Top South Downs Way Hotel Reviews

The Charm Brighton Boutique Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at The Charm. Comfortable room, clean, friendly staff and a great breakfast. It was on the top floor though - with no lift, so a lot of stairs! Fortunately we only had a small suitcase, but would have been hard with more luggage."

Numa Brighton Pavilion

10/10 Excellent

"Claudiu is the best! Always super helpful and looks after returning guests"

Sea Spray

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location. Friendly. Good breakfast. Clean room."

Hotel du Vin Brighton

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, good staff and nice food/wine. Only negative was the cost of nearby parking at £44 per night - apparently normal for this part of Brighton."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Although the hotel is a bit on the warm side, I had an excellent weekend stay. The staff were friendly and very helpful, I even got a room upgrade. Leo's restaurant and bar was very good. Prices at the bar were competitive and the food was excellent. The location couldn't be better, opposite the sea and out the back to The Lanes."

10/10 Excellent

"Always clean and helpful 😊"
