Queens Hotel

Lovely spacious ‘apartment’ to suit our needs. Not quite sure why both sofa beds were made up (probably to give us a choice and of course easily put away and when requested a tidy up was done). Storm Amy caused havoc! The Victorian building sprung a couple of leaks above the windows. Night staff quickly helped. Maria’s immediate reaction was to move us but I said no need. The young man (manager knows who you are) who provided towels etc was so respectful and apologetic. Nobody’s fault but very pleased that the duty manager refunded our breakfast cost to reciprocate our understanding. Very nice touch.

Lovely upgraded room. Very clean, comfy bed! Little tired in places. Extremely helpful staff! Amazing view!

Room accessibility was poor. No tissues in room. Toilet paper the size of postage stamps. Breakfast cooked items were cold.

Friendly staff, good sized room. Slight issue with old bathroom door, and was a bit upset that the bar area really made a thing of cleaning up and closing from 9.20 pm onwards, a bit off putting. Otherwise a good stay, large, friendly hotel.

Great central hotel. Family room was great for 4 adults. Room was a good size. With electric fans which was great as it was hot. Lots of tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room, Very clean too. Would recommend

My first night was a bit grim. My room overlooked a couple of clubs and was incredibly noisy all night. The wonderful reception staff (Liz in particular) managed to move me for the rest of my stay and they did me proud. The hotel itself is clean, and my room was quiet, spacious, with loads fo wardrobe space, a comfy be and hot shower. The hotel is well situated - right on the seafront and backing onto the Lanes. Perfect.

Good location, Fast WiFi. Rooms are spacious and clean, they actually smelled nice. I was disappointed that there was no AC or fridge in the room considering that it was a family room and we had a baby and an autistic child whose food needed to be stored; and also for the price we paid . We spoke to staff about it and they told us that we could t have access to the kitchen. They gave us a medical fridge that couldn't even store a water bottle 😩 we checked in our second room around 4:30pm because it wasn't ready. however our room attendant was nice and very helpful and we enjoyed the leisure activities. We were also able to store our luggage in a safe room after check out until we left the hotel around 6pm.

This hotel had wonderful views and the staff were very friendly. However the condition of the hotel was pretty worn. The beds were not very comfortable and the sofa bed mattresses were super uncomfortable. Our room generally needs some TLC. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way, the carpets were really stained, and all the furniture was pretty dated.

Was a lovely old building in its day. Rooms are very dated but clean. Breakfast staff seemed more concerned about time than making sure their guests were happy. I asked for a couple of veggie sausages. These came out cremated. You wouldn't give them to a dog.

Always enjoyed staying here. Price point is excellent for what you get.

Plants need a dust and outside windows need washed.

Overrated and not good value Room comfortable but shower was dangerously hot and hard to use (wasteful), the TV offered was scant and the noise from adjoining pub and pedestrian crossing was terrible. The staff were variously ineffectually helpful or (at breakfast) surly. Overall disappointing

Near to the beach. The pool is not heated at all.

The staff was good. Helpful. The room we had was on the 3rd floor, in the back and there are clubs nearby. Extremely noisy ALL night. As there is no air conditioning we had to leave the window open, which made it impossible to avoid the noise.

Great Location, very good place to stay, highly recommend it, would lile to visit again to this place, very friendly staff members and great service

Lovely stay, staff friendly and very helpful, we had an issue with our room quickly and smoothly room changed, New room clean and lovely only thing is room very hot fan supplied however cable so sort it wouldn’t reach anywhere near the beds and with the limited plugs. But this would not us staying in the future. Good choice of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, water in the room. Breakfast was amazing, one of the best, the sausages appeared proper butchers nice ones, mushrooms lovely, even fried bread, fruit yogurt, pastry’s all lovely. Pool was lovely and wonderful addition to our stay, the only issue I have is I wished we stayed longer Thank you

The room was very clean, bed comfy. It looked like it had recently been decorated. Some of the furniture could do with a little TLC but functional. Bathroom immaculate. The hotel itself was tidy and clean but again in need of some TLC. Breakfast was varied and plentiful, very nice. Staff were all helpful and very polite. All in all it was a very pleasant stay.

Lovely hotel!

