"Clean room pleasant staff. Service a little slow but hotel was very busy "

"The lift was out of order on my second morning when I was leaving. I had four bags with me which in total were too heavy to take down four flights of stairs in one trip. (I'm 76 and was on my own). Surely, lift maintenance should take place after all guests leaving that day had left. Fortunately, after a short wait, a member of staff helped me with my luggage to the car park. Room 407. The en suite bathroom was up four steep steps from the bedroom. The bathroom door had a self-closing device so in the wee small hours I had to fight with the door as I stumbled into the bathroom. Fortunately, I am not incontinent but I can visualise that "accidents" could happen when a guest is caught short. The disabled person's handle on the side of the stairs which should have helped was too short. Not sure if the steepness of the steps leading up to the bathroom is legal. I parked my car in the hotel garage. I do not remember seeing a tariff for the car park on the hotel's website. It may have been there but it was definitely not obvious. The cost for two days' stay was unexpected. Because of the extra cost, I did not take meals in the hotel. Their loss. On the good side, a pleasant maintenance employee helped to direct my car to the hotel garage. The young lady manager who helped me to get my luggage to the garage was also very nice. The temperature of the room was perfect and the bed was comfortable."

"Lighting in bar needs dimming, bright lights lack atmosphere"

"Breakfast fresh and hot. Staff attentive and friendly."

"Early check-in charges were a little higher than expected. Everything else was good."

"Absolutely beautiful hotel, we stayed in a room with a sea view and it was probably the nicest hotel room we've ever stayed in. Great location too, near to bars, restaurants, shops etc."

"Very lovely romantic room with a slipper tub which we were not expecting! The staff are so helpful, my husband bumped his head and cut it and they gave us sticking plasters and antiseptic wipes! Husband said breakfast was wonderful. The best bit was the bed though - literally the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and the pillows were like clouds - so good I even asked the hotel to let me know where they buy them and they made the effort to do that and emailed me all the details. Great customer service! Only downside is parking is not on site and the closest car park was 100 quid for 2 nights - but, that is Brighton, unfortunately. Would recommend if you don't mind spending a bit extra on a hotel. All the Hotel Du Vins are reliably luxurious. "
