Hilton Brighton Metropole

Staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is very good. The hotel car park is also reasonably priced and it's a great location in Brighton opposite the i360 on the Seafront and not too far from the Lanes or the Pier.

Initially was given a 5th floor room overlooking the rear of the hotel - the conference area. Even with double glazed windows the noise from the conference air conditioners was loud, all night. The staff were great and moved me to a 6th floor room looking out to the front/side of the hotel, Westwards with a little beach view. Much quieter. The 5th Floor room was very hot and the air conditioning in the room didn't work. The 6th floor room was fine.

Location is fab, right on the seafront. Breakfast is great, loads of selection and Nim who made our coffee was lovely and very tentative. The bar is relaxing and we ate the best burger ever there, and again the staff are all very pleasant.

This hotel is let down by its bedrooms, we have stayed a couple of times now always hoping we were just unfortunate with the room we got but this time was just the same. We paid for a room with an extra large bed, so £270 for two nights We didn't pay for sea view as we've done this on a previous occasion and the windows were so dirty it wasn't worth it, also its November and dark in the evening so wasn't so fussed. Our room though had no luxury, the wardrobe was literally position at the entrance of the room making it difficult to get in with luggage, and to be honest the wardrobe itself had seen far better days! The shower head in the bathroom is smaller than what we have at home, and the lighting in the bedroom itself is dire, with just bedside lights and a lamp on the desk its impossible to put your makeup on!!

Proximity to main attractions, beach, pier etc.

Rooms are poorly maintained, dated, holes in curtains, broken taps, no bar fridge. The rooms are very tired looking and in need of a serious makeover. Sea view rooms didn't help as the windows were so dirty one could r see through them!

Hotel is very grubby and old. Holes in curtains, grubby rooms, broken taps, no hot water led to a very mediocre stay.

Tired and Dated

Great location and the public areas are nice.

My room was like stepping back into the 70s. It was tired and dated with mismatching outdated furnishings. The bathroom sink kept blocking, the aircon didn't work and the mattress was lumpy. This room was not worth the money I paid (£100). Tip: ask for a refurbished room.

Breakfast, swimming pool, steam room and jacuzzi

Could only access bed from one side, as pushed against wall , and only one pillow each - second morning not able to have our breakfast in the Windsor restaurant, the other restaurant no windows and no sea views -

staff and location

Room decoration is poor and in need of much updating all over, especially in the bathrooms.General cleanliness is lacking

The accommodation was clean, the reception area was impressive and the breakfast was good value.

The room was very small and the bathroom was extremely tiny. The bathroom had a broken shelve in it (which hadn't been repaired!) and the shower (which looked powerful) was actually a trickle.

Parking was easy and very good value for Brighton. Breakfast was excellent. Room was very comfortable.

Although a twin room was booked this was not available, fortunately this was not imperative but may have been!!. The bar staff's command of english could have been better.