We go to Brighton yearly for the Racing Festival and this was the first time we stopped at Queens Hotel. It was lovely. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. The room when we went in was bigger than I expected, with everything in it. Very clean and a beautiful uninterrupted view of the sea. (We've lived for 70 years in the heart of England, only seeing the sea when we go away). Kettle, Iron & Board, lovely thick fluffy towels, nice pillows and a firm bed, finishing with blackout curtains. A big fan in the wardrobe along with a safe and hairdryer. The shower wasn't the most powerful, but was adequate. I did have problems getting out of the bath (after having a shower the first day,) as I'm not tall, but managed the other days, Breakfast was plentiful, choosing from a full English to Continental, although you did have to hunt around the shelves for different items. Also Oat Milk, which was brilliant. Two lifts going up to the rooms, one or two people with walking sticks and a couple of rollators who didn't seem to have problems. Slightly noisy, but as we have always stopped on the sea front, we take our ear plugs with us. Very close to the pier and within walking distance of the Lanes and Churchill Shopping Centre. Plenty of places to eat near, and a few 'interesting pubs'!! Next time we stop (as we will go back for the racing next year, we are going to have a Tower Room. Thanks to Dom for taking me around ❤️.

Near the seaside.Good hotel

Overall good stay for the weekend, health spa wasn’t too busy which was nice, great location in Brighton central to everything and the staff are super friendly and helpful. My only negative was the hard mattress and that I forgot to pack earplugs - noisy drunk people and seagulls!

Staff were pleasant and helpful, breakfast was good but as is often the case with Victorian seasides, room very much faded and worn for quite an expensive price - and at one stage the lights blew and were out for an hour.

The view was amazing. The room was incredibly spacious and clean.

Our room was opposite a strip Club and a night club so we got zero sleep . Maybe the other side of the hotel is better but our room was the noisiest stay I’ve ever had

The staff are exceptionally friendly - especially Harvey (sp?) on reception who made a super fuss of my 7year when we checked in. It was a lovely start to a perfect stay.

Location could not be faulted. Staff friendly and helpful. Room good size but could do with a touch up on paint and wallpaper. Beds very comfortable and good facilities in room. Safe, iron, fan etc

The room we booked is a triple bed room. Unfortunately when we reach our room, there was a 5,6 steps stairs right in front of our room. Which is difficult for our pushchair. They should assume that we will need something step free as we asked for a cot, which was prepared before we checked in. In our room there is a working demolition site right in front of our only window. As there is no air con and the fan provided is dangerous for our 1 years old, we cannot really stay in that room with the window opened. Not to mention it does not have the said refrigerator in the bedroom. We had to ask to change the room. The rooms we were offered were another triple room on the 4th floor but still facing the same demolition site, or extra £40-50 for other rooms that has sea views and larger with a proper fridge. We ended up paying £40 more for another room. Despite the receptionist said the rooms was offered with discount already, I think we should have the upgrade for free. If it wasn't the staff is helpful and polite, and the room is clean and comfy, we would have take the same day train later that night for our son's sake.

We had a sea view room. Great view. The hotel is in a perfect location for Brighton, however the room was tired and in desperate need of updating. Shower worked well and tv had YouTube but the furniture was worn there was deterioration due to age throughout the room with curtains off books, windows falling apart and a general stale smell. Not cheap at £160 p/n without breakfast.

Very old and tired. If room is facing the main road, be prepared to hear the traffic till early morning. There is no air conditioning just a fan given in the room. Bet old worn out carpets and cracked toilet and bath tub. Swimming pool is very small and shallow. The steam room is not hot enough and both sauna and steam room are small. From the pool, you need to walk through the gym to get to the sauna area. No robe is provided.

As Americans we prefer A/C but it was not too hot outside so not bad inside.

Perfect location, very close to the beach and the pier. Friendly staff & nice breakfast. The pool was a great addition. Highly recommend

Lovely stay here. Pool entry is complimentary on your stay. The room was a good size, bedding was comfy. We were upgraded on the house also and got a lovely sea view.

It was amazing family room and not so noisy. Breakfast was brilliant will come back and ask for same room. But they can update the furniture in the room have comfy chairs and improve in the pressure of the shower. But great location.

Very old and tired but right on the beachfront. Staff weren’t that helpful- had to sign a form to get a bottle of water frozen (needed it for after the marathon).

