Malmaison Brighton

Clean, fresh room. Nice welcome from reception. Only problem was the signage. Within the hotel and from the car park the signs were confusing and difficult to see

Great location and good views overlooking the Marina. Breakfast was lovely, although the staff were bit confused over some options. Good eating options nearby, really useful as the Asian Fusion menu for dinner was a bit limited.

Th first room we went into smelled slightly damp, the reception stafff were excellent and moved us to another room which was actually an upgrade

We were stranded because of the airport shutdown and I booked the hotel without my normal thorough review… and I got very lucky. Below is my list of pros and cons… Cons first: -Late checkout is £15 per hour up to two hours. Like I get it but also… yuck. -Entrance is a bit disguised -Location is far away from Brighton Beach shopping and sights (but if you aren’t afraid of public transport, a 30 minute bus ride will get you there easily) Andddd that’s it. Pros: -Front desk personnel: Louis, Conner, and the sweet overnight desk person whose name I forgot to grab (bald, super sweet)… all incredibly helpful, kind, and funny when we were so stressed. -Air Con is great! -Balcony offered a beautiful view of the marina -Bed is comfortable as are the pillows -A new one for me, but because we chose not to have our room cleaned and had a two night stay, we got a free drink coupon. It’s nice to get something back for saving the planet (see also, saving the hotel money and time) -Anything we needed was promptly brought to the room. -The showerrrrr… it’s the first one I have seen that is intelligently designed with knobs near the entrance instead of getting sprayed with cold water while turning it on In all, we will DEFINITELY be coming back and booking here again. It was lovely, and the personnel are second to none.
