Hotels in Brighton

"My daughter and I loved The Old Ship Hotel. The location was perfect, the beach is just over the road, the Pier was a few minutes walk away and the shops are basically just round the corner. Our room (a twin room) was bigger than I expected. Tea and coffee with a kettle was great as I was gasping for a cuppa when we arrived. They even supplied ear plugs because it can be a little bit noisey at night (this was mainly from the large hotel opposite). Quite a large bathroom, with a bath and shower, and complimentary shower gel, shampoo and soap. The room was clean and no dodgy smells. There was a fan, but we didn't need it, the partially open window was enough. We didn't ask for a room with a sea view, but it could be seen if you looked to the right. We were on the 3rd floor and there is nothing wrong with the lift (ignore other reviews). Breakfast was great, a decent selection to suit everyone. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant one night; it was amazing! A decent price too. There was loads of seating on the ground floor. The bar was great too. We needed to store our luggage before and after and it was stored securely, with a numbered tag, only staff could access it (unlike a different hotel nearby that simply left your luggage near the reception desk for anyone to access). Considering the low price we paid, the hotel truly was amazing. Lovely staff, clean everywhere, big rooms, great food, fantastic location, what more could you ask for! I will be booking again next year. My mum could easily come with us, she uses a walker, and the hotel would definitely be suitable for a less able person."

"Hotel is in a great location, what used to be a grand old hotel is now a hostel hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful.Roons are great and quiet z they also provided a fan. The decor was a little worn and there were some flies hovering in reception probably due to rubbish ready to be collected. Breakfast is simple and filling, there is a bar and pool table and plenty of space to sit and socialise. There is a small kitchen available too. There is no kettle in private room so bring your own tea and coffee and you can boil the kettle in shared kitchen if it's within hours otherwise you will need your own."

"A small hotel very close to the beach, the facilities are average, the room is not big, the wooden stairs, very old-fashioned British residence. Walking to the beach, very close, just a few steps to the beach. Close to the downtown attractions area, you can walk to the King's Pavilion in a few minutes. There are some small streets and alleys around, there are food, drink, supermarkets and small commodity shops. There is a public parking lot at the entrance of the hotel to park along the street, but whether there is a location depends on luck. The hotel's appearance is not special, and the surrounding streets are photographed."

"Pros first. Great rooms, great staff, clean and looked after hotel, right on the front. Near to everything. Cons Hotel is also a club / pub and is very loud till 4pm during the weekends. All rooms are above the bar / club so had little to no sleep the entire time we were there. They do provide ear plugs in the room but this hotel is suitable for the young ish amongst us of night owls. Wouldn’t go back but only because of the lack of sleep. Booming bass and a good nights sleep are not a marriage made to work."

"Review of a Fictional Hotel Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars) Title: A Pleasant Stay with a Few Minor Hiccups My recent stay at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton was, on the whole, a very pleasant experience. The hotel's location is a definite highlight—it’s just a two-minute walk from the bustling Brighton Pier and a stone's throw from some fantastic independent coffee shops and restaurants. This made exploring the city on foot incredibly easy and convenient. The staff were a particular standout. From the moment we checked in, the front desk team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful. They provided us with a map and some excellent recommendations for local places to eat, which were spot on. Our room was also a great feature; it was spacious, very clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in at a hotel. While my stay was largely positive, there were a couple of minor issues that kept it from being a perfect 5-star experience. Overall, I would highly recommend the Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton particularly for those looking for a great location and a comfortable stay. The fantastic staff and clean, well-appointed rooms make it an excellent choice for a weekend getaway. While there are a few small areas for improvement, I would certainly consider staying here again on my next visit to Brighton."

"Note that not all floors are accessible via the elevator. The building is located near the beach. The views maybe disappoint. Walls are thin, so if your neighbors argue, you'll hear it. The rooms are in good nick, with a good bed, shower and toilet. Housekeeping skipped our room and we had to ask for new towels at reception twice, which was disappointing. We didn't try breakfast. There's a convenience store that is open late across the street, and no fewer than three Thai restaurants in the street. Probably not recommended for twenty year olds or parents with kids (need to keep it down!) or for the older set (lack of amenities besides a kettle, hair dryer and wifi). Good for a couple's weekend getaway with activities about town."

"Nice hotel in good location next to the Brighton Dome and short walk to The Lanes and the seafront. Our initial room wasn't great - v.small and some electrical issues and nowhere to work from with a laptop - the hotel was fully booked but the management kindly offered us an upgrade to the suite at a preferred rate which was gratefully accepted and went the extra mile to install a desk and chair which made things so much easier on our 5 night stay. Great coffee shop on the premises is a bonus. I get the feeling they were short staffed on the cleaning front, which i won't complain about as it seems to be a common problem across the UK. Overall a good comfortable stay and the suite was a good size with round bed, bath and walk in shower. A panoramic view provides plenty of light into the room. nice. Thank you "

"The hotel is located by the sea. From the train station, it's best to take a bus, as walking is inconvenient due to the numerous hills. The room was tiny, and for an older hotel, the lack of a phone and air conditioning was quite unbearable. Luckily, opening the window provided a cool breeze. I booked well in advance, but was surprised to find the price significantly cheaper when I checked on the day of arrival. Their pricing seems very inconsistent."

"The hotel is incredibly close to the station, which was a huge convenience, especially when traveling with luggage. My only suggestion for improvement would be a slightly lower price or the inclusion of breakfast. However, the hotel itself has a very stylish design and looks both clean and attractive."

"Beautifully decorated room with a small balcony to enjoy the sun . The room was big, very clean and the bed comfy. Bed linen crisp and pillows just right. We had air conditioning or could open the windows to let the sea air in! The bathroom, toiletries and towels good quality. Theres a safe, fridge and good sized wardrobe with shelves . Kettle with tea and coffee also a coffee pod machine to use. We didn’t book for breakfast but it was an option. Staff pleasant and helpful. Would recommend"
