Comfortable but noisy at night

The room was well appointed and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was quite large and had a very nice shower.

The noise on a Friday and Saturday night from the lounge restaurant downstairs went until midnight. Made it hard to relax and sleep.

Highly Recommended

We had a lovely short break in Brighton staying at the Southern Belle. A really nice pub with great rooms - very clean and stylish. Friendly and helpful staff and an excellent breakfast. We'll definitely stay there again.

Nothing! A great find!

Prima! Voldoet zeker aan de verwachtingen, maar had voor ons niks extra's.

De kamer was erg mooi en schoon! Mooi ingericht met grote, fijne bedden. Mooie badkamer met lekkere douchespullen. Het ontbijt was lekker.

Er is geen parkeerplek bij het hotel. Je moet naar een parkeergarage 10 min lopen vanaf het hotel. Ik vond de parkeerkosten best prijzig. Ook is het best gehorig. Twee avonden van ons verblijf was er live muziek maar dat is heel goed te horen op de kamer. Het ontbijt was prima. Persoonlijk had ik het fijn gevonden als er een selectie van continental breakfast gewoon beschikbaar was i.pv. dat je dat moest bestellen.

Great little find. Will definitely come back next year. We love Brighton and the Southern Belle.

Room was nicely designed. Had the best sleep. Bathroom was big and shower was lovely. Breakfast was really nice, with a good vegan and veggie options. Location was perfect for us. A bit of a walk into the centre but when you factor in the walk along the sea front you can’t really complain. The bar and snacks were also really good. A great selection of beers on tap.

Not really any negatives. There is no parking, but it is Brighton after all. However, hotel recommended a really good parking option.

I think I’ve given enough info.

Good choices for breakfast. Loved the quirky room and spacious bathroom. Fab toiletries.

Breakfast Service was better on the Friday than on the Saturday. Ate in the bar on the first night. It was a very limited menu and what we wanted as our first choice (think it was ribs) wasn’t available. Very disappointing.

fantastic city centre/seafront location for a weekend of exploring on foot.

the room was a great size and the bathroom was beautifully decorated. We were going to head out for dinner but then realised we could eat at The Southern Belle and play Scrabble over dinner. Just perfect!!

Lovely find, shame we couldn’t have had some food other than breakfast. The Sunday roast smelled 👍🏼

Great choices for breakfast, and very tasty! No complaints with the room, No 10. Shower was a bit weak, other than that all good. Couldn’t connect to the free Wi-Fi but wasn’t a problem as in Hove visiting family.

Nothing major. Room was comfortable and quiet.

Lovely stay

We had a wedding to attend on New Years Eve and had a lovely stay at The Southern Belle. Lou was very welcoming and very helpful. Great décor and wish we could have stayed longer. Good selection for breakfast too. The location was brilliant, a stones throw away from the sea.

We found the pillows to be a bit too firm but that's just a personal preference.

A stay of two halves

Great initial feel with warm welcome. Room was lovely but really cold in the bathroom.

The bar staff - returned back to hotel to be greeted with a surly - we close in 5 minutes. I explained that I was a resident but was instructed that there was nowhere to enjoy a drink other than in my room. Ordered drinks only to be told that they were closed and I HAD to vacate the bar. SB need to distinguish between hotel guests and pub customers. I was very unhappy that I could only go back to the cold room in order to finish the drink. I have stayed in ‘inns’ before and have never had such rudeness. The one with glasses couldn’t even understand why I wasn’t happy at being sent to my room and said I was unreasonable. And was also encourage to have strong alchohol to relax; all I wanted was a little nightcap not a full on round of surliness and appalling customer service.

A fabulous treat

We really enjoyed our stay at The Southern Belle. The room was lovely with a huge comfortable bed and we loved the luxurious shower and comfortable seating. The location is ideal - so close to the seafront, and the bar downstairs is great, with fabulous cocktails. The staff were all friendly and helpful and we would definitely stay again.

Great hotel, lovely room & a dream location

Amazing location & reasonably priced

Had 2 x dogs which i made clear when searching on booking.com. Booking.com however don't make it clear that the hotel would charge extra for this, even though the listing states they welcome dogs
