Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront By Ihg from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront enjoys a perfect location right on the main road along the beach and a few steps from the city centre and attractions like the i360. Guests frequently appreciate the large and spacious rooms, some of which are premium and suitable for families, and often mention the bonus of complimentary soft drinks in the fridge, along with coffee machines in some rooms, and Starbucks in the hall. Some have noted that, with ongoing works, occasionally one of the lifts might be out of service. The good breakfast with a great choice is another regularly highlighted feature.
