Free breakfast included, I slept in though so didn’t go. The room was surprisingly small for one at first but when you get settled in, it’s quite cozy. Luckily, a massive fan was provided during the summer so that’s great.
Parking was free, though the car park was very small so you had to be lucky or timely to get a space (I was lucky). The location was a 50 min walk from the sea front or a 10 min drive. Free water was also provided in the room which was very nice.

The hotel could benefit from some modernisation, as parts of it are looking a little dated.

My main concern was the location of Room 227. It was a very long walk from reception and quite difficult to reach. Fortunately, I wasn’t travelling with a suitcase; otherwise, getting to the room would have been much more difficult. Better signage or assistance with luggage would have been appreciated.

I'm actually happy to give the Preston Park Hotel a 5 star rating. I found absolutely nothing negative in my stay. There is ample parking on site. Staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful, and the room was a decent size. More than big enough for myself and my Girlfriend to be comfortable. I'm guessing the bed had a good quality memory foam mattress, because the bed was wonderfully comfortable. The complimentary Tea/Coffee provision in our room was extremely generous, and the Breakfast was very nice, with a decent selection available. Some would call the Preston Park Hotel basic, but as a base location for an evening out in Brighton city centre, it was perfect for our personal needs.

Absolutely no gripes here. 👍

The carpark is much improved with free parking (and more space than there used to be).

Reception was friendly and efficient. Corridor was a bit dowdy. I'd booked a single room but was delighted to find a well appointed room with a double bed and a bath. There was a fair selection of teas, coffees and toiletries plus 2 bottles of water. Everything worked as it should.

Breakfast was great if you like a full English. Quality sausage and bacon, scrambled egg etc. The breakfast waiter was very helpful and friendly. There was a very limited selection of fruit.


Minor negatives - a cobweb or 2 high in my room, paint stains on the corridor carpets and battered internal doors.

Overall - great value.

We are more than pleased with the service we received. All staff were happy and helpful. The parking is in the hotel grounds and safe. The bar is relaxed and comfortable with good quality draft beer and drinks. The breakfast/restaurant area is well lit and layout is good. The free breakfast is very good quality,freshly cooked and kept well stocked with fresh food throughout breakfast. Part waiter served and part buffet self serve works very well. We had one meal in the restaurant which was good, wine list could be improved. Overall this is a nice place for a short break with good bus service into the town and a good park nearby. The hotel will only get better, and we will return.

Cold water pressure was so low that toilet took ages to refill, and shower only delivered hot water so could not be used at all.

The staff where friendly, polite and mostly helpful (although after about 40 minutes they eventually let me know that they couldn't find a ironing board that I could use).

I book 3 rooms for me and my family.

None of the rooms were pleasant:
- curtains hanging off rails, with holes in them, and not able to fully shut
- the shower pressure was non-existent, making it almost impossible to use
- needed to run the hot water tap for 5 minutes before it turned hot enough
- one of the windows wouldn't shut properly
- poor (but clean) bedding, so ended up sleeping in jumpers
- in desperate need of redecoration, pealing paintwork, cobwebs, some signs of damp, etc.

Fit for demolition!

This hotel is not fit for purpose, it is run down, dark, dingy and smelly (musty). It is in desperate need of full refurb or demolition. It is obvious that the property has not been decorated or refreshed in decades. The photos on the website are clearly many years old and do not represent the hotel’s condition.

I raised a complaint with Hotels.com as they should not be selling accommodation here, they have passed the buck. I was told that the property would respond to my complaint. I have heard nothing.

I have added photo’s to give an impression, sadly I cannot upload the videos I took, which is a shame as the pictures don’t give the degradation the credit it deserves.

For balance, the receptionist was absolutely lovely, very friendly and welcoming. Additionally, whilst the property is knackered and smelly, the room seemed to be clean.

Somewhat sub-par, but may fit your budget.

Well to start with it's basically one of the more budget options in the Brighton area that has parking so you can't expect too much, however even booking a few months in advance it was still £100+ a night.

The customer service from front desk was actually very good and friendly. After checking in I asked for a fan and the lady got me one promptly.

Parking is off road and easy access, just need to put your reg in on the tablet at the front desk.

There is a bar and pool table, didn't try the food.

The room was pretty antiqued and although the sheets and general surfaces were clean there was still a lot to be desired in the cleanliness department. The bath plug hole was full of hair which would make your stomach churn. The toilets waste pipe that ran horizontal was covered in thick dust. More attention to detail is needed in this department.
