Hotel du Vin Brighton

Great place

Lovely hotel, great location, friendly staff,

A really beautiful hotel. Bubbles and breakfast is definitely the way ahead.

An amazing hotel staff were very helpful and customer service was excellent. Food was delicious. Location was amazing too right next to the lanes. Would recommend 😊

Very modern with an old feel, great staff and food. Wonderful customer service. I will stay there again.

The lady that checked me in was so friendly I’d had a bad day and someone stole my wallet & she gave me free champagne. The bed was very comfortable. It’s a bit of a maze getting around. But two staff members who be also very nice helped me. My restaurant experience was not great but everything else was.

Comfortable rooms and great food

Great location in the heart of the south lanes, top notch, friendly service, delicious food and stylish rooms.

Amazing weekend away at Hotel du Vin. The hotel had a warm and rustic feel to it, with a stunning outside seating area and clean feel throughout. Staff were incredibly polite and helpful, with the option to trade house keeping for a free drink instead a really nice touch. Will definitely be going back

Rooms were well equipped but a little tired in some ways. Balcony could be made a little more private but all in all comfortable stay

Great location, comfy bed, large shower in nice bathroom. Staff lovely. Breakfast cooked to order. More character than some larger hotels nearby but less facilities than some.

Fab hotel in a great location. Our room was spotless and the biggest bathroom ever! Great breakfast selection with attentive staff.

Good food in the restaurant Relaxing bar and generally

From the moment we arrived we were made welcome. Shown to our lovely room with an enormous and extremely comfortable bed with fresh, crisp sheets

Lovely huge room

The hotel itself is lovely, I enjoyed hanging around at the bar and the staff were all really friendly. My room was tidy and well presented, but it was a bit on the small side. There was no wired internet port in the room, which was a bit of a bummer considering I had to work in the room a few times. I will say I was worried about being adjacent to the courtyard but it turned out to not be a problem given how strict the hotel is with how late people can stay outside. The aircon couldn't be put higher than 16, which was an odd choice. I think the Du Vin is a great place to stay, but it can be a bit pricy for what it is.

Charming staff at reception Deluxe room was great could not fault it Fab bathroom and separate shower with l’occitaine toiletries which have at home Plenty of towels, great shower and good to ward to brehave a coffee machine with great coffees Nice light room in the tower - only thing missing a full length mirror Apart from that could not fault Delightful staff Looking forward to breakfast tomorrow If you can I would recommend staying here you will enjoy it!!! I will def come again x

Good location , cocktails very good. Room ok , shower was good. Breakfast was nice , not worth £24!.

Hotel du Vin air con wasn't working in their last room, so they kindly took us to their Malmaison at Brighton Marina - which was great. Truly excellent customer service!

We’ve stayed many times at Hotel Du Vin Brighton and always enjoyed it. The staff continue to be excellent, going out of their way to be helpful, often unprompted. However, considering how expensive the hotel has become, it could be said to be sitting on its laurels. Our room didn’t appear to have been refurbished for a long time. The room carpet was stained (probably not a good idea to have a plain pale brown carpet in a hotel room). The bathrobes had shrunk so much mine wouldn’t fit around me. You would expect better of a hotel charging around £100 a night, let alone one charging £300 for a Deluxe but still fairly small room! Breakfast in the restaurant was excellent, then again at £24 ahead you would expect it to be. Dinner was only so so. And perhaps the lack of diners on the Thursday evening was indicative of the amount of good choice that people have in Brighton. Finally, Parking has become a nightmare in Brighton. Local car parks are £40 for 24 hours. If you can, park outside Brighton and get the bus in, or use Just Park. I managed to find a spot 15 minutes walk away for £72 for the three days we were there.

