22 July 2010 ~ “Friendly, pristine, wonderful location and great breakfast” 

Had a lovely and relaxed couple of days here. We stayed in Camelot, which is I believe the most "compact" room. It was small, but fine for 2 days, the bed was very comfy, and the medieval theme was cute without being overwhelming.

The hosting was friendly but not intrusive, the location is ideal - you have to like walking a bit, but we enjoyed the walk into the Lanes and other touristy areas, especially as we ate extremely well, not only breakfast but in Brighton generally.

Would recommend Blue Man Moroccan restaurant and Food for Friends for delicious veggie food.

21 July 2010 ~ “Perfect Little B&B” 

We stayed in the titanic room for 2 nights to celebrate my husband’s birthday and from the moment you walk into the house to the moment you leave it is pure luxury. I had arranged for some cava to be in the room when we arrived which was perfectly selected and tasted Devine. The bed was very comfortable and the room a fair size. Although the bathroom was small the room more then made up for it. I loved the fresh flowers not only in our room but the house; it gives a lovely smell when you walked into the rooms. I guess you could say it’s a tad bit expensive compared to some places but when you think if all the little touches and the service you get I don’t think it really is. It was a perfect little hotel in a perfect location. We loved our stay so much, that we were very sad to leave. We would recommend to anyone and will also be visiting again.

Lovely touches and extras

Flowers in room
Toiletries
Water, coke, yoghurt, orange juice, milk & chocolate bars in room
Breakfast in room (freshly cooked)

Thanks Again Phil & Ken.

20 July 2010 ~ “Absolutely first class, would highly recommend and visit again” 

From the moment Ken greeted us at the front door, I thought 'now here's somewhere I'm going to enjoy staying'. The entrance hall was immaculate and looking up you could see the beautiful staircase and original features that have been restored to the building. Our room was the 'Garbo' room on the ground floor overlooking the petite patio garden at the rear which was decked out with beautiful palm trees, hanging baskets and pots in full bloom. What a lovely outside space. Our room was immaculately clean, with everything you could possibly need for a weekend or overnight stay. I particularly liked the gorgeous original 1930's dressing table. There was a fridge, TV with DVD player - you can borrow films from the film library in the lounge area, hospitality tray, notepad and pen, maps, visitors guides, complimentary toiletries, oh everything had been thought of. I was most impressed to discover that the mattress was a high quality 'memory foam' one and enjoyed my best nights sleep in ages. So much so that I am now pestering hubby to buy one!. When we came back late friday afternoon after a hard days shopping, i didn't feel so good, but Ken and Phill did all they could to make me feel better. Ken dashed off for some peppermint tea, nothing was too much trouble. I felt much better in the morning after a delicious full English breakfast in the Palm Court Dining Room. My only complaint here would be the woman that spent the whole time talking on her mobile 'phone, even whilst eating! As if you'd do that in a restaurant, sooo rude. We stayed here as a treat for my husband's birthday. We're both trendy types in our early forties who love the good things in life and good service. You cannot fail to be impressed if you stay here.

19 July 2010 ~ “Thanks guys for a lovely stay” 

Found this B&B on tripadvisor, and was very happy with our stay. Nice service, such as chocolate in the fridge and a great cooked breakfast. Very satisified, well recomended!

9 July 2010 ~ “Excellent - lovely B&B in the heart of Kemp Town” 

Brighton Pavilions is a beautiful retreat close to the Brighton pier, seaside, and night life. Ken and Phill are wonderful hosts, ready at a moment's notice to help and generous with WIFI, breakfast, and amiability. When I return to Brighton, here is the only place I'd stay.

8 July 2010 ~ “Fantastic B&B with great hosts” 

It truly is a delightful place with Ken & Phil the perfect hosts who are so friendly and helpful. It is immaculately cleaned and my friend and I loved it. We loved it so much that we are returning again in December with my daughters. I always take my dog and they even made the dog feel welcomed. Thank you Ken & Phil. Nimmi.

