Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront - Brighton

room was ok, smelt musty when we checked in but thought nothing of it. Woke up in morning to find water had come in through wall or ceiling all over clothes and pair of leather shoes. Manager offered to replace, but I had to be at meeting and flew back to States in evening.

Sadly, I think that the photos on Expedia were taken in the 1970's. This hotel is utterly dreadful. The public areas are dirty and scruffy, the corridors and rooms have layer upon layer of chipped scruffy paint, the rooms are absolutely terrible. Tiny bathrooms, uncomfortable beds, TV's that date from the same era as the hotel, threadbare curtains etc. […] etc. The restaurant belongs in Fawlty Towers and the place was taken over by Stag and Hen Party goers. The car park is a filthy hole and costs 18 GBP a day and your car will be packed like a sardine - guaranteed to get damaged by other cars. In summary - Holiday Inn - demolish this hotel and start again. Potential guests - Stay away!!! Read more

The hotel is wonderfully located directly accross the street from the ocean front, with clear views of the sea. The hotel service was outstanding, and the English Breakfast buffet presented each morning was fantastic. All major sites in Brighton (the beach, the Brighton Pier and the Royal Pavilion) were in walking distance from the hotel. Overall, I […] had a memorable week-end stay at a good value for the money spent. Read more

I booked an executive twin room on line, however when i arrived, i was told them type of rooms only had a double bed, and with there being 2 male adults, all they could offer was a twin room, no offer for anything in compensation as an apology, wasn't really very helpful

Overall the hotel is ok, but the room was cold (the bathroom was always cold no matter how much we tried to heat up the room) and we thought that if you book a four star hotel you do not have to bring hair conditioner and lotion but there was none in the room. The hotel needed to be repainted here and there so maintenance was not as expected for a four […] star Holiday Inn. Read more

This hotel was far to expensive for the quality we received. The rooms were freezing, and dated. Our key cards seemed to never work. The reception was very old fashioned and not very welcoming and every one who wasn't checking in, were in reception to complain about there rooms. All in all it was a very miserable experience. I would suggest knocking […] the hotel down. Read more

Poorly kept, weak facilities... Stay at the H Iilton!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

shower flooded, 'king' size bed was two separate normal beds screwed together.(not the most comfortable) dated room with a very poor signal TV. Where given a Disabled room without asking for one which is a little strange I thought. expensive parking at £18/night but then thats average for Brighton so i've been told.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It's a tired hotel, in need of a big makeover. It must have looked great about 1990. The television belonged in a museum. Not worth the money we paid.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very convenient for half marathon which runs along sea front. Car park was full and receptionist directed us to nearby NCP car park. Unfortunately this was only operating at half capacity but still admitting an unrestricted number of cars so we spent 20mins waiting with other cars for our turn to exit the car park. We think receptionists should have […] been briefed on this because it was only 100m from hotel. Breakfast good, evening food no better than average pub grub. Lots of hen parties who inevitably rolled back in early hours and disturbed our sleep Read more

Check in was a disaster. Very unhelpful duty receptionists at check in. Very different the next morning. New receptionists very efficient. Shame we had a bad start. Evening drink at bar was super. Bar girl so happy and friendly. Food excellent and reasonable. Asked to speak to General Manager made an appointment but he did not see me. So this is why […] I am writing a review. We would not stay again. Just back from the USA where we stay at Holiday Inn Express and thought we would get same excellent service. Very disappointed and wish we had chosen a different hotel in Brighton. Hope this helps. Read more

Very comfortable sea view room. Friendly staff and great breakfast. All in all well worth the money and we would happily stay there again.

The Holiday Inn on Brighton seafront was perfect for my recent overnight stay, with very pleasant staff and a warm welcoming overall feel to the Hotel. The deal booked through Expedia was great and i would recommend highly to friends and family.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel lobby, mostly ok, but sofa chairs were all in a disappointing state, need replacing. Room was very clean, with a comfy bed and shower facilities were ok, but we are used to fridges in our rooms in other countries, so nowhere to keep milk, etc., and missed this facility. Most disappointing of all was a loud wedding reception happening on the ground […] floor. As we were located on the second floor the noise kept us awake. I think that all guests not associated with the wedding should perhaps have been located on a higher floor, therefore reducing the noise factor. When asked at reception on checking out, if we enjoyed our stay we mentioned the annoying noise that kept us awake and the reply was "sorry about that" ??? Read more

This 4 star hotel has 2 stars too many. Shabby rooms and communal areas. Bar service very poor. Little to recommend it, really.

