Best Western Princes Marine Hotel

We recently stayed here in a big group for the London to Brighton Off Road Bike Race. We needed a hotel that was close to the finish line, had parking, and could store a number of mountain bikes, and this place fitted the bill. The hotel is a little bit away from the centre of Brighton, nearer Hove, but it's in a good location directly across from the beach and within easy walking distance of some shops and pubs, although the hotel does have it's own restaurant and bar. The rooms were clean, big, and had all the amenities needed. We had a sea view room and it was lovely. There are drinks facilities, TV, WIFI, and the bed was big and comfy. I'd like to make a big point about how friendly and helpful the staff were. As mentioned we had a number of mountain bikes, and the staff let us use a locked room to store these safely, and they also let me park there from early morning the day of arrival, before I could actually check in, and also the following day they let me continue to park there, after we'd checked out, while we went into town to have a wander and get some lunch, basically saving us a lot of hassle and small fortune in parking charges - as anyone who knows Brighton knows, it is not the easiest or cheapest place to get parked! Nothing seemed too much trouble for them and everything was done with a smile. We will definitely be returning next year over the weekend of the ride, as we couldn't have chosen a more perfect stopover. less

The location is just down the road from Hove beach. Nice clean room, decent bathroom. It was very warm when we were there, we didn't realise we could of asked for a fan. The barman was friendly and we had some lovely food there. Can't fault the place less

Spotlessly clean hotel. ALL staff efficient, friendly and nothing too much trouble. Breakfast amazing & very promptly served - all freshly cooked, nothing sitting in trays. We did not eat other meals in hotel as visiting relatives. Car parking good - rather tight but manageable and free. Could not praise this hotel enough and we will definitely return. All staff deserve praise - they do a really good job which is appreciated. Also great location - we walked along the sea front to the pier, around The Lanes etc and managed to walk back !! Great hotel. less

This was a business trip so only stayed 1 night. Room was a little dated but well maintained and spotlessly clean. My room service was speedy and the meal of Battered Halloumi arrived very quick and was enormous The room was huge and could sleep 4, bed was comfy Couldn't get BBC1 on the tv until the morning, however WIFI allowed me to stream it live with a little buffering. Breakfast was beautiful and freshly cooked, great scrambled egg and nice Sausages. lots of variety available All staff very polite. The best view of the beach when I woke and the sun shone to Will definitely come back. less

Stayed at this hotel for four nights last week with my wife and elderly parents.only a short taxi ride from hove train station. Friendly reception staff and our room was clean and comfortable. We ate in the bar area three times over the four days we were there and the food was very good quality far exceeded our expectations.The breakfasts were also very good and a wide choice available. We didn't have a sea view but are available on request at a small extra charge. Good friendly hotel with good quality good and drink which I think was spot on. less
