Kings Hotel

Enjoyed my stay at this hotel - the location is great just opposite the old West Pier - which makes for some awesome photos. 15 minute walk down to the town/main pier which is nice - though refreshing given our stay was in January. The hotel did the job for a bargain price - saw the sights, drank the beer, bought the records and got my head down. Few […] criticisms: The website tells you a taxi will cost £3.50 from the station - it won't, we did it both ways at a cost of around £8 each time. The walls are very thin and you can hear everyone around you - not a problem if you're going to have a few jars and hit the sack - but not one for a business trip I'm sure (at this point I should congratulate the man in the room next door - apparently slow and steady does in some cases really does win the race). The bar downstairs was dead (though it is very much out of season) but still refused to take card for under £10, charged more for a pint than any bar in Brighton and it was a fuss to get the tab put on my room. Not very trusting but maybe they've been burned in the past (they had a card yet insisted on more details?) Aside from the above the hotel did exactly as we asked of it, spent minimal time there - didn't wake up in time for breakfast so cannot comment. Leer más

The reception staff were very helpful on arrival as we had messed up the booking and arrived a day early. We had a top floor room which was just as you come out the lift. The room was a bit small but adequate for our needs, it was clean and tidy and the towels were soft and fluffy, It only had shower not bath. The first morning we had the cooked breakfast […] which was fine - again adequate and nicely cooked. My only critism (and it might have been just this room) would be that there seems to be an air duct in the roof that made a knocking noise - at first we throught it was the old windows rattling with the wind in the room next door. It was OK but woke us up both mornings so wasn't the restful stay it was supposed to be. We paid a good price though so it was a fairly cheap couple of days. The hotel is situated about ten mins walk along the sea front so fairly central. Leer más

We have stayed at this hotel three or four times now and will continue to do so.. Good service with comfortable rooms and a convenient location for us. On our last and most recent trip we had our new baby with us, The hotel was still a good choice.

I stayed there with a friend for six days and I was totally satisfied. The hotel is about 5 min away from Churchill Square and directly on the Seafront. We only booked the room without breakfast and even tough the room was quite small we had a great time. The only disadvantage was that we only had one blanket but it was big enough so we didn't mind […] and we stayed for 5 nights only. It's not a luxury hotel but it's great for young people that go out a lot and just wanna have fun in Brighton. Leer más

We like the level of comfort and value at this hotel as well as the convenience of the situation. We find the staff friendly and helpful and like the bar and dining areas. The bedding is crisp white cotton and the uneven floors merely a sign of the age of the building. We often come back here as we prefer it to other more pretentious hotels. Despite […] a few odd jobs needed and the lift having an off day on arrival, the seaside setting and warm welcome will bring us back again soon. Thankyou! Leer más

We stayed in the Pavilion room which was very pleasant - lovely and light. Decent sized bathroom and quite spacious. Very comfortable bed. Decor of common areas is elaborate black and white. Breakfast was brilliant - chosen from a menu. The fresh fruit and yoghurt was beautifully presented on a white plate with a black napkin and comprised a good selection […] of berries, grapes, citrus fruit, kiwi and melon. Tables were quickly and well cleaned between sitters. The only thing I could fault was that the breakfast tea on the second day was not served as hot as I would have liked. I enjoyed my stay and would go again,. Leer más

good location and cheap.

We've enjoyed our stay and would come again :)

no problems ,good value ,good breakfast and the lift was working

Great location & reasonable price. No parking available for me but NCP nearby. Room was very small (am not a fan of single beds) and shower was a bit disappointing.

Overall I was not dissatisfied with this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful and all requests were dealt with promptly. I have had better 'full English' breakfasts but it it was adequate. The problem was the fact that the lift was not working and it had been out of commission for some time. I had booked the weekend break as a treat for my […] 80 year old parents but having to walk up four flights of stairs was just too much for them and took the edge off what otherwise was a really enjoyable experience.

Me and my boyfriend recently stayed at this hotel for a few days. Everything was really good but it was a bit out of the road of everything so we'd consider staying more in the city next time. When we arrived at the hotel staff told us the lift was broke but would be fixed the following day. It was a bit of a disappointment as it didntworkthe whole […] time we were there. The radiator and tv in the room only worked as and when they wanted to too. That was a disappointment too because its december, the coldest month of the year! Other than them couole of points the hotel room/bed was very comfortable, clean and tidy. Leer más

Lift was broken, which was a bit of a nuisance, but was being mended just as we checked out! Hope it works now! Stayed in newly decorated room, really nice interior, but thin walls!

