Top Seafront Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole

4/10 Poor

"Service was incredibly slow in the restaurant and on the front desk (available staff were very nice but overworked, whole hotel felt understaffed). We paid a significant amount for a sea view which we didn’t receive. Wouldn’t stay here again."

Best Western Princes Marine Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived earlier than we thought and the staff were very helpful and allowed us an early check-in. Later on in the evening we had an issue trying to gain access to the room but the card key wouldn't work, we reported the issue and initially the card was recharged but after trying the recharged key card there was no luck gaining access. We reported the issue to the receptionist and she tried recalibration of the door lock using the computer software but unfortunately that didn't work. We were sat in the little waiting area outside our room whilst she went off to try and contact the various agencies to come and sort the issue. After a period of time I went to find out whether she was having any success as I was in a lot of pain and needed to get to my medication which was locked in our room, I could see she was concerned so she contacted the main man who was just about to go to bed, he came out and after the initial effort to gain access told the receptionist to move us to another room which she did whilst he tried to sort out the door. In the early hours we got a knock on the door and I got my medication from the boss. Unfortunately, he had to damage the door to gain access. When we went for breakfast we saw the receptionist and I thanked her for her help. Whilst in the restaurant the boss came and apologised but to be fair it was a mechanical error not human and he gave us a free breakfast. Thank you for your professional approach to the situation. I definitely recommend"

Harbour Hotel Brighton

2/10 Terrible

"Stayed at Harbour Hotel Brighton for my partner’s 30th birthday and honestly left disappointed. We arranged for a bottle of champagne and strawberries to be waiting in the room on arrival. Instead, we were delivered a warm bottle of Prosecco and told the champagne would arrive the next day. Despite mentioning it multiple times throughout the stay, it never appeared. The biggest issue though was the condition of the rooms. The first room was dirty, tired, and poorly maintained. Stains throughout the carpets, marks on furniture, rusty shower fittings, dirty skirting boards, grimy areas around the bathroom, and general lack of upkeep. We were moved to another room, but even that had stains all over the carpet and still felt worn out and neglected. To make matters worse, we received no housekeeping service until we specifically asked for it. The spa experience was mixed. My partner’s facial was apparently lovely, and the staff themselves were polite whenever we spoke to them, but the spa area also looked tired and poorly maintained. I also came out in a rash after using the hot tub, which made me question whether the chemical balance was being properly monitored. Despite booking a £100 treatment, there was still an extra £10 charge just to use the spa facilities, which felt a bit cheap for a hotel positioning itself as four-star luxury. This doesn’t seem like bad luck either — after looking through Google reviews, there are plenty of photos showing very similar room conditions."

Hamptons Brighton

8/10 Good

"Good location - right near the sea and easy to walk into town. Easy to check in as it is simply a case of using the codes that are messaged on the day. Fairly basic room and bathroom, but it was only a place to sleep so didn't spend much time in the room other than that. I didn't hear anything from other guests so must have been fairly soundproof."
