The view and location and staff
Beautiful views and staff lovely
Great staff, special thanks to Mike & Sean for accommodating. We would highly recommend the hotel.
Great location, all staff extremely friendly and helpful with anything, room very spacious and clean
N/a
Superfreundliches Personal, richtige Gastgeber . Haus hat Charme
Alles recht alt und in die Jahre gekommen
Great stay no complaints
Great location, iconic building, friendly and helpful staff. My fourth time staying here. And if you get there early enough they have free parking in front.
Great location and comfortable room
All the staff were friendly warm and helpful. Made us feel very welcome and attended to our needs. The room was clean and spacious with everything needed for a stay. Clean towels, sheets, tea, coffee, kettle, iron ect... Decor was simple but nice and the view of the sea was a bonus. Bathroom was clean with complimentary toiletries and appliances -hairdryer. A small fridge would have been great to keep water/drinks cool as it was very warm weather. There was 2 fans in the room which helped. Location was great for the price.
The doors for the shower would not close properly so water seeped through. And there was no notification that the lift was not working on booking.com or via email by the hotel. My kids had to help carry our luggage up and down. And climbing after a day of exploring was'nt great, as I have lower back issues. Externally hotel looks older-worn, compared to photo online, And Wifi is connection was poor.
The staff here go above and beyond for their customers, it was my wife’s birthday weekend and honestly they couldn’t do enough for her :) They are a lovely team of people - thank you all.
It’s a dated building but that’s obvious before booking, and Brighton on bank holiday is expensive everywhere so we were happy with what we got and what we paid
Great location. Great view ( side view ) but could still see the pier. Very helpful friendly staff.
Comfortable room
Nothing
Vue sur la mer (vision latérale) , accueil et proximité de la plage
Ascenseur en panne, pas de clim dans les chambres et température très élévée avec un minuscule ventilateur pour une chambre de 4 Parking dans les ruez payant ce qui revient très cher si on reste 2 nuits .
Sea view and location
No lift limited parking
The sea view, and the way you have arranged everything for us in our room, We felt that you think about us.
Location. Staff.
Needs a good refurbishment in a lot of areas, especially the decking outside. The table and chairs were full of woodworm and rotting away.. for the price £170 per night, it wernt worth it. You're not allowed to bring food in your room, and when you leave to go out, you have to leave your key behind.
Excellent location, friendly and very helpful and supportive stuff
Solo La posizione
Tutto! Struttura fatiscente . Vecchia e datata e decadente . Staff incompetente . Risposte confusionarie e volte sempre a farti pagare extra . Per il parcheggio in strada hanno richiesto il pagamento di 17 sterline per l’abbonamento giornaliera quando il costo è 9,5 sterline e da quanto indicato dal loro stesso sito ! Camere rifatte male , letti scomodi , pulizia generale scarsa . Colazione scarsa . Pessima esperienza . Spremono il cliente di Booking applicando condizioni e costi più alti rispetto alle loro politiche
Sea view. Right opposite beach. Location is perfect. Very basic hotel but clean and comfortable. Very friendly staff.
We didn't not like anything.
-Vue sur la mer. -Lit
-Douche (type douche publique piscine) + robinet. -Café (petit-dej)
in high season there was no lift, dirty and rusty carpet. bath room was very basic with a dirty and no working fan, old furniture, one of the worst experience I ever had with such an expensive hotel (£210 per night without breakfast)
compare to the price it was too basic and dirty.

酒店外观
The room was tastefully decorated and modern and well thought out. The bed was comfortable. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. Good value for money. The historic front lounge was nicely decorated.
The outside appearance of the hotel looks a bit run down. When I arrived and saw it, I was concerned it would be run down hotel inside. I was wrong. I was pleasantly surprised that inside the bedrooms were furnished to a high standard and were immaculate. Each time you leave the hotel you have to hand your key in at reception. If there is a queue at reception this means waiting which can be slightly inconvenient.
The location was really good
No air conditioning, no Housekeeping
Michael on the front desk offered a warm and jovial welcome, and on the whole the staff at the hotel were unfailingly friendly! Fantastic location overlooking the sea, and a very comfortable bed.
For the price, I would expect all shelves to be dusted properly, and not to have to remove the layers of dust from the fan blades myself. My room was missed by housekeeping. Property just needs a little more TLC, but the welcome and location are first-rate.
Great location and cosy hotel
The staff were very friendly and the location was great. Good location into get to the beach, Marina, Churchill square and the lanes.
The beds and pillow were very uncomfortable. The bed linen was not even on properly when we arrived. The room was dusty and very dated. No air con but mini fans were provided.
Everything was great. Just a shame the WiFi didn't work well for us. Would definitely stay again.
