"The manager at the hotel is very friendly and accommodating, which made my stay enjoyable. However, during heavy winds, the noise can be quite loud and made it difficult to sleep. It would be great if some soundproofing measures could be added to improve the experience. Overall, a good stay!”
We had a great stay at a very convenient and clean hotel. The rooms are small (if you are from the US) but traditional in the UK. Richard was a great host. We could walk out the front door and up and down the shore line.
After an accident they changed our room to a lower floor looked after us extremely well. Help with everything we needed.
Every thing with in 5 mins walking distance, supermarket , Pub ,laundry, takeaway Indian Restaurant. Close to beach.
We were due to stay 2 nights ended staying for 5 nights ,great price for location and service.
Sadly, my experience staying at Marine View was nowhere near as good as I expected, especially after seeing so many positive reviews. Honestly, I find it hard to believe some of those high ratings are genuine.
The condition of the bathroom was very poor.
The bathroom walls were mouldy and stained, and the door was sticking — it clearly needed a proper clean and a fresh coat of paint. The toilet was leaking, and someone had shoved a white towel underneath it to stop the leak.
We had booked an ensuite room, but the space was so cramped that it was difficult to sit comfortably on the toilet. There was hardly any space to move around in either the bedroom or the bathroom.
I’ve just returned from a weekend away and the difference between the two hotels is massive — Marine View really doesn’t compare. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone visiting brighton.
The room and service was excellent but I just dont like their shower, it is so hard to control and balance the water temperature. It could either be too cold or too hot. Overall, our stay was really nice. The staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Booked a double room for the 3 of us (2 adults and an infant) for a weekend. The entrance is very tight and has only stairs so not accessible to weelchairs, it was not easy for the pram as well. The facilities described on the ad are just not there, forget the easy parking (we spent hours to find parking closed to the hotel for £18 per day making sure to don't move the car) and the marine view. The room was extremely small and very dirty with an awful view to a bad mantained back yard. The host offered us a travel cot for our baby (as per our booking) but immediately took back the offer as the room was way to small to place it so we ended up using the cot of our pram placing it on top of the table securing it with a chair ending up on surveilling the cot without having a proper sleep. It was complimentary the usual kettle and small assortment of tea and soluble coffee which we used the first morning but not able to use the second day as somone forgot to replace the cups. Unfortunately there is no opportunity to add any pic to this review to show the condition of the room and of the view as we took some once we arrived.
Positive points:
1 The bed linen were clean
2 The host was very friendly
3 The location very central and close to the beach
Unfortunately not enough to book here again!
