Great location
Bed and pillows were very hard No parking g which we knew - hotel offer a parking permit (£10 for 24hrs) but were surprised to have a parking ticket when we returned (obviously not the fault of the hotel but just for awareness)
De ligging aan zee van het hotel was wel prima.
De kamer was ver beneden peil. Het bed stond tegen de muur, zodat één van de personen geen nachtkast had, en over het voeteneind of over de partner heen naar zijn plek moest kruipen. De deur van de badkamer sloot niet, zodat iemand die zijn behoefte deed op de WC totaal geen privacy had. De kamer was vochtig en bedompt, maar het raam was met geen mogelijkheid open te krijgen. Het ontbijt was duur en alles behalve royaal, omdat voor ieder 'extra' (een glaasje sap, een extra ei) moest worden bijbetaald. De bar was zeer lawaaiig, zodat het - ondanks het aardige uitzicht op zee - eigenlijk geen optie was om beneden te verblijven. Hotel adverteert met 'parkeervoorzieiningen', maar heeft deze niet.
Check-in was fast and efficient. Our room was clean, bed very comfortable and toilet and shower immaculate. View of the Brighton seafront and Palace Pier from the bay window also helped make our stay memorable. Breakfast was well-prepared, with very friendly service.
One minor criticism is that the main roller blind in the bay window was very difficult to use and needs fixing.
Nice clean good breakfast
Comfortable bed
Poor ventilation
Fab location; great welcome; very clean; amazing views from the room.
Nothing! Everything was great.
We hadden een kamer aan de achterkant van het hotel en daar waren meerdere airco’s die veel geluid produceerden. Twee nachten slecht geslapen!
De plek van de kamer.
Attention to request
Nothing to improve upon
We go to this Hotel all the time in Brighton
Na
A lovely, well placed hotel, clean and comfortable.The room was light and airy and well designed.
Nothing!
Excellent location. Clean, great staff and close to everything. Parking information a little vague as states parking nearby but isn’t dedicated to the hotel.
It’s been a few months since our last visit and once again Legends was fabulous. The fact that two staff (Lenka and Liam) remembered us and our specific dietary needs at breakfast was amazing. Legends is amazing but the staff are legendary. We will be back
Yes the club is noisy till the early hours but we knew that and the hotel make that clear when you book
Absolutely brilliant stay. Staff are attentive and friendly. Location is incredible. Rooms are well sized and the beds comfortable.
As it’s on top of a bar it can get noisy late in the evening, but they provide earplugs which is lovely!
Rooms were lovely and staff friendly
Our room was superb! Comfortable and spacious with wonderful views of seafront and pier. We loved sitting in the comfy chairs with the table in the large bay window taking in the view and listening to the sound of the waves! All of the staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We will definitely be back!
A little less drag would have suited us better, so perhaps more variety in entertainment would be our suggestion.
Great view - great breakfast - great staff - spotlessly clean
Bed was a little collapsed in the middle so gave me back ache but other than that was fine
Great room, really spacious and exceptionally clean. Staff polite, approachable and happy to help. Resident parking provided
As with most hotels the mattress slightly hard
All good as usual
The poor quality of the shower in this day and age - needs improving Breakfast at 7.30am start too late for a working day
The room was lovely. The staff were very nice and accommodating and helpful. The breakfast was nice, not much variety but it was lovely. The location was spot on for our event.
N/A
Clean and attractive public areas with nice bar, entertainment and excellent terrace on the sea front road.
Very clean room, but very small with view of beech and pier through single glazed windows. Mattress sagged in the middle. Bathroom tiny. Breakfast was poor with extra charges for toast, orange juice and anything not included in the basic menu items.
Our room was sparkly clean. The shower was hot and powerful. Staff super friendly. Will definitely return.
Would have been nice to have some conditioner in the shower. But that is a teeny tiny gripe, that is all.
As I paid over £400 for 3 nights, excluding breakfast, I didn't have breakfast because I didn't want to spend anymore money at Legends.
