3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW

A fairly average hotel in a good location. Room was clean and comfortable but noisy deliveries at 6:00am woke me earlier than planned. Breakfast was standard fare with plenty of choice. Checking out at 8:30 took longer than planned, only one member of staff on the front desk and a queue of 10 guests waiting to check out. Not great. More

My husband and I had a one night stay at the hotel on May 1st, to our astonishment we learned upon arrival that there had been a fire the days before. The lifts were not in working order and that we had to use the stairs to go to our room. We were on a 3 weeks stay in the... More

Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at the Holiday Inn Brighton - Seafront Following our recent fire, we had to limit the service we offered for a short period of time to our guests. Whilst I appreciate that this was inconvenient and disappointing we did give all of our guests the choice of whether to stay at our... More

The room (an executive) was perfectly adequate if a little dated given we'd paid around £85 & were upgraded when the other room wasn't ready. The room was quiet & the bed comfortable enough. The breakfast which was included with the rate was terrible. I struggled to find something that I thought was edible (settking on toast & jam) but... More

I visited this hotel for the Hull vs Brighton match and cant really fault it for what we wanted. The hotel was clean, the staff welcoming, no problems checking in or anything like that. As we checkin in before midday they were happy to look after our bags until we came back later in the day. It was a gorgeous... More

Had a bit of a disaster at another hotel that someone else had booked on my behalf (see my previous review about Royal Albion Hotel if you want to get the full story). Hastily booked a room at Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront via central reservations, excellent customer service and very efficient staff made this potentially stressful event a breeze. On... More

I stayed here with a group of ladies on a hen night recently and although the hotel was in a fantastic location, I was more than a little disappointed with the service. The rooms were clean, although a little tired-looking, and the shower was lovely - good pressure and temperature. Breakfast was disappointing. After digging in to a fry up... More

For once I was staying at a Holiday Inn for pleasure and not on business. I am a Platinum member and have been for some years. I am very particular about some kind of recognition of this fact.

This hotel, whilst perfectly adequate does not really live up to the brand. Obviously you pay for the location but then an £18 surcharge to park in a dingy carpark is a bit of a cheek. If you dont pay the massive premium for a seaview then rooms may overlook boilers/aircon units. Room itself was fine but an old CRT... More
