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, the windowsill full of pigeon poo! and the metal stairs 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 a disabled shower. The hotel staff were on the whole very helpful. The hotel itself was a bit tired with lots of peeling wallpaper in the communal areas, tarted up with funky chairs in the foyer. Breakfast was ok, although when our children arrived they were told they were full!Luckily we had seats at our table. If you are staying in Brighton either book a different hotel (difficult if you only want one night as most hotels want you to book 2 nights over the weekend which is why we booked the Metrople) or pay over the oddds for a deluxe plus room. We will not be returning.
