Royal Albion Hotel  

Considering the reviews I read before I went, was expecting the worst but apart from the system being down when we got there (these things happen) we had to wait about half hour which was fine as relaxed in the lounge with a drink. The staff where fine, the room was clean with plenty of room. Would stay again!

It was very clean and generally a very nice hotel to stay in the breakfast was great and it was a good price

Fantastic time views from the double balcony Pier and sea view just brilliant! Stayed for 2 nights only. Had a great time!! Recommended.+++++

No complaints nothing wrong faultless. wanted to stay longer :(

The staff were very polite and helpful, and the room we had was lovely - Even had a jacuzzi bath which was not something we had requested, but was lovely to have! The room was spacious with a great view over the city.

My only quibble is that the complimentary shower products were only really enough for one person. Otherwise, it was a lovely stay!

During our brief stay at the Royal Albion Hotel we found the hotel to be clean and tidy. We were lucky enough to get an upgraded room which we found to be more than adequate for our needs. The hotel staff were helpful and efficient at reception and in the dining room. We only had the breakfast and had no complaints, they catered for most tastes. The only minor complaint is that you could wait a while for the lift at popular times. But for the more athletic you did have the option of the staircase.

The staff were very polite and efficient, and were quick to supply me with a few items that were missing from my room when I first arrived. Also, the breakfast buffet had a wide range of good food.

The location and staff.

The food, the clientele, and the rooms were appalling. For the price you would expect wifi in all rooms, really wouldn't stay there again, dreadful if your disabled as there is only one lift and they have to maually get the ramps out each time which is not great when it is raining! If you want a place to stay for a hen night and not looking for comfort then it is the hotel for you. If you are a family looking for comfort don't bother.

The main reason for booking the hotel was the location - just opposite the pier. I arrived late which I had already warned in my booking details and was grateful for being promptly allocated a room after reading the other reviews.

I had booked a superior double room in the hope of my partner being able to join me. The room I was allocated was a twin bedded disabled room. Why? As it turned out, I ended up alone and stayed with the room, but it wasn't what I had asked for and I had warned Royal Albion I would be late.

Not one aspect of the experience!

Room 171, in the basement, has a large window and high ceilings. What it also has is a leaking shower (over bath) with resultant constantly wet tiled floor and saturated, smelling carpet into the bedroom, rotting door frame and the associated smell permeating the bedroom. Tile grout around the bath is badly stained, ceiling coving marked with mould stains and wall paper coming off the bedroom walls. The window faces a basement wall less than a metre away with footpath visible about 2m above floor level. Having waited for half an hour, at reception, to complain gave up and intend to raise a formal complaint to the Brittania Hotel group. This is my first ever review of a hotel and is offered as a warning to others who may be foolish enough to book into this hotel. (Anecdotally - having subsequently spoken to relatives living in Brighton, I am advised that the Hotel’s reputation is well known locally!)

The fact the hotel is really in need of updating and redecorating it's very poor , the parking facilities are terrble as they do not have a desigated area it took me over 2 hours to find a space , it's just not acceptable !

Air conditioner was not working when I stayed there on 17/01/2012, I did complaint but no body come to see , because my room was too hot , apart from that my bad is very bad next day my all body were in pain because of that bad.

The breakfast buffet was excellent. Wide choice and nicely cooked and presented

The room was freezing as none of the windows closed properly. No such thing as double glazing the net curtains were blowing in the wind. Location was very noisy on the saturday I stayed. Double glazing would help both these issues