Room was very stuffy & humid also very dull and dated. Could do with major upgrade Breakfast was ok nothing special Swimming Pool was good I didn’t think it was very good value for the money and have had better for less at other hotels. Wont be staying again

Parking was very inconvenient

Staff were not overly friendly

No complaints staff very friendly and helpful. Room very clean and comfy would definitely stay there again

Thank you very much.

Friendly front desk team. Considering our room overlooked a very busy club and pub, the noise was blocked out and we’d have never had known ( got up for a wee and the bathroom window wasn’t sound proofed to showed how good the room windows were at 3am!). Great location. Bathroom looked tired and in need of redecoration but the bedroom was clean, large and well decorated. Will come again.

We had an amazing few days in Brighton. The hotel was wonderful , our room was huge, spotless & the beds were very comfortable! The hotel is in a perfect location and we could walk to all tourist attractions. I would definitely recommend staying here

We had a brilliant time staying at this property. When we checked in our initial room wasn’t quite what we expected, we called reception and they promptly sorted this out giving us an amazing room. Absolutely fantastic staff and service. Will come back here again : )

We had a really good time apart from we didn’t realise that the GYM and SP wasn’t available it wasn’t clear when we booked.

Fabulous quirky hotel...my first choice when visiting Brighton. Super clean and well maintained. Elevator. Incredible breakfasts and varied dinner menu.ideal for the beach and pier, located at entrance to the Lanes

Faded grandeur. Return visit and will be back - keen to see the refreshed spa

Honest Review At first, we were unsure about booking this hotel, as we only chose it due to a work conference and the fact that every other hotel was fully booked because of the bank holiday weekend. Queens Hotel was the only one with availability, so we decided to take a chance — and I’m so glad we did! The staff were absolutely amazing — attentive, polite, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The swimming pool, sauna, and steam room were fantastic, and breakfast was a solid 5 stars for me. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, which made a big difference. The only downside was that the room had mostly older plug sockets, with only a couple of newer ones available. Also, during the hot days, the room became quite warm, especially at night. It would really benefit from having air conditioning. Although there was a fan available, didn’t use it as of the sound Overall, a great stay and would definitely recommend — especially thanks to the brilliant staff and great facilities.

Awesomeo

Lovely sea view room.

We had a fantastic night. The hotel is lovely, our room on the third floor was very clean, comfotable, spacious and well maintained, we had a seagul visitor at the window, lovely views of the sea and pier. We had breakfast the next morning, im gluten free and they were very helpful with what i could eat, most things except sausages. Staff were all friendly and helpful. I had a swim before we left, the pool was clean and very nice. Id definately come again and try the spa treatments.

Motel 6 accommodations, boutique hotel price. If you are just into historical hotels, this is for you. If you want modern day conveniences like an outlet next to your bed, more than 1 towel, toilet paper that’s not see through, this one ain’t for you to

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The swimmers pool, sauna and steam room were well kept and included in the price. Breakfast was very good.

Great location. Room accommodated family of 4 comfortably. Had a rental car- hotel had no parking, option cost a lot.

Great service for the minute we got there, they upgraded us to a bigger room on arrival without asking! Comfy bed, great location and restaurant/bar. Would definitely stay again!

Nice place…room bit dated, no shelves in bathroom table leg broken bed bit lumpy. Parking was horrendous we parked way out of town and got bus in. Plates for cooked breakfast were too small.

Last minute booking wished we had stayed the whole weekend instead of the awful tired Ship hotel! Most definitely return to The Queens Hotel o our next regular visit to Brighton

Great two day break, staff really friendly and helpful, easy check in and bag holding. Nice little gym with pool, sauna and steam room. Will definitely stay again

Easy check in. We had a family room, which was very large and comfortable. We didn't have a mini fridge, which we'd hoped for, to store some food, but not the end of the world. Shower was great and we could just see the sea, out the corner of the window. We had some very noisy young women above us, that thought it was a good idea to jump around and scream at each other at 2am. A quick phone call to reception and they quietened down. The hotel is in a great location on the seafront, a couple of minutes walk to the pier and the lanes a couple of minutes walk behind the hotel. Thoroughly enjoyed Brighton, the Palace was stunning, the lanes are very pretty, with lots of restaurants and the town full of high street shops. The sun shone for us, although a little chilly.

