I have been staying at The Iron Duke for nearly a year for a few days per week. I have found the rooms clean and tidy and the facilities excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful and nothing is to much trouble. The new Thai Kitchen is great food and is served with a friendly smile !!

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a cheap but clean and tidy hotel not too far from the Brighton pier. We had a great stay at the hotel!! Our room was on the top floor so we got to see the sea view from our window even though we hadn't ask for a sea... More

This was an okay B&B. The room was a bit overpriced but overall okay. Unable to open the window or control the heating in the room meant that one went from boiling hot (especially on a morning) to cold. The door didn't seem to close properly. While locked it rattled and made you feel nervous. The staff made us welcome.

Stayed at The Iron Duke on Saturday in a very cold and snowy Brighton, my room however could not have been toastier or more comfy! Really friendly bar, lush thai food and close enough to everywhere to just walk, no need for cabs! Stayed in an enormous room with ensuite, freshly decorated and a sea view to boot! The Iron... More

So for New Year's Eve my partner and I decided we would go to Brighton and booked the Iron Duke through Last Minute.com. The most recent reviews on Trip Advisor were extremely positive and the photos on The Iron Duke's website looked appealing. However, this was not the case. Upon arrival (11am) we expected to go into the hotel and... More

I chose the Iron Duke for the venue for my 50th Birthday Party on Saturday and was very glad I did! Right from the day I booked it, the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful with assisting me in the organising of it. Particular mention goes to Peter and Melanie for their help but all the staff without... More

The service was very good and the atmosphere was good, Due to weather it was fairly quiet but I can imagaine the buzz when busy. I... More

We stayed at the Iron Duke for an overnight about a week ago, and found this pub with rooms above to be an excellent option for a short stay in the Brighton area. Located a stone's throw from the beach in Hove, this tiny, friendly pub provides excellent service from friendly staff. An on-site Thai kitchen provides a decent, well-priced... More
