Top Brighton Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Brighton

Malmaison Brighton

8/10 Good
"We booked a sea view room and the view is nice, but there is an open balcony area accessible from all the sea view rooms on that level. This meant other guests were outside our room all night playing music and chatting loudly. We would come back to this hotel but would avoid the sea view rooms next time"