Felt as if I was living in the 1970s. Paid through my nose foe a sea view room but the room was not properly furnished and very tiny. The bathroom was larger than the room. Do not visit this hotel, there are many better hotels adjacent to it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

More than one person at reception and a concierge would have been helpful. It took 3 requests to housekeeping to get a toilet roll.

This was my second time to stay the hotel and I enjoyed so much. Only one thing I was not happy with was that window was not closed properly,not major thing though. I will stay the hotel next time as well.

The hotel is ideally situated, you expect the rip off bar price but I draw the line at being short measured and the attitude from the staff when caught.

Bed was not very comfortable and the room was rather warm. Away from the lobby, the hotel was quite dark and tired. Rooms okay but certainly nothing special. We have stayed in other Holiday Inns and this was not up to their usual standard.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good location on seafront but sensible distance from the busiest area. Convenient for Regency Square car park if hotel car park full or too expensive. Friendly and efficient staff some rather inexperienced. 1960's building now getting a bit tired. Wobbly door handles, noisy plumbing and wonky reception computers. Double bed too small.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel staff were helpful in arranging adjacent rooms for our family stay. Its quite expensive to park here, at £18 per night! If you do park there is no guarantee of a space upon return! On the plus side you are located right on the seafront and 15 min walk to all the central Brighton shops. Hotel is in need of refurbishment. I feel the rooms are no […] better appointed than so called budget hotels offer these days. The room we stayed in had cracked floor tiles and a very worn bath. Breakfast is good and should be booked in advance as further charges may apply. These are all considerations to be taken into account when travelling as a famlily or group as it adds up rapidly.

The rooms and beds were comfortable and quiet, the staff were helpful and the food was good value for money. I particularly enjpyed the variety offered at breakfast.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I thought the hotel looked very tired, the bar meals were expensive. The room was too hot 25, we turned the thermometer down and it was turned up again while we were out. Plus points were there was parking under the hotel, first come first served but we had a space. Close to the shops, Lanes etc. Staff were polite and helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is convenient but the hotel service is not good. The hotel changes the key code everyday, so I have to present my key to the receptionist to reset again & again. The parking charge for hotel guest is GBP 18/night, which is too expensive ! The food quality of the hotel restaurant is very poor. There is no facility in the hotel.

i would rate this hotel as 2/3star parking and food very expensive we stayed there when there was a hen night on people running up and down hall ways slaming doors etc the only good thing was the breakfast very over priced hotel

All was ok It's a standard hotel with standardised everything - nothing special or wow-factor Only problem if you are thinking of coming for a weekend. When i arrived at 4pm of Friday a coachload of hen's were also checking in - 40 of them - i counted!! They had 3 desks yet only opened 2 - v frustrating. They also didn't seem in any rush to speed […] up the check-in. I wanted to get out in the sun!! Then on Saturday eve we arrived back at 11.30pm - not so early we thought - there was a banging disco in the bar (ibiza level sound) that we could hear up in our room. We actually walked past the bar on our way in - in which there was only ONE seated couple yet they refused to turn it down or off until 1am. If you are going for a cosy weekend away BE WARNED!!!! They obviously care more about the DJ's feelings than the customer's Read more

We have stayed in Holiday Inn, Brighton for the last 3 years, always in January and it has been good value for money each time because of the discounted rates available at that time of year. Large room, aircon/heating that you can control. The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean, fairly standard furnishings for UK hotel chain. Windows not so […] clean. Hairdryer didn't work but we were given a replacement within minutes of asking. We found the staff pleasant and helpful. Location is excellent, on the seafront and easy walking distance to cafes, restaurants and town centre. We have never used the hotel bar or restaurant so cannot comment on the food. There are so many interesting options for eating and drinking in Brighton. Read more
