My wife and I stayed at the Thistle for one night in a sew view deluxe room in November. The hotel is ideally situated right on the sea front and close to the pier and shops. We arrived by train and had the south coast not being belted by hurricane force winds and rain it would have been a pleasant... more

This hotel is located in an ideal spot - opposite the beach, great parking and walking distance to shops, restaurants and theatres. This area of Birighton is very beautiful and a friendly and safe place to be. We chose this hotel for an ideal place to do some shopping, enjoy some luxory in the hotel pool and a nice meal... more

After reading previous reviews we were apprehensive about our two night stay at the Thistle in Brighton but we were pleasantly surprised to find that the hotel seemed to bear no resemblence to the reviews we had read! We had a family room as we had a 5 and 2 year old with us and the room was clean and... more

We stay in Brighton regularly. This time we booked one night at the Thistle since they were willing to book just Saturday which many hotels won't. The location is great - right on the sea front in the center of town. The building is OK, if rather bland. Reception was very pleasant both on check in and check out. Our... more

We paid what I think is a lot of money for a very small very average 'non sea view' room, so was a little put out having to pay an extra £22 pounds a day on top for parking. Our room, although nice and clean, had a real tired look about it, but luckily was blessed with a mini-bar, shame... more

We stayed here for the second time in August as our first experiece was so good. The rooms were extremely well equipped, were exceptionally clean, and the food at the hotel was excellent. We paid extra for a sea view and were a bit concerned about whether it would be noisy or not, but it wasn't. It was lovely to... more

Another weekend spent in Brighton and this time we chose the Thistle. It's perfectly situated on the seafront with the rear of the hotel facing out onto the South Lanes. We didn’t pay extra for a seaview room as I know how noisy the road outside can be, but we got a decent deal for a standard room which faced... more

To be fair, we did turn up in Brighton on the weekend of the Labour Party Conference without a booking. We were charged £165 plus £22 for 24 hours parking. The carpark was completely packed as it doubled as a general carpark but we did find a space. On the way in the staff were reasonably friendly and helpful but... more

Stayed here too numerous times to menton. Great location right on the front but this is really just Premiere Lodge accommodation with a very very expensive bar. Don't even think of eating in.... Wife joined me for a function and actually felt sorry that I had to stay in such places! So wouldn't recommend for a romantic night stay! more
