Top Seaford Hotel Reviews

The Grand Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"I remember a trip by the people I met along the way. The staff in this hotel are absolutely spot on. A great balance between professional but also engaging. Food was excellent, front of house team, efficient and helpful. Thank you for a great stay."

Malmaison Brighton

8/10 Good

"The Location of the Hotel was central to all the amenities at the marina. The Rooms were very clean with a good amount of extras. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. we arrived early , so the room was not ready. They were happy to keep our baggage whilst we went out and returned at check in time . Parking was also a plus !!! AC was available in rooms, but it was great to have a door and windows which opened so we were able to breath fresh sea air I did not have any meals whilst staying at the hotel, however, about 200 yards away The West Way pub was a cost effective alternative for all meals."

The Mitre Hotel Brighton

8/10 Good

"Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, hotel is in an excellent location near to the beach and plenty of restaurants. The room was spacious and clean, comfortable bed and a powerful shower."

Queens Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really good stay, helpful staff, lovely spacious room. Would highly recommend the Queens hotel."

Numa Brighton Pavilion

10/10 Excellent

"Different kind of concept for us as this was a hotel stay without a manned reception desk and all check in was done remotely through the Numa app. Excellent all round. Access PIN and room number was sent through on the morning of arrival. Room was lovely, spacious and modern. Had almost an IKEA vibe. I found the bed and bedding really comfy but hubby not so much. No noise from outside. Loved the idea that the cleaner wouldn't be in every day had we been staying longer than a couple of days. Towels, toilet paper, extra tea/coffee etc could be obtained from the essentials cupboard in the reception area. Couldn't fault anything except there were no usb charging points in the room. It was a good job we took a plotherwise it would have been an issue."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"We are return visitors to the hotel as we're always impressed by the amenities, standards and friendliness of the staff. Super handy for the beach, restaurants and museums. The pool and spa facilities and the breakfast are excellent."
