Stayed here for three nights and it wasnt the best considering its a 4* hotel. They put us in a room where the air con wasnt working but the heaters were on a full blast! Although we stayed in December, I didnt ask to stay in an incubator. The temperature was an uncomfortable 28 degrees, so the night manager assisted... More

Although the bar and lobby area are a bit on the soulless side the rooms and location is excellent. Breakfast was poor though - and at €250 a night for the room a bit cheeky. Rooms were good with lots of space. More

We paid £160 per night exclusive of breakfast, off season. There are so many things wrong with this hotel. But although we rate it badly we would return. For four reasons. So, the good stuff first. The location is sensational. Our room with sea view was marvellous. Parking is a nightmare in Brighton, and the hotel has its own. There... More

The staff were excellent, we had problems with the heating and water over the weekend, the staff were polite, helpful, we were compensated for the problems we had experienced... More

We ate lunch at the hotel, and the... More

I travel quite a lot and there are two principal things I want from my hotel room - a decent night's sleep and a good shower in the morning. The Thistle got the first one right - amazing, Emperor-sized bed which was very comfortable. Shower was pathetically low-pressure and thus very unsatisfying. Whole bathroom was very tired in fact.
