Stayed here for two nights in early September. Staff were friendly and check in was straightforward. Rooms clean and tidy and very good value for the centre of Brighton. Just a warning for people going into the car park which the Premier Inn recommends you staying - I've been here countless times but as I went on a Saturday it was very busy so the only parking space I could find was on the roof - when my husband and I went to the lifts on the 6th floor we saw some people openly taking drugs which was pretty shocking - so if you don't want to be confronted with this sight I suggest you walk down the ramp to the next floor - obviously this is nothing to do with the hotel and may have been a one off. Apart from that, Brighton was wonderful, as always. If you want a cheap hotel this is the place to go.

You get waht you pay for..we stayed 2 nights Sunday to Tuesday and at around £65 each that really is good!!
Ideal location..straight in the centre..5 mins to everything you need:pier, the lanes, north laines.
Agree with other review about lifts being rubbish and smell of Subway eatery below is not great!
Room was bizarre in design..family room with bed squashed against bathroom and loads of room to rol across the floor-literally!
At the end of the day..brighton is an immense experience..the pier was superb, walk to the marina if you can, have a cup of tea in the lanes..and definitely have fish and chips and cookies from Ben's Cookies-triple choc all the way!

This hotel is right in the center of Brighton and fairly close to the waterfront which is good. Unfortunately it has no parking of its own so you have to use the NCP carpark behind but if you give your ticket to the hotel desk they will stamp it and you pay £8 for 24 hours instead of the full price.

The checkin was typical premier travel inn that I have come to expect - of barely average service. We approached someone who seemed free who said "I'll be back soon" - we never saw him again. After waiting for about five minutes we were finally attended to by someone else who checked us in.

We got our first taste of the elevators here, which are really really terrible. They need to be completely reconfigured or replaced. Pressing the button has no effect on an elevator that isn't moving, but finally one at a floor further away will slowly trundle down. Also they have a habit of stopping for people who have chosen the other direction or passing you when you're waiting and it is going in the same direction!!!???

After getting to our room it smelt strongly of cigarette smoke (We had requested a non-smoking room). The cold tap for the bathroom sink didn't work and the fan in the room was broken. So not a very good introduction. I rang the front desk and they told us to come down so they could "see what could be done".

Finally we got a new room which was nice and clean, didn't smell, had a working fan and bathroom tap. We endured the lifts on more occasions though often we would simply walk down five flights of stairs as it was faster.

The breakfast the next day was an interesting affair. It became apparent very quickly that there were no tongs at all for anything, not for the toast, not for the pastries, not for the muffins, not for the croissants. Apart from being rather unhygenic I also objected to having to stick my hand into the bottom section of the hot toaster to retrieve my toast.

I asked the girl about tongs and she simply told me that I can reach in to get my toast - great.

I don't think I'll be staying at any premier travel Inn hotels in the future, I much prefer Holiday Inn Express when comparing the two.

No hesitation in reccomending this hotel. The room that I had was large warm and comfortable and well looked after. the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was standard hotel fare. I was in a room at the back of the hotel, I heard that rooms at the front were not as quiet. I would stay again on any return to Brighton as it is also in a good location. Would also suggest that anyone staying here takes a walk up to a pub called the Evening Star just down from the station for a superb selection of beers.
