Top South Downs Way Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Hotel Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff, we’ve stayed before and always found this to be a great option for Brighton. Good location to everything going on and the seafront but a little quieter at night for families and easy parking. Clean rooms with good breakfast on offer"

DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. The staff were all so friendly and helpful without exception. The location is great and our room exceeded our expectations. The pool was out of use during our visit but that was no fault of the hotel staff. We loved Brighton and would stay here again."

Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Once again staying at a Holiday Inn Express and their air con was ‘temporarily’ not working - the one in Portsmouth has been temporary for about three years! Other than that great"

ibis Brighton City Centre - Station

8/10 Good

"Would not of had 5 stars. But even when I followed the steps to have bedding and a towel changed. They were not changed."

Queens Hotel

8/10 Good

"My stay at the Queens Hotel was generally very nice. The overall experience, cleanliness, and hospitality were pleasant, and it provided a comfortable base. However, my only real drawback was during the peak of the hot summer weather. When I kindly asked the front desk if they could help replace or provide a more effective fan for the room, they unfortunately didn't manage to help. The fan provided wasn't up to the job of keeping the room cool during the heatwave, which made it a bit difficult to sleep comfortably. Aside from that one hiccup with room temperature control during hot weather, everything else was good. With a bit more attention to guest comfort during warm spells, this would easily be a 5-star stay."

Staybridge Suites Brighton by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect accommodation. I would highly recommend. Staff friendly and helpful, lovely clean room with everything you would need, close to the station and a great breakfast. I will definitely stay there again."

Numa Brighton Pavilion

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean except for the armchair which is in need of a shampoo. Everything else was fine, plenty of tea, coffee etc. My only real concern was that on the morning of check out, someone, presumably a housekeeper, opened my door then left again. I found this worrying because it was well before check out time, I was in the shower and I was a woman alone and defenceless. I thought I had double locked the door but obviously it can still be opened by staff."

Hotel du Vin Brighton

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was stunning and the bed was very comfortable. My only is every time we called down to reception it always took several attempts to get hold of someone."

Harbour Hotel Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was lovely - such a relaxing atmosphere and lovely rooms. The staff were super friendly, helpful and responsive. The location is ideal - 15 minute walk in a straight line from the station, over the road from the beach and 5 minutes to the lanes. This was the best hotel spa I’ve ever been to - well worth the extra £10 to use. Large swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, two hot tubs, sauna, steam room and calm chill out area. Will definitely be visiting again!"