5 July 2010 ~ “lovely Boutique Hotel” 

I have recently retured from a 7 night stay at The Brighton Pavilions hotel.I paid £390 for sole occupancy of a double room which I think was a reasonable price.
I chose this hotel because of its good reviews on Trip Advisor,and I 'm glad that I did so.
I stayed in The Garbo room which is small ,but very clean ,comfortable &nicely decorated with attention to detail. The ensuite bathroom ,with shower is nice too.
The people who run the hotel and the people who work there were all friendly & approachable.
I think the hotel was full for at least some of my stay but it was very quiet .
The dining room is nice ,bright & airy.Guests help themselves to cereals ,yoghurt &grapefruit & orange segments.There is a cooked breakfast [Veggie or non veggie] which is freshly prepared .& nicely presented.I was always asked if I wanted extra toast,,extra coffee etc.

4 July 2010 ~ “Fabulous hotel in great location” 

Stayed in June 2010 while touring the area - from the minute we crossed the threshold to the minute we left Ken and Phill could not have been more accomodating and friendly - extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble - Ken even gave us some champagne flutes when he saw us carrying in a bottle. We stayed in the Royal Pavilion room which not only looked fantastic but was extremely comfortable. We slept with the windows open yet were not disturbed as the street outside was very quiet, even though the centre is only a few minutes walk away. We had breakfast in our room which was fantastic - the whole stay was a real opulent and wonderfully over the top experience - we loved it and will certainly be back.

3 July 2010 ~ “5* service for 3* prices..” 

The welcoming nature of the owners made me feel at home straight away which was good as I've never been to Brighton before. Good location 5-10 min walk to the pier and the main shopping area. The rooms were spotless and a fridge with free soft drinks and snacks. All the rooms have a theme which gives the place character and a warm feeling that you don't get with chain hotels. It was the same price as the nearest premier inn but with breakfast included and most likely better service. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in Brighton.

30 June 2010 ~ “A fabulous little place with incredible service” 

My colleague and I stayed at Brighton Pavilions. Our hosts, especially Ken, were always courteous, helpful, and accommodating. I was shocked that so many of my colleagues staying at other hotels were nickled and dimed until their final bills were outrageous. Here, breakfast and internet were included, so I didn't have to worry about a huge bill at the end. The breakfasts were made to-order, so they were always wonderfully fresh. The theme rooms were so cute! We stayed in the Camelot room. Although it was quite warm due to the unseasonably hot weather, a fan was included to encourage the flow of air. I would not hesitate to stay here again for future visits.

22 June 2010 ~ “Brilliant experience, beautiful room, excellent service!” 

We stayed at the Brighton Pavilions for 3 nights in June. We were warmly welcomed by Ken who dealt with the parking permit immediately - great to be able to forget about the car for the weekend!

Absolutely LOVED the room! We stayed in the Garbo room and really liked the art deco style and other touches such as the 'do not disturb' sign which said 'I want to be alone'. The room was small but very clean and had everything you'd expect from a larger, more expensive hotel; toiletries, tea/coffee and biscuits, TV, etc. They also provided drinks and chocolate in the mini fridge which is always a winner in my eyes! There is also a selection of DVDs which you can borrow free of charge if you fancy staying in your room and watching a film.

Breakfast was lovely every day - my fiancé and I are both vegetarian but definitely didn't go hungry as there were plenty of veggie options available.

All in all, a fabulous experience - great food, excellent service and quirky, clean rooms. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others and will definitely be going back.

18 June 2010 ~ “Clean / Comfortable and Very Welcoming” 

Ken and Phill couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful.
The Room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent
Overall a very good weekend.
We would definatly return

14 June 2010 ~ “A perfect gem of a place” 

Travelled with friends for a week-end in Brighton and not disappointed with this gem of a bed and breakfast. The owners and all staff were welcoming, friendly, efficient, warm and helpful. Our rooms, although small, were perfectly formed; they were comfortable, quiet, spotlessly clean and each one wonderfully decorated. The whole accommodation was charming, plush, smelt great and felt fantastic from the moment you walked in. The location is excellent; close enough to all amenities (within walking distance if you don't mind walking) but far enough away to avoid the noise and rowdy crowds at night. It is situated in a lovely area and as a party of 5 women we felt totally safe both within and outside of the accommodation. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay again with our partners or families if we visited Brighton again.