WiFi didn't work
Location ,close to the lanes and town centre.opposite great beach. Sea views. Breakfast ok,great sea views from dining room. Comfortable bed.
Lift not working.three night stay, first day toilet roll replacement missed,second night room not made up at all. Missed room cleaning and no replacement tea,coffee,milk etc. rooms need updating.had to go to reception and ask for all tea, coffee,toilet paper etc to be replenished.
Location was great - lovely sea front location. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly both in advance and during our stay. The family room was very spacious.
The hotel is in need of updating. Some windows were hard to see out of as the double glazing has blown (for a sea view, it was a shame.) The shower wasn't great (door was stiff, didn't drain very well) and I'd prefer a newer mattress though the pad they've put on made it comfy enough. I'd also prefer more eco friendly options eg. milk in a shared fridge rather than the little plastic pots, no mini wrapped toiletries etc.
Clean, good location and the loveliest staff who made the whole stay even more memorable.
Gute Lage
Aussen sehr runtergekommen, innen einigermaßen
Bardzo fajny hotel z miłą obsługą i pysznym śniadaniem. Pokoj duży z balkonem I widokiem na morze.W pokoju czajnik kawki ,herbatki ciasteczka a nawet cukierki.Lazienka z pełnym wyposażeniem. Dobra lokalizacja.
Stary dywan na podłodze w pokoju wyglądał jakby nie byl odkurzany od dawna.Zepsuta winda.
The hotel is in a quieter part of town on the seafront. However, it also close to the main town of Brighton.
Whilst basic amenities were covered, it was the small things that matter. In our room there was no air con and during this hot weather the room was extremely hot. The electrics tripped with only the TV and an iron on, so shouldn’t have been a problem. The bed was very hard indeed, unusual these days. It might be an idea for the hotel to invest in some bed toppers which are relatively inexpensive. The hotel competition in Brighton is fierce, I doubt if I would stay here again.
L’emplacement avec vue sur la Manche et le charme de l’hôtel

The building, friendly staff, vegan breakfast
The bed was very uncomfortable, I'd have struggled with it for more than one night.
Tuve un problema con la limpieza de la habitación (me encontré un mechero dentro de una funda de almohada) No se responsabilizaron de lo que pasó. Tampoco Booking me ayudo. Una experiencia mala. Ademas la habitación no cumplió para nada las expectativas con respecto al precio. No volveré a reservar.
Très bel établissement avec beaucoup de charme. Le personnel est fantastique.
L’établissement mériterait un rafraîchissement.
Lovely location, really close to the pier, and great view of the sea. Had the loveliest welcome to the hotel, really made me feel so welcome.
If you’re coming back late in the night, I recommend agreeing a time, as you will need to be let into the property by the night staff for security reasons.
Ottima posizione, il molo di Brighton ed il centro sono a 7/8 minuti di piacevole camminata. Lo staff molto cordiale e preciso cerca di sopperire alle mancanze della struttura
Struttura molto vecchia, l’ascensore era fuori servizio (sospetto da molto tempo), la camera seppur spaziosa per 4 persone (2 adulti e 2 bambini era poco equipaggiata, manca una tenda/porta della doccia.
The location
Lift not working, listed on the website that all floors accessible via lift.
Bett ok
Kein Aufzug!!!! Defekt oder kann nicht mehr repariert werden.
We love staying at The Lanes. The staff is so lovely and we always feel very welcomed and at home. We will always go back. After a few bad experiences somewhere else, we understood that The Lanes is the best place for us.
The only down bit is a very flaky WiFi connection.
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. There were lovely touches to the room. Gorgeous view and excellent location.
Nothing
La posizione ottima. La vista mare.
La struttura sembra fatiscente, l'intonaco scrostato è anche sul pavimento del piccolo balcone della camera (superiore vista mare). Mancanza di un adeguato armadio in camera (lo spazio c'è). Il letto alla francese è piccolo per due persone.
I letti erano comodi
Struttura molto vecchia e poco curata. La pulizia nelle stanze da rivedere
Breakfast
Lift out of order, rooms dated no storage
Perfecte locatie en mooi oud pandje
Het is wel een oud pand
The staff made it a great experience and because of them I’ll be back, the rooms are clean and modern
All good
Nice setting on the front and did have a sea view .
No parking . Was a nightmare trying to find somewhere.
I loved this hotel by the sea. The room was fabulous and the gentle breeze with the balcony doir open really helped with the heat. The reception staff were delightful and gave great recommendations for nearby eateries as well as good swimming spots. I ate breakfast out but they do offer full breakfasts as well. Would love to return.
Csodálatos kilátás a tengerpartra, az aranyos kis ablakfülkéből. Kedves és megbízható személyzet. Jól felszerelt, tágas szobánk volt.
