A truly charming family feel hotel
Pros:

The Brighton Double Tree is truly a gem on the coast of East Sussex, We took the train from London to celebreate my birthday and as soon as we arrived in the city we felt the magic of Brighton. A 15 mins walk to the hotel was scenic and short.
The hotel is itself has a wonderful, friendly and professional team along with a charming atmosphere.
The rooms are great, the breakfast is out of this world, every item on the buffet was so scrumpotious and tasty. The fitness and jacuzzi was a lovely touch.
I will defienetly come back rain or shine!
And the warmest thank you to Reekha, Fergus & the team in the bar for making my birthday weekend so special.

Relaxing stay at Metropole
Pros:

3rd visit to this lovely centrally located hotel. Thank you to Antonio who arranged a lovely room for us. We were lucky to get a sea-view balcony room which was wonderful. A lovely place to stand and watch the world go by. The rooms were pleasant and airy with the most fantastic bed. I got some great sleep. The toiletries were quality and overall very clean and comfortable. We came for my husbands birthday and the hotel surprised us with a lovely cake. The weather wasn’t too bad last week so we had a really lovely weekend in Brighton. Thank you to Silvia who helped us with our query regarding the parking. There is a nice restaurant and bar area in the hotel to relax and unwind. The hotel is well maintained with everything you need. Try to come down early for breakfast as there is so much to eat and the environment so fresh and airy. Lovely place to have breakfast. The hotel is centrally located and a quick 5 mins walk to the lanes. Overall a lovely hotel with very pleasant helpful staff. Looking forward to returning in the near future.