Constant loud noise in the room from extractor fans by the window Room was overly hot Lack of interest and customer care from management
Close to everything
Small bathroom but all good
Location is perfect to access all the sights of Brighton
Parking is difficult but the hotel offered a discounted permit
Location
Room was very small. Bathroom door didn't shut. Soap dispenser didn't work. Nowhere to store clothes other than a few hangers. Noisy until 3am (though earplugs left by the bed were a warning of that). Bathroom had the smallest sink I have ever used.
Great location and very clean
It’s above a very loud nightclub which we were unaware of when booking, and being on the first floor meant it was difficult to get to sleep until 4 am
The location is excellent and the layout is great.
Nothing.
Lively and friendly
Nothing
Location and good atmosphere an vibe
My room was very small and had to climb into bed …
Location cleanliness friendly staff
Can be a bit noisy but to be expected it’s a bar/ nightclub
I liked the location.
Didn’t get what I ordered for breakfast on two of the three days.
Great location and friendly staff
Nothing
Great friendly staff. Excellent location. Busy vibrant atmosphere. Lovely food. Very friendly and helpful staff.
we had a sea view king room and the room was enormous we didnt try breakfast as it wasn't included in the price
Everything was good
room is compact has everything you need. location great for the sea front, marina and town centre. Friendly helpful staff, checked in late with no issues.
nothing
Great location and very clean. Staff were all fantastic
Price was quite high but it was August BH. Room and bathroom were small but good quality
Very nice sea view bed need to be more comfortable needs updated but place was nice and staff was great felt very safe as security in the evening
Very clean lovely staff comfortable friendly on the front a great place to stay
Nothing all good
Staff were fabulous and very attentive
Room was tiny , pillows were awful Folding door to the tiny bathroom didnt shut properly
Excellent location facing the sea and within easy access to the attractions and good bus routes
All good
Lovely staff
Room very small
Lovely size room great views
Sink needs plug / looked at / loo needs deep clean . Middle window blinds sorted 👌
Prachtige plek, aan het strand, ruime kamer, heel centraal in Brighton. Vriendelijke medewerkers.
Er is geen airco. Ik kan me voorstellen dat wanneer het warm is, de kamer ook erg warm kan worden. Er is wel een ventilator.
Location General fees of the hotel. Ie very friendly
Parking can be a bit of a nightmare
We hadden de grotere luxe kamer en deze was perfect!
Great breakfast, excellent service and staff.
Pillows
Convenient, clean and good value.
Lady at reception was rude and short tempered with the whole party
Location, view, lovely staff
Shower was a bit difficult to enjoy
The staff were very helpful and friendly which made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast was good value for money. Close to the beach.
A clean comfortable room, near the sea in Brighton, very friendly staff and a great location.
The Hotel and friendly staff, room was compact and had everything needed for a vacation, very clean. Great location, we always come back to Legends, best Hotel in our opinion.
Some of the rooms are small but still clean.
Location
No air conditioning
The staff, they were all amazing and welcoming.
There was nothing they could have done better.
Good energy
Nothing was bad
The location was convenient for the Madness concert On The Beach and the staff were pleasant, other than that nothing else was likeable for us.
Where do we start ........... firstly, it was the most expensive hotel that we have ever stayed and definitely the smallest (there wasn't even room to put my shoes on at the side of the bed). The room was stuffy even with the small fan on full speed. The bed was a small-double sized bed and wasn't very comfortable. The TV was small and there was very little clothes storage (nowhere for hanging my wife's dress). The bathroom had a bi-folding door, which was broken and couldn't be closed from inside. The bathroom comprised of a shower cubicle, toilet and wash hand basin all squeezed into the tiniest of spaces. Despite the high room rate there was no breakfast included in the price and so we made our own arrangements at a local Wetherspoons (The Post & Telegraph).
