Alfriston Hotel Guide - Romantic Hotels in Alfriston, United Kingdom

Great location for Brighton, car park outside, eay stroll to centre for food, entertainment etc. Hotel nice, breakfast good, stairs a bit steep no lift

One night stay ...great location...close to all attractions

Amazing place to stay, walking distance to the pier and shops, staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to help us.

I had a sea facing room, which was really lovely and made the experience of staying in brighton that much more memorable. overall, the hotel is great had everything I needed and perfect location.

Stayed here for wedding of our great niece. Beautiful venue, grounds and meal. While thing was lovely

Excellent breakfast in a lovely dining room facing a sparkling sea, with friendly and accommodating staff. Room was clean and well lit. Only criticism of the hotel is that just one small lift was inadequate at peak times of arrival, departure and meal times.

Staff went the extra mile to be helpful Food was excellent Room quiet and very comfortable Obviously successful refurbishment Very impressed

We love this hotel - it is in a perfect location, and the staff are very helpful. We like the same room each time because of the view and the comfort, and this year it had been refurbished, which was nice. Although not sure about the mismatched wardrobe /dressing table! But what the heck, that is not an important factor. Our only dissatisfaction was with the poor organisation and management of breakfast; you need to bring in a dining room manager / head waiter who is really on the ball, and it would be helpful to send your waiting staff to improvers' English lessons, as we felt they were as frustrated as the guests at the language barrier. But we'll be back !

Really lovely setting ,beautiful old building great place to visit

Overall we enjoyed our stay at The Grand. However when we tried to book the restaurant on our first night they were fully booked and we found the lady at the restaurant reception quite abrupt and she did not offer any alternative. We sat in the afternoon tea room area that night and after asking the waiter if it was possible to have a meal in there he said he would ask the manager. A lady came to see us and said we could have a meal off the room service menu, which for us solved the problem. It was a pity we had to go all round the doors just to obtain a meal (we did not want a snack). As we were staying to celebrate my 60th birthday it was a bad start. We did find that the main desk receptionist was very distracted that night when we were asking to book for a meal the next night as it appeared that there was a wedding party that needed attention and she left us standing to resolve that. We eventually booked with the lady at the restaurant desk.We found the door men really helpful. The food was delicious.Continuing from improvements we choose to pay by cash or debit card and it appeared this was second best to using a credit card. Also the fact that we are so limited in this review to the characters we can use in the 'improved' and 'things to do' box.