Lovely stay, hotel well located and staff friendly. Could do with a bit of redecorating but was what we were looking for for the night.

It was our wedding and they made us feel so special. The staff was amazing and the breakfast was great. Our room was comfortable and clean. Reception staff was excellent. Totally recommend.

We had auch a lovely weekend stay here in March 2025. Couldnt fault the hotel in anyway..

It was a quick one night stay but what a beautiful seaside hotel. We booked a basic room and arrived quite early before check-in time. The very friendly person at reception offered us a £50 upgrade for a sea view family room that was available right then. It was a splurge well worth it as the view was spectacular and so was the oversized room! Steps to the Brighton pier, restaurants, attractions and shops.

A centrally based hotel. Clean rooms with comfy beds. Delicious buffet breakfast with all the hot and cold options you could desire.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Enrique took time to solve our room issue and find alternate accommodation for us. All quickly and efficiently done. We used their dining facilities while there. The food was never served hot but did taste fine, however the Nachos as a main course was dry and there was hardly any cheese. We were disappointed to find the croissants at breakfast were mini size and a bit tough when trying to prise open !! The location of the hotel was ideal to get around by foot and we had a lovely sea view from our bedroom window. Overall, we will still use this place and next time we will bring our swimsuits to use their fitness facilities!!

Good sized family room with comfortable beds and well stocked tea/coffee. Very friendly staff. Fantastic pool, sauna and fully equipped gym with sensible, early morning to late evening opening times. Didn’t use dining facilities as there is so much choice in Brighton.

This hotel needs much updating. It’s very tired looking. We were offered an upgrade on the day to a sea view room which was very nice of them….but the bathroom was awful, I complained to reception and was told many people complain about the bath…it’s not dirty, it’s the way it is 😱. We used the pool but was only given 3 towels (4 of us) and was told it is what it is, it’s half term! We had dinner in the restaurant which was ok, but my son wanted vanilla icecream for pudding and was told he can’t have even though my other son had the brownie that came with vanilla icecream, therefore 1 grumpy child that couldn’t have a pudding! Overall this hotel wasn’t worth the money I paid and I wont be returning.

The hotel was excellent staff very friendly and helpful. Facilities were excellent you even get the option to use the spa and swimming pool for free when you stay here. The only one downside is the staff didnt keep up with the hot breakfast food so there was along wait for some of the food. But will stay there again in the future.

A lovely, centrally based, hotel for our son’s graduation. Bedroom was clean and bright and the breakfast was delicious. We will be back.

I love the location and sea view. The exterior could do with painting as the rusty attachments bleedvand age the building. The furniture in my room is tired and needs an upgrade. Its a lovely hotel, despite that and the staff are great. Some much needed TLC for the hotel.

A hotel that seems like it was amazing 15 years ago and nothing has been done to keep it that way since. Check in staff were lovely, though we felt pressured into accepting an upgrade for an extra £20. The room itself was then a suite which was nice and comfortable but lacking a bit of looking after. Lots of the paint was flaking, the bathroom sink had a crack in the bathroom sink and silicone coming away. The bedding was clean and both bed and sofa were very comfortable. Unfortunately the windows were not double glazed and there is a beach bar right outside - leading to a lot of noise throughout the night. Plus the rattling from the wind! The breakfast options were good, when they were there. However I’m not sure why there was a sign saying “wait here to be seated” when staff then told you to find your own table. Staff were brusk and bordered on rude; not just to us but to other staff within earshot. Not a spa hotel as advertised - a hotel with access to a local health club. Not a relaxing environment in the “spa” at all.

We enjoyed being next to the sea. Lots of lounge areas. Great breakfast. Hotel a little tired but very popular and great location. Very pleasant stay.

Business in area. The Hotel was clean and comfortable. But the décor and furnishing appeared quite tired. Shame as the location and building are great. Parking is very expensive in Brighton.

Great old hotel right on the beach with amazing views.

Excellent stay, my room was nice and clean room. My tub spa experience in my room was amazing. Even though it was a cold stay, I was provided with extra heating and blankets as disabled couple. Sauna and stem was perfect, nice swimming pool but could have been warmer/ only criticism. Breakfast was good. I will definitely book here again.

