Independent hotels in Brighton and Hove, England

"Great hotel. Staff and facilities were brilliant. It was definitely worth upgrading for a sea view. The room size wasn’t huge - this wasn’t a problem for me but could be for some people."

"My husband and I stayed at The Grand for three nights for our honeymoon and we felt that it was th"

"Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff. Our first visit to Brighton and we will definitely return and will stay in this hotel."

"Staff were all amazing, happy, friendly, helpful and professional. Some areas of the hotel feel a bit dated but didn’t impact our stay. Lobby and bar are beautifully decorated. Had a fantastic weekend and will definitely visit again "

"Very fresh feeling hotel and great location to the local facilities. Didn't get to experience the Spa but would book this again without hesitation x "

"We go to Brighton yearly for the Racing Festival and this was the first time we stopped at Queens Hotel. It was lovely. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. The room when we went in was bigger than I expected, with everything in it. Very clean and a beautiful uninterrupted view of the sea. (We've lived for 70 years in the heart of England, only seeing the sea when we go away). Kettle, Iron & Board, lovely thick fluffy towels, nice pillows and a firm bed, finishing with blackout curtains. A big fan in the wardrobe along with a safe and hairdryer. The shower wasn't the most powerful, but was adequate. I did have problems getting out of the bath (after having a shower the first day,) as I'm not tall, but managed the other days, Breakfast was plentiful, choosing from a full English to Continental, although you did have to hunt around the shelves for different items. Also Oat Milk, which was brilliant. Two lifts going up to the rooms, one or two people with walking sticks and a couple of rollators who didn't seem to have problems. Slightly noisy, but as we have always stopped on the sea front, we take our ear plugs with us. Very close to the pier and within walking distance of the Lanes and Churchill Shopping Centre. Plenty of places to eat near, and a few 'interesting pubs'!! Next time we stop (as we will go back for the racing next year, we are going to have a Tower Room. Thanks to Dom for taking me around ❤️."

"Great, affordable stay in a perfect location. We booked a private double which was affordable, spacious and clean. The check in process was easy and the young local fellow at the desk was fantastic and sorted us out with recommendations. The location is incredible for the price. Seconds walk to the pier and loads of great venues around for food and drinks. The communal kitchen facility was well equipped, but perhaps in need of a good clean. Overall a very pleasant stay that I would definitely recommend."
