Beach Hotels in Brighton

I almost walked out of Jury's Inn when I arrived in Brighton; I was already irritated by their 16:00 check-in time, and the place felt grubby and tired when I walked in. However, it redeemed itself quite quickly when I dealt with the staff. The ladies on the reception desk were incredibly helpful, friendly and efficient, and Ken at the bag storage made my day with his calm and affable personality. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and even though I was close to the lifts, there was little noise. I never ate at the dining room so cannot comment, but I did have a drink at the bar area, which I found to be a little sterile. It was a busy weekend with many people and families in and out, but the hotel managed exceptionally well. Even when one of the lifts was out, I didn't feel that the staff dropped their pace or professionalism. The hotel is in a great location as a springboard for Brighton. My ”Jury” is still out regarding value for money, but I have no hesitation in appreciating the staff.

The Legends hotel states that they have a bar and sub terrain night club in the basement, what they don’t state is :- a,  That the night club carries on until 4:00 am and that the ear plugs provided are ineffective. b,  That if you have a so called city view you can only see the rear of the  adjacent properties. c,  You can’t have the windows open for long because of the deafening noise coming from the air conditioning units on the lower roof and the noise from the extractor chimney are the equivalent to booking accommodation in a machine shop. d,  Empty bottles cascading into the wheelie bin through the small hours of the morning. When we complained about this we were told that staff were not supposed to empty bottles before 8:00. The last time we heard bottles was 5:30. e,  Dirty mouldy bathroom. Dust all over the radiator that dirtied the towels when placed on it.  f,  Misrepresentation of rooms size in the hotel description. Ours was definitely not the same as the one pictured. g,  Being fobbed off  by the hotel staff when we asked to see anyone of authority so we could get reimbursed, and who would only be available when we were long gone. So as you can see from our experience and since getting home and reviewing the lower scores left by previous travellers we are not the only couple to have had a less than pleasant experience at the Legends hotel

This is a nice little hotel and I’ve stayed here several times due to it’s convenient location. This stay I had an issue with my room but the staff sorted it out quickly. The breakfast is good value at I think £12, so you can really fill up for the day before going out and exploring. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are a good size. During the summer the rooms are more expensive as it’s peak season, however compared to many other hotels this is pretty good value for money.

Good service at hotel,with all landmarks near by and good connectivity as well. Definitely recommended,for everyone looking for a budget hotel at Brighton. Only thing which wasn't quiet good is the room sound proofing,we could here everything from the next doors, couldn't speel well because of this

The service attitude of the hotel is quite good. Although the water in the shower is very small, the heating is sufficient. At the beginning, the heating in one room was not working well. They immediately helped us change the room. It was also very quiet. You can also store your luggage. Thank you very much for the reception

Location is absolutely great, the sea is direct in front of the hotel. Everything is at walking distance. The staff is very kind and friendly. When we check in, there is a small promotion where we can get free wine, beer or sodas. Cleanliness is great, the room is spotless although there is a little funky smell but not a big issue. As for the amenities, their shampoo and body wash are in bottles fixed to the wall. But their shampoo and body wash are of quality with meroli and bergamot smell which i just fall in love with. They did provide hand wash and lotion in bottles and fixed to the wall as well. No bar soap, no toothpaste, no toothbrush, no shower cap. Their does provide iron, hair dryer and tea/coffee as well as two bottles of water.

Prior to booking I was a bit skeptical after reading the reviews being 50/50 with some mentioning of being too hot, noise levels and stolen items just to name a few. However, after I arrived I had nothing but positive things to say about this hostel. It was my first time staying in one as a solo traveller who travels singular often! I had all round a fantastic stay. I stayed in a room with 3/4 other females who were respectful of one another and would move around quietly. The window was left open throughout the night so it was an enjoyable nights sleep, however I can imagine it would have been toasty had the window been closed- it was a great circulation throughout. The bathroom was clean and well stocked with soap and tissue. You can rent a towel from reception, before leaving I read reviews that stated this so took along my own but for a small fee you can be provided one on arrival. There are lockers on level 1 that you can leave valuables and bags inside if you happen to arrive earlier than 15h check in time or throughout your stay. I felt safe to leave my bag on my bed when leaving the hotel for the evening to meet friends and just put a padlock on for my own reassurance! Everything was untouched. The staff at reception are pleasant and welcoming with a friendly smile and the bar does great drink offers (£6 for a double!) I would happily stay here again and I’m delighted to have had a first time great stay in a hostel. YHA thanks for making my stay in Brighton enjoyable!!

Unusually I stayed twice in a month. The first visit being my daughters wedding and the second to attend a concert at the Brighton Centre. Both very nice stays. The hotel staff are friendly and accommodating the rooms are well equipped and very clear although a bit tired and would benefit from a bit of a makeover but this is a very old hotel. The beds were very comfy . There is a lot of noise from the outside which did go on till the early hours but this is Brighton and a sea front hotel so I wasn’t worried by this. You pay a price which is well worth it because of the location. The singers in the bar were very good and the breakfast was amazing I’d recommend this hotel. Normally I stay with family in the area but if I ever need to stay in Brighton I would have no hesitation in studying here again

Stayed here for a conference and wasn’t overly impressed. I appreciate they are going through a refit but there was an unacceptable amount of disruption. Long wait at reception to check in. Long queue and only 2 receptionists. Workmen noise during breakout sessions of the conference meant it was difficult to hear speakers. Main lifts out of action and signposting from small lifts to rooms was very poor and I struggled to find my room. Room smelled strongly of paint and had to open window as air con unit didn’t appear to be wired in. Came back after being at dinner to find my towels had been replaced (surprised but thank you) but my facecloth had been removed (it was my own one) and I had nothing to wash my face with. But probably worst of all was being woken by workmen shouting right outside my window at 6.45am. Not what I wanted after a late night. I’m just glad I wasn’t paying for it!

Arrived here at short notice after my other hotel 'fell through'. Initially booked for just a couple of nights as I wasn't sure what it would be like but ended up extending my stay for the week. The room was cosy but spacious and all the staff were friendly too. Might have been the nights where I was there but didn't hear much noise disturbance, even though I was expecting it because of its location. Bit of dust in places and the shower was quite low flow but nothing serious. A desk fan would've been a nice bonus as it was very warm at the time but still managed to sleep fine. Price was very good compared to other hotels and overall a very pleasant stay. Would stop here again.
