Drakes Hotel

I had the most magical solo staycation in ‘Room 10’ at Drakes of Brighton. The hotel is right on the seafront and the pink “marvelous room” I booked has three gorgeous sash windows that look out at Brighton Pier-it’s such a panoramic view that at times I felt like I was on a boat! The hotel are currently in the process of renovating all their rooms into this style of interior, so be sure to follow them on Insta for the latest updates. It’s a 2-min walk from Soho House Brighton, where I am a Member. I spent a lot of time in the bath in my room looking out at the sea, before going to sit on the beach with a can of Pimms and my book. Then in the evening, I treated myself to a sunset dinner at Riddle and Finns, which is the most wonderful oyster and champagne bar. Staff are super friendly and it is great that you can have breakfast served in your room. Will be back again soon :-).

A warm welcome on arrival, fast check-in and useful information regarding the hotel, facilities and locale provided by the Drakes staff who were all very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Our elegant, beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed room was immaculately clean, contained all the usual amenities as well as several nice touches. The White Company toiletries (gift bag), complimentary slippers, generous selection of quality tea, coffee and biscuits, Sky TV, easy to access and useful hotel information, Drakes rock (sweets), etc. were all appreciated. It's clear that considerable thought has been put into all aspects of guest comfort at Drakes Hotel. Our bed was incredibly comfortable, the superior bed linen and cloud size pillows an absolute delight to sleep on! Perfectly laundered, soft and fluffy towels in the bathroom, quality toiletries in abundance (so rare in hotels these days) and great water pressure from the rain shower. Breakfast was nicely cooked and presented. Coffee or tea, fresh orange juice, toast or croissant and a full English (other breakfast options are available). The Drakes restaurant staff at breakfast, charming and efficient. All the guests present were smiling and happy, a great way to start the day. If you're planning a trip to Brighton, Drakes Hotel is the place to stay.

The room was lovely, with great views over the seafront. Clean, nice decor, bright and airy. Bed was comfy and the ensuite was really nice. All the staff we spoke to were very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome. from the outset. Location was top notch. Would defo stay again.

The location was excellent but it stops there. the room was beautiful in the photos but...

Great room. Lovely local tea and coffee facilities. Beautiful little balcony.