13 June 2010 ~ “Themed Hotel - Garbo Experience” 

Eccentric and entertaining.
Our room, while a wee bit of a tight fit, was very clean and tastefully decorated, as you would expect in Garboesque style. Bigger rooms to be had apparenly but ours suited us perfectly.
Very friendly and efficient hosts and staff. Good grub, well presented.
Placed well within reach of The Lanes and The North Laines (our pref).
Good nearby restaurants but better pubs nearer to the Brighton Dome
Also recommend trying the eateries at the Brighton Marina. You'll think you're in the Med if the sun shines here.
Have already recommended this hotel to friends.
Thank you Ken and Phill for a comfortable and friendly experience. Hope the dog got better

8 June 2010 ~ “Excellent hotel, lovely room and first class service!” 

Really interesting delightful room decorated and furnished with a great attention to detail. Wonderful hosts, friendly and very informative. The most wonderful thing about our 2 night stay was all the little extras, breakfast served to the room, great hospitality tray, complimentary fridge of goodies and even a box of chocs for my boyfriend who was celebrating his birthday while there! Would go back tomorrow if i could!

1 June 2010 ~ “Stylish Comfortable and Comfy” 

Whenever you arrive at any accommodation you always hope that it will be meet your expectations. You won’t be disappointed at the Brighton Pavilions. Our welcome was warm and efficient. Ken dealt with the residents parking permit, only £5 from Saturday lunch through to Monday lunch. He also helped us take or luggage to the room and explained what we needed to know for our stay. The location is only yards from the seafront and just a gentle stroll to the pier and the centre of town.
We stayed in the Titanic Pavilion. Well worth the climb up the stairs and as with the rest of the house it was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The four poster bed is both impressive and comfortable. There was plenty of room for your clothes and a small fridge with complementary chocolate, soft drinks and water.
We ate breakfast in our room the first morning, it delivered promptly and was again up to the standard set throughout. All the staff we encountered were very pleasant and helpful. Ken and Phill were happy to answer any questions and give advice on where to eat etc.
If we visit Brighton again we would definitely stay at the Brighton Pavilions.

29 May 2010 ~ “cannot be much better in Brighton” 

A stunning small bed and breakfast hotel that surely cannot be bettered in Brighton. The attention to detail is breathtaking and everything is spotlessly clean. This coupled with very competitive room rates make this hotel is a must stay hotel for all. We will certainly be returning and hope to stay in one of the larger four poster bed rooms. Best regards to Ken and Phil who made our stay so enjoyable.

21 May 2010 ~ “A quiet and elegant hideaway, just off the seafront!!” 

The MMA used the Hotel as the Committee hotel during their recent conference. The staff could not have been more helpful. The Hotel was spotlessly clean, and breakfasts excellent. My wife and I stayed in one of the two four poster rooms, that come with room service. It was a joy to return to the quiet and elegant surroundings of the Hotel, after the busy days at the conference. We will certainly return on our next visit to Brighton. Highly recommended.

16 May 2010 ~ “Stay at the Brighton Pavilions Hotel - it's lovely!!” 

Excellent service, we were very well looked after and the management were extremely accommodating. We chose Brighton Pavilions as they take well behaved dogs and the themed rooms looked really quirky on the internet.
The hotel was fabulously clean and very well cared for. The room was beautifully presented and you'd really never know that dogs had been in there so don't let the fact that they accept dogs put you off if you're not a dog lover!!
Location was great, a 5 min walk along the gorgeous beach to the pier and about 10 min walk into the city centre.
Loved it all, would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

17 May 2010 ~ “Such a joy to stay in such luxurious

                             surroundings and to be so well looked after” 

Fantastic position near all you need in Brighton. Superb hosts, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast served at sensible times and with style. Rooms are just stunning - each one a theme all on its own. I stayed in Garbo, downstairs double room - and I felt I was surrounded by 1920's luxury, silk curtains and bedspread - with all the other IT and TV of the 21st century. I have already recommended this B & B to friends and family. I hope to be back to stay and have time to enjoy it all again.