Everything was so close , great staff clean and fun
Room was very hot 🥵
I had a very difficult journey before I arrived, but they got me sorted quickly and simply and I was able to be by myself in next to no time. The staff were very kind, very welcoming and the breakfast was lovely, and the air con was a godsend , as was the iron, ironing baord and hairdryer Best part was the audience and the drag queens when the club/bar was open ever night. The atmosphere was right; people drank, laughed and danced and it was somewhere they could be themselves. There was no drama, it was just fun. Looking to stat another time in the future on a different night to see what else they have on. Brighton itself seems to welcome everyone and Legends was no exception
Not the hotel itself, but the heat needed to do one
Friendly staff Great location Very good breakfast
Small room No aircon or fan (heatwave!)
the bed and the views
The fact that the is a club in the hotel that is going on until 4am in the morning There is nothing saying that there is a club in the hotel that pay music and shows until later than 3am
en face du pier et vue sur mer
The room was small and bathroom narrow. Very hot room we couldn't sleep at night. They put small fan not make cool. The room's window was sea front and it was some some kitchen fans and make loud noise we couldn't sleep.when we ask to change the room the staff just said sorry not helping at all
Room, staff ,and the hotel facilities
Wonderful location. We had a Sea view with great view of the pier and lots of interesting shops, cafes etc in easy walking distance as well as the beach. The room was comfortable and clean and had all we needed
No major problems - there was a bit of noise from the bar but we had been warned about that and it didn't keep us awake
Cleanliness, atmosphere, staff are all so friendly, location, entertainment, lovely breakfast.
There wasn’t anything.
Location is perfect as opposite the beach, and a short walk to the Pier or into town. Very friendly staff, and does a very nice cooked breakfast.
The window views
The basement club playing loud music till 6am leaving next morning with no sleep whatsoever
Great location Helpful & friendly staff Clean Good powerful shower Usb sockets by bed
Every thing
location brilliant, staff pleasant and on point.Breakfasts were very good.
Rooms alot smaller than expected,compared to how they looked on line,parking isnt explained clear enough on website but i do apprecite location of hotel,shower was very small and we had a view of the back of houses and a dead pigeon, also quite nosey due to extraction ductwork.
Had a fantastic time staff are amazing I
We were evicted from the hotel after I had words with jobsworth security guards on the door who challenged us as to or residency around 10.00 pm. My partner was frogmarched up to our room and made to pack in the dark. While I was made to wait outside. We were told we would not be refunded for the room and also the breakfasts which we paid for in advance. The hotel staff were not interested and effective threw us out onto the street. We have stayed at legends on many occasions without any problems but will not be going back due the the heavy handed security and staff bullies. Do not book this hotel
Disgraceful attitude by hotel staff and door security
Lovely stay. Staff were so welcoming and the hotel was very clean and comfortable. Facilities were excellent.
Shower door was a pain.
I liked how close it was to the sea and the friendly staff
How small the lifts and rooms were
The view was really nice, you're near everything and the staff provide earplugs as it can be a bit noisy.
We found many bugs in our bed, most of them don't fly. We couldn't close out window properly and there were still glitters on some side of the room like on the bathroom door.
Always so good here. Many visits, never disappoints. Staff are just gorgeous, breakfast is fabulous and the views (from the right room) are beautiful. Sitting on the Terrace with a glass is Heaven! 🌸🩷🥂 Also very accommodating for storing luggage, so your final day doesn't have to end at 11, you can get a coffee, relax and squeeze the last drops from your stay. 🏖
Great location. enjoyed the patio bar overlooking the beach and pier.
Good location
Felt they couldnt cope at breakfast time. Needed more staff that weekend.
Lovely hotel run by people who care
Excellent location right on the Sea Front. Lovely large terrace at front of Hotel. Spacious room with nice shower and comfortable beds. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would def stay again.
Only thing was the TV as you couldn't get a signal. Room 309 Guys.
Good location, nice hotel.
The room was a bit small but comfortable.
La vue et la localisation sont exceptionnelles. Le personnel formidable. Pour la ville, le rapport localisation/ prix est très bien.
La taille du lit tant en longueur qu'en largeur. Le manque d'insonorisation.
The venue was brilliantly placed and The Staff very helpful and friendly and a great view of the pier.
It's a constant problem and I blame Booking.com as well as the venders. They keep stipulating there is parking but when you get there, there isn't you have to pay a private company or council, it's annoying, frustrating and most importantly mis leading. The other annoying one is when there is car parking but you have to pay extra, please stipulate clearly in the description.