Nyáron mentünk, légkondicionálót érdemes lenne beszerelni mert fülledtek így a szobák(10 éve lehet,hogy nem volt erre szükség, de most már Angliában is szükség lehet rá a délebbi részeken). A reggelit sajnos nem ajánlom szívesen.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel. De locatie is fantastisch, direct aan de promenade, en de 'Lanes' op loopafstand.
In de ontbijtzaal waren voornamelijk jongeren aan het wer die ogenschijnlijk weinig ervaring hadden en vaak terug kwamen om details over de bestelling te vragen die al genoemd waren.
Location was amazing! Staff were great.
Dirty spoons from previous guest left in room. Just a bit tired looking overall.
Location
In short: no hot water and really low water pressure in the shower I booked the hotel for one night and not long after check in we realised we had no hot water in the shower and really low pressure. We told the receptionist right away but she said it would take a few hours before someone could take a look. We were really tired and keen to go to bed (it was late) so we said we didn’t want to wait but I clearly stated I wasn’t happy having paid £226.80 for one night. The lady said they would sort out some sort of refund in the morning. The following morning I spoke to another lady at reception who was very apologetic but said she wasn’t able to process any sort of refund - she said she would talk to the owner and someone would get in touch. I waited one whole week and then sent them an email. It has been 2 full days since the email and I’ve heard nothing. It’s bad enough to have a cold shower after having paid that amount of money but I find it unacceptable to not have heard anything from management.
Very good hotel for a 3 star hotel fantastic from start to finish of our stay. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room and toilet was very clean . Bed was comfortable and the best part free parking on site. Everyone at reception is very helpful and welcoming. Will definitely use this hotel . Also 5 mins away from beach and pier.i would recommend here parking is first come basis but 5 spaces and was a lovely stay.

Location, decor and staff
Proper drainage needed for shower on upper floor
Stayed in downstairs room this time which was better because the lift isn’t working. Both room exceptional. Very clean, very comfortable beds
Lift not working but not an issue for lower floors. People with disabilities may struggle
It’s a beautifully old fashion English hotel, right on the seafront. Perfect location for walks along the prom, but just far enough from town to be quiet.
The rain shower in 309 had very little pressure.
Amazing breakfast. Staff all super helpful and pleasant.
Room service and cleanliness was only fair. Bed was wobbly!
Das typisch englische Frühstück war sehr gut. Man muss sich vorher anmelden...sonst muss man länger warten oder es ist schon alles voll. Ein sehr stilvoller Frühstücksraum.
Leider hat die Dusche nicht gut funktioniert. Der Wasserdruck in der obersten Etage war zu schwach. Und die Türe zur Dusche hat geklemmt. Man konnte sie nicht schließen. .deshalb stand das Bad immer unter Wasser.
מיקום מעולה, תמיד נעים ואדיב, ארוחת בוקר נחמדה

Location
The shower was dreadful only some holes worked so you had to dodge the non working holes. No plug sockets near bed to charge phones
The location makes this hotel a great choice, right on the seafront at the Pier. It certainly plays on it's history but is pretty shabby.
It desperately needs some TLC, for what they charge it feels very tired. The windows, original single glazed sash were too difficult to open/close and were left open. We were on the top floor and I wouldn't like having a child up there. Also no lift, apparently out of use for a long time. The narrow Victorian staircase made lifting a case difficult.

Couldn't say ?!
Loved our stay, warm inviting, lovely staff , great breakfast x
Good sized, well equipped room Good shower Kettle in room
Lift not working Only 5 car parking spaces
Perfect location right on the seafront, extremely clean, no pubes or hairs in the shower or round the toilet, Tea and Coffee sachets in the room with milk, bed was absolutely comforting with pillows that your head sinks into, parking outside if you're lucky enough for 5 car's, very good value if you want the seafront and views, 10 min walk to all shops, Pubs,Bars etc, 5 mins to the beach ⛱️. When we go to Brighton again, definitely stay there. Friendly, courteous and very warm welcome. Thank you very much.
Didn't stay long enough 😪.
Albergo fatiscente. Struttura esterna vecchia e corrosa dalla ruggine. Camera "matrimoniale" di dimensioni inaccettabile. Letto una piazza e mezzo. Bagno di un camper.
Staff were so friendly and helpful, the location was great. They allow you to eat take away in the evening in the restaurant area. There was someone on the desk 24/7. Great beach location. Room was spacious and really clean and well stocked.
The bathroom was a little tired/ dated, but worked well and spotlessly clean. I did get a parking spot, but eould have found it stressful if I didn't.
Central location , staff were very friendly and helpful
The location was fabulous having a sea front view. Breakfast was excellent really good choice, good portions and all very fresh. It was also very tasty.
WiFi strength needs improving as very weak signal.
The staff was super nice!!
