A bit tired and manky

Advantages: A place you can book for 1 night
Disadvantages: Expensive for what you get

Stayed at the Metropole this weekend. Booked 3 rooms, a Deluxe plus room for my mother (it was her birthday treat) at £210 and 2 rooms for our family at £145 each on mezzanine room. My mothers room was nice, large, seaview although the weather was hideous and there was a gap around the window where the rain came in.No bath robe but Champneys toiletries were a nice touch. However our rooms were dark with tiny windows looking our onto a brick wall, ...
...and bins. Both had dark manky nets. Inferior toiletries, no bath robes, a hairdryer that only had cold air, a flickering bulb in the bathroom.(which they changed quickly when we rang). On the whole for the money it was awful.The toilet in our kids twin room actually started off as a hilarious joke but became annoying. When flushed it made the noice of a motorbike for approx. 3 mins then changed to a higher pitch for the next 2 mins! They also had ...

New Steine Hotel

Advantages: Good location, small and friendly
Disadvantages: Poor decor and furnishings for the price of the rooms

The New Steine Hotel is in a good location, very close to the sea front and close by to the shops and bars, however, when you look at the website you imagine the hotel to be of a higher standard than it actually is!! Rooms/lounge etc. Our ''Deluxe Double with a Sea View' was 2 matresses pushed together with a hard ply wood head board stuck to the wall. No lamp on one side of the bed and the sea view was only visible if you put your head outside of ...
...it was fixed in one position and not visible from one side of the bed. Although it was clean and the people were very helpful and friendly we did expect more for £230 for 2 nights. Have to say the breakfast was ok though. Maybe I am out of touch with the prices of Hotels but I have stayed in hotels of a much higher standard from less money in the past!! Guess thats the city for you! ...

Don't believe all the hype

Advantages: Great location
Disadvantages: Not worthy of 4 stars

The Alvia is a small guest house in Brighton that describes itself as a boutique style hotel but don't be fooled by this promotional blurb. That's not to say that there is anything drastically wrong with this place so long as you are not expecting anything more than a standard seaside B&B. It is graded as a 4 star guest house by the Tourist Board and has won numerous awards over the years. However please note that this place has recently changed ...
...that attracted me to the Alvia is that it offers parking spaces. Parking is notoriously difficult and expensive in Brighton but this place has room for about six cars at an additional fee of £10 per day. One thing that you need to be aware of however is that if you park here you will not be able to use your car at all during your stay since the proprietors don't live here and your car will be locked in. This wasn't a problem for me and it was explained ...

Three nights in the Ramada Jarvis!

Advantages: The whole experience was an advantage.
Disadvantages: -

...of my fiancé was the Ramada Jarvis hotel in Brighton, I have never stayed in a hotel in Brighton before having only visited once previously and having stayed in a bed and breakfast so I cannot compare it to other hotels in the Brighton area but I can compare it to other hotels throughout Britain and indeed Europe as I am fairly well travelled. The first thing of note with this hotel is that it has a modern look without losing any grandeur, I often ...
...Ramada Jarvis was every bit as attractive as the old prestigious hotels dotted around it but with a real up to date look and indeed feel to it. It is situated in a very nice location, very close to the many winding lanes and pathways that are simply alive with beautiful boutiques and equally close to the famous pebble beach where if weather permits as it did for us you can spend a very leisurely afternoon. The hotel has 123 rooms in total all of ...
