Leonardo Hotels in Brighton

The hotel is located directly above the train station, which made the area feel a bit chaotic. While navigating to the beach, I took some small paths where I saw a few homeless people and even witnessed a loud argument between a Black and a White person, which was quite unsettling. The white front desk staff member was completely expressionless. When I asked her if parking near the intersection was allowed for hotel guests, her only reply was, 'Only taxis can park here, I can do nothing.' To be fair, all the other staff members were very good. Perhaps this particular staff member gets asked about parking too often. The bathroom sink in our room drained incredibly slowly, almost completely blocked. The only positive was the fearless and adorable seagulls on our windowsill. Overall, I wouldn't really recommend this place. It's a 20-minute walk to the beach. If your budget allows, or during the off-peak season, I'd advise staying closer to the beach instead.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hotel, and I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Every interaction — from the front desk to housekeeping — was warm, professional, and genuinely kind. It’s clear that guest satisfaction is a top priority here. One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel bar. Cozy, stylish, and expertly run, it was the perfect place to unwind in the evening. The bartender was not only skilled but also incredibly friendly, offering great conversation and even better cocktails. It felt less like a hotel bar and more like a local gem. Breakfast in the morning was another standout. The variety and quality of the offerings were impressive — fresh pastries, perfectly cooked eggs, seasonal fruits, and rich, aromatic coffee that started the day off right. The dining staff was attentive and cheerful, making the experience even more enjoyable. This hotel is a true example of hospitality done right. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!
