DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole

DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful stay here in Aug 2026. Lovely spacious family room. Very stylish, well maintained and ckean. Comfortable beds, including the children's fold out bed. We all had a good night's sleep. Great location for sea front, west pier, i360. Short walk to town centre / lanes and Brighton Pier. Very impressed with all staff that we encountered, very friendly and helpful and made us feel very comfortable with our stay. Amazing proper customer service at its best. Loved using the pool to cool down after after a hot day exploring Brighton. You do need to be quick with booking a slot after checking in. Handy car park underneath which competitively priced for Brighton. It is tight though - not for a nervy driver or a very big car! Lovely buffet breakfast in the morning. Plenty of options and well stocked even in peak breakfast time in the summer holidays. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again."

"Superb location on the seafront. Clean and comfortable with very pleasant helpful staff throughout. Breakfast was delicious, always plentiful and beautifully presented. My room was so comfortable with excellent touches you would expect of this standard of hotel, for example free large bottles of water in the room fridge, replenished as required and proper small bottles of milk in there too. Toiletries were of a superior standard. Being a solo traveller, it was so welcome that the staff always spoke to you and made sure you had everything needed. Stayed in many hotels all over the world but this was one of the best."
