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

Customer review rating 4.0/5

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

Anonymous Business - 08/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I arrived late in the evening (approximately 10pm). I managed to park at the front of the hotel (just about), but the parking of other guests could best be described as inconsiderate, leaving little room for me to park my car properly. The bedroom was one of the worst I have stayed in (room 107). The floor was so squeaky, I had to climb over the bed to get to the window to close the curtains; I equally had to climb over the bed to get to the kettle. The bathroom was incredibly narrow. I am over 6ft and had to sit sideways on the toilet - I couldn't sit properly as the wall facing the toilet was so narrow that my knees would be crushed up against it. The wi-fi was hit and miss, and when I needed to access emails for work, this was more difficult due to the internet being unreliable. The food and service was good on the other hand, no issues there. Next time I visit I will insist on a much larger bedroom, I really don't know how you can think the bedroom I stayed in was anywhere near acceptable.

Dear Stuart Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay at the Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. We strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. As a heritage property our rooms do vary greatly in size and I’m sorry we were allocated one of the smaller rooms, had you have let reception know you weren't happy we would have happily allocated a more suitable room. Thank you for letting us know about the maintenance issue, this has now been addressed. I very much hope we have the opportunity of welcoming you back to the hotel on any future visit to Brighton and if I can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to contact me personally. I will ensure the best available rates are offered together with complimentary breakfast and a complimentary upgrade subject to availability. Once again our sincere apologies. Kind regards Barry
