Rooms and furnishings very basic. Shower smelly and with no shower curtain so water went all over the place. Terribly noisy so a good sleep was impossible and it was not possible to have the window open. Trading on its ‘gay’ name only but nothing to recommend it.open more

My partner Tom and I have drunk several times at the Amsterdam and needed to stay at Brighton for a couple of nights so it seemed perfect sense to stay at this hotel. We had no problems booking in and were very surprised at how clean and pleaseant the boutique room was. This coupled with how Very friendly all the... more

I really don't know where the negative reviews have come from, about the hotel being uninviting or not clean etc. I think that those people stayed at a different hotel. Me & my husband stayed for 4 days in may 2009 & i can't find enough words to say how fantastic the Amsterdam was. Our room was gorgeous & spotlessly... more

Nice-looking small hotel right on the seafront by the pier, yards from clubs and within easy walking distance of all the other fun stuff. Breakfast was good; the lack of fry-up mildly disappointed my partner but as a stuffy vegan I was thrilled to have more than one option available. Standing directly on the seafront there's always going to be... more

Having been looking forward to staying at this hotel, I was firstly very disapointed with the whole check in experience, what a distaster. The young man behind the desk firstly overcharged us and then give us a back room when we had asked for a sea view, the room was a disgrace, as a non smoker we were given a... more

We stayed at The Amsterdam on a Saturday night in February and were very happy with the room and the service. The room had a brilliant view of the pier and out to sea, the bed was very comfortable, it was clean and had everything we needed (apart from a hairdryer). The staff we encountered, from the front desk to... more

My partner and I have stayed at the Amsterdam a couple of times and have really enjoyed our stays. We were a little dubious before booking as it is advertised as a gay hotel, but we were treated really well the whole time. The reason we booked the amsterdam was it is one of the few places in Brighton that... more

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for the second time and enjoyed it very much. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is very close to main gay venues and the sea. Don't expect fresh towels every day though and it is normally very noisy outside at night... but who sleeps at night while visiting Brighton in... more

After looking at The Amsterdam's website I decided to book a room there for a mid week break. On arrival at Brighton station, the taxi driver knew just were to take me, he also assured me that I would have a lovely time. On arrival I was met by friendly staff who appologized for the refurbishment currently going on. Must... more
