Agree with others in that the hotel is looking tired in parts including the room we were allocated. Large room on the side with frosted windows and no natural light.Bathroom a little tatty.Staff were extremely polite and helpful. Entrance was very grand with a small bar and lounge area. Excellent location if you are visiting the Brighton Centre as it's... more

We were three couples away for 1 night for a 50th birthday treat. The hotel was late in having our rooms ready on time, although offered us pre-dinner drinks by way of apology. Rooms were spacious and clean, beds huge + comfy although another pillow or two would have been nice. Big bright bathroom and plenty of towels + toiletries... more

First stay at the Grand and it was excellent. Great position , good room with a huge bed. Side room but could see sea and wreck of West Pier. Stayed two nights Sunday and Monday so got a fantastic discount. Breakfast was brilliant. Recommend Eggs Benedict -- and everything else!. Easy walking distance of everyhwere you need to be in... more

This was my fourth stay at the Grand. I was unhappy with my room on the last visit which had a view of the multi-storey car park and was very small. However, as I enjoy the location I decided to give the hotel another try and this time stayed in a suite. This was spread over two floors, 7th and... more

Fancied a night away and chose the Grand for its location, history and supposed-five-star status. No way is this place a 5* hotel. The service is indifferent at best, the room was drap, worn out, dark, depressing. There was no attention to detail, and since when did a half-decent hotel expect you to toast your own toast at breakfast? The... more

I have recently returned from a long week-end at the Grand Hotel with my husband and his 89 year old mother. There are a few steps at the entrance to the hotel which my mother-in-law found a little difficult, but apart from that check-in was very efficient. We were allocated two adjacent rooms on the first floor which were comfortable.... more

We stayed at this hotel a couple of days this summer, after booking ahead on the phone, getting a very gread deal (£99 including breakfast per night (extra for parking) in a big double room with 2 extra beds for my two small children, but no seaview). Upon arrival we where told that we had been given a free upgrade... more

Stayed at this hotel early October 2009. Reserved a sea view room - but this was unacceptable to us. Moved (at extra cost) to a larger balcony sea view room which was O.K. No air conditioning and no heating (radiators would not operate). Room service was quite good but the charges are London based. Breakfast is very, very good. Well... more

Slightly reticent about booking here after seeing the mixed reviews, but I guess it's just a case of you get what you pay for. We paid more for a better room, and we got more, it was excellent. It's also in a great location. No complaints at all, and the staff were superb throughout. Have been to many great hotels... more
