Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel

This is a great place to stay in Brighton. The hotel has character and is well maintained. Our large gorgeous bathroom had high ceiling and huge tub. Our room was sort of in the middle of the hotel, so very quiet, but we still could see the sea from our window. Gorgeous sea breeze. The staff was great and the location was an easy walk to Brighton Pier, […] the Lanes and the Royal Pavilion. We were there only one night. Next time might stay longer as it's really a lovely part of England and the town is great for shopping and has a historical Regency character. Read more

Perfect for running the marathon..not great food if you have young children and as we were there at the sametime a wedding party was we were lucky to get any food at all....not much choice for the paying guests

Mericure was quite nice hotel central to all the tourist places and very handy if your using public transport. The room was pleasant for a nights stay have stayed at better places in Brighton but have stayed at a lot worse!I would give it 7 out 0f 10

Nice seaside "old British" style hotel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We spent a night in Brighton for my birthday and were just looking for somewhere to rest our heads. The pictures of this hotel looked fine and whilst not cheap, thought it's a well known chain and a good bet. Not so... the hotel is very dated and creaky, it had no atmosphere, and the rooms pokey. Our first room looked onto an alley and the bathroom […] was so narrow one could almost not tun around in it. We asked to be moved which they kindly agreed to. Our second room was better and a 'normal' design, but still tiny and a strange, long walk to get to. Very disappointed in our stay unfortunately, unless this is sub £50 a night, I'd not recommend staying there. Read more

We never went! I made a mistake when booking and got the date wrong. I tried to correct it by phoning Expedia and the Hoyel Mercure, but ended up paying £76.20 for nothing

Friendly & helpful staff. Double bed is smallish & far too soft. Capet slightly worn, needing replacement. Beachfront location is great. Overall, really enjoyed the stay. Room very clean. Will be back again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Pleasantly surprised. Friendly, efficient service, flexible, Nice rooms. Good food. Corridors could do with redecoration. £15 overnight parking a bit steep.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Overall very good value for money in a nice buidling and a very comfortable room. The building is however a bit tired and since it was a weekend you could feel the staff /hotel stretched to their limits. Parking was a problem, the procedure to get drinks charged to your room is cumbersome and breakfast was a bit minimal

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Receptionists v.good & friendly.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is a bit far away from the town centre and is probably a bit over priced for what it is. Everything felt a bit dated. Staff were really friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The room we had was really small. We could just about walk around the double bed. The bathroom was similar as you could almost hit the toilet when you opened the door. […] The bed was so nice I fell asleep so quick when I got into bed! I would say this was a good hotel but could be more attractive if the price was lower because of how date things are. It is a 4* hotel though! Read more

This is NOT a 4 star hotel. Desperately in need of an revamp, and daily maintnance. First impression, swingdoor full of fingerprints, whatever, and totally worn out. Walls like paper, every noise was heard. Am I beeing to negative, NO. This is really bad, except for the personell doing their best under catastropical conditions. Stay away...

THIS WAS A GREAT CHOICE WITH ADVISE FROM EXPEDIA CALL CENTRE AS IT WAS A PRETTY BUILDING, EXCELLENT VALUE,GREAT LOCATION, GOOD STAFF AND ALL I COULD HAVE WANTED, SO GOOD THAT I EXTENDED MY STAY.

Booked for a short break. We were able to book in early and were able to upgrade our room to a sea view at a fraction of the normal rate. Lovely stylish room, nice touches, bathrobes, slippers. Sofa. Lovely comfy king size bed. Paid for continental breakfast in advance but we were given full english. Lovely self-serve selection in beautiful dining room […] with pleasant and attentive staff. Would go again Read more

The hotel was advertised on Expedia that the room will have free wifi. This was not the case when we arrived at the hotel. The breakfast was not nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room we stay in was not to bad it was ok for what we needed.The Hotel itself needs to be up dated and could do with a lick of paint. We stood at the bar for 10 mins before someone came to us,not very good for a 4 star hotel. If you want to park your car at the Hotel it will cost you £15 a night just to park, way over the top. All in all this is […] a 2 or 3 star hotel not a 4 star. Read more

For the price of the room, the room was small, a bit shabby and too hot.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was our second choice Brighton hotel as the one we usually stay in could not offer us a good deal for the dates required. We were delighted with the Mercure & will definitely stay there again. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and we had dinner in the restaurant on our last night which we thoroughly enjoyed. A particular tribute must be paid […] to all the hotel staff who went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable. Read more

Four star rating is not appropriate, would struggle at a three. Public areas of hotel are fine but the rooms were very small and not comfortable. The room was not air conditioned which meant that the window had to be left open at night, on our first night we were awoken very early by the sound of the refuse collection vehicle, we thought we might fare […] better the second night only to be woken by the hotel staff wheeling cages about, the third night we suffered the heat. Our stay was three nights, although we didn't have a lot of luggage, there was not a single drawer in the room so apart from the clothes that we could hang on the rail, we had to live out of our suitcases. We are frequent hotel guests and having stayed in a Mecure hotel before we found this very disappointing, a Travel Lodeg would have comfortable. Read more

For the price I paid for the room I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and comfortable it was. The staff were very helpful and the cooked breakfast in the morning was great. For a weekend away in a central location I would highly recommend it and would definately stay there again.

