Top Peacehaven Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurant was great, we really enjoyed both breakfast and evening meal. The restaurant staff were really helpful and friendly"

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."

Cavendish Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good price and location"

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."

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!"
