Had a great stay and staff were good but the place is starting to look a bit abused. Found carpet beetle larvae crawling across the floor of our room

To the two girls on reception/bar thank you so much for helping me and my daughter, we got in a bit of a pickle with another hotel and they saved us. Such lovely girls and great service. Hotel was also beautiful. Will definitely be staying there on my next visit to Brighton.

Hotel Una, Brighton..recently stayed again... .. Every time a new even Bigger and Better surprise awaits.... Unlimited options of healthy and hearty breakfast made fresh to your order , splendid spa, roof garden, jacuzzis, top location right next to the BA I 360 and seafront !!! Ab fab... Nothing short of exemplary in every sense... Highly recommended family run business with a nice, cosy, homely atmosphere in luxurious setting, furnishings, and location...Every room uniquely designed to the highest standard and detail, representing a true Art Collection, leaving visitors in sheer delight and disbelief.. Are we in the Hotel, or the Art Museum, one keeps asking oneself constantly ...??? Honoured to be a guest here again, and being treated as Royalty ... ❤ Surely will be back soon.... ❤

We had a pleasant stay here. The breakfast was filling and well done in light of covid but was missing a few warm options. The staff were great and helped us with parking and also adding petals on our bed for our 1 year anniversary. Well priced overall though the room was small but we didn't spend much time in it so was fine for what we needed as we spent very little time inside. Didn't use the bar but the lounge bar area was very relaxing.
6 The Square Hotel

Great location, I had a sea view from my window. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The room itself was clean and luxurious. Breakfast was included in my price but missed the time slots due to wanting a lay in! check out was earlier than I am used to so was a bit of a rush to leave. The bathroom walls were glass, so my only issue with the room was there wasn't much privacy (I was staying there with a friend) when in the shower etc . But would definitely stay there again
7 Sea Spray Brighton Luxury Hotel

Flawless stay at this well run, friendly boutique guest house/hotel. Staff were very accommodating to all guests needs. The breakfast buffet selection was wonderful. The staff are so conscientious and super helpful. The ensuite room (Marrakesh) I had was petite but perfect for a last minute overnight stay in Brighton. Great selection of teas in the room, Bed was very comfy. Added a nice touch with candy at reception. Definitely recommend/ (and stay again if/when back in Brighton).

Very good hotel friendly and helpful staff. Although the room was little it had great feature and decor. Also room was perfect for my use. Staff were also able to assist with providing snack breakfast to assist in my ability to attend the marathon and they were very accommodating upong our checkout. Cute hotel.

Loved this place !
Super comfortable beds, beautiful huge blinds in the room. Super accomodating hosts, omg the breakfast was to die for. I had the salmon on toast every day during our stay. Couldn't get enough of it!
The restaurant recommendations we had, I must say, were a let down but that's no reflection on The Griffin. I think Brighton in general just has the worst fish and chips on offer in the UK.
Sadly, the hot tub in our room wasn't working properly so we kindve missed out on that. But the bath is just huge and gorgeous. There was a speaker in the room where you can sit your phone on and play it using a remote. That was awesome. We had chocolates on our pillows uppon arrival, I mean who wouldn't appreciate that?!
Few minutes walk away from the beach and pier. There's a great array of biscuits, fruit, tea and drinks whenever you want in the day or night with a lovely seating area. My husband and I helped ourselves and felt like we were really looked after during our stay. Amazing. Thank you The Griffin for our beautiful memories!
11 Artist Residence Brighton

Was suggested here by one of their favourite ex tenants. Not stayed yet but really nice bar- nice to have some chilled drinks in
12 Hotel du Vin Brighton

Premium hotel in the heart of Brighton with great prices to match. From weddings to a quick over night it's got it all! Sophisticated and relaxed with a soupçon of ambient lighting makes this venue number 1! Fully tailored services with a event coordinator from weddings to corporate, food is excellent with friendly professional staff throughout. Breakfast was a delight with no fuss rapid service with our host par excellence.
13 Malmaison Brighton

I loved it here. I stayed in February 2020. The staff cannot do enough and are so polite.
I think I was staying in one of their more expensive rooms. The top rooms are extremely well designed. All of the little extras are very thoughtful. The rain shower was simply divine as were the toiletries in the room.
The one piece of feedback I would give is that breakfast could have been better. The breakfast I had was a little dry and a little too much budget hotel in terms of taste.
I came needing a solid rest and a bit of pampering and this hotel really fit the bill.
14 The Chapel Townhouse

15 Snooze

This is the cutest and quirkiest hotel I have ever stayed in. The decor is amazing! The people running it are very friendly and helpful and know loads about the area if your not sure what you want to do. I will definitely be staying again.
16 The Charm Brighton Boutique Hotel & Spa
10+images
As what the name suggests, this hotel is charming! This is my favourite place to stay in Brighton because the staff are lovely, the interior decor makes the hotel feel really cosy and it is in a great location and competitively priced.
Parking can be a bit of a challenge at times, so check out the different roads that you can park along and their respective prices beforehand.
Shout out to Eugenia and Daniella - the entire staff are so lovely and friendly.
Also, the spa treatments are great. My partner loved the Thai massage and pedicure.

This place has an awesome vibe and atmosphere. You will most definitely meet cool people here whether they're staff or people staying in the hotel but either way you're in for a great time. Prices are great, and so is the location. The rooms were clean and spacious and comfy, I ended up extending my stay for a week. I would only recommend the hotel management to think about adding small TVs and kettles/microwaves to the rooms as they are very useful for long stays.
18 Brighton Inn Boutique Guest Accommodation

Stayed one night at his boutique hotel in the small double room. It was so easy to get into the hotel, got a code on the day and the keys were there for us. The room was extremely clean along with the bathroom. The bed was so comfy, one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept in. The shower is powerful, the shampoo & shower gel provided are very nice perfumed. There's a small TV, a mini fridge. I wish there was better instructions on the heating for the room, as it was quiet cold in the night.
20 One Broad Street
