I was there on business, so I got a coporate rate. The breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty, with a wide range of food. The building does not look like much from the outside, but it is nice inside. The rooms are comfortable and comes complete with a desk to work on. The tea tray is in the desk cupboard... More

I took my mum for afternoon tea and it was very enjoyable. When we arrived we were taken to a table by the window with lovely views. The tea arrived quickly followed by sandwiches, scones and cakes, all delicious! The staff then came round offering further tea. It was a great experience and well worth the money as I had... More

This is the second time we visited the Thistle Brighton, check in staff and porters were very friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Rooms are slightly out dated, but comfortable and clean none the less. Extra pillows available helped. Air conditioning not great, fortunately it was not very hot this time round. We had... More

Location is perfect and central, the staff at the front desk were friendly and kind. Our room was clean and quite comfy but not to spacious. The furniture had already seen better days. Some refreshment is a need there. We had some problems with A/C in the room. Good breakfast. There was spa/healt area but rather very basic and not... More

Upon arriving, the general atmosphere and decor of the hotel is wonderful - the lobby is spacious and the view of the seafront leaves little to be desired. The receptionist, whilst friendly, was very hard to understand, which was a little more than frustrating after travelling. The room itself was very nice - easy to reach due to the elevators... More

When arriving, from the outside this is about the ugliest hotel i've ever seen. I really sticks out (in a bad way) compared to many mansion style hotels. Once you get in, this completely changes. Inside the decoration is very good, the open atrium is fantastic. On a rainy day you could hang around all day with plenty of natural... More

Wow great value for money! 2 courses for £9.99. Salad bar & soup for starters, choice of 3 succulent roast meats and a a choice of veg all fresh as fresh and tasty too, what more could you ask for. No wonder people queue up for it! There is free parking too. The service is efficient & friendly.

The hotel has rooms that face outwards into areas of Brighton and inwards towards a fabulous centre piece of the bar and restaurant. We were lucky to have a room facing outwards so were able to get plenty of fresh air. We were actually facing the town hall so able to see weddings which was nice. We heard at breakfast... More

The hotel on first glance is nice, it's in a perfect location opposite the pier on the sea front. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who insured our check in was efficient. The interior of the lobby is open plan with the bar centrally located. Luxury seating area in front of the bar which made a great... More

Excellent afternoon tea, service was great. Very friendly staff. Very clean area. Location was on the sea front. Shame about the weather but still enjoyed the view & people watching. The parking was easy.