16 May 2010 ~ “Fantastic hotel!!” 

Brighton Pavillions was a fantastic choice for our stay in Brighton. The owners were so helpful and friendly and the rooms were unusual and very comfortable. Would definitely go back and recommend it to others!

10 May 2010 ~ “Top hotel” 

Top Hotel, Good Price, quality clean comfortable four poster room.
Excellent breakfast brought to our room when we required.
very warm friendley welcome, the guys couldnt do enough for us.
when we return to brighton we will not waste time looking at other hotels, this one is a no brainer. in an excellent location.

4 May 2010 ~ “Super weekend” 

We had a great weekend in the Pavilions in the Titanic room. Everything was as described in the website and went beyond our expectations. The hosts ( Ken and Phil) were terrific and had lots of great advice and help especially around the parking. the advice on their website on restaurants was great and really useful.

19 Apr 2010 ~ “A lovely place to stay .....” 

Stayed 3 nights with wife and children - boys 9 & 12. Bags taken up the 52 stairs with some effort by our host to the top floor Family Room. Rooms good size but not overly keen on the showers in the rooms or the small toilet with no sink so you have to go through two doors before you can wash you hands. Rattly windows and inconvenient wind direction deprived us of a good nights sleep in the first night. Beds huge and warm. Plenty of nice touches such as the complimentary videos choccolate and drinks which went down very well. Rattly window issue efficiently resolved to give us two lovley nights sleep. Breakfast ample, well presented and filling but unremarkable - id like to see some local produce heralded. Location excellent for visiting all attractions but not quite close enough to the town to nip conveniently back if needed during a day out in Brighton (perhaps that's me being lazy). Whilst this might seem like a grumbly report its not really - the minor issues here are just that - the decor is lovley and thoughtfully done and the very best of a lovely historical building has been made in a wonderful town. I felt is was expensive but that's from the opinion of someone who usually stays in YHA's. I take my hat off to the owners. May their bookings be long and regular.

10 Apr 2010 ~ “Well appointed Regency boutique hotel, ideal for couples” 

Ideal base for a break in Brighton. Friendly, welcoming staff who are happy to help in any way they can to make your stay thoroughly enjoyable. Thoroughly recommended.

5 Apr 2010 ~ “FIRST CLASS - BEST B and B/Hotel I've ever been to!” 

If you are looking for a bit of luxury or a weekend away where you can be well looked after, this place is perfect + very reasonably priced. We had to choose between The Grand De Vere / Brighton Pavillions Hotel...we definately made the right choice! With a full English Breakfast + a complimentary Easter Egg + other treats, we felt v welcome.

Many reviews suggested B and Bs and hotels are quite noisy in Brighton. However, we were SO close to the sea front (5 mins walk to the Pier) and we had a luxurious quiet nights sleep.

30 Mar 2010 ~ “Brighton Pavilions is the jewel in Brighton's crown!” 

This hotel is stunning!!
Beautifully decorated rooms, the owners and staff are very welcoming and friendly and the whole place is spotlessly clean.

Well done Ken and Phil, we will be back soon.

30 Mar 2010 ~ “Wonderful Service in a beautiful hotel” 

Brighton Pavilions Hotel is a gorgeous building with unique decor-each room is different making every stay feel slightly different and special. Ken and Phil are exceptionally attentive and genuine, and customer satisfaction is clearly very important to them! I could not find fault with any aspect of the hotel, from the cleanliness and service to the breakfast-which was delicious!

The hotel is perfectly situated, just a stones throw from the sea front and only a short walk to the lanes, as well as being surrounded by a wide variety of places to eat. The rooms were quiet and I did not hear a jot of traffic. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and will definately be returning myself.

