We weren't expecting to see the Hanging Gardens of Babylon from our bedroom window but nor did we expect builders trash, rusty railings and crusty underwear. Unfortunately that is exactly what we got once we managed to see past the filth on our 5th floor window. Nor were we impressed by the frayed carpet, broken sink, grimey light switch and... more

This is quite possibly the worst Hotel I have stayed in. Definitely one for the "Hotel inspector" The first thing they hit you with is an additional £15 charge just to park your car in the Hotel's car park for the night. The en suite bathroom was in a nutshell falling to pieces and in great need of "updating" .... more

Brighton really needs a good hotel. Unfortunatley this isn't it. There's quite a bit of muck around this hotel and a few dubious habits. The main one is giving 'filtered' water in your room and on conference tables which tastes like the bottles have been filled from the tap. We chose to buy water from the shop down the road.... more

During recent heatwave-pleasure to find all rooms are air conditioned. This end of Brighton much better away from all the noise at the Pier end. Brilliant seafacing room with balcony overlooking the iconic West Pier, and the newly restored Victorian Bandstand. Very friendly helpful staff. Food good and had no need to venture out to alternative restaurants. more

Just stayed at holiday inn on friday night firstly from outside looks pretty hideous but theres not a great deal management can do about that i guess, however once you go inside the decor is nice and most importantly all staff from management to cleaners were friendly and helpful would stay again and for price value is excellent. more

£99 midweek stay inclusive of breakfast Awful looking building which should never have got the go ahead from town planning...ex council estate perhaps?? Hotel downstairs, apartments on upper levels. On seafront with main road, so location can not be beat. Old run down hotel, 3 star. I paid for a partial sea view room and shouldnt have bothered, the windows... more

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night in June. I must say that we had a really good time. The staff at check in were very nice and because I am a Platinum cardholder with Priority Club Rewards, we were given a fab upgrade to a seaview room with a balcony. I had originally booked a standard room using... more

I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the Holiday Inn on the Brighton seafront. From the outside it looked like a fairground – the drive up to the hotel is lined with strange concrete balls in garish Holiday Inn green. Fortunately the large, comfortable room was more tasteful – neutral colours and modern art. But the TV gave me... more

Paid £200 for a Friday night stay with a seaview. The water in the bathroom was tepid both in the evening and the next morning. Initially a £20 reduction was offered. This was increased to a £70 reductioin once we were able to speak to the manager two days later. The room was very 'tired'. The seaview as fantastic. more
