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."

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."

Harbour Hotel Brighton

"If I am in Brighton this is the hotel where I will stay. On the beach, walkable, and straight walk to Train station or National Express bus to Airports. Not my first stay at this hotel, hopefully not my last."

"I stayed one knight for business. So close from the Brighton station. My room was large enough and cosy. I was very pleased that a hotel clerk was able to recognise me when I came back to pick up my luggage I had left after check out. I would say you can’t expect a lovely breakfast."
