Kings Hotel

Have stayed at Kings Hotel several times including for about 15 nights last November and December. Always happy, good hotel, good staff, great location, decent price. But this time for a 5 night stay check-in staff were unfriendly, almost rude. Everyone else great as always. I'm staying in Brighton for most of January and February and would have automatically booked the Kings. As a result of bad check-in I've booked my next two stays at different hotels.

A good hotel in a good location but, it did say the parking was £18 per 24 hours but only in the "small print" which I admit I missed but it felt sneaky nonetheless. On top of that there was no space at the hotel so I had to drive over to Regency Square. Not the end of the world if the weather is alright but... can you guess? Breakfast was very good but you couldn't have any fruit before a cooked breakfast without paying extra, very unusual in my experience. The room was average and very hot at night with opening the windows not really an option in a noisy, reasonably central area. There are many hotels to choose from in Brighton and these issues, while not desperate, were a touch off-putting. It was nice enough downstairs, not too expensive and certainly clean with very helpful and friendly staff but unfortunately I probably wouldn't rebook as I'm sure there is better value to be had with breakfast and the parking was too awkward. That said, in fairness, if you're not driving and don't eat much in the morning or would prefer a lie in, it's a decent base from which to explore Brighton

Very good for the price. Clean, safe and good value

It was great - beds comfy, breakfast great and really good location
