We stayed at the Grand for 3 nights last weekend. We had stayed there on a previous occasion a few years ago and had a wonderful time, but how things have changed and we regret not checking it out on trip advisor. We were allocated a room on the fifth floor but were unable to sleep due to the fact... More

Stayed for one night, had air con unit in room but it did not work, housekeeping advised we had a room that had not been renovated so no air con, brought up a fan that did next to nothing and had a restless nights sleep as noisy from generators etc outside. Pretty disappointed considering the price we paid. On a... More

We stayed at the Grand Hotel for my hen do. Perfect location, very expensive to park this was not factored in to our budget as most hotels I have stayed on have free parking. We arrived early and our bags were kindly taken to our room but when we came back at 4 one of our rooms still was not... More

I stayed here on business twice in the last few months and have had some very mixed experiences. The Hotel is a landmark in Brighton and for somewhere so iconic it is a shame that it has been left to go past its best. The hotel is centrally placed in Brighton with both a hotel car park and an NCP... More

For such a landmark hotel, this is in a pretty poor state of repair. The furniture in my room was very scratched and worn out, and walking around you see bare wood on doors and skirting boards where the paint had just worn off. Just a small thing about British hotels that really irritates me - when you stay for... More

Thank you for your review. I am sorry that the room failed to meet your expectation. We are rectifying this situation by spending over £4 million renovating the hotel this year – with particular focus on the bedrooms. In terms of housekeeping detail I will raise this with Jakub, our Executive Housekeeper. Once again I am sorry that this detracted... More

A bit scruffy if you look up close, but the rooms were spacious and well presented. The recently refurbished rooms were very impressive. The breakfast was excellent. The choice and the quality of the food was the best I have seen in a buffet style chain hotel. The dinner was beautifully cooked - the service was very friendly, but hap... More

Thank you for your complimentary comments on Trip Advisor particularly about the quality and range of breakfast, the dinner food and the rooms. However I will pick up your comment about the service with Erwan Mauro, our restaurant manager, as there is no question it should have been anything other than seamless when so few diners were in the restaurant....

We booked this 2 night trip 5 months ago and we were really looking forward to our stay. Two days before we went we had a call to say a customer changed dates and we could not stay for the second night at the Grand. To say we were upset was un understatement.
