First stay at the Grand and it was excellent. Great position , good room with a huge bed. Side room but could see sea and wreck of West Pier. Stayed two nights Sunday and Monday so got a fantastic discount. Breakfast was brilliant. Recommend Eggs Benedict -- and everything else!. Easy walking distance of everyhwere you need to be in... more

This was my fourth stay at the Grand. I was unhappy with my room on the last visit which had a view of the multi-storey car park and was very small. However, as I enjoy the location I decided to give the hotel another try and this time stayed in a suite. This was spread over two floors, 7th and... more

Fancied a night away and chose the Grand for its location, history and supposed-five-star status. No way is this place a 5* hotel. The service is indifferent at best, the room was drap, worn out, dark, depressing. There was no attention to detail, and since when did a half-decent hotel expect you to toast your own toast at breakfast? The... more

I have recently returned from a long week-end at the Grand Hotel with my husband and his 89 year old mother. There are a few steps at the entrance to the hotel which my mother-in-law found a little difficult, but apart from that check-in was very efficient. We were allocated two adjacent rooms on the first floor which were comfortable.... more

We stayed at this hotel a couple of days this summer, after booking ahead on the phone, getting a very gread deal (£99 including breakfast per night (extra for parking) in a big double room with 2 extra beds for my two small children, but no seaview). Upon arrival we where told that we had been given a free upgrade... more

Stayed at this hotel early October 2009. Reserved a sea view room - but this was unacceptable to us. Moved (at extra cost) to a larger balcony sea view room which was O.K. No air conditioning and no heating (radiators would not operate). Room service was quite good but the charges are London based. Breakfast is very, very good. Well... more

Slightly reticent about booking here after seeing the mixed reviews, but I guess it's just a case of you get what you pay for. We paid more for a better room, and we got more, it was excellent. It's also in a great location. No complaints at all, and the staff were superb throughout. Have been to many great hotels... more

I stay in Brighton with my partner most weeks and we have stayed in most of its hotels. The Grand is still the best in our experience, but does have its flaws. The rooms are generally spacious and relatively clean, although not all that well appointed (just a fridge and no mini bar, for example). The hotel still has the... more

I was here for the Labour Party Conference so expected great things. The Frosted windows which only opened 2 inches made the room hot and stuffy. What view I could get was the back of god knows where, with the sound of kitchen vents very evident. So much for the glorious seafront. While the breakfast was world class, the room... more
