Top Hotels Near Clayton Tunnel North Portal in Hassocks from NZ$99

"View from the room was outstanding! Definitely worth visiting the hotel for this. Big comfy bed also. Location great on the seafront. Could hear noise from outside / other guests, but personally this didn't bother me. Hotel in general is tired around the edges, could do with a spruce up especially for the price you pay. Disappointing dinner in the restaurant - much better on offer in Brighton, would venture out. "

"A Fantastic Stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole Just back from an outstanding two‑night stay at the Brighton Metropole from Friday to Sunday, and I can honestly say it exceeded our expectations. Brighton was blessed with glorious sunshine all weekend, which made our stay even better — but the hotel itself was the real highlight. A special thank‑you to Kostas (Guest Services – DTHBM) for arranging Room 307 for us. The room was excellent: spacious, comfortable, and complete with a balcony offering stunning sea views across Brighton beach. Waking up to that view was unforgettable. The manager and wider team were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay. The pool facilities were great, perfect for relaxing, and the Met Bar had a friendly, relaxed atmosphere — ideal for casual drinks and dining. Service there was super friendly and attentive, and we really enjoyed spending time there. A big shout‑out as well to the reception team, especially Erik and (I believe) Ellie, for their warm service and, of course, the free warm cookies — a small touch that makes a big difference. The hotel’s location is perfect, offering easy access to Brighton’s attractions, the seafront, and everything the city has to offer. I can absolutely recommend the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole, and I’m hoping to book another one‑night stay soon, budget permitting. A brilliant experience from start to finish. "

"It’s a good place to stay "

"I don't think I can praise this place enough. It's even better than in the photos. It is beautifully decorated, pristinely clean, and has lovely welcoming touches throughout the place, including treats, toys and a bowl for my dog. Communication was clear and easy before and during my stay, and when I bumped into Rosie a couple of times she was absolutely lovely (as was Nellie the spaniel!) I loved it so much here for my first two weeks that I immediately booked again to extend my stay. The washing machine and cleaning products available mean you can keep the place clean and tidy. I am sure you can request a cleaner if you felt the need. The shower isn't particularly powerful, but it's only noticeable because the rest of the studio is so excellent. Both I and my dog have felt completely at ease here. The bed is comfortable, the towels are extremely soft, and the kitchenette is well equipped enough that you don't miss having a hob. The milk frother felt like such an add-on that I can't imagine not having a cappuccino each morning with that gorgeous view over the downs. This area of Brighton still has free street parking, but the shops aren't far, the bus routes into town are easy and so many green walking routes are available just a few streets along. The golf course and Wild Park are wonderful and can take you straight up to Stanmer Park, while Withdean Park has a fully enclosed large dog park.If you're visiting Brighton, this is the place to book."

"Clean room. Great staff. Ate there a few times and food quality food"

"Just the most wonderful Christmas and New Year holiday for 9 of us visiting from different parts of the globe. The Mill was beautiful! Warm, cosy and ideal for different age groups. We were there from 12/21 to 1/3 and still didn’t want to leave. Ruth & John (owners/hosts) were lovely. When we arrived there was a very thoughtful welcome gift (including delicious bottle of local Albourne Bacchus wine). Ruth had already asked exactly how we’d like each bedroom set up (double or twin), every bedroom had beautiful quality white sheets and bedding, each bathroom lovely thick white towels and everywhere was clean and comfortable, making it easy for us to maintain during our stay and with so many of us there. Ruth also organised for an interim clean/laundry change half-way through our stay which was great. We were able to organise a log delivery for the log burning stove and loved the opportunity to be altogether, as well as visiting our local friends and family, all our old haunts, pubs, restaurants and 14 days of family time. It was perfect, thank you Ruth & John"
