I have travelled on business throughout the UK for over 20 years and it’s a sad fact but the standard of customer services seems to be in decline… well I am so pleased to say that is not the case here. Barry, Marta and the young lady on reception on her first day were Amazing! Bar staff too made my return stay as good as my first! Thank you

What a wonderful find right on the seafront and minutes from everything! Lovely staff on reception. Couldn’t do enough for you. Great room, very clean and tidy. It was a twin and the only gripe was the beds were made as a twin but pushed together as a superior bed. Great they would hold bags before the room was ready and after we checked out so we could continue to enjoy Brighton. We didn’t have breakfast but smelled great. Lovely touch of free water in the boutique reception area. Thank you so much. We will be back!

Like many hotels in Brighton, the Mercure is fairly old, and you've got to expect it to have some quirks and oddities. Similarly, I was only staying one night, so I wasn't particularly bothered by the oddities as such. However, there are a few things that stick in my mind. I would have liked a sea view (kind of a selling point for a seafront hotel). Alas not. Alarm bells probably should have rung when I got a free upgrade to a double room. I'm curious about what my lower grade room would have been if this was the upgrade. I was in Room 115, which faces the rear lightwell, and it has no real view to speak of, unless you like escape stairs, and seagull excrement. Not lovely. The bathroom layout is very narrow and linear. If you're a larger person, avoid this room. The shower was a 700 x 700 cubicle. I accidentally turned the shower off when I was turning around, and I'm not a large person. Similarly, I had a to turn sideways to get past the washbasin to reach the toilet - my hips jammed against the wall otherwise. The toilet is on a step up from the main floor, and slightly hard to reach. Overall, the staff were very nice, the food was good (I only had breakfast). The breakfast room is slightly awkwardly laid out, and slightly cramped but it was fine and they've made a decent go at it. Overall, it was fine for a night and my visit was generally good. But this room really needs retiring - it's not great.

We were greeted by the excellent staff of Mercure Brighton. There was a confusion with the names but Barry kept us engaged and entertained throughout the check-in process. Eoin was a great help throughout our stay as well. The breakfast spread was very impressive too. The only reason why I’ve deducted a star from the rating is because the standard rooms don’t have aircons. The room was therefore quite warm at night and the sleep wasn’t as great as I’d have wished for after paying north of £200 for the room. Everything apart from that aspect was perfect or beyond.

Very nice hotel right on the sea front. Visited for work and was in a van so parking was an issue, never got on hotel car park as it was full but parked on near by multi-storey at a rip off £32 a night, all brightons parking is silly money. Staff at the hotel were brilliant, man on reception desk who checked us in was brilliant and couldn’t do enough for us. I would stay again as hotel was lovely and close to the town.

This was the first time that I stayed at the Mercure Brighton. The check-in /out experience was fine. The staff I came into contact with were polite and friendly. Prior to my arrival at the hotel, I'd been sent an email asking if I wanted to upgrade to a bigger room. The upgrade cost was at a reduced rate so I decided to upgrade my stay. The room was clean and tidy and spacious. It had an amazing view of the sea and Brighton landmarks, such as the Bandstand. The bathroom was very clean and modern. The hotel is situated in an ideal location for walking to the town centre or for just a walk along the promenade. I did not find the bed comfortable. It was 2 single beds put together, which created a slight dip in the middle. I appreciate that this is done for when a twin room is needed but I think a double mattress would have been better. I did request to have my room serviced by displaying the 'gone exploring' sign on the outside handle of my room door, my request was displayed quite early in the morning. My room was not serviced during the time I thought it might be but I have since been told that rooms are not serviced until 4pm to allow rooms for new arrivals to be gotten ready. Shortly after I checked out it was discovered that I had been overcharged, this error was immediately rectified, which I appreciated. All in all my first time stay at the Mercure was a slight disappointment. I expected more for the money I paid. I don't think it was value for money.
