Review summary

Based on recent reviews

West Beach Hotel Brighton enjoys a superb seafront location, steps away from the beach and within easy reach of the vibrant Kemp Town. Many guests have appreciated the spacious rooms, some even boasting sea views. While some found the breakfast a bit chaotic, the hotel offers good value, and the provision of USB charging points in the rooms is a welcomed convenience.

check in was quick but i was not fully told the rules. breakfast was a problem. i was told i could not return for more. i only got toast for my husband and wanted yogurt for myself. it was cramped and hard to get more than one thing. the hotel seemed shabby. the chairs were torn and dirty. the room was big and clean but scaffolding was outside. there was a cabinet from the 1970s and a rug i tripped on. i felt the staff lacked professionalism.

A Romantic Seaside Escape

exquisite sea viewcomfortable bedfriendly stafftelevision absence

The location offered an exquisite sea view. The sight of the waves was special. I found the bed comfortable, perfect for restful nights. The staff were very friendly. They stored my bags, which allowed me to explore freely before my check-in time. This kindness enhanced my experience..

The absence of a television in the room was a notable drawback. This affected my ability to unwind completely in the evenings.

Rooms

The decor was tasteful. It featured clean lines with a subtle seaside theme that created a relaxing atmosphere. Space was ample for storing bags and hanging clothes.

Dining

8/10

The hotel served drinking water, tea, and coffee in the lobby area. This promotes a less wasteful approach, commendable. The availability of toiletry items for sale further adds convenience who may have forgotten essentials.

charming seafront stay

seafront locationfabulous viewhelpful stafffriendly service

The location allowed easy walks along the seafront, a real treat. my room included a bath. I enjoyed a soak with a fabulous view. staff, especially one with a gorillaz t-shirt, proved friendly and helpful. something i valued deeply.

The soft bed didn't give my back quite enough support. This was a small issue.
