Basic hotel, with very small room. Staff were very helpful and friendly but this hotel is not up to same standards as other Malmaisons we have stayed at, which considering the cost, represents very poor value for money.

We really enjoyed staying here for a couple of nights. All of the staff we met were friendly and helpful. We had lunch at the Japanese restaurant and drinks in the bar, both of which were good. The facilities in our room were very good. However, I did notice that the decorative cushion on the bed was rather dirty and marked. We enjoyed having use of the shared outside terrace but felt that the outside of the property was in need of refurbishment.

We stayed in the deluxe sea view room with a balcony. The room was small but perfecty formed and the balcony overlooking the marina and sea was lovely and scenic.

Its walking distance from Kemptown but if you want to go further the hotel is quite far out from town. Nevertheless we had a good stay and would consider staying again.

Staff were absolutely fantastic in this hotel. Had a delicious bento box lunch on the day of check in which was great. Found that people just parked up in the hotels drop off spot in palm drive (check in and out) so parked in the Brighton marina car park level 6 which is free. There is a foot bridge from the west end of the car park to the board walk. You arrive at level 1 of the hotel and the reception / resultant is up on level 2. You don’t need to register for the car park or get a ticket. Be aware there is a car boot there on Sunday (in the car park). We had a Japanese style breakfast outside and this was also lovely. The room was nice with a good bathroom and a little balcony.

Really lovely hotel, the room was great spacious and really nice and its a good location for us, We came to this hotel last year at the same time, the difference being this time, the lovely bar area at the side of reception was closed and being used for seminar or something, a smaller bar area was further along was available, we stayed tues---fri, we did notice Friday night / sat morning they where setting the room up for restaurant, as we checked it we where told the restaurant is now Asian, which we looked forward to but looking at the menu it was more Sushi, which isn't to our taste..We did enjoy the hotel more last year but that's just personal taste..The parking at the hotel is a bonus and good..

The hotel is at the Marina end of Brighton-about an hour's walk or 10 minute car journey to the pier. The hotel staff were very welcoming and polite. The bar area, over looking the marina, was stylish and we enjoyed a couple of drinks there before heading out. Our room was, as expected, clean small but comfortable. There were tea and coffee bags and enough milk for a decent coffee. The bathroom was clean and the shower, despite taking ages to heat up, was good. We didn't eat at the Malmaisson so we can't advise on that. Overall a nice stay at a decent hotel.

The location of this hotel is fantastic. There are bars, restaurants, entertainment venues for adults and children right on your door step! We added to the fabulous view with a balcony room. The room was clean and modern with a comfortable bed. The shower was great with plenty of room.
Quiet rooms with soundproofing, we didn’t hear anyone at all next door.
The bar had a lovely outdoor seating area overlooking the Marina.
My only complaint is that the wardrobe ( a tiny space for hanging clothes ) is terrible. You open the door to find the fridge kettle and two dressing gowns and that is your hanging space.
Maybe ok for a 1 night stay but definitely not suitable for daytime and evening wear for a 4 day stay.
If you fancy a visit to Brighton city centre a bus runs 24 hours 7 days s week.
There is also a path that runs from the hotel down to the pier, approx 40min steady walk.
A great stay and although at the upper end of the budget it is definitely worth it!
To ease this, you do get free parking right next to the hotel.

Stayed as I was running in Brighton and have stayed at a Malmaison before. However, apart from the check-in it was all a bit meh. Room was a bit small balcony was tiny, and the door was hard to operate. Restaurant was all a bit odd and hard to work out where it was and whether it was open, and breakfast was missed as it stopped at 10:30 on Sunday (rather than 11:00 advertised on the website). Reception was in an odd place and reception didn’t answer our calls on Sunday morning. So all a bit expensive for what you get.

Lovely location. Our room was very small so I'd recommend to upgrade to larger one. Reception staff were welcoming and lovely. However, bar staff less friendly. Had to go upto the bar to get drinks which were expensive and then pay a heavy service charge to take my own drinks to my table. Service I understand when you receive it but not when you don't receive it.

Very nice hotel, a lot more \"upmarket\" than your traditional seaside hotel. The bed was comfy, air con (not usually needed in the UK but it was 27+degrees the few days we stayed), decent toiletries, great selection of tea and coffee in the room. The type of room we booked included robes and slippers. It's a quite far from the pier if that's the vibe you're looking for. There's plenty of restaurants and a few bars around but it was overall a very quiet area overlooking the marina. The car park they mention is not part of the hotel, it's marina car park...I followed the instructions to ignore the signs stating \"max stay 4 hours\" so let's hope no fines come through!

The hotel is fine, it struck me as a kind of an upmarket Premier Inn. Location is good although the Marina restaurants tend to the the Nandos/Pizza Hut/Zizzi end of the market, if you want anything nicer you will need to go into Brighton. The breakfast was expensive for what you got quality wise. It was OK for a night's stay.

The Malmaison is a good hotel with good, quality rooms. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. However, the service in the restaurant and bar area is terrible. At breakfast, I was greeted and sat at a table but then ignored. This happened on every day of my stay and it wasn’t as though it was busy. In the evening the restaurant also had the same issues. As a business traveller this is not helpful as time is an issue. I would not stay here again just on this basis. A great place to stay but not for breakfast or dinner!

This is a really great hotel and excellent value too. My room had a balcony overlooking the marina and the staff were all very welcoming and highly professional. I particularly like the decor in this place - even the corridors are cool. I've stayed in a few Malmaison places and they always give each location a particular character making each one a memorable experience.

I checked in quite late and only just made last orders in the restaurant (by a few minutes) but no one tried to hurry me up and they gave me plenty of time to peruse the menu and place my order (Thanks Alfie :-) ). Normally I don't tend to eat in hotel restaurants as they can often be rather uninspiring (captive audience), but the food here is absolutely superb! My rare fillet steak was cooked to perfection and really delicious. The portobello mushrooms were juicy and full of flavour and the truffle parmesan fries were really outstanding. Absolutely full marks to the chefs. This was one of the best dinners I've had in a long time.

Wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and you absolutely have to eat in the restaurant. Just Magnificent. Well done everyone!

Was diappointed to say the least as there was nowhere open to get any food anywhere and we were hungry as had been out all day . Have been going to mal maison since it was the seattle, like going there as its relaxing and also free parking, never had any problems there wont stop me going back. Staff on check in faultless.