Friendly staff
The room was tiny. Fitted a double bed and that was it. Also - for a ‘gay’ hotel, you’d expect bathrooms to be set up for the needs of the customer.
L'accueil très sympa et l'emplacement est parfait..la possibilité de boire un verre au bar ou un café face à la mer est vraiment sympa.
Notre chambre donnait sur les toits, donc la vue n'était pas super.
Great location and the staff was really freindly and helpfull
No air conditioning.
Clean, modern,
No onsite parking but staff super helpful and actually it was easy to find on street parking.
Staff, get the biggest room facing the sea - it is worth the premium.
so pleased we didn't get a cheaper room, that would have been a great disappointment. Bathrooms are probably due an update.
Lovley hotel. Room was very clean. Staff friendly.
Nothing to dislike.
Everything about Legends is just fabulous. The bar, the food, the facilities, the rooms, the entertainment, the vibe and most of all the staff!
Nothing
Location, comfortable bed, close to to the sea, food at the restaurant, staff very friendly and communicative and helpful.
The room was extremely small, the floor was making noise when walking in the room, rooms very close so you can hear other people slamming the doors or walking on the hallway, they take your card details at the checking in to charge you in case the room has any damages, but this is not specified at the booking stage - you must take pictures/ video of everything when arrive in the room, just in case. The bathroom is also very small and you can barely move inside the shower cabin.
Nice position, good bar friendly staff
We loved our stay. We had a seafront room, which had plenty of space and was clean. The view from the room was great looking straight out to the ocean. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The lift was appreciated with our suitcases. Please note if parking is required it is street parking within a zone perimeter surrounding the hotel, however the vouchers and process was clearly explained at check in. There is a bar downstairs which had nice drinks, we were fortunate enough to stay during Pride weekend and was able to see a couple of shows performed there also. We stayed for an ‘On the beach’ event, so it was very easy access to attend across the road. Also appreciated the staff storing our bags past check out time to allow us more time in Brighton before we needed to leave.
Not an issue for us as we were coming for an event and we appreciated the vibe, but there is a nightclub in the basement and there was a bit of noise from revellers late at night (we did also leave our windows open), however there was complementary earplugs in the room, not that we used them.
Excellent room and view, staff great and helpful
Noise in the early hours of the night, 3/ 4 am music was ok but people drinking outside were noise and shouting
Always good here..the staff are fabulous! So friendly and helpful. Brekkies great value and room wonderful. Best room in the house 308...!😉👸🩷🩷💋
Everything about our stay was excellent... Thankyou 😊
Great location at a reasonable price.
Pillows were way too thin. Windows need double-glazing as it is noisy at night.
Bed was comfortable and the room was spotless, staff are welcoming and polite. We was in Brighton to see FatBoy Slim concert and the hotel was opposite the beach where it was held. Epic night and epic hotel. Fat boy thanks to all the staff
Loved the location and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Breakfast lovely and nicely served to you. None of that buffet style you get else where!
Parking was bit tricky but you can park in the town and get a permit voucher from reception.
I thought the location was excellent, lovely views of the sea front and close to all the shops and attractions.
I would have liked a bigger room so next time I will look at what other options are available.
The breakfast was good! The room and the location were perfect!
The location of the hotel was perfect for us ( my daughter and I, both straight) as we were going to the Fatboy Slim gig on Maderia Drive. We paid a bit extra for the superior king room with sea view and we were certainly not disappointed! Definitely one of the best views in Brighton. It was also an easy walk into the city centre. We arrived a couple of hours before check in time but had no issues with leaving our bags at reception while we had a couple of drinks on the terrace then wandered in to the city. I couldn’t fault the staff at the hotel from the bar staff to the receptionist to the security later in the night after the gig. All in all a wonderful stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel to family and friends
I would have marked higher except for 2 things. Unfortunately the 1st thing we check on arrival are dust on top of picture frames etc. When my daughter ran her fingers over these there was a fair bit of muck on the pictures and other fixings. Also we were both a little disappointed with the water pressure of the shower
