Hello and welcome, to my review about the QualityHotel in Brighton.
About a month ago, my good friend Rory called me to put forward some ideas as to what we could do for his Birthday, after about 20 minutes in deep discussion and rampant surfing we decided that it would be a laugh to go to Brighton for the entire weekend to celebrate his birthday. Therefore first things first we needed somewhere to stay. A quick search on Google showed us a number of hotels in Brighton that were within our budget, one of them being the QualityHotel, so the prices they gave us were within our budget so we went ahead with the booking.

The location of the Hotel is superb; it is at the lower end of West Street. For those who don?t know Brighton that well, West Street is the main street where there are a number of clubs, bars ...
Advantages: Polite and helpful staff, clean hotel. Disadvantages: Bed a bot on the small side for my husband.
facilities, the only pre-requisite my husband demanded, was the perfect choice so I picked it, booked it and f***ked off?.. So, I went a bit Peter Kay then!
After initially contacting the hotel directly, I was advised by the receptionist that if I booked it through the York tourist board site, via the St Deny?s link, I would be able to save myself a few pounds, be warned after checking on line, then again with the hotel itself there was a discrepancy of around £10 per room, per night, the fact it worked out dearer to book through the link was not the result I expected, so check with the hotel direct first.
When I finally booked the double en-suite room the receptionist was pleasant, and well informed. The rooms cost £79 a night, which compared to the relatively cheaper venue of Whitby, our usual weekend of choice, is bloody good value ...
