Top South Downs Way Hotel Reviews

West Beach Hotel Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"Really loved this hotel. Well located with a fabulous sea view. Staff were very helpful. Only started 1 night but will return. Good value for money too."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

8/10 Good

"Big clean well appointed room, super breakfast, friendly helpful staff, and perfect location for beach, pier, and “the lanes” area with great pubs, restaurants, and colourful shops. Could us an update on sofa and carpeting but not a big deal to us."

ibis Brighton City Centre - Station

8/10 Good

"Ideal location next to the railway station and an easy walk to the lanes and the beach. Staff were very helpful, although it appeared that there were often too few of them, and were a bit overwhelmed. Room was typical Ibis, reasonably basic, pod style bathroom, but clean and great value for money. Breakfast was okay, food could have been warmer, but no real complaints, it compares with other hotels in this price point. We have relatives in Brighton, and will use this hotel for future visits."
