Best Three Star Hotels in Brighton and Hove

After travelling for 14hrs, my pregnant daughter and I were super excited to be staying in the hotel and were particularly looking forward to a swim in the hotels pool. We arrived early and there was an issue with our booking; seemingly it had been cancelled somehow. The staff were patient and helpful & offered us another room, the same size and price. They also let us access the room early. As we walked through the hotel we we're a bit surprised that it didn't quite match the grandeur in the photos. However, we were desperate to offload our luggage and pop into town to get some essentials. Upon entering our room we were shocked! The room was extremely outdated, dusty and the fixtures and fittings weren't in the heat of repair. We had specifically booked a sea view room, as were coastal girls and wanted to enjoy the view. The windows were filthy and our view was stilted just dirt and grime. Being coastal, we do appreciate the effects of the salt from the sea on the windows, but - this was beyond what would be reasonably expected. We decided to weather it as we were both too tired and thought things might seem brighter after a swim. Sadly, this wasn't to be. The pool - although advertised as 'heated' - was freezing and we couldn't manage very long. This was so disappointing as we had been so looking forward to using the pool and winding down. We headed back up to the room to warm up and try to make the best of the situation. Again, this didn't happen. The room was freezing, with no heating accessible to turn up. My daughter (22 weeks pregnant) had chattering teeth and it was all just too much. We packed up and headed down to the reception to check out. We'd spent less than 2 hours in the hotel! We explained the issues to reception who were, to their credit, understanding. They did offer us the use of another, upgraded room but given the state of the room we had just vacated we didn't think it worth risking another shot. We had our refund processed, thanked the staff and left. The staff, as a whole, were faultless - especially a lady who I think was relatively new to the role. The Manager assured us that the hotel is going to be undergoing a refit but that wasn't much help to us at that time. It's such a shame that the hotel is so substandard! It's a beautiful shell, fantastic location and offers such amazing views. But, our experience means we will refrain from ever visiting the hotel again, and couldn't ever recommend it. For £250 for one night it's just not ok.

Such a good clean hotel and the staff are very friendly and the room is big and so tidy and we had a really great experience at this hotel and we would definitely book again next month and good entertainment in the evening we stay for 2 nights the first night was bingo then the second night we had a live band and the food is good too and it’s an easy hotel to get too so thank you for the 2 nights we stayed there

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights at the Kings. We enjoyed every minute. The staff were all friendly, helpful and did everything to make our stay just perfect. Our double room was large,beautifully clean and very comfortable. Breakfasts were great with plenty of choice and in a delightful bright breakfast room. The Kings is ideally located on the seafront. We will definitely be back. Thanks to all the staff at the Kings Hotel.

Our stay at Britannia Study Hotel was lovely. The staff were friendly and approachable, the room was clean and reasonably priced, check in/check out was quick and easy. We arrived a few hours before check in and were allowed to go to our room early to store our luggage which was a nice surprise, when we got into the room we were taken aback by how clean and well laid out it was. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the facilities good. Overall, the room was fantastic, the location is perfectly central and the value for money is great. However, outside of our window was some sort of ventilation/cooling unit which was incredibly loud and came on intermittently all day and night, and was loud even with the windows shut. Lack of AC in the middle of June did not help the situation as we needed the windows open through the night. A stand-fan was provided but we were unsure about leaving it on through the night. Facilities in the room were good, sockets by the beds is always good and a desk and chair were provided. However, the chair was stained and so we decided not to use it. This is the only place where the cleanliness slipped.

Very nice cozy rooms but very small

The hotel is a little hard to find as it’s in a row of a few of them, parking is outside but I chose to park a mile away, Brighton is fun for parking and there was a marathon event on so I couldn’t get to the road the hotel was on if I wanted to The hotel itself is nice enough, the rooms are themed, mine was marakesh, which was pretty much a lamp The room was clean and tidy, but very small, with a view of some walls opposite, but that was all ok, I only stayed for one night The shower was nice and hot and they gave free shampoo and shower gel and the lady on reception put the heating on, which as it was freezing outside (and in my room until i turned the radiator on) it was appreciated The bed was nice and comfy with about 6 pillows I booked this hotel directly and it was the best price I could find If you want a stay right near the sea you can’t go wrong with sea spray, only other comment was my room was up loads of steep stairs so if you don’t handle stairs well it might not be for you

Close to the sea, the first floor has its own bar, free breakfast is good, the reception staff are very welcoming. Very satisfied family hotel

First time in Brighton here. Lovely place but there were a few things Paskins did that made things harder than they should be. There was no issue getting in the door with the code you put in the keypad. But particularly what there was an issue with was the locks on the door of my actual room, I tried to get members of staff to aid in showing me how not to get it jammed but no matter which way I turned the key it would not unlock, mostly every time I tried to ask for them to actually get my key out my door so I could leave my hotel (because obviously I needed to leave it to explore) there was a vibe of sighing and contempt which I didn't really appreciate seeing as I was paying £130 for two nights!! I had to sometimes sleep with my key stuck in the door at night which is awkward. (Solo traveller makes it extra dodgy!) There was also no soap both nights, luckily I brought hand sanitizer because of covid, had my room cleaned too and there still was zero soap. I was looking forward to receiving the infamous 'ritzy rolls' (pastries guests apparently got) I saw on TripAdvisor prior to going but both nights I never received one, I thought originally it was because the first night I went out early for breakfast but I slept in late prior to leaving the second and I still didn't get one. It is nice decorated but having a belittling tone to paying customers will not help your business grow so next time I go back to Brighton, I will be going somewhere else!
