Best Western Princes Marine Hotel

Stayed in Room 50 (The Sea) for one night. Cost £115. Room looked bigger on the website, but was quite small. Booked it for the balcony as i am a smoker, but you couldnt smoke there so i had to go downstairs from 5th floor to have one. Comfy bed, good large tv, and the usual tea and coffee facillities. Bathroom was clean, but no air fan to disperse Toilet using smells. For an executive room I would have expected it. I did spot something black rushing around on the floor though, not a spider. More like a little black line. The Cooked breakfast for £14 was a joke. The bacon looked like it had only seen a frying pan, poached egg tasted like rancid water, one sausage, (i didnt have the tomato or mushrooms), and cheapest Beans i have ever seen or eaten. I am just glad that it was included in our price and that we didnt have to pay the extra for it. Car park was tight to get into, So be aware if you have a large car I would stay again, but would book a cheaper room and definately not have the Breakfast.

Hotel was located right next to the bus stop. It was very convenient and fast to get to the city center. Room we got was very big and spacious. We had bathtub in the room so we could make a hot bath after whole day spent on sightseeing. View from the room was stunning. Beautyful view on the sea was amazing. There was no airconditioning but we were provided with a fan. I really liked this hotel, definitely will be back.

Parking was on a first come first served basis in the small car park. This was not made clear at the point of booking on the web site! The staff were extremely helpful and polite and I cannot fault their service. All of the areas of the hotel I went through or stayed in were very clean.

I have stayed at Princes Marine many times - enough to know that Room 7 on the first floor is terrible. It was noisy particularly from the ice machine and the internet connection was intermittent and poor quality. I was particularly disappointed as I had specifically requested an upper floor When I made my reservation as I know that it is quieter and I have never had a problem with the internet on the other floors. I had a zoom call to make in the morning which wasn’t going to be possible and the noise meant I couldn’t sleep. I therefore took the decision to check out. The receptionist and night reception/security were extremely friendly and helpful but the issues were too great. I did get a refund of £1.90 in coins for the breakfast that I didn’t have!

Having trolled trip advisor for reviews, I'm glad I picked this hotel. There is parking, the hotel clean and my room very spacious( I booked the double deluxe and got the 5th floor). My room had a balcony all the way round, so I had part view of the beach front and the residential/local scenery 😁. The bathroom modern and very clean as is, the hotel throughout. It has a bar and restaurant with good service. I felt I was well received and valued as a customer, right from check in to check out and beyond ( I left my car and wandered into town after checking out). The receptionist, Ileana is a gem, great smile and lovely personality, even when showing my friend to an alternative room. Something happened that restored my faith in humanity, I discovered a flat tyre the following day. The manager, Jonathan came to my rescue, along with the team of young guys (from the golf tournament 😉). He recognised the tyre was unsalvageable, called the local tyre shop on my behalf and gave me directions. What great service!! I couldn't have asked for more. Just across the road from the hotel, is the beach front/ beach promenade leading all the way to Brighton pier- if you fancy a walk.
