Top South Downs Way Hotel Reviews

Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location in Brighton near all the local spots. Air con situation was a pain, we called to check the room had air con before booking they said yes so we booked then got to the hotel and were put in a non air con room. We asked to move to an air con room and they moved us so had no idea why they didn’t put us in that room in the first place. I wouldn’t book here again as clearly can’t rely on whether you will get an air con room or not. Everything else was good apart from this situation but it is off putting."

Leonardo Hotel Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely hotel. We onky stayed one night but staff were friendly and helpful and the place was immaculate. It even smelt lovely."

West Beach Hotel Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"Really loved this hotel. Well located with a fabulous sea view. Staff were very helpful. Only started 1 night but will return. Good value for money too."

ibis Brighton City Centre - Station

8/10 Good

"Ideal location next to the railway station and an easy walk to the lanes and the beach. Staff were very helpful, although it appeared that there were often too few of them, and were a bit overwhelmed. Room was typical Ibis, reasonably basic, pod style bathroom, but clean and great value for money. Breakfast was okay, food could have been warmer, but no real complaints, it compares with other hotels in this price point. We have relatives in Brighton, and will use this hotel for future visits."

Harbour Hotel Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"If I am in Brighton this is the hotel where I will stay. On the beach, walkable, and straight walk to Train station or National Express bus to Airports. Not my first stay at this hotel, hopefully not my last."

The Charm Brighton Boutique Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff"

Q Square by Supercity Aparthotels

10/10 Excellent

Staybridge Suites Brighton by IHG

8/10 Good

"I stayed one knight for business. So close from the Brighton station. My room was large enough and cosy. I was very pleased that a hotel clerk was able to recognise me when I came back to pick up my luggage I had left after check out. I would say you can’t expect a lovely breakfast."
