Royal Pavillion Townhouse Hotel  

Location and decor

The luxury room that bookings.com confirmed to me was not available until I complained to the reception who first tried to give me a cheaper room

Having stayed at various hotels in Brighton over the years this is the one I would definately consider staying at in the future. Each room has its own unique style I think this is a good value for money hotel. From our room we could see the beach and having a car park so close by was usefu given we were also so close to the shops.

It should be expected that being an old house there is no lift and, having been given a room at the very top of the building, we just got on with it. The flow of water from the shower took quite a while to settle down and suspect that rooms on the upper floors may suffer from water pressure issues.

The location was lovely and when we found a room we liked it was clean, tidy and to our taste.

The only thing we would say that was a bit disappointing was the superior room we booked, we felt wasnt superior but was slightly old fashioned and not quite what was expected judging by the pictures from the hotel. Therefore we didn't feel comfortable in the room and asked if we could move to a more "modern" room that was more to our tasteand more what we expected. We were downgraded but there was no issue with this and found a room no problem. So we would advise to look and choose carefully. Other than this we were delighted.

Good location & helpful lady on reception. Clean bathroom.

Very worn looking carpets in bedroom

Location

Unfriendly welcome

The location was great for the beach and only a ten minute walk from the main shopping areas. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within a 2 minute walk. The room was newly decorated and comfortable with tea making facilities and a flat screen tv. Check in and out was very efficient. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel but there are two cafes just around the corner. This is one of the few hotels in Brighton that allow single night bookings over the weekend at an affordable price.

The bathroom was very clean but had not windows so turned into a sauna. Also the shower had no bracket on the wall so had to be hand held which was rather inconvenient. Our room was at the back and quite noisy from the bars and restaurants in Preston Street, not the hotel's fault but something to be aware of. If you are a light sleeper ask for one of the better rooms that face ont the much quiter Regency Square.

We liked the location walking distance from all attractions.

I didn't feel the cost reflected the hotel,it was quite shabby and outdated,would be value for money if interior was modernised and breakfast of some type included.

The room in general was good although when opening the door I thought there was a couple of stains on the carpet only to find it was part of the pattern! The overall decor was elegant and chintzy

I had asked when upgrading if I could have a room that had a balcony that we could sit out on - I was assured that this would be the case - when checking in I found that the window opening was restricted so that no one could get out onto the balcony. The decor was looking tired and the covering of the chaise longue was somewhat frayed

The bedroom was very spacious and the decor and fittings were very impressive. The location was perfect (a couple of minutes to the town centre and to the beach). Would certainly stay at this hotel again.

As being a sufferer with bad legs and a bad back I found that walking up 6 flights of stairs up to the 3rd Floor a bit of a problem but as I did not inform the hotel about my ailments I can only hold myself to blame.

Great location.

Excellent value for money,very central location and overall we had a fantastic stay.

The position to the seafront and adjacent NCP parking facility.

Our room was on the third floor which was a big effort for us to climb. Also the one lightfitting in the bathroom gave little light on the face for makeup/ shaving.

A great location with reasonably priced car parking right opposite the Hotel.

The floorboards were extremely creaky which seemed quaint to start with but became very annoying by the time we left.
