Pros:

The lady that checked me in was so friendly I’d had a bad day and someone stole my wallet & she gave me free champagne. The bed was very comfortable. It’s a bit of a maze getting around. But two staff members who be also very nice helped me. My restaurant experience was not great but everything else was.

August Bank Holiday in Brighton
Pros:

Amazing weekend away at Hotel du Vin. The hotel had a warm and rustic feel to it, with a stunning outside seating area and clean feel throughout. Staff were incredibly polite and helpful, with the option to trade house keeping for a free drink instead a really nice touch. Will definitely be going back

Great hotel, small room for the price
Pros:

The hotel itself is lovely, I enjoyed hanging around at the bar and the staff were all really friendly. My room was tidy and well presented, but it was a bit on the small side. There was no wired internet port in the room, which was a bit of a bummer considering I had to work in the room a few times.

I will say I was worried about being adjacent to the courtyard but it turned out to not be a problem given how strict the hotel is with how late people can stay outside.

The aircon couldn't be put higher than 16, which was an odd choice.

I think the Du Vin is a great place to stay, but it can be a bit pricy for what it is.

Great staff but in need of updating for the price.
Pros:

We’ve stayed many times at Hotel Du Vin Brighton and always enjoyed it. The staff continue to be excellent, going out of their way to be helpful, often unprompted.
However, considering how expensive the hotel has become, it could be said to be sitting on its laurels. Our room didn’t appear to have been refurbished for a long time. The room carpet was stained (probably not a good idea to have a plain pale brown carpet in a hotel room). The bathrobes had shrunk so much mine wouldn’t fit around me. You would expect better of a hotel charging around £100 a night, let alone one charging £300 for a Deluxe but still fairly small room!
Breakfast in the restaurant was excellent, then again at £24 ahead you would expect it to be. Dinner was only so so. And perhaps the lack of diners on the Thursday evening was indicative of the amount of good choice that people have in Brighton.
Finally, Parking has become a nightmare in Brighton. Local car parks are £40 for 24 hours. If you can, park outside Brighton and get the bus in, or use Just Park. I managed to find a spot 15 minutes walk away for £72 for the three days we were there.
