Independent Brighton and Hove hotels

"Our room was clean and well serviced. I ask for an accessible room near the lift which was arranged with no bother. The staff were very cheerful and helpful willing to assist you in any way they could."

"Second time at Leonardo Royal Brighton and still as good as the last time. Our favourite Hotel chain. Friendly staff and everything we need. No doubt we will be back! "

"Highly recommend if you want a comfortable, friendly, no frills stay in a place maintained at a high standard. We had a very warm welcome from Aya (sp?) who was gracious and helpful to us in our exhausted and jet lagged state. Other staff members were very helpful with questions as well. Room 21 is on the third floor, which is quite a few stairs (no lift/elevator) so if you have any mobility challenges keep that in mind when booking. Spotlessly clean, the room had 2 chairs, table, bed with side tables, luggage stand, and mini fridge. A closet had hangers, safe, kettle with tea/coffee and one cupboard. There is no dresser so your clothes stay in your bags. Mattress is on the firm side. The bathroom is narrow with a powerful shower that has plenty of hot water. The sink is quite small with room for a toothbrush and little else as there isn't a countertop or vanity. No area for products or toiletry bags except one shelf above the toilet. Of course this is an older building and with that comes creaky floorboards and the occasional noise of another room's door closing as people are leaving in the morning. No needless bright lights from electronics in the room as I have often encountered in hotels once all the lights are off and you've got into bed. St James Street around the corner has a Co-op and Morrisons for any snacks you may need as well as cafes and restaurants."

"I really enjoyed staying in this hotel which is just a year old. The buffet-style breakfast had everything you could possibly want, with fresh food being added right until the end of the breakfast sitting, which ended at 11am. I found this hotel a perfect base for exploring Brighton City Centre and is also within a reasonable walking distance of Hove, where I enjoyed watching some cricket at Sussex County Cricket Club. Waling along the seafront is great fun not just for the fresh sea air but also for checking out a range of tourist attarctions such as the 'upside down house'."
