10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, good location, stayed here before"

Leonardo Hotel Brighton

Staybridge Suites Brighton by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Ideally situated next to the railway station. Great room, good size, really good room facilities, especially if planning a longer stay, particularly suitable for those travelling for business. Exceptionally good free breakfast, the best we've experienced in a long while. Good quality produce and hot (rather than luke warm which seems to be the norm in bigger chains, who offer over priced options). We were only there for one night, but will definitely return when we next return to Brighton."
