"In need of a good refurbishment."

I had a basement room with no window. Glad it was only a one night stay. WOULD NOT REVISIT

"For older people, looking for an inexpensive hotel, excellent."

Of course the hotel is a little bit the worst for wear but : rooms are large, beds clean and comfortable , hot shower. At the price, a bargain!

"Outstanding value!"

I`ve stayed at the Royal Albion Hotel three times now and have to say that the value for money there is simply unbeatable. Cheapest rates I could find in Brighton, yet it`s in such a great location (on the seafront, directly opposite the pier, and only a short walk from the station). Friendly, helpful staff and fairly large, clean rooms. Highly recommended.

"Ran down disappointment "

When I made my reservation I didn`t look at what others had said. Read other reviews. Our room was very small maybe 10 X 12 feet the furniture was old the finish chipped and worn. The wall paper was coming off the wall. the air conditioning didn`t work and the window was tiny so we couldn`t get cool air. I`m very sorry I booked this for our 28th anniversary.

"Good hotel for the money"

I paid £45 a night for a single room which was upgraded to a twin. Clean room with firm matresses and good bathroom. For the money this was a very good value hotel

"Good standard for the amount that I paid"

We were in Brighton for concert and just needed a cheap and cheerful room for the night. The hotel is a good size in a fantastic location with really reasonable rates. The rooms are not fancy but have everything that is necessary and the staff were helpful. Would stay here again for the money that I paid which was cheaper than the travelodge.

Would have liked a toaster to use for fresh hot toast. Toast on offer in a basket seemed cold and old. Missed having a window in the bedrooms. Otherwise room was nice.

"Not as advertised"

Excellent location, wi fi was signed as only available ground floor, badly maintained bathroom had broken shower head and mould on grout lines on tiles and last guest used left over toiletries still on shelf, tv control batteries held in with tape, breakfast was awful and chaotic in restaurant. Expected bit more for what we paid.

"hotel was dated, breakfast terrible and we had problems with the door lock to our room"

A 10am check out time is to early and was faulsey advertised in the room literature by saying 11am. We paid an extra 10 pound to keep the room on for an hour.

"A total let down, Noisy, damp, smelly, water leaking through ceiling, breakfast like a cattle market"

Booked for 2 nights, checked out after 1st night... Was just awful.. And the so called breakfast buffett was absolutely dreadful. Would not book here again under any circumstances!! Tv broke, water leaking through ceiling.. Maintenance man just barged into room because he had another leak downstairs and wanted to check if was coming from our room. Got no sleep due to room being right on main road with no double glazing.. Sounded like we had the windows open.

"Booked last minute for one night only and we were really pleased with our choice."

Booked online. On arrival our check-in was quick and efficient. Room was spacious. Bed very comfy. Large spa-bath in bathroom was an unexpected bonus. Breakfast was excellent (amazing mushrooms!). All staff we came into contact with were very pleasant. Would definitely recommend.

"You get what you pay for"

"Dirty room and poor service from breakfast staff"

Carpet badly stained,past guests rubbish and socks left in the bathroom and in tea facilities drawer. Breakfast staff didn`t speak , walked into me with hot plates and didn`t speak or apologise ! Then started to clear table while I wad still eating and using tea cup. Wouldn`t stay there again or recommend . Views from room lovely but the rest of the stay was dreadful.

"Cant beat it for value!"

Excellent location, we had a big room that would sleep 3, full breakfast included, for the price you couldnt get better. The one thing that was really off putting was the heat! I know its December and it has been snowing in the previous weeks but everywhere the heating was on full blast. The restaurant was unbearable... I just about managed to finish my breakfast then fled for air! I dont know how the staff could work in those conditions. However, I will be back!

"Nice Hotel, Great Position, Would Recommend"

I stayed at this hotel with my family and would recommend it as it is ideally positioned for the beach and seafront. The rooms were large with great seaviews and were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was fairly good but not the best I`ve ever had.
