Expensive, but exceptional - we will return
Pros:

Room, location was great & quality breakfast with loads of choice. Of note, was that staff constantly replenished the buffet areas - so you had a full choice regardless of what time you went down for breakfast

Cons:

The gym area was very open and you had to walk through it to get to the pool

Hotel ok ,dar zgomot seara până târziu
Pros:

Hotelul este amplasat chiar langa plaja . Am apreciat curățenia,spa ul cu piscina interioara mica dar ok pt noi. Micul dejun suficient de variat, dar se bazează mai mult pe mic dejun englezesc

Cons:

Am avut o camera la parter și s a auzituzica in camera de parcă eram și noi la nunta. Am solicitat o camera liniștită încă de la efectuarea rezervării dar nu au ținut cont de solicitare chiar daca am precizat că sunt cu un copil mic

Waterfront views and genuinely caring staff
Pros:

Stayed at the Leonardo Royal Brighton Waterfront recently and it is a hotel that earns its reputation. The location is everything you want from Brighton, right on the waterfront with views that make you remember why you chose the seaside in the first place.

What stayed with me most was the staff. Genuinely warm and caring in a way that felt entirely natural rather than trained. Every interaction, from check-in to checkout, had that quality of people who actually want you to have a good stay rather than simply going through the motions. It is rarer than it should be and it made a real difference to the experience.

The hotel itself is well-appointed and comfortable, but it is the staff that elevate it. Brighton has no shortage of places to stay. This is one worth choosing.