I used to live in Brighton and have had my sights on this hotel for a while before I moved away so this was a perfect excuse to stay here over my birthday weekend. Staff are friendly, area is safe and quiet and surrounded by shops and restaurants and just one minute walk from the pier. Only issues I’d like to see fixed and improved are some of the amenities inside the room, such as the number of plugs/adaptors as the USB slots near my side of the bed wasn’t working, and the glass panel in the bathroom tightened as there was a gap near the bottom so water was flowing out when taking a shower which we’d had to wipe up separately; tiles around the bathtub also was browned so maybe some fixer upper would be nice. Overall would still stay here again as these were my experiences but no other complaints. Would also like to dine here soon as we only had breakfast in bed.

Well located hotel with friendly staff. We didnt eat here so are unable to give opinions on this. Bar service was excellent though. Bed very comfortable. Excellent bath and shower and loved the quirkiness of the bathroom. Lovely L'Occitane products. Very short walk to the beach and the lanes. Would 100% stay here again. We used the park and ride as parking is extortionate in Brighton. P&R much more reasonable and only a 5 minute walk to the hotel from the bus stop.

Stayed in the signature suite , probably a bit over priced considering breakfast was extra but was an amazing room. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Bar area nice but again probably a bit over priced. All in all though a nice hotel if you are willing to meet yhe costs.

Great location in the centre of town - very helpful staff - with a stylish bar. But it’s not cheap and there were some problems. Firstly no parking provision at all - no deal with any parking providers nearby - surprising for a high-end hotel. We upgraded to a deluxe room ‘The Arundel’which was quite lovely - high ceilings and spacious. Next morning there was a leak from the ceiling and we were asked to vacate to another room. This was very inconvenient as it was the morning of the wedding we were attending and got in the way of our tight schedule. The new room (the Adur) was not quite as special as our first room, although we were assured it was the same standard it was basically a low-ceilinged annexe - a bit underwhelming. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant one night with friends and again the staff were great but the food was average with a duck main course that was tough and over-salted and a pasta and crab dish that was dry and bland. But we overlooked it at the time and enjoyed the company we were with. Breakfast was good but not cheap - the Full English option was excellent - as you would hope for £25 a head. In summary - location and staff were great but Hotel Du Vin is not as top drawer as it might like to think. Leaking ceilings, disappointing replacement room, zero help with parking and an underwhelming restaurant took the gloss off what we hoped would be a first class experience. We’ll probably look elsewhere next time.

To be completely clear our stay in the hotel was very good, however the pre booked lunch in Bistro Du Vin was dreadful. Service or should I say lack of service, was appalling and the quality of the vegetarian meals was very poor

Lovely stay at a beautiful hotel. Great location. Friendly greeting at reception. Gorgeous room, just off a beautiful courtyard, where we enjoyed a couple of drinks in the sunshine, with excellent service from the bar staff, and again when we returned from our night out and had a drink in the stunning bar area. We’ve stayed at other hotels in Brighton but this will now be our go to hotel when we visit again.

The hotel is a lovely building, very close to the sea front and town, staff were wonderful 😁

The hotel is lovely throughout. Parking in nearby car park was very safe but very expensive

Personal space

Nice quick check in

Lovely stay in Torres room. We were on the thrid floor, so nice and quiet, and having no lift was not an issue for us. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Lovely room, fabulous big bathroom with bath and shower, and large comfortable bed. Breakfast was delicious too. We parked in nearby NCP car park, and this was only a few minutes walk away. Perfect for our 1 x night trip to Brighton. I wish we could have stayed longer.

A great stay, with friendly staff, spacious rooms with comfy beds. And probably the best hotel Shower I’ve had.

Great location and the team were very friendly and professional The room condition was comfortable but the room itself I don’t like.. only windows were in the ceiling which I did t like at all and would avoid staying non this room in the future

Staff fine but room decor disappointingly grotty and uncared for - leaking brown goo from radiator, peeling ceiling in shower, chipped paint, stained carpet. Only one pillow each on bed (two in cupboard) and light stuck on in wardrobe. Room was Louis Jadot.