the lift was out of order and my room was on the 4th floor, so it was quite a lots of stairs to climb, the direction to the lift and stairway was confusing. the radiator in the bathroom was on which makes the room really really hot. One of the staff wasn't very helpful as the girl had difficult to find me details on the systems, maybe he got out at […] the wrong of the bed that day. If I have to stay at this hotel again it will only be for 1 night. Leer más

Room quite confortable, friendly staff, well locatted 10 mins walk from train station and easy to find. Being on the 4th floor is was quite annoying the fact that the lift was out of order. Moreover, you can easly get lost on your way out of the room as there are not that many signs showing the way out. hard to find the main stairs and easy to find […] your self on the secondary stairs which lead you to other rooms.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay for the 3 nights. The Breakfasts were more than excellent with the great variety. Unfortunately, the Lift was not working which made it very difficult for me wife and I who cannot walk unaided but the weather was atrocious also which was not the fault of the Kings All the Staff were most helpful at all times whichmade […] the Break so enjoyable Leer más

The hotel was clean enough but it was quite basic and not really what it looked like in the pictures. When we arrived which was at about 4pm we were told that not many rooms were ready so we were given one on the top floor. Although we had a lovely sea view, the lift was out of service so we had to walk up 4 flights of stairs so it wasn't that grea […] t. Leer más

Whilst the staff were very pleasant and polite the hotel is desperately in need of a thorough 'face lift' The carpet in our room was badly stained and was most unpleasant. We were on the 4th Floor and for the time we were there the lift was broken. The lift, I understand, had been out of order for a few days prior to our visit I was assured by the manager […] that the hotle was in the process of being refurbished but could I suggest that they do not allocate rooms to customers until this has taken place. The hotel is ideally placed and there are plenty of good places to eat close by. . Leer más

I was worried about the recent poor reviews but apart from the lift still not working and our room being small for a double and on the fourth floor! Our stay was very pleasant the hotel was very quiet most of the other guest were middle aged. The breakfast both service very well staffed and slick run breakfast room and delicious freshly cooked food. […] The hotel double booked our car park space but refunded us and were apologetic also our room cleaning was forgotten however quickly housekeeping came to the rescue with clean towels tea and coffee etc. I found most of the staff to be extremely helpful and all spoke english which i was not led to believe from previous harsh reviews. This hotel is a bit tired but for the price and location and good breakfast its ok. Our friends room was bigger with new carpet however the bathroom was old but everything worked so no honest complaints. Fantastic chinese in lanes called Gars Leer más

Good hotel for money. excellent location but on the downside no parking outside even for short time to unload bags and book in the hotel. breakfast good.

Arrived at hotel to be told the lift wasn't working. Slight annoyance when you've had a long day and then having to carry two heavy bags up three floors. I chose hotel based on availability of wifi and that was terrible, ended up using btopenzone, which was equally as slow. Room wasn't hugely comfortable, bed was very uncomfortable and only one pillow […] which was well used and hollow. Sadly not a great stay. Leer más

We have stayed at Kings before and really like it. The staff are friendly and helpful and it is nice and clean. The only two drawbacks are the quality of the towels which are rough and hard (a good idea if you have room in your case, is to take a couple of soft towels with you), and this time the lift wasn't working - and we were on the top floor. A […] long walk when you have been walking around Brighton all morning. I don't know how they manage with disabled people. Apart from that, all good. Leer más

Dreadful. Had to leave a card deposit on check-in, which wasn't advertised on their website. Carpet was stained in room. Shower didn't work. Housekeeping don't even understand basic English. All in all, not worth the money you save staying here over the Hilton.

On the 5th floor and the lift was not working , had to carry our suitcase up Fire alarm went off in the middle of the night , then stopped , rang to ask reception if everything ok , but no answer

We only stayed one night however we were on the top floor and the lift was out of order which was rather inconvenient. We also had a bad seal on the door which meant if we had the window open (it was very hot) the room door breathed in and out with it. That aside, the hotel was clean and orderly, the staff pleasant and helpful and town is only a ten […] minute walk away so excellent location. Would recommend if the lift is working and we dont get that room again! Leer más

We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed our stay, there were a few things that could of been improved but there just minor niggles. The lift was broken when we arrived and our room was on the 4th floor and as my partner is still recouperating from a serious illness this was a problem, staff were happy to move us to a lower floor, no sea view but clean and tidy. […] Would recomend and would go back. Leer más

