Built in the 1820s, the historic Grade II Listed Beach Hotel has a great location in the center of Brighton. It offers a popular restaurant and traditional rooms, just 328 feet from the beach. There is a wide range of bars and restaurants within just a few minutes’ walk of the hotel.
Brighton’s famous Pier, the Royal Pavillion, rail station and vibrant night life are all less than a mile away. All rooms at the Beach have a TV, free tea and coffee facilities and many boast views of the sea front or West Pier. Each private bathroom also includes a hairdryer.
Locally caught fish and seafood are served at The Regency, Brighton’s oldest restaurant. Guests can dine on the outdoor terrace, with views of the West Pier. The i360 is directly opposite to the hotel.
The Brighton Center is just a 3 minute walk.

I liked the staff. They were very friendly and welcoming. Rooms were comfortable, with a good view of the sea. The breakfast was superb. It was lovely and warm in the room. The reception had a beautiful Christmas tree and the seats were comfortable. Everything was clean and ready for us to arrive. Rooms cleaned on a daily basis. Coffee and tea facilities left for us.
Little not to like. Perhaps the size of the bathroom, which was on the narrow side but it was clean and warm. Towels and condiments left for us.. But the price of the room was very reasonable, especially for this time of the year.

It’s a lovely old hotel. Stayed here a few times. But it’s showing its age in the rooms.
We like it. It’s clean and staff are amazing. So friendly and welcoming.

We enjoyed our stay at The Beach Hotel very much. The receptionists and the ladies at breakfast were very helpful and friendly to us. We loved the location of the property. The dinner at the nearby restaurant was simply amazing, the food so delicious!
It was a little cold in the room for our liking, but this was solved by providing an electric heater.

Excellent clean white sheets and fluffy white towels. Toiletries and tea and coffee. beautiful view from the window towards the beach and the pier. Very friendly staff. Hot water and heating all worked well. Bacon at breakfast was very good quality.
The pillows were like slabs of thin hard cement. Corner bath with hand shower had a plastic surround that was so cracked and old anything would have been better. Very dated decor with knobs falling off the side tables. Old bits of cardboard in window to stop it rustling?
Very fresh paint with masking tape still around the window so they are decorating.

The hotel was on the seafront in central Brighton which was perfectly located for a short walk along the seafront to the pier and east Brighton, as well as a short walk into Hove also.
The staff were super friendly and made us feel extremely welcome. They always said hello and made us feel like VIPs. "Room 15"!
A fantastic breakfast with cereal, yoghurt, toast, sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, beans, fruit and COFFEE!
We were allowed to store our bags at the hotel after check out before catching our train.
I honestly can't think of anything of any merit to write in this section.

As it is an old building you can hear the guests walking around in the room above.
There was some dust on the light fitting and they do need a bath mat to stop you slipping on the floor.

The reception areas were lovely . Rooms very dated and quite small . Door handles wobbly etc , needs a bit of TLC.
The stairs to get up to the top floor were extremely narrow and lift very dated , not big enough to get a pram in so makes difficult for people in family rooms with push chairs.
