Please do not waste your money. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Friends of mine were actually on their honeymoon and the room they were given was filthy and disgusting. There were hairs on the pillow and the bathroom had not been cleaned in days with shaving foam up the wall. Needless to say the bride was in... More

I can't believe this hotel charges extra for a so-called jacuzzi bath... they should offer protective suits to wear before you get into their baths. Having travelled to developing countries, it is appalling to count this hotel as the most dire, with appalling customersservice and room conditions. More

After reading all the recent reviews we were a little apprehensive about our two day break. But in all honesty we found the staff to be very accommodating and pleasant. Yes we agree with other reviews that the hotel is very dated and in need of some refurbishment, our room had a sea view and was very clean. The breakfast... More

Location is the only thing that this hotel has to offer. Situated a stones throw from the beach, pier, shops, clubs etc. That's where the good stuff ends and I'm afraid that all I want to do is throw stones at the Albion. There's nothing Royal about this tired, dirty, falling to bits, no good excuse for a hotel. I... More

Apart from the great location being very central and straight on the sea this hotel was a horrible experience. The room was large but stuffy, mould in the corners and no window that would open. The mattresses were a disaster, I have never ever slept on anything like it, not even in a youth hostel! Breakfast was just as bad... More

Stayed here for a friends wedding! Booked a family room, with my two children and partner, which was huge with sea views and a spa bath. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble! Breakfast was Buffett style and had everything you could ask for, and was tasty too! Would definitely reccomend this hotel for families,... More

A great option for budget travellers looking for an amazing location. Overlooking Brighton seafront and pier and just a stone´s throw from the famous Brighton Lanes, this old Hotel is a great getaway for a night or two. It is on all major bus routes to easy to get around town. The rooms are clean and tidy, though look old... More

This was a weekend deal for a group of friends, The location couldn't be faulted. The room and bathroom were warm and clean. A problem with the shower waqs sorted immediatly. We spent days out seeing the sights. Breakfast was generous but I wish hotels would stop serving unseasoned scrambled eggs. At best the evening meal was uninspiring,with a poor... More
