I booked this hotel for myself, my partner and seven other family members when we stayed in Brighton to see a show. It was the first time I had used this hotel and only booked it as they advertised having single rooms which was required for one of our party. I was very disappointed that I did. The first impressions... more

Being placed in this hotel without a choice due to our original hotel whom had overbooked us. This hotel was in a fairly good location within walking distance of the pier and the staff was fairly helpful and willing to assist. The rooms were a decent size and clean but it was very warm and had a few missing basic... more

My friend and i booked a night at Hilton Metropole, however they had over booked themselves so moved us to Kings hotel. When we arrived first impression was pretty good, modern reception, bar and restaurant area. Unfortunately our room was the opposite, it was clean but very basic and very stuffy even though itwasnt hot outside. The room was basic... more

We stayed for one night and although the reception looked ok the room was the worst we have ever stayed in. The only reason we didn't leave was because it was clean. The tiles in the bathroom had been painted! the shower was falling off the wall! the floor was very uneven and really badly fitted, there was a dent... more

Pros: Location, Decent Breakfast, Friendly European Staff, nice letter telling us about a wedding reception happening in the evening. Cons: Very small room, only one bedside table, no alarm clock, tiny TV, very expensive, no information about the hotel or Brighton in the room more

Stayed here on the night of our wedding day and we didn't have any complaints. It's not the Ritz but nor does it pretend to be. Our room was a superior one and was really big, bright and clean with fab views over the seafront. We looked at quite a few other hotels locally in person and found this to... more

Brighton hotels are EXPENSIVE. This hotel was reasonable (in Brighton terms) at £90 per night - and we paid an extra tenner to upgrade to a bigger room (on their website they show four poster beds etc). On check in, we went into our room and it was TINY. I was sure there was a mistake so went back and... more

Really expensive for what we got, putting it mildly. Disgusting coffee, tea & breakfast generally. TV broken. Incredibly rude. Make you pay as you arrive, which tells you everything. We couldn't park outside because of 2x yellow lines, so pulled into car park right by the side of the hotel to dump luggage and got clamped while going into the... more
