Russ Hill Hotel
"Ideal for a cheap stay before or after the airport"
West Beach Hotel Brighton
"West Beach Hotel was very conviently situated on the seafront near the Brighton i360 with sea views level with the old pier, west street has many shops, cafes and restaurants including many from many different countries. Walk up west street to the main road, turn right and this takes you to Churchill Square from where most of the buses go from. From the railway station go straight down the main road, past Wetherspoon's, then turn right at the sea front and the hotel is just past i360 on the right. Approximately 20 minutes walk. We had a problem with a guest in the room above us stomping round the room until 1:15 am, we complained about at the desk and they sorted it straight away, not a sound after that. Our room was quite large with a lovely big bathroom. We had a good view of the sea through the side window. We didn't eat at the hotel as there were two Wetherspoon's 15 to 20 mins walk away. All the buses accepted our Now Card bus passes so we traveled around quite a lot to different resorts along the coast. The hotel was pet friendly but there was no noise from dogs during our stay. We would certainly stay here again."
Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront
"Room was ok but the carpet had a massive bulge in it which my baby kept tripping over. Staff at breakfast didn’t seem too with it. Not very approachable and grouped together to chat and help their self tea/coffee leaving guests queued behind them."
DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole
"Good staff, clean room and easy access from central and beach. Helpful reception. Thank you"
