I give this place 3.5/5. We went yesterday as part of a Tesco promotion so would have been £140 which I would have been very annoyed about. I think this place is worth about half that. Had a really nice time, as has been said the location is absolutely superb, right near the lanes and loads of bars and eateries... more

Hotel looked lovely, secure parking, loveley clean room although extremeley hot later in the evening. Most of the staff were helpfull, my main problem was with some of the security men. They done nothing when a fight started in the room next door to myself, they just stood in the hallway and threatened to knock out other guests as they... more

We spent Friday night at the Thistle when visiting friends in Brighton. Overall the stay was disappointing and we felt agrieved at having to pay the £119 room rate. The good points: the location of the hotel is excellent for shops, nightlife, seafront and pier. However there are many hotels in the same location and next time we will definately... more

I stayed here for a saturday night. I was given a discount after complaining to the company about the state of another Thistle Hotel in Heathrow (see older review!). Following my experience with the other Thistle hotel, I was a bit nervous about the Brighton hotel after reading some of the somewhat disappointing reviews on this site. I was given... more

After staying at a 'very tired' Grand Hotel on our last visit to Brighton we opted for The Thistle and found it much better value for money. It has a fabulous location. Exit the front of the hotel and you are on the seafront, exit the back and directly into The Lanes. We were upgraded to a sea view room... more

We stayed in a delux room which had a very good sea view on the front in an excellent location. The room was a good size including sofa and two chairs in the bay window. Offer included the evening meal which was 8/10 served by very attentive staff. No need to wear a tie but be smart casual. The breakfast... more

Stayed here whilst at a conference being held 5 mins down the road at the Hilton. First impressions were not great, the car park is very small and the lift that serves the hotel was out of order, the other lift resembled something from a 60's Russian tower block. Alot of the rooms face into the central atrium area so... more

Stayed in a family room with my elderly mother to visit a friend in hospital - arrived late, wandered around the Lanes and had a late thai meal next door which was very jolly, good room, two 4' beds which were very comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. Bathroom looked a bit the worse for wear. However ...... more

This hotel is not cheap. In terms of cost to the guest. But it is clearly cheap to run. And it looks very cheap. Having had a bad experience at the "Quality Hotel" I thought I would splash out on something a bit better, in the hope that it would not smell. Unfortunately, the peculiar rotten carpet smell of the... more
