We went for a long weekend and overall really enjoyed ourselves. I always check Tripadvisor before booking an hotel and I'd been interested to see a very mixed bag of reviews. So, here's my take on what was great and what was not. Good things: - Lovely sea view so worth splashing out on a sea view room; - Wonderfully... More

Lovely circular seaside room, great views, spacious with all amenities you'd need. Efficient check in, welcoming, even helped us find a parking space on a Friday night. Nice well stocked, cosy bar, quick classy breakfast. Honestly, little to fault. Will use again when in Brighton. More

I can only say that drakes is a little oasis of calm in a Brighton. After getting married on Friday 13th all was well until we started a long weekend away after starting at 3 other hotels which was an utter disaster we turned up at drakes to service that you would expect at top class hotels but don't often...

We stayed here on our wedding night and the service was fantastic. The staff made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay. We ate at the restaurant which was beautiful as well. All in all a great experience would definitely recommend it. More

I decided to surprise my partner for his 30th birthday by staying in the attic room sea facing. I booked the room 3 months in advance and mentioned to the staff that it was my partners birthday. I booked the combination deal where lunch and breakfast was included. Lunch was really good and just before we went up to our... More

Probably the room with the sea view is normal size (similar to what you can imagine from the photos), but if i knew at beginning it's that small i wouldn't stay or choose room with the... More

I have just spent the weekend in Room 404 at Drakes and really loved it - beware the stairs though! The staff were extremely welcoming and the views from our room and balcony were beautiful. The breakfast, which was delivered to our room, was excellent and the White Company toiletries were a cut above some of those offered by much... More

We have just spent our 25th Wedding Anniversary weekend in room 101 at Drakes and would strongly recommend it! The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and we were very impressed that a car parking space had been reserved for us, without us asking, for when we arrived! The room was beautiful, all the furnishings were... More

Me and my partner chose this hotel to celebrate together our Anniversary and we are so thankful that we did. Such a simply beautiful hotel with exceptional customer services! Upon check in we was unsure of where to park the car so my partner called the hotel and they told us that they would be waiting outside to guide us,... More
