Really not worth the mid week price of £109/night plus £15 breakfast spent to stay here. The room was very dated, the bathroom of student accomodation standard and the rooms service appalling. The most annoying thing about chosing this hotel was the fact that for some reason I expected the rooms to look like the ones they advertised online. On... more

We stayed at this hotel at the end of june for three nights and had a really good time. The hotel is in a great location and i would not be put out by previous reviews. I would say the hotel is not a 4 star hotel as rated and would rate it as a 3 star. The room was... more

I recently stayed in Brighton and wanted a hotel that was in a prime position, convenient for both town and beach. I was not disappointed. The hotel had excellent ammenities and leisure facilities. It gave a great "feel good" factor, particularly in the light and airy public areas. The room was a perfectly adequate size, comfortable and mine had a... more

My colleagues and I were very disappointed in the Thistle Hotel, Brighton. Air conditioning did not work and although this was pointed out on the 1st. day of our stay,we were treated as if we were just being a nuisance and therefor nothing was done for the rest of our 4 night stay. The T.V. had no Sky channels and... more

The hotel is very shabby now, the design ,with rooms around an atrium in which guests gather at around 2.30 am believing it is 2.30pm. The room I was in had no Air Con working and no Sat TV the picture was also of poor quality and the remote control did not work. Altogether a very bad stay and not... more

This was our 4th weekend trip to Brighton - but our first stay at the Thistle having previously always stayed at the Old Ship. Having read the reports prior to our break I was a little apprehensive, ie. air-con not working, broken hairdryer, TV not working and was having second thoughts. All concerns were unfounded! The 2 night stay (Friday/Saturday)... more

Prior to my stay at the Thistle Brighton last week, I had seen the reviews on here, some of which are negative in the extreme. This does not reflect my experience. I booked at 3 nights for the price of 2 break directly through the Thistle website, which worked out at £46.00 per night, including full English breakfast and use... more

We booked this hotel for a one night stay for my 40th as a special treat. The very best I can say is that it is ideally situated for the beach and Brighton centre. On arrival we were told we had to wait to enter the carpark (25 minutes sitting outside the hotel). Before going out for the evening we... more

Thank you for leaving feedback on Tripadvisor. The council are currently spending over £1m upgrading their car park that is located under the hotel. It is with regret that there has been some delays to guests parking whilst these works are being completed. I am sorry that you had been cold whilst staying in your room. It is unfortunate that...

On the beach, near the centre, very classy! Best lobby ever. The tarrifs are slightly higher for the room you get -but then the deals on travel websites make it a sweet surprise. more