Excellent stay. When I arrived the room allocated had no window (single on the first floor) which was not suitable for me, but I contacted reception and they moved me straight away to a room on the fourth floor which was airy and very, very clean. The lift was out of order and likely to be for the whole of my stay (3 days) but arrangements were made […] for my luggage to be moved on arrival, moving and departure. Breakfast was help yourself to cereal and toast and then a wide choice of cooked food. Service in all areas was excellent. Thank you. Leer más

A great location for all the sights if staying for a short time. Our room was a single with a double bed! Bit tight to walk around the bed but we did have a sea view. Had a side window overlooking the sea front. Staff were good and helpful. Our room had a torn curtain and looked a bit worn out. Could not change room as hotel full. Car parking bit of […] a nightmare. Hotel car park £15 a night. But found a local one for £12.50 a night. Need to cost this in for a holiday. Recommend Regency Restaurant-great fish food and just a stroll away from hotel. Location of hotel was good. On sea front and only 10-15 mins from large shopping centre, Laines, Palace and Pier. Go for a larger room if offered-needed more room if staying longer than a weekend break. Leer más

A very pleasant hotel with very friendly staff. Food excellent and convenient for the whole town.

good hotel, particularly for price, nice staff, very clean, need to park somewhere else parking is very expensive,

Great location to get into main part of town & right on the waterfront. Lovely staff. Nice hotel breakfasts! Would return here to stay.

Comfortable place to stay. Close enough to the Lanes and other shops via 10minute brisk walk along the front, past small galleries along the beach walkway. Quiet on the whole given it was Saturday night, Bank Holiday. Staff friendly and efficient.

Hotel was as you would expect from any three star; nothing particularly spectacular but a clean, efficient and seamless effort all the same. However, I might add that a sea view room is well worth paying for; it was certainly a devasting addition, a sprawling, three-windowed affair.

Always stay at kings hotel when I,m in Brighton my first choice hotel.always friendly on check in,clean&exellent service.Y would I go any where else.valve for money.

The hotel is a bit old, but the rooms are large and comfortable. Very good a la carte breakfast. Parking costs 15 pounds a day, and when we went to park we waited over 30 minutes for someone to open, but they never came. There is a cheaper public parking at regent square. It is about 20 minutes walk from the pier and main attractions. The lift did not […] work properly, and could only carry 3 people. Leer más

This is a well kept hotel with pleasant staff and a good breakfast close to the local sites. However the bedroom although stylishly decorted was a little small and had very thin walls!

A decently-run place, staff always polite & helpful, rooms kept very clean - little to find fault with really. Location fine for us - a pleasant walk along the front takes you to anything you want to visit, Lift is small and slow so use the stairs ! It's good for you anyway. You might expect to find a minibar in a "superior room" or water coolers.

Generally good conditions. Not having the lift go to the floor we were on was inconvenient ; having to drag heavy suitcases up a flight of stairs was not well received. Also room numbering was misleading. We were in room 107 which appeared to be between floors 1 & 2. I realize it is difficult with the old Victorian Buildings having limited parking facilities, […] but having to park 4 streets away was a bit of a turn-off. Leer más

Very Welcoming and friendly establishment. A little noisy at times within room due to basement allocation, single glazed windows and clientel within local neigbourhood. Overall a somewhat positive stay - very convenient for purpose of visit to Brighton. Would stay again but with different room allocation.

Breakfast was good, with options. Room was clean and comfortable. Across the street is the beach. It was great.

First impressions of the hotel very good, lovely reception area with very friendly staff. I booked a double sea view room which was very clean although could do with an update as some aspects very dated. Once again staff very friendly at breakfast and for the location of the hotel would definitely stay again.

We stayed mid-week for just 2 nights in June 2011. The hotel is well located on the sea front a short walk away from the pier and the high street. I would actually say it's at the correct end of Brighton, away from the noise of any nightlife. But the standard room we picked was very disapointing, having taken the lift to floor 2 we walked through hotel […] corridors and up stairs towards the back were I questioned if we were in staff quarters! The room itself was clean tidy and everything worked, but the floor was loose with creaking floor boards, getting out of bed you felt like you were walking down hill then back up hill towards the en-suite. Oh and the room above us, you could hear every step they took including running water from the shower. My wife has just reminded me that the hair-dryer in the room was next to useless, she would have been better walking down the pier to dry her hair. To be fair the building is 100's of years old but nothing which a little bit of TLC could not resolve. The room was very tired, in need of redecorating, the rotten wood windows were not apealing. All in all the hotel service, cleanliness and location was superb but let down with the room, prehaps paying extra for the other types of rooms would resolve these issues! Fantastic breakfast and helpfull friendly staff if you engage them in conversation. Not one to be discounted but maybe a phone call to the hotel about the types of rooms would not go a miss. Leer más
