Amazing hotel and staff were so nice food lovely great location I enjoyed my stay

Amazing a lot better then the previous hotel I stayed in

We enjoyed our one night stay at The Kings Hotel. Friendly staff and comfortable room. We really enjoyed the breakfast.

Great location, pleasant restaurant, good service at breakfast.

Hotel looks amazing from the outside, a beautiful period building from the early 18th century. Unfortunately inside the period seems to be 1985. Could do with a refurb. Nothing particularly wrong with the place, it just felt a bit cheap. Although the price we paid certainly wasn't. Check in procedure made us feel like we were being seen as potential vandals rather than welcome guests. And weird things like there being a surcharge if you asked for eggs Benedict for breakfast. You could charge 50p more for everyone and say have what you want, it would have been a more friendly feeling. That said our sea view room was great for watching the sunrise and sunset and the room had a nice bath to relax in, so wasn't bad. Just feel this hotel could be much better.

Very nice hotel, quiet and very clean bedroom and bathroom. Amazing breakfast just the right amount. Staff really lovely and helpful. Some areas a little tired but not excessive Will be back

My first stay in the Kings Hotel, staff were friendly, my room was clean, possibly of having a few more plug sockets, USB plug sockets would help, most hotels I stay in have them these days, room was well laid out and clean, tea/coffee table was also fully stocked, shower worked well, breakfast I booked before, I found it very convenient and easy to get a booked table, easy walk around the town, the breakfast staff were also so friendly and welcoming. Would stay again. My room was on the first floor, 107 so I did not have a sea view, I only required the room for the evening.

Hotel was ok but rooms were nothing like you see on their website paid extra for sea view but was in the top floor room sort of attic so was barely a sea view. Checking in was awful one member of staff so was waiting 30 minutes and staff at breakfast were not overly helpful we had to keep asking for certain items. Overall was ok but wouldn’t return

I had a very nice time at your hotel with friendly, helpful service.

Overall good, great location. Service could have been better / more polite.

Room was old fashioned and extremely HOT. Holes in the curtains. Flies all around the room and in the windows. Mattress was the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept on.

Upon arrival there was 2 ladies front of house. Blonde hair and dark hair ladies..i arrive early only to query car parking the blonde hair lady asked her colleague if there was any spaces. Abruptly she replied no..i looked at the lady we were both shock at her abruptness. The blonde haired lady felt sorry and tried her best giving me advice where to park.. If it wasnt for the kindness and empathy the blonde hair lady gave me i would have canceled my reservation. As for me 1st impressions make impact .

Thank you for a lovely stay.Friendly staff.Big shout out to Scottish John on the breakfast crew. Thanks Eric & Jean.

Staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. That alone was enough to recommend them highly. Hotel and room were very clean. Breakfast was good. No dinner service but there are plenty of options nearby. I felt looked after and would stay there again.

Car parking, if they have no room for you you have to go to car park which is expensive..

Hotel - Updated paint and fresh design. But with it being old, the hallway door does not fit properly and the hallway light shines thru the cracks of the door. Had to take a bed spread and place it in the floor to block it at night and trying to sleep. Parking - They only have 11 spots for a 90+ room hotel! Bottom line you won’t get one. I wish they would just say Parking Parking, because that’s what I had to do and it’s not cheap either.

Good location for seafront attractions. Room spacious and clean - though not serviced for two day stay as is policy. Staff in restaurant attentive to gluten free needs. Would go again.

Lovely sea view room looking out to the pier

Lovely old hotel - staff were so friendly. Had a sea view room and it was lovely, quiet & comfy. Yes it’s a little tired here and there, but it’s clean. The lift is slow but not a bit issue you are on your hold after all!! Breakfast was fine, would have preferred if it had been hotter tbh and the toaster was the slowest I’ve ever known. But all in all good value and fine for us. Location great to park up and walk into the city.

Breakfast was low quality sausage and almost cold when brought to table. Staff were very friendly though and situation of hotel was perfect

Perfect for 1 night

You can hear very clearly at night when upper room have people walking around the room or chatting.

Clean, friendly, great location, friendly staff. Property needs a little update and lick of paint, but great stay all in all, would return

+ helpful staff, great breakfast, spacious room - sub par bed, noise from corridor, neighbours and plumbing, and some (relatively minor) maintenance issues

Girl at reception was useless with a poor attitude. The room was so dated, bad choice of hotel to stay.

Bar and breakfast room are good but bedrooms a little tired but clean!!!

Hotel was a little bit tired and drains smelt in room bathroom ,

Lovely sea view, handy to work along promenade

It was ok. Family room has a photo of a higher floor room with windows onto a side street, however we were in a basement with a view of a wall. Which was a disappointment. Room was spacious for 4 people and it was good to have proper beds for the kids, rather than a sofa bed as many family rooms do. A/c was very effective, contrary to other reviews, so it must depend on which room you get. Bathroom had a large shower rather than a bath. Breakfast was ok. A bit chaotic, had to wait a while for a table even though they'd got us to book a time the night before. Basic cereal (bran flakes or corn flakes), toast. Watery orange juice. Choice of cooked English breakfast or pancakes/fruit. The message we got from Expedia when we booked had out of date charges on it, eg ot said parking was £23 a night, but when we paid it was suddenly £25. Similarly it said breakfast was £10.50 but in fact it's £12.50. That doesn't give a good impression at all. Probably won't stay again, there are better options in Brighton for us (we booked last minute this time, so we ended up here). But it's fine. Certainly a convenient location.

Perfect location and very close to the seaside,town centre and the train station.

The staff were friendly and helpful but the hotel is tired and very basic

Staff were lovely and helpful, room was clean and comfortable. Being on the sea front was lovely. However, the toilet in the en-suite was in a strangely restricted space. Breakfast was mediocre to poor.
