"We had a wonderful stay. The staff were all so friendly and helpful without exception. The location is great and our room exceeded our expectations. The pool was out of use during our visit but that was no fault of the hotel staff. We loved Brighton and would stay here again."

8/10 Good
"Clean room, comfortable beds, fans provided for hot room. Issue with hand set not working for TV, dealt with promptly. Had problems at breakfast. Poor breakfast offering, food in deep bowls on a hot plate and when explained food was cold was told to stir the bowl and take the food from the bottom, but by that time, I had put up with the cold food. Coffee machine not working properly. and when dealt with, the amount of coffee in the latte was more like warm milk with very little coffee. This is a nice hotel and was happy with the room, but would not take breakfast in the future for which they were charging £16.95 each person as this was poor value for a cold breakfast."

The Burlington Hotel

The Burlington Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was adequate, the buffet breakfasts were excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful - my only criticism was the shower in the bathroom was antiquated. Not only was the water pressure extremely weak - the water stopped flowing when the shower spray-head was raised to head height making it impossible to wash your hair, there was no water temperature control - you had to turn on the hot and cold taps separately - but because the water pressure was so poor, the hot tap had to be fully on and if you put the cold tap slightly on to reduce the temperature, the water went stone cold. In the end , we ended up having strip washes at the hand basin. Such a shame as everything else was very good."