The staff we good and the hotel was well kept and very beautiful! Only criticism was the room was crazy hot due to being heat wave there was no air con which was needed as the sun […] came straight into our room! Apart from that great hotel! Read more

There is no way this a 4 star hotel. Bed is poor and rock-hard, breakfast was below average and no help with luggage, location or made to feel welcome. The rooms are not air-conditioned nor do they have any fans etc. However good location and excellent parking (at a price)

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I selected this hotel based on its location, its handsome exterior and impressive reviews. The location did not disappoint and was perfect for our requirements (a wedding nearby). The exterior of the hotel was as pretty as the pictures, and could have been a setting for an Agatha Christie mystery - I half expected Miss Marple or Poirot to make an appearance […] at breakfast. The interior was rather disappointing however. Our room had a pungent smell (308), which was also noticed and commented about by more than one visitor to our room. Another disappointment was that all of our key cards (for both rooms in our party) didn’t work when we returned late in the evening following the wedding. On a positive note the staff were very friendly, polite and helpful, but it wasn’t quite a four star in my opinion. Read more

I appreciated that the hotel staff were flexible in allowing guests to check in and out - outside their designated check in and out times. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, modern and well maintained. i will definitely come back again.

Basic double rm booked. I had a good sized room which was very comfortable with tea,coffee facilities and still/sparkling water. Breakfast was in the smaller room on the seafront during the wk and in the main hall at the back at the wend. Front room was nicer. Staff very helpful and pleasant(they work very long hours). Hotel is slightly dated and could […] do with a revamp. Started to get busier at wend with hen do and weddings due to central location. Overall pleasant stay,good value and would stay again.

Parking is worth the 15 quid. Good room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very helpful staff-gave us a seaview room with a balcony which made the stay all the more pleasant. When we had stayed at the Mercure in Reims recently, we were told it was company policy for breakfast to be included if you were over 60. On enquiring we were told this was not true- obviously this needs investigating.

Nice hotel, pleasant staff. Not been refurbed in a while but nice and clean. Nice location and decent breakfast buffet.

Firstly we were placed into a disabled room, with a granny shower! On top of that is the disabled alarm cord dangled down onto the middle of the bed. We were then moved to what was apparently the "only other room left in the hotel" which was very old fashioned, in need of renovation, and the shower was what I would expect from a Travelodge I booked […] the Mercure pretty much based on the name, but will not make the same mistake twice The ultimate lowlight of the stay was the special needs maid who seemed unable to notice the "DO NOT DISTURB" sign hung on the front door and burst into our room at 11.50 to clean while me and my girlfriend were buck naked in bed, and didn't even apologise While the front of the hotel gives the impression of a grand 4 star, the rooms themselves were of a 2-3* quality AT BEST Read more

The standard room I was allocated was a basic 2 star. An upgrade to a superior room would have been double the price of the standard room but probably the only way of getting the much lauded 4 star facilities. The hotel is clean, the food is good and most of the staff are really professional except for one notable exception. I would strongly avoid this […] hotel unless you can afford to upgrade as they are so many 3 star hotels in Brighton that would provide a nicer room with more facilities for the same money, or less.

The only disappointing thing was the location of the room(not seafront ).The room was at the side of the hotel and was very noisy when the bins were being removed and replaced .was woken very early from a lovely sleep .The bed was very good and would have slept in longer had it not been for the bin men .

Hotel was clean and quiet with very comfortable bed and room. I would recommend this to a friend as very convenient for shops and Brighton Centre.

Our experience here was wholly positive; a very smart nice room as expected, Mercure do things very well. We wanted a drink at 1am and the night man gladly got us two which was impressive. Position of hotel is great on sea front, parking fair and reasonable too, staff high quality. A billing glitch was disappointing but immediately corrected without […] issue so I'd stay here again for the value and the experience. Read more

Fine hotel 10 mins walk from centre of Brighton. The service was excellent and the room clean. The beds were obviously quite cheap - bought to a budget I guess, Upon arrival the radiator was set to max and ventilation was limited to a window with a lock to limit opening and a patio door that was impossible to open - four of us tried! So even switching […] the radiator off, the room stayed very warm. I guess that only around 10% of rooms have a sea view. However the Mercure was fine for friends having a weekend in Brighton as we didn't stay in the room much. Read more

Excellentes prestations, notamment la literie et le délicieux petit déjeuner . Bon rapport qualité prix. Dommage qu'il soit difficile de se garer et que le parking soit payant la nuit.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Fin beliggenhet rett ovenfor stranden, og kort avstand til piren. Overnattet 1 natt. Parkering utenfor hotellet (betalingsparkering), gjorde at det var enkelt å få med bagasje. Eneste negative var at det var litt for varm på rommet så man måtte sove med vinduet oppe. Vi hadde et stort fin rom med havgløtt.
