A great fun hotel opposite the beach.
Pros:

Very welcoming staff throughout the whole stay. Our room had a balcony and sea view and was very quiet. Breakfast was self service and very tasty. Would definitely return.

Cons:

Our room wasn’t ready when w3 arrived but we were given a complementary drink voucher for the bar so we relaxed there whilst waiting.

Pros:

10 out of 10 ! Fabulous Brighton seafront hotel , great for work , WiFi spot on , makes business or accommodates for friends parties 🎉 giving the sea view from the disiarable bar! The pan seared cod with lobster 🦞 risotto a must. Reception, bar staff always give you the time of day without being intrusive. Will be staying again plus my son's 18th birthday! All the best to the Mercure Brighton team! Kind Regards
