I stayed in this hotel for one night, we had one of the rooms with the freestanding bath at the bottom of the bed. The hotel was nice enough.... the rooms were a bit small for the price charged. however the little luxury's make up for the size e.g. wash kit from the white company. besides the size of the... More

The sea view room with roll-top bath was amazing. Huge amount of attention to detail. Bed was huge and really comfortable. Excellent location for the beach, shops and sights. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The meal and breakfast in the restaurant were delicious - a great choice of food and all perfectly cooked. We will definitely return and... More

I've stayed a few times. The sea view rooms are great for a bath with a view, but a little noisy. The smaller rooms are very small. The restaurant completes the package with excellent food and service. Still my Brighton favourite.

The room: fab! Bed was really comfortable; great use of space with the drop leaf side table; fantastic views of the sea from our window; only thing was, couldn't see the view from the bath which was in the middle of the room...but ok, maybe I was expecting too much! Bathroom: fab! Good water pressure in the shower and lots... More

It's hard to review, because location wise it is perfect, on the beach & walking distance to everything you need. The staff were friendly & welcoming, the hotel very clean & impressive. Our first impression of our room was 'wow' - but this quickly evaporated when we attempted to go to sleep. Our room (002) is next to a cupboard,... More

I stayed at Drakes last year, and even in the winter it was a great experience. We had the attic sea facing room, which is at the top of four flights, but tucked away from the rest of the hotel and perfect for a romantic stay. The lovely bath in the room looking out to the sea and stars through... More

I was looking for somewhere in Brighton to stay for my girlfriends birthday. After lots of searching, I eventually decided on drakes, and I'm glad I did! The staff were friendly and helpful from booking to departure. I'd booked the top seafront facing room with freestanding bath, this was lovely and was everything I'd hoped for, a particular highlight was... More

I booked Drakes through the Mr & Mrs Smith website, and because I was using a gift voucher as part payment, I had to pay the balance upfront. Not a problem, the reviews were good, so I was happy to pay. On arrival we had complimentary cocktails which were delicious. The nicest mojitos I have had in a very long... More

We stayed here at the weekend and somehow managed to pick the best weather so far this year! The hotel is on the seafront at Brighton but is quite easy to drive past! From outside it looks quite small but what they have done with the space available is amazing! Our room (sadly not a sea view room) had a... More
