Queens Hotel

This is a good hotel. Spacious rooms, friendly staff and an excellent breakfast!
It is central, very central and ideally placed within walking distance of all the Brighton sites. We were pleased with the hotel (marathon weekend!) but it can be noisy. There can be loud music drifting across the street from the clubs on the beach. So if you want peace and quiet then try somewhere else — but if you want to be centrally located, surrounded by vibrant Brighton then I would highly recommend this hotel.

It’s 4.20am and I’m currently trying to sleep in the bath of our hotel room to get away from the noise in the bedroom. There’s a club outside somewhere with music on so loud that it’s made it impossible to sleep. We’ve called reception and they said they will ‘ask the club to turn the music down’. We paid extra for a sea view room so if you do book here (which I highly recommend you don’t) then don’t book the front of the hotel. Really disappointed as we were looking forward to an evening out of busy London and have both now been awake all night.
Avoid this hotel.

we got a bargain on
for the tower suite. amazing view looking right at the pier etc. quite business-​like but still romantic. jacuzzi bath was great, bathroom was v large. really comfy bed and lots of room in the whole suite as well as a sofa/​table/​tv etc. friendly helpful staff. will return when we can afford it!

Das Queens Hotel liegt sehr zentral schräg gegenüber dem Vergnügungspier und in Laufnähe zu den diversen Lokalen und ist ein typisch englisches Hotel in dem man sein Gepäck treppauf treppab durch die Flure schleppt, das Zimmer war sehr schön und geräumig und lag in einer «ruhigen» Seitenstraße, leider (dies war so nciht zu erkennen) ein Clubeingang gegenüber und da ist die ganze Nacht remmidemmi, an Schlaf ist hier nicht zu denken.
Das Frühstück ist sehr einfach, Kaffee gar nix, auf unserer Tour duch Cornwall sind wir so verwöhnt worden.

At one point, I uttered to my boyfriend ‘well this is just like hell’.
To be fair, it wasn’t all the hotel’s fault. I had a bad migraine, I wanted to sleep. But the non-​stop noise from the club outside made it feel like I was sleeping on the street. Constant chatter from the street, car noises, clubbing sounds, this is what hell must be like.
And to make matters just that bit worse, our room reeked of cigarette smoke when we entered.* So much for a non-​smoking floor. To make matters really worse, the bed was rock hard. The pillows were rock hard. It’s like they hated my head and wanted it to suffer.
It also kind of annoyed me that checkout time was 11am. Is it not universally 12?
On a good note, the breakfast included in the room was of a good standard. Nice bacon, sausage and egg.
I just wouldn’t stay here again, I have to have fluffy pillows and quiet time. Because I am a grumpy old lady, okay?!
* And we could hardly open the window, could we?

Brilliant hotel, I have been staying here since the late 90’s and since then it’s had much refurbishments and changes, loosing it’s atrium which is now partly the pitcher & piano, and a smaller bar on the side, I can’t fault it here, I’ve known the place for years, and I love it.

I used the Queens Hotel for their gym, it’s a nice little workout area with a small pool. The biggest benefit is you can pay by month or by trip, so you don’t get landed with a huge monthly gym bill and a contract they make as hard as possible to get out of. They also have a Sauna and steam room, which when people don’t bung up with menthols, is fairly pleasant. They also have a nice café/​bar which is good to chill in after a workout, though I am often straight round to Scoop and Crumb for a tub of ice cream.

This place is well worth the money and the option of the spa allows you to treat the other half to something a bit different. Currently they are doing a full body massage for £35 which from other reviews I know is cheap as chips.
Some cracking sea view rooms which are ideal and right on the sea front and will win you many brownie points!
In terms of what you pay for what you get in Brighton this place is ok but there are some places that are cheaper and offer similar levels of quality.

Sick of being palmed off with a room the size of a shoe box?
Check into the Queens Hotel then. A mammoth hotel a stone’s throw from Brighton Pier, it has over 90 rooms that you could comfortably play a game of hide and seek in. As a bonus, half of them have incredible sea views and are a great place to watch the sunset with a glass of bubbly. The hotel was recently refurbished too — so all the rooms feel shiny and new with crisp white bedding, dark wood or black furniture and LCD TVs. Every room is en suite and has a big bath or shower.
I’ve stayed a couple of times and was pleasantly surprised by what great value the Queens is since double rooms are often available through the hotel and Late Rooms for the bargain price of £69. My only tip is, if you go during the summer season and there’s only rooms at the back left — ask for a high floor. The noise from the clubs at the back might keep you awake on a lower floor. I’d give it four stars if they modernised the gym area downstairs. As it is — you have to walk through the gym in your costume to get to the swimming pool. Not big, clever or hygenic!

I have been going to brighton for business meeting and just little breaks for the past 4 years and after staying in a few hotels, the queens hotel is a definate everytime i go now. The staff are very polite to my many requests. The gym and sauna is very well designed and relaxing. The breakfast is lovely, full english available as well as continental. The hotel is very clean, and you are not disrupted by any neighbouring guests. However you may be well aware of the brighton nightlife, being in student central it’s expected but it easily drowns out if you close the windows.
The hotel is about 2 minutes walk to the pier. The only down fall is parking, but its the same in brighton. My advice is park to the left of the pier it’s free after 6pm and only 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Or you can park in the marina all day till 6pm then move the the pier therefore not having to pay for parking :)
Enjoy your stay

It might be worth paying extra for a sea view room because on the other side of the hotel is a noisy bar, one nightclub and spearmint rhino. We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday night in September and the noise from idiots coming out of the bar or club kept us awake all through the night — this continued right through until 6am so goodness knows where they were coming from!
The breakfast at the hotel is lovely — you really couldn’t fault the quality and choice of food.
Staff were friendly and helpful although when we checked in at 3pm the cleaners were cleaning the room from the last occupants and we had to wait 15 minutes outside the room while they cleaned it. Check-​out is at 11am so why they waited until 4 hours later I don’t know.
The best thing about this hotel is the location, just across the road from the pier and at the end of the laines so great for shopping which is why we picked it.