Amazing Room, great amenities for our baby - cot, changing mat and nappy bin was in our room. We loved every second of our stay. Highly recommend!! We even got a complimentary drink as it was my husband’s birthday.

Nice hotel, expensive, bathroom a little shabby.

Signature suite was fantastic! Staff were incredible!

Great hotel

Lovely stay. We keep coming back and will do again. Perfect location, beautiful room. The hot breakfast is particularly special.

Amazing hotel! Amazing service, only downer was that it was quite loud in the morning, sadly the windows aren’t the best.

Very average choice for breakfast

Love staying at Hotel du Vin in Brighton. The staff are super friendly (especially to dogs!). Not the hotel’s fault at all - but there’s a nightclub a few doors away. We paid over £600 for two nights (think it was more due to the Brighton marathon being on) and I was woken up in the early hours of the morning by revellers. You hope for a decent night’s sleep so I’d recommend not staying in one of the rooms that faces the road outside. Parking is also crazily expensive in Brighton - think I’ll go by train next time! Other than that - the hotel itself was really good.

Hotel located in a central spot and provides great service and ammenities. It has great restaurant and fantastic bar with a cigar patio on the 2nd floor. The bartenders were extremely nice and even offered me a free drink for forgetting about my order one time. So overall very happy with both the property and the staff who work there. No elevator to the upper floors, so had fun with my large suitcase.

Decent hotel but no lifts. Parking around the hotel is expensive so it would be nice if a discount was made available. I didnt personally like the names for rooms instead of numbers, i find it harder to locate the room.

Lovely as always!

Food Evening meal average Breakfast very good Hotel overall lovely But parking nearby at the Lanes expensive £40 overnight 5pm till 8am

A really lovely place to stay. Staff very helpful and service was fantastic. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend this place to stay on Brighton.

Beautiful hotel. Rooms very comfy, well fitted out and have everything you need. Best thing about the hotel are the staff. Have stayed a few times and always so friendly and helpful, asset to the hotel.

Room was large and comfortable. We stayed in a deluxe double and had king size bed. Bathroom very clean and lovely occitane products. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Breakfast excellent as was our evening meal. All reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again or at another Hotel du Vin.

Special shout out for the breakfasts at Hotel du Vin- I think they are consistently the best that I encounter from similar level hotels. Enjoyed my stay again at this hotel. Some sort of parking validation would be nice as surrounding car parks are pricey if driving

The hotel seems rather tired these days - decor and furnishings. Our first room was cramped. We upgraded to a much better room however it had no working heating - portable electric heater provided, the sink was blocked and the lights inside the wardrobe would not switch off on closure. Breakfast was very good and staff attentive, friendly and helpful. Parking overnight in the centre of Brighton is hugely expensive (£40 +)

We had a lovely time and slept well

The property was quirky, and the bathroom was lovely. The staff weren't particularly friendly or helpful, we complained about the stifling heat in the stuffy room, and were told only heating is available in the winter, we had to end up opening and closing the window throughout the night as it was like a sauna. The room itself did not feel deluxe, the view was of some rusty aircon units, pigeon spikes on the Juliet balcony outside, and the smell of smoke from the guests below who were outside on their terraces didn't help with the ventilation problems mentioned above. Housekeeping didn't make up our room, they only refilled the coffee pods, and after leaving and checking the bill, we realised we'd been charged for 2 breakfasts that we didn't have. We have since requested a refund. This was a disappointing stay, and below standards we've received at other Hotel du Vin properties.

Always a great stay

We stayed at the Sea View room - the staff were lovely and service was good. However, the room itself really needs a face lift - the paint is flaking off all over the windows and some part of the ceiling, the carpet is old and fraying at the junction where it meets the wood floor and the towel rain in the bathroom is loose. Don’t get me wring, the room itself was clean, but it felt a bit unloved. Considering this was one of the more expensive rooms with twin tubs, I would have expected it to be in a better condition than it was.

Wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

A great hotel, let down by the food. The eoom was lovely. A fantastic bathtoom with a shower to die for. The staff were all lovely. The only let down was the food . My starter scallops were not fully cooked and the aauce gritty., and the ateak jyst meio

Lovely friendly and kind staff throughout our stay. We chose a basic room which is what we had. It was a little tired but everything one needed was there. Our main complaint couldn’t be helped by the Hotel as it related to the noise outside of late night party revellers. We had a downstairs room right at the front of the Hotel. We stayed one night; if longer we would have considered asking to move.Food excellent.

The dining room was lovely. The restaurant is definitely the highlight of this hotel. The layout of the hotel is very unique. The room had a lovely bathtub, very spacious. The room did not have many working outlets, so charging devices was a little awkward. The hotel is right next to the beach, so that was very convenient.

Michelle was really helpful & sorted out a problem we had without any fuss. Hotel is lovely - bar is great place for a drink

Hotel could be amazing, booked a junior suit, really smells of damp, not really a junior suit just a room with a bath tub in, shame

Nice property. Staff very friendly and helpful.

The hotel itself is lovely and very clean. It also has a really good feel to it. The food is also excellent. The area round it is a bit scrubby so it is worth a walk to get to better areas. I would recommend the hotel highly and we intend to go back for New Year

Staff were so friendly, the hotel had everything we needed

Great stay, clean comfortable and great service. Great location with everything on your doorstep. Would stay again with no hesitation.

Lovely hotel close to the sea

Lovely quiet hotel. Warm welcome at reception. Room ready early, welcome drink and offered free late check out. Rooms decorated to high standard and v quiet. Huge bathroom Good breakfast Cosy bar Great location, close to pier, the Lanes and Brighton Centre

Lovely hotel and service however my room was BOILING even with air con, they provided a fan but didnt really help unfortunatley. Scaffolding over patio currently

Great hotel

Nice room, big bathroom, very clean. Can hear guests walking and talking in the hallway

Quilt was stained when we arrived. It was changed but not offered anything. You know a drink at the bar , nothing. Supposed to be a delux room but was tierd especially the bathroom. Not delux and as you will know not cheap either. The hotel needs to sort a concession parking rate out aswell with the lanes parking. £ 40 overnight stay. Not good

I completely love the Hotel Du Vin chain, however, my experience in Brighton was fairly awful. Our room was a bit of a disappointment from the second we arrived. The woodwork on the desks etc. was rather scuffed, scruffy and tired and not really the standard you would expect. Silly little things like only 1 towel being hung out in the bathroom, only one pillow each on the bed etc. that were just surprising. That being said the bathroom was lovely as was the rest of the hotel so we thought we would probably have a lovely time. Sadly, after going out for a nice dinner we returned to the hotel to sleep. A key function of a hotel.. it was not to be. The bed was embarrassingly awful. I mean, not fit for sleeping on awful. It sunk deeply in the middle, provided no support and would have been embarrassing for a fleapit BnB let alone a hotel of Hotel Du Vin's standing. After an exceptionally bad nights sleep we dragged ourselves down to reception to check out. I told the front desk (who were lovely) about the bed and suggested they did not rent that room out again until they had fixed it. They expressed their apologies and said they would get a manager to call me later in the day. Since then I have had a very brusk message on Expedia to say they will fix it before my next stay (poor guests in between!). Overall a very disappointing stay and post stay customer service at what is normally a very high quality hotel group.

