Kings Hotel

My room was a shoebox - although the bathroom was fine. The bed headboard banged against the wall and I had to remove it to read my book at bedtime. The hotel was generally gloomy so I ate elsewhere.

The hotel is fairly no-frills but good value comparable with similar hotels in Brighton. The staff were extremely helpful.

We booked a superior room so were able to glimpse the sea. Quite a good location, but our room was disappointingly small and very warm which mean't we had to open the windows to their maximum of about 6 inches and turn down the radiator. This allowed the street noise of traffic and late night revellers to keep us awake half of the night. The hotel has only 3 stars so we half expected the hard towels, a dated interior, and lack of luxuries. But for the price I would have expected a king size rather than double bed and more than one chair. The staff we encountered were helpful though no one helps with bags and as we checked out the preceding guests were complaining about their stay – so I guess they are used to apologising for what is a disappointing hotel which could do so much better with a refurbishment.

The room was great and staff friendly, all requests were honoured; would book this hotel again.

a lot better than expected for a very reasonable price

Hotel staff were lovely and very welcoming. We only stayed there for one night as we were going to see a band. The price of the hotel was a bargain and the room was a good size. The hotel was right by the seafront and about a 10minute walk to the pier, so it was a good location. I would definitely stay here again.

At first glance everything looks as expected, nicely decorated reception/bar / breakfast room area. Staff are welcoming and helpful.

The location was excellent. Train station was within easy walking distance as well as a variety of resturants, shopping and attactions. My room was bright and clean and had everything I needed while visiting friends in Brighton. The staff was helpful and efficient. I'll return for my next visit.

Stayed just the one night at the Kings Hotel and I was very impressed with the service received by a young staff to everything I asked.
