Maldron Hotel Brighton City Centre

Maldron Hotel Brighton City Centre

10/10 Excellent
"Had an amazing few days exploring Brighton, made all the better by the hotel and staff. The people on reception were happy to answer questions and recommend places to go. Special shout out to the gent covering nights who had to keep letting me back in. AC and WIFI were reliable, room was clean and well equipped. Location is amazing too - was quiet at night but still only 30 second walk from the seafront or a shopping centre. Overall I cant fault them and will be staying here again next time."
