staying in brighton would not be the same without king and queen it should be visited on fri or sat night or tue when karaoke is on, allways a great mix of students from all over the world old characters and lots of real brighton locals,the landlord is allways happy and his wife loves a good old knees up mother brown. the staff are friendly and the door staff second to none. not sure about live music on fridays.still best beer garden in brighton.

The hotel was OK as were the staff. The facilities were not great but they did have a big TV in the bar area - great for Britains Got Talent. Also a 24 hour bar... apparently. The night manager was very aggressive when I asked for a drink, even after I explained that this is a 24 hour bar and that I have Aspergers Syndrome which may be confusing him, perhaps in the way I was asking. I was not drunk! After making a formal written complaint to the owner, it still took 2 months and many reminders before I gave up with thier very lame reply. I am completely unsatisfied with thier obvious discrimination and lack of professional care. Of all the other hotels in Brighton, this is one to definitely avoid.

Advantages: Just beautiful
Disadvantages: none

...I booked a night at the Grand for £165 for this we got an evening meal, bed and breakfast. It was slightly out of season, October so the hotel was nowhere near full, think high season would be much dearer. We were delighted to discover th ... Read review

Advantages: Location & friendly/helpful chef.
Disadvantages: That some people are allowed to be let loose on the hotel industry.

I stayed here recently and was made to feel so unwelcome and uncomfortable. I was very polite to the manager at all times but I was spoken to like a child, she was very patronising. I've never known anything like it, it was actually almost funny. We were ... Read review

Stay here at your peril!!
by hellosweetcheeks

Do not stay at this guesthouse !!!!!!!!!!! Unbelieveably rude staff , the rooms were dirty - sheets and towels were stained , carpets hadnt seen a hoover for a good few months and hotel was very shabby with paintwork peeling etc. I almost had to laugh at how rude the manageress was as it just didnt seem real that someone who is expected to deal with the general public has absolutely zero customer relation skills ...if anyone has ever seen Faulty Towers this is what you should expect if you stay at this b&b!