The hotel was amazing, the room was extremely clean, tidy and very comfortable with everything we needed. Very close to the seafront so we went for a late walk along the beach. Breakfast wasn’t included but we paid the extra and it was great. We will definitely go back again

Thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at the du vin. Friendly check in and we took advantage of the eco guest option which gave us a 7.50 credit esch for foregoing room cleaning and towrl change 2 nights stay dont need that. Staff in every part of the hotel were friendly and service was excellent. Loved our room bed coffee machine l occitane toiletries the bathroom was huge and the roll top bath was special air con lights in the wardrobe mini fridge all lithle extras i wasnt expecting breakfast was delicious both mornings lots of choice freshly cooked. All in all a great stay and we will be back thanks all at the Du Vin

Lovely hotel and well situated for everything Brighton has to offer. The room was wonderful and catered for every need. I didn’t eat at the hotel but the bar was very welcoming and the staff friendly. I was meeting family the day after I arrived so was on my own for my first night but didn’t want to spend my evening in Brighton alone in my room, lovely as it was. I am happy to say I felt very comfortable as a lone female in a cosy corner of the bar with a big glass of wine and my book and the complimentary nibbles made me feel truly spoilt. A wonderful stay.

Excellent hotel, shame about the absence of parking (or discounted parking)

We had such a wonderful stay as a family of three. Our room was on the 1st floor and had everything we needed. The only things I could pick holes in was the room was dusty, skirting boards and low areas need a good wipe down and there is not a lift in the hotel, luckily for us we were 1st floor so had to carry the buggy not too far but any higher would of been a struggle. We only had 1 issue which was when we booked the property it said children were free, however my 2 year old is tall so I requested a bed for him and then was told it would be £30pn charge only the day before, so we took our own blow up as I found this unfair. Breakfast was 10/10 great selection and delicious foods. We stayed for 2 nights and opted out for housekeeping and was giving a token for a “drink on us” which was a lovely touch! I would like to say, the staff are a credit to the hotel. Really kind, friendly and nothing too much trouble, the wonderful lady at breakfast went above and beyond and looked after us a treat. We loved Brighton and would highly recommend this place! & we will be back!

The staff were so informative and made us feel so welcome! We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay thank you!

Lovely room, at the top of the hotel... I'm sure many people noted there's no lift. Staff were lovely and 24hr manned bar is a nice plus.

Exceeded our expectations and the staff were very nice

The staff were really warm and welcoming. The room was very comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Definitely my first choice if I stay in Brighton

I have stayed here a good few times and the reason I keep coming back for a couple days regularly is that this hotel and staff are always welcoming and professional and just downright nice,

Beautiful room, great location

The staff were great especially Diego who was very helpful with our toddler. Lovely stay.

The hotel is in a good position for shops , restaurants and beach

Great location and lovely staff. Only downside is lots of stairs to your room!

There is no elevator so the staff carried my bags to my room. The restaurant food was good but not great but the service was great. My room was very big with a claw foot tub and a rain shower. Room service was very good. excellent location, 12 step up a quiet lane across the street from teh beach.

One of the best girls in Brighton.

Really warm welcome, which got things off to a good start. The room was large and comfortable. The bed was very good and lots of pillows which I like! Some of the furnishings seemed a bit mix and match which was a pity and I think there was a drawer missing from the desk. But overall very comfortable and worth mentioning a superb breakfast, freshly cooked to order.

2nd time back in a couple weeks, absolutely love this place, staff and overall stuff! Is just brilliant. Will be back soon!!

The service and staff

Perfect place to stay in hectic weekend Brighton

The hotel is starting to get a little tatty. Cobwebs above shower head that didn't work properly. The hotel needs a little TLC.

Lovely rooms. Needs redecorating and tidying up

Two days for a birthday weekend in Brighton. Really nice little hotel, clean rooms, well-located for all the main attractions and plus a cosy bar. Friendly staff. Perfect and just what we wanted

Exceptional hotel. Comfortable, very clean, very friendly staff, large room. Shame they do not have guiness on tap. Loved the nibbles that are served with the drinks.

Accommodated us last minute after our travelling plans changed and very welcoming - we got a late night upgrade and spent a very comfortable night. Delicious breakfast.

Nice room, good location, nice staff. Extra points as the staff were so good with my dog.

An absolutely stunning place to stay, the staff, the food and basically everything was spot on, and will be back again soon on the strength of that

Great location and lovely hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff and quiet room even being so close to the seafront
