Two Night Stay

Barrit20 26/07/2020 TripAdvisor review

We booked sea view room and had fabulous weather, so was justified. However, thought we woke to a sea mist, but this was due to the windows needing a clean! It was 2nd floor, so possibly a problem. Hotel had lovely character. Due to Covid, our room was not made up. Not an issue, except we ran out of bathroom items very quickly. Would have been nice if they told us when checking in, or left double amount in the room. Position is a slow 25 minute walk from the station and right by the BA tower, which was excellent for us. Room was small and did not have any drawers, so could be an issue for longer stays, but was comfortable and we slept well. Lovely walk-in shower, but water was slow to drain. Overall enjoyed our stay and would return.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at the Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel. We very much appreciate your feedback and it is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback There are some changes to our usual standards during this time to ensure the safety of both our teams and our guests and we are grateful for your appreciation.

Excellent Night Away

markhh0rn 20/07/2020 TripAdvisor review

The staff throughout our stay were very friendly and accommodating. The room was comfortable and perfect for a night in Brighton. I would have loved to spend time in the hotel's bar but understandably it is currently closed. Luckily though the hotel is just a short stroll away from everything Brighton has to offer.

Dear Mark Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at the Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel. We very much appreciate your feedback and it is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback I'm sorry the bar was closed during your stay , a precautionary measure during these difficult times but I'm glad to report it is now open.

Kerry Couples - 25/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We was warmly greated by the receptionist and manager. Room 110, i do have to say is a stunning room, a huge balcony and stunning views. This is our second stay here and again, we still definetly be back.. Our only criticism is, the resturant gentleman, We wanted to get something like a steak sandwich (we was happy to pay resturant price for the cut off meat) but he was very dismissive and abrupt with us...

Andre L. Couples - 20/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was good for 2 nights. Breakfast had a good selection. The evening menu was a bit limited if we had stayed longer. The bar had a nice atmosphere but let down by not having ant draught beers or lagers and mainly tiny bottles from the fridge. We appreciate the hotel is old and quirky but the outside of the window in our room was filthy. room 203.

Lovely refurbished rooms in the main hotel Pitt about the breakfast

Professor U. S. Couples - 10/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We have stayed many times in the past and the refurbished room in the main hotel are fabulous. They are not cheap though. Reception staff were all lovely. The breakfast on Sunday morning was truly awful: at 9.30 am the cooked items were cold such as the bacon. The pots of tea were lukewarm with just one teabag making the tea undrinkable. There was just one waiter trying to serve about 20 guests at the same time. When we asked him for hot and strong tea he returned after 15 minutes with one teabag. We will stay here again but not have breakfast. That was really not worth the money

Nice hotel
