Lovely hotel
The room and service was excellent but I just dont like their shower, it is so hard to control and balance the water temperature. It could either be too cold or too hot. Overall, our stay was really nice. The staff are very welcoming and friendly.

If you are use to hotel experience this accommodation is not for you. The location is very central to local amenities and 2min walk to the beach which is great. But once you enter you are basically in your room which is clean and tidy for the price you pay.

Was a great place to stay for a couple days, very friendly staff and the room was perfect with a nice view. Only issue was parking, with limited spaces outside definitely need to do some research before hand if you plan to drive. Great time overall, thanks

A warm, clean and safe respite from hectic London
Richard at Marine View Hotel has been a warm, welcoming and wonderful host right from the beginning, especially coming in from a rather hectic business week in London. This stay was exactly what I needed for some peace, quiet and safe space to recover from a terribly delayed onset jet lag coming from Singapore and the work week in London. I appreciate him checking on me to ensure I’m comfortable and have everything I required, as well as to respect my preference in taking precaution against covid. Other than a clean, warm, comfortable and safe environment, the accommodation is well located near the beach and walking distance to the shopping areas (local cafes, restaurants and pubs). This comes in handy, especially since I had taken a bad fall whilst in London and was trying to rest and recuperate. Marine View Hotel comes highly recommended and I will be rebooking here when I return to London in the future. (I have enjoyed my stay so much that I have also left a Google Review on Maps for others who may otherwise have reservations, or may not be using Hotels.com)

The host was great and helped us with parking and a quick easy checking. Very friendly. The room was basic but perfect for our one night stay. Perfect location for the lanes, restaurants and bars. Apologies for over sleeping and missing check out (so embarrassing) Thank you for being so kind about it. We would stay again

Outstanding
The host was the most loving and caring person. For two young females it can be quite intimidating to go to a new city and stay in a hotel. However, the host was so welcoming and made us feel so safe, he gave us the best top tips to go out for food and for a drink. The room was tidy and clean and bathroom was at the desired standards and perfect for what we needed. He showed us around as soon as we got there and showed us all the complimentary’s that we needed throughout our stay. We will 100% be staying here again and look forward too seeing him again.

Very sorry to hear you have had a bad experience. Shame you did not let us know of any problems while you were here, as we would have made every effort to fix everything for you. We will give the room you stayed in a deep clean & check all facilities. Thanks

Dated old decor, whistling water taps and creaky doors. The room was freezing as rattly big sash windows with no draught excluders. The heating was in full blast all night and was still cold. It was a shocking experience. They didn't even have a cheap fan heater available. Absolute joke. When we went to breakfast I saw that the window sill in the bay windows was filthy. Dust and grime all around. The service was good from the guy that checked us and served breakfast. Should of paid half the price and got a Travelodge. Lesson learned

Overpriced average hotel
We booked a Superior Double room but were given a different room without being told. We didn't realise until later as we had been in a rush to head straight out - but then thought it would be fine & we didn't want to make a fuss. But when we actually went to bed we realised the double bed in the room was actually a roll out camping bed & not a proper bed. The other option was 2 twin beds - not ideal for a couples weekend away. We took time booking our hotel & specifically chose the room. We would have appreciated being told the room was different and been given the choice. Also the room was FREEZING on arrival, so we told the host as we went out for the day who said 'Oh yes, I'll sort that and I'm going to bleed the radiators while you're out'. Strange to need to bleed the radiators immediately after our arrival? But anyway, when we returned, the room was even colder as it was evening, & the radiators were still off - so we had to turn them on ourselves & get ready for the evening while still wearing our coats in the room as it was SO cold. The shower was hot but with v.minimal power. Low end breakfast with microwaved scrambled eggs. On check out we asked the host about the room & he said that he gave us a better room in his opinion. I explained that we should have been given the choice. I expect the room we booked was not available as we saw it had been slept in. The host helped carry our bags to our room - this was the best bit.

Friendly, comfortable, and relaxed stay
Really friendly service, even looked after my bag after I'd checked out so I didn't have to carry it about on my last day in Brighton. Enjoyed the sea view from my room.
View from my room - sea and pier. I sat in the comfy chair and looked out for a while.

Lovely place to stay. It was close to the beach and town. The owner was very friendly and we was able to check in early. So we could leave our bags and go into town. Would definitely stay there again.

Good for the price
We were welcomed warmly by the owner. He was very helpful. We were shown to our room on the 3rd floor and the owner gave us a hand with our bags. The room was small but clean with a small tv. The bed was ok. There were tea and coffee in the room. The hotel could do with double glazing as the noise from the street at night was a definite issue. Car parking was a nightmare. You have to wait till a space becomes free on the circular area outside which gets busy. As the rooms are so close together you can hear everything from people in adjacent rooms. Breakfast was between 8 and 9 which doesn’t give you much of a lay in. Breakfast itself was very nice and plentiful. The stafff were very attractive and very charming. If you are looking for a nice little one night stay it’s fine.

basement room
We had a basement room, stairs were narrow and steep would not be suitable for elder people/ kids. Curtains falling apart could not even close them one night, and they were not thick enough to keep the light from the lamp post out.However the room was clean and the owner was very friendly.

As soon as we arrived I had to give my credit card details (including the security code) before being taken to the room. The room was 'cosy' and dirty. The bedside table lamps were turned on by touching the base – when I did this my fingers were covered in dust. Also one didn't work and the shades were shabby. There was dust on top the wardrobe and all light and box switches were dirty. The skirting boards were filthy. I wiped a small area of the skirting board and showed it to the owners asking if the room could be cleaned. I didn't notice a great improvement after it had been done. The breakfast room had obviously not been hovered as there was food on the floor from the previous day. On a positive note the cooked breakfast was good - but in addition there was only juice and cereal on offer and NO fresh fruit
