one of the parking spaces round the back which saved us a fortune in on street parking charges. The Thai food served in the bar area in the evenings is delicious & not to be missed."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Property is adjacent to the beach area, we had a great view of the esplanade from our room. The check-in was great, probably the friendliest one on our 20 day trip around Europe. Room was run of the mill, bathroom could do with some modernisation together with some luxurious towels instead of the heavily used ones provided."

Hamptons Brighton

8/10 Good

"The location was great since it is walking distance to the pier and restaurants. Please note, you will need to pay for street parking when you arrive. The accommodations are clean and look like the pictures. We tried to contact the staff during our stay but we never got a response. We tried to contact them via email and the scanned WhatsApp in the room, and no response. Please note, if you need something during your stay it is difficult to get a response from the staff. It would be helpful to have fans in the rooms."

Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront by IHG

2/10 Terrible

"After checking in we found the air conditioning was not working, tried to call the front desk and phone was not working, nor was the TV. Had to walk back down to reception where we were told we were pre warned about the air conditioning ( we were not!!) and there was a fan in the room- there wasn’t. The lady argued saying there was and said in regards to the phone not working- most hotels don’t have phones anymore anyway. When she came to our room, she finally agreed we indeed did not have a fan. One was delivered- but it literally just moved the hot air around. The fan stopped working in the middle of the night and our toilet was on constant flush. Location wise, this hotel is great. But this hotel needs serious maintenance and updating and until this is done, I’d personally avoid."

Malmaison Brighton

8/10 Good

"Lovely location. Our room was very small so I'd recommend to upgrade to larger one. Reception staff were welcoming and lovely. However, bar staff less friendly. Had to go upto the bar to get drinks which were expensive and then pay a heavy service charge to take my own drinks to my table. Service I understand when you receive it but not when you don't receive it."
