Holiday Inn Portsmouth by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location is very close to the sea, which gives the hotel a real resort-like atmosphere. The room was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed our stay."

DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole

8/10 Good

"We had a generally pleasant stay, the twin room was OK, bathroom very small and we found the beds small and uncomfortable. The bedside table was dirty, covered in sticky marks from glasses. Breakfast was very good in an elegant dining room. It was enjoyable to use the pool and jacuzzi. The connected car parking is useful."

West Beach Hotel Brighton

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, great room with an brilliant view of the sea! Only problem was the shower, which sometimes only ran cold. That said, I would stay again."

The Grand Brighton

8/10 Good

"Everything about our stay was great, and we really enjoyed it. My only comment is regarding the information on Expedia, which states that pets stay free and parking is free. This wasn’t the case — the hotel charges £50 per day for a dog and £40 per day for parking. I’m not sure whether the incorrect information is coming from Expedia or the hotel, but I would recommend checking directly with the hotel rather than relying on the Expedia listing, as these are significant additional costs."
