Lovely location of the hotel but a bit run down in some places which would be better off with some refurbishing to make it better. Fantastic views from the seafacing rooms and very friendly and helpful staff at the reception and housekeeping. Good and clean bathrooms and large room size. Small sized TV for such large rooms. Restaurant served great food at very reasonable prices. Room prices varied according to the season and weekends. Got a great deal most of the time.

Horrendous experience. Shifted rooms twice as the conditions of the 2 previous rooms were deplorable, the first was in the basement which I wouldn't recommend to anyone. My partner and I were lumped downstairs with the rest of the younger generation, as my assumption was that the younger guests were plotted together. While I understand it was a Friday night and folks like to drink. People were bounding up the stairs, drunk at all hours, to which our room was situation opposite the stairs. Furthermore, the rooms downstairs do have windows but only open into a defunct corridor preventing any breeze or fresh air, thus the room was very dusty and completely unhygienic as ours couldn't be opened. The second room which was located on the first floor wasn't much better. The air conditioning units for the hotel were located just outside of the single glazed window and made sleep next impossible. There was also a problem with damp with the door from the room to the bathroom. However, we asked for extra pillows and another duvet ( for those who don't like firm, springy beds) and the staff we lovely and fairly helpful. We were admittedly late with checkout due to lack of sleep and changing rooms for the final time after midnight (which took over an hour and a half after an apparent 30 minute wait or so we were told). The late checkout fee was wavered and the gentleman was very understanding the next day so I can't fault the staff but the hotel direly needs some TLC and a little re-modernisation in places. The price for the stay wasn't satisfactory but the location was amazing, literally just of the peer and next to the city centre.

I just returned from a short stay in The Royal Albion Hotel in Brighton. I did read the reviews before I went so was prepared for the worst. Whilst the place is in need of a complete refurb my main complaint was with the cleanliness. It's shabby to say the least & may be considered a budget holiday, but that's no excuse for it not to be clean. Overall the staff do their best, but not so sure that goes for the house keeping. Pity, as it's a good central location, but cannot recommend

Dirty room, toilets were moving. Bath in front of nowhere. Outside the room, globally everything is actually extremely dirty (even seen a table with, on the glass, written "clean me") The breakfast is more than poor. Just some stuff, industrial pastries and quality is not great. For drink, you'll have to please yourself with coffee or juices. You don't like coffee ? Not their problem. Early checkout and £15 per hour for late checkout, like what ?? Brighton is amazing. This hotel is not.

The royal albion was very dated and had I would say a ghostly atmosphere. Its meant to be haunted by Harry Preston. The food though was satisfactory. The drilling kept me awake all night though got no sleep. The hotel very old fashioned and dirty.