The building is very old and it doesn't look worth for what we are paying

Arrived to check in at 3.30 and was told room wasn’t ready despite it clearly saying on website check in is from 3 and there being a queue of people checking in. We were told check in was between 3-4 and to go out for half hour. No apology or offer of a drink while we wait. When we went back at 4 the receptionist had to phone to check room was ready and practically threw the key at us stating room number. We had to ask him where we were going. Room itself was ok but the windows are so dated and the wind was so bad it was like we were in a tent in Scotland. Bathroom was really dated. Great location but that’s it. Wouldn’t go back.

Reception was open 24 hours and super useful. Room was lovely as well, though the location is a bit loud as located next to Brighton’s major clubs.

It was a great choice for a family of 4

No problems, nice staff, room was good.

Loved our stay, so convenient for all amenities and beautiful room. We’d definitely stay again

Very good... great location.... rooms good... breakfast ok

The hotel was in a good location, right in the seafront and close to the pier. It was fairly clean, but a little run down and old fashioned. The windows are single glazed and wooden framed and run with condensation when it’s cold outside. Due to the thin windows and our room (215) being directly opposite a club, there was noise, especially at 4am on Sunday morning when I presume the club kicked out! Overall good hotel but expected a little better for the price.

Great stay - would stay again.

Lovely stay

Location was great, room with sea views and very close to the lanes with shops, bars and restaurants. Hotel was a little tired around the edges and could benefit from a make over.

A hotel that doesn’t pretend. Lovely, most welcoming reception staff. Spacious bedroom with a comfortable bed It lures for another visit.

If you book the family room, be aware that there is a step right after you walk in. My elderly mother fell twice, hitting the bed as she landed on the floor. Aside from this, the breakfast is excellent and the location is great.

My annual trio to Brighton and always stay here. The staff are just wonderful.

The hotel is located at the sea front and I got a lobely view of the pier and the sea! The interior is a bit tired apart from the bath, which was lovely! Bed was comfortable amd if I wasn't busy, I would have requested a late checkout, which is offered for extra charge. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate selection amazing! Free wifi in the room and hotel. Pool is also available, but didnt get a chance to use it. Other amenities like iron, ironing board and blowdry all can be found in the room. The only negative is, the hotel, because it is quite old, has creeky floors and I could hear people walking around.

Loved the breakfast and the room we had was so big! Loved the soaker tub! Great views!

Love staying here in the apartment needs a lick of paint etc Staff are helpful The lady who cleaned the apartments deserves a rise. She works very hard and does a great job The food is good I had afternoon Tea Advice…1 does 2 people

Excellent value, great staff

Sadly we did not get any sleep due to the noise outside till 5am!!! It was terrible You need double glazing windows!! The carpet in our room 200 was very badly stained and the bathroom had paint all in the bath and mould on the tiles!!

It was a prime location but only downside was the noisy floorboards. With my husband and child in the room it was hard to sleep well with the movement of us going to the bathroom, Also hearing the other guests moving in their rooms

It was a bit too loud but the view was fabulous. Also some of the interior was a bit old but I guess it adds to the charm. I really liked the place and the staff was the best, all so polite and helping.

We stayed in the ‘apartment’ which is across the road from the hotel. It was fine, basic and functional but noise from the street into the early hours, banging sash windows from the wind and curtains that didn’t cut out the light. With ear plugs and eye mask it would have been fine. Pool, sauna and steam room were nice and breakfast was very good. We had a short wait for breakfast as it was full and a very rude waitress but reception apologised for her behaviour and promised to address it. All in all, we’d probably try and stay in the main hotel if we came back. Location of the hotel was perfect on the seafront and price wise it was reasonable for Brighton. Luggage storage area and use of leisure facilities until 5pm on day of check out was an added bonus.

Excellent stay, the room was comfortable and clean; the staff were so friendly and approachable. The pool and sauna areas were lovely, far better than the photos actually show them to be. We would definitely book again.

The location was great but hotel very very tired. Too many stairs for seniors with luggage. The bath was very high and hard to get into. Not senior friendly.

Rather old and in need of renovation. Excellent breakfast. Good position. Helpful staff.

The bathroom was definitely a problem. The tub was very difficult to get into, for a person with mobility issues. Unusually high off the floor. The hot water tap in the bathroom was dangerously hot! And the Wifi was not very good.

Good location
