A very special Hotel

We had our wedding reception at Drakes 14 years ago. The stay we had at the weekend was as memorable as our first stay, the staff even remembered our original event. We enjoyed relaxing in the cocktail bar and the breakfast was superb.

Best hotel in Brighton

This is my favourite hotel in Brighton by a long way. It is comfortable and the rooms are beautiful, each one of them unique. If you can get the yin yang room, the bathtub with a sea view is out of this world. Will keep returning to this hotel whenever I can.

Staff were so welcoming and the room to a very high standard. The breakfast was excellent. Only minor issue was the very small shower/toilet cubicle. After showering the entire room was wet and there was not a lot of privacy fir toilet use (close proximity to the bed and could see through the glass doors).

Comfortable and food parking

Drake's was a nice hotel with a clean, well-appointed and comfortable room. It is located on the main stand in Brighton and provides reserved parking (for a reasonable fee). This is a great benefit in that area where parking is crazy! The only issue is that many rooms are located up several steep flights of stairs and there is no lift. If you have issues with stairs, double check the location of your room!

Exquisite Attention To Detail. Truly Memorable

The hotel staff were supremely helpful and friendly, they let us check in an hour early upon arrival, we had gone for Easter weekend for my wife’s birthday, to which she was greeted with rose petals on the bed and a birthday card! On Easter Sunday, on our way out for the day, we opened our door to a lovely surprise of an Easter egg and came back to a refreshed room with fresh sheets, made bed and refreshed tea/coffee station, the little details made the trip so very memorable and Drakes will now be my first choice when coming back to Brighton. Thank you all so much for making her first trip to Brighton so friendly, pleasant and memorable! -Giovanni
