Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront  

The hotel was clean and practical and within easy walking distance to the shops and beach.

The breakfast could have been better - considering what we paid. Also think £170 for a Holiday Inn is a stupidly high amount for what we actually got.

Appalling. Dreadful. On arrival and after going for a quick walk, found Manager and workman in room: the shower was leaking badly (Manager admitted the room should never have been let out. We needed to get washed and changed to go out to Glyndebourne; the Manager showed us to a room the corridor length away where my wife had to decant all her stuff to have a shower. They then allegedly repaired the shower: it leaked all over the bathroom floor and hallway when we used it the next morning. For £265 I expect a decent bed, a tv that works, bathroom accoutrements, a mini-bar, a bathrobe and a room safe. None of these were available. On complaing the next morning, the Manager docked a mere £50 basically saying he could let the room at that price many times over and could not give a hoot about our views on its value. I will never stay at a Holiday Inn again

Nothing is good in this hotel , I don't recommend it at all

Parking was good and value for money when compared with Nearby ncp. That apart we thought the hotel generally had a rundown and seen better days feel and look about it.

As we commented above the whole hotel has seen better days. The lobby area looks scruffy with revolving doors out of action and looking like they have been for some time. When we arrived the only door into the hotel remained open allowing a howling gale to make checking in a thoroughly uncomfortable experience. We accepted an offer to upgrade our room and discovered possibly the oldest tv taking up a corner of it. Seriously have you never heard of flat screen tv'S. We are in 2012 after all. We met our cousins in the bar and couldn't even order a Baileys... New Year and no Baileys in a 4star hotel and then no Worcester Sauce for a Bloody Mary..... Come on Hospitality Inn ....Get Real. All in all thoroughly unacceptable.

Good location, good size room, helpful staff, cleanliness.

Restaurant area is sizeable, but not big enough to avoid queuing when hotel full

Location

The room was better than we expected from pictures and reviews we had seen. It had everything we needed and was clean. Yes the decor is old and not high quality. We may have been upgraded and the complementary magazine, wifi and water did make our stay more enjoyable. We had no problems with noise. Staff very helpful.

Needs updating decor etc Watch high cost of parking £18.00 which you have NO choice!

Everything in the room was dated and worn, the lampshade actually had holes in them, out of shape and the bathroom vent did not work, the bath tap was dripping all the time. The bathroom was held together with white sealant by the gallon and a lot of it with thumbprints and begiining to moss. We came in and asked about parking, we were askeed if we were staying and then were given a token for the car park. At no time did she say that there was an £18 charge for overnight parking. In the morning an invoice was put thru the door fwith thic charge. We were amazed, thinking parking was free if staying. I took this up with reception , who said that it was written down on a card when I signed in!!!!! Sorry I do not sit theere reading the fine print afterr a 4hr drive from norwich.

The hotel is fine, clean and good location but needs updating , decor etc is looking a bit tired, but otherwise good value.

My husband and I enjoyed a very pleasant day and night in an executive room overlooking seafront. The staff were courteous and helpful and the evening meal was excellent and very good value for money.

I felt the standard of the executive room was not up to the standard one would expect regarding cleanliness of the bathroom. The duvet for the king size bed was hardly sufficient to cover the bed. There was a long black hair in the bath and cracked bath and the grouting around the tiles was black. The TV was poor quality and for the price additinal price one pays for executive suite I would expect better. However, overall it was very pleasant.

Rich breakfast

Meals outside breakfast

location good,staff very helpful despite being very busy with wedding party, room quiet and clean

booking an executive room it was stated we would get juice,complimentary newspaper and water in room-none of these were evident; also looking at rate in hotel itself we found we could have got it cheaper by contacting hotel directly
