Really enjoyed my stay at Marine View, the host was super welcoming and friendly and was there to meet me upon check in. He helped me with my bags and showed me to my room which was super clean. The room although advertised as a shared bathroom had its own shower and sink facilities which was great. The toilet was just next door. The room has great storage and space to hang clothes as well as a kettle, tea making facilities tv and a small desk where i could get some work done in the morning on the free wifi. Perfect room for solo travellers, everything is super close by with Brighton Pier a 5 minute walk away and the lanes about 10. There is parking outside the hotel as well. Highly recommend and would return if in Brighton again! :)

Nothing to report.

This was across the board a superb stay in the centre of Brighton, and would wholeheartedly recommend the hotel. We were a couple wanting to go out and experience the city, and the hotel was a perfect base to do this - we'd nip back throughout the day between activities to rest and recharge, particularly as it was during a heatwave. It is located a veritable stone's throw from the attractions, such as the beach and the Palace Pier, and right next to the bars and restaurants in Kemptown. As you might expect from a hotel in Brighton, in Kemptown, the staff were very friendly and receptive to an LGBT couple. The hotel facilities were great - towels were provided and the room was cleaned each day, and the cleaning staff were flexible with us coming and going at different times. Parking was also very handy, though admittedly a bit of a gamble - there are spaces around New Steine park but it is public parking, so it very much depends on if someone is coming or going at that time. However even during a heatwave we only had to circle the park once before a space became available, and we just left it parked there for the duration of our stay.

We went during a heat wave in August 2023, and while we wouldn't have expected full air con the room could have benefited from a fan, as the heat was very intense at times. However, given the usual weather in the UK, I can imagine at other times this wouldn't be a problem at all. And the staff did considerately do everything they could to accommodate for this by keeping the curtains closed for us in the day before we arrived - something we did throughout the rest of the stay, which helped mitigate the heat.

Friendly staff, great price, bed was more comfortable than I expected. Towels were provided as well. Pretty much had everything I needed despite being the most basic room

The biggest issue here was other guests, which can't be helped. Mostly due to booking a room with shared facilities, other guests where a bit more rowdy on the Saturday night and weed everywhere but the toilet.. I did also only have decaff coffee in my room, but that's not a major issue and I'm sure I could have asked for some normal coffee

Great place that is easy to reach from the seafront. Really liked the fact that staff were to hand on-site to help us settle in. Beds and room were comfy, the amenities including coffee, biscuits were handy and useful. Liked the close access to shops etc. in Kemptown. Really good value for money and you can pick up the Brighton vibe at Marine view!

Showers and bathroom were a bit small for my liking.

Everything! Its 5mins walk to the beach. Unlimited treats by hotel. PIC is super helpful and kind. Room and bed is comfy. I had a good sleep at night I love seagull waking me up every morning. Shower is great! Easy access by public transport. Its 10mins by bus from train station.

Position of telly can be lower and size can be bigger bit. but the host is explaining they are in the middle of replacing it. Maybe my next visit i will be able to enjoy english channel in comfort way. But i do come for beach not for telly.

lovely little guest house - room 8 is right at the top, petite but perfectly workable - comfortable bed, ok shower, endless coffee - everything you really need, nothing that you don’t. Lovely helpful friendly gentleman staff.

I had a massive flight case and it’s right at the top of 4 flights of stairs - it’s doable but if you’re a bit infirm you may need to take the offer of assistance from the on-site manager. Bit of mould in the shower and water flow a bit on the slow side but still usable. That’s being picky.

Close to everything, 10 mins walk from Brighton centre and pretty much across the road from the pier. Stayed a week, I have no complaints, covers basic needs. Room’s a tad small but enough for me, and the host was lovely. Would go back again.

Nothing

Great location, walking distance to Brighton Pier, beaches, I360, shops & restaurants & the lanes of Brighton. Owner/ Manager was very friendly & helpful.

Bathroom amenities were small, but very clean. Stairs to upper levels were narrow & steep to navigate your luggage. In saying that the owner was prepared to take luggage up for you if required.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The size of the room we stayed in was on the small side, and a small toilet, shower room. Very clean and comfortable and can't fault the property, just was expecting a bigger room. On the plus side the property was very central for us to wander about, so would recommend.

Nice location. Friendly staff. Room good. Only stayed one night. Licaris pretty much central to town & front. All walkable.

Parking is expensive and not enough parking for where you need to be... Unless your hotel has their own parking its bit of a pain. This didn't affect our stay. We parked on front but someone had damaged our wing mirror on return but luckily enough its ok...