El interés del personal por lograr que los clientes estén a gusto. Eso lo valoro mucho. El cliente no es un número más y eso se agradece. Me sentí considerada y consentida. Muchos detalles de alta cortesía (poco comunes) y eficiencia para resolver los inconvenientes. Me sentí como en casa. El trato es muy humano. Muy personal. Son muy simpáticos todos. Las habitaciones están bien. Y el baño también estaba bien, muy limpio, Buena regadera, Camas cómodas. Con todo lo necesario. Excelente atención en el desayuno. Gracias.
No funcionaba el elevador, ni el wifi en 4o. piso. Pero me ofrecieron ayuda con las maletas y resolvieron wifi cambiándome de habitación. Muchas gracias. A la fachada del edificio le falta mantenimiento. Sugiero retirar maniquí del balcón piso 1, es un maniquí de señor vestido como mesero antiguo. Pero no te esperas verlo al abrir el balcón de noche. Ha ha! Alguien no advertido se asusta.
L'emplacement face à la plage, à proximité du centre.Hotel sympathique dans l'esprit britannique. Personnel agréable et disponible. La chance d'avoir une place de parking.
Ascenseur en panne. Mais cela à permis de faire de l'exercice.
Great hotel with lovely staff. Room was spatious and clean. Staff is very kind and helpful. Would stay again!
Nothing it was a good stay.
Free parking. Friendly staff and late checkout available
Shower drain needs to be looked at.
Quiet room Comfy beds Nice size bathroom Plenty of room to move between beds
Only little things.... Not many power sockets. No shower safety mat or rail in the shower. When booking it mentioned bathrobes & slippers, we didn't see those. They really are little things though.
Beautiful sea view
Fijne locatie in een historisch pand. Hele vriendelijke receptie medewerkers. Gezellige woonkamer/bar. Klantvriendelijk.
Het pand en de faciliteiten zijn zeer oud en slecht onderhouden.
Ottima posizione e il parcheggio di fronte all'hotel è comodissimo. Colazione abbondante
La camera era un pò calda non avendo l'aria condizionata, ma effettivamente la temperatura esterna era molto alta.
Das Personal war sehr nett . Wir konnten unser Frühstück auswählen. Es wurde frisch zubereitet. Das Zimmer war klein, aber sehr kompakt. Es gab einen Fön und ein Bügeleisen Die Lage ist zentral
Der Aufzug war kaputt. Einen Kühlschrank im Zimmer habe ich vermisst
The reception staff was very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was nice and our room had a sea view!
Only that the WiFi on the last floor was not accessible.
The staff were lovely and the location was great - but sadly those were the only positives for us.
For the price per night over a weekend, we felt that the hotel was lacking basic amenities. The standard double room was very small, with a very outdated bathroom. The shower tray was stained, the toilet roll holder broken, and even an opened tampon in a decorative pot on the side?! The hotel also didn't stock any shampoo in the room, and had a very old and slightly offputting no name shower gel in the bathroom. The signage in the room was also outdated - mentioning robes when none were provided. On the whole for us it didn't live up to our expectations.
The staff were very good and also the location. We liked the size of the room (family room) and that we were able to get parking there by arriving early. There was also a bar and good sized lounge to relax in. Plenty of tea and coffee in the room
The lift wasn't working and we were on the third floor - although we had been warned. The door didn't lock and the chain wouldn't go through the holder. The windows were in poor condition, needing painting and repair so they would stay up independently. The shower had very weak pressure. Didn't like it had no hand held attachment.
Location, lovely view of the sea. Lovely staff
Good but there was bugs
That I couldn’t eat in my room
On seafront free parking good breakfast
All ok
Hotel was clean and comfortable. Staff were excellent, always ready to help.
Lift was out of order, which was an inconvenience when you were on the 4th floor. This would be a problem for people with mobility issues as the stairs are quite steep.
Beds are comfortable. Inside the rooms are clean and the bathroom is clean. Lobby is very nice and calming. The staff is very kind. Location is amazing.
Elevator doesn‘t work. Bird feces outside the windows. Windows are so old some of them wasnt possible to close. Fan was very dusty so we couldn‘t use it.
The staff are polite and friendly

Fab location, 15 mins walk from pier comfortable rooms everything you need there. Friendly welcoming staff, very helpful too 24/7 reception and bar open if needed to get drink.if u get there early you could secure a free parking space or cheaper permit option if not
Lage, Personal
Das Haus ist sehr abgesagt, ich bin da sehr empfindlich. Dem Rest der Familie hat es nichts ausgemacht. Der Fahrstuhl war kaputt
Easy access to the part of Brighton we were visiting. Check in great. Car spaces available. Bed was comfortable. Room clean. Toiletries available in the bathroom.
No air con but to be honest I wasn't expecting air con - it was a hot weekend that was all.
