Red Brighton Blue is a newly refurbished 11 bedroom boutique guest house, just off the sea front in Brighton.

It's even gently illuminated at night. • BEST BED AND BEST BREAKFAST - we believe in doing the basics really well, so in addition to our luxurious beds, pillows & duvets, we aim to offer one of the best breakfasts in Brighton too. Everything is freshly cooked to order, using the very best ingredients, locally sourced where possible, imaginatively combined into a wide range of delicious breakfast dishes, and designed to complement our breakfast buffet of fresh fruit, cereals, granola, yoghurt & freshly baked pastries, all served in our elegant dining room. • A MODERN HOTEL WITH A TRULY FRIENDLY, PERSONAL SERVICE - we aim to offer everything you expect from a good, modern, professional hotel, plus the added benefit of genuinely friendly owner managers, Peter and Steve, on hand to offer any assistance, advice or personal service that may enhance your stay in Brighton.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Newport, United Kingdom9 contributions5 helpful votes
We had a great Monday to Friday stay at Red Brighton Blue, a fabulous hotel which is spotlessly clean and decorated impeccably. It is the perfect mixture of period charm together with all the modern conveniences you could need. A variety of teas, coffee Nespresso machine, hot chocolate, biscuits and water are supplied and replenished daily. There is a large TV which includes Netflix, Alexa, good WiFi, a safe and small fridge. The beds and pillows are super comfy and the bathroom is very modern with a great shower. Steve gave us a very warm welcome and was very helpful, providing us with a map for car parking - we had arranged to purchase parking vouchers which were very useful and we were able to park just outside the hotel. The hotel is ideally situated just up the street from the seafront and within a few minutes walk of restaurants and bars and about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the town centre. We would highly recommend Red Brighton Blue and would definitely stay again if visiting Brighton in the future. Thank you Steve and Peter, there is nothing you could improve on - absolutely perfect!

There was an error with my booking but the proprietors couldn't have been more helpful, and resolved the problem quickly. The location was convenient, and the room was pristine. Yes it was tiny but the suitcase fitted under the bed! A Nespresso coffee machine was a real treat. For a short few days stay it was perfect. They don't do breakfast but there are lots of nice spots nearby. Steve and Peter are a delight and I would definitely recommend this little gem.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at RedBrightonBlue. We were welcomed in my Peter and provided with lots of useful information. Our room was clean and comfortable with toiletries and a range of drinks and snacks. The whole building seemed very well maintained. The location is good, quiet but close to everything. It took about 20-25 minutes to walk to the Brighton Centre along the seafront. Kemptown has a good variety of cafes and bars. Some offer discounts to guests of RBB, but this information is provided in the welcome email. Breakfast wasn't part of our booking but we went to Koosh just a few minutes walk away. We would recommend this b and b and would stay again if back in Brighton.

I booked this because it’s walking distance from the hotel where I needed to visit a friend… it’s also walking distance from so much else 😊 Charming and beautifully renovated building, scrupulously clean and very comfortable. I had a single room which was small but perfectly planned, everything I needed and a good shower room. (If I had one complaint it is that personally, I don’t like overhead drench showers but I know a lot of people do…) There are some excellent restaurants and coffee shops within a very short distance and Peter couldn’t have been more helpful in advising me which ones to try. All in all a very pleasant stay and heartedly recommended.

Had a great visit here. There was very warm welcome upon arrival and immediately you notice the level of cleanliness, detail, and care that has gone into Red Brighton Blue. The room was lovely and very quiet. Using the local recommendations in our room we had a lovely breakfast at one of the local coffee shops following a good night's sleep. I would 100% return.

We spent two nights at Red Brighton Blue and everything was perfect. Very welcoming hosts and the hotel itself was beautiful. Spotlessly clean and furnishings were so tasteful. Every need was catered for and we shall definitely return. Kemptown itself is a great with lovely bars and restaurants. A very friendly area.

I stayed here a few years ago and loved it, so when my brother and I were looking to stay in Brighton for one night, I didn’t hesitate to contact this guest house. Communication from Steve and Peter was quick and clear, and we were offered a complimentary upgrade for the two single rooms we booked - two double rooms at no extra cost! The rooms were lovely and clean, and the location couldn’t be better. Thank you so much for making our short stay so pleasant. We’d definitely stay again.