30 Mar 2010 ~ “Charming themed boutique hotel” 

Friendly helpful people, fantastic attention to detail throughout. Our room was delightful and very quiet. Unlike most chain hotels, breakfast was freshly cooked to order and delicious- my husband judges a hotel on the breakfast ! -and this one got top marks! will definitely stay again.

28 Mar 2010 ~ “If you fancy something a bit different try this B&B” 

Really enjoyed our stay at Brighton Pavilions B&B. The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely stay here again.

22 Mar 2010 ~ “Wonderful Weekend in a wonderful B & B” 

Finding a reliable B&B Hotel in brighton can be a bit of a minefield. So the consistently good service, well decorated rooms and high state of cleanliness at the Brighton Pavilions was very welcome. All too often seaside resorts rely on churn business from clients unlikely to stay again and hence a lot of Brighton rooms can be tired and run down regardless of the chain owning them, with service variable to say the least. Not so at Brighton Pavilions who's ethic is admirable and consistent, giving the client an excellent stay.

This was our second stay at the Hotel, the last being almost exactly 4 years ago. Rooms are well appointed, spotlessly clean and the owners go well out of their way to accommodate your needs.

I was particularly impressed that a bouquet of flowers I asked to be present in the room as it exceeded all expectations and had obviously been ordered with consideration of our anniversary.

In the room we stayed in breakfast was brought to us in the morning when you rang down and ordered - which was a very nice touch and the complimentary snacks and drinks in the fridge were a very welcome and thoughtful addition. For those eating in the lower ground floor dining area, the room is nicely decorated, clean throughout and has a very pleasant ambience.

Overall I can state that having stayed in hundreds of hotels across the UK and the world that I would have no hesitation recommending Brighton Pavilions.

18 Mar 2010 ~ “Great Place to stay” 

Lovely place. Attention to detail is excellent. Ken and Phil are exceptionally helpful. Breakfast was wonderful. The bedrooms are slightly on the small side but are adequate and very comfortable. The decor and detail in the rooms make the hotel memorable from the run of the mill. This is a place that you will go to and remember and talk about the warmth of the welcome and the helpfulness if the staff (Steven). Highly recommended.

16 Mar 2010 ~ “I don't normally write reviews, but this place deserves 1” 

this place amazed me, the attention to detail was amazing, each of the rooms has its own theme, and you can tell that thieve spent a lot of time and money getting everything just right, also the free (yes free)refreshments that were in the fridge, was a nice surprise, the hosts were very welcoming and couldn't do enough for me, the location was perfect,1 min and your on the beach, and 5 mins and your in the city centre, but it was just far enough away from the nightlife to relax in my room, again @ breakfast, attention to detail was stunning, would no hesitate to recommend this 2 my friends and family, well done guys, loved my stay there.

11 Mar 2010 ~ “I'll be back to this place” 

The bed and breakfast was charming very clean and the rooms beautifully decorated. We stayed in the Titanic room with a comfortable four poster bed, tea and coffee making facilities, fridge and TV with a selection of DVDs available. Breakfast was good and plentyfull. We were made to feel welcome from the onset. I would definitely return to this hotel. The only minus point was the limited parking in the immediate area of the hotel, but there are plenty of spaces within a few hundred yards along the sea front.

11 Mar 2010 ~ “Charming and full of character” 

Welcoming, attentive staff concerned with our comfort and every attention to detail. Chose the Camelot Room because we love Pre-Raphaellite art and before you could say "Bob's your Uncle" we had a gorgeous glossy Pre-Raphaellite coffee table art book to peruse for the weekend. Great selection of DVD's for their digital TV; very comfy bed; room at the back of the hotel, so no noise except for the seagulls; and a delicious slap-up full English breakfast - with a great vegetarian option. Love the atmosphere at this unique hotel and enjoy the ten minute walk into town either along the sea-front or through the interesting shops of Kemptown.

9 Mar 2010 ~ “Wonderful Weekend in a wonderful B & B” 

Cannot say enough about this wonderful B & B , rooms were lovely , clean and comfortable. The hosts were so kind and friendly and could not do enough for us. When they discovered we were there to celebrate our 40th anniversary, they left a box of Thornton's chocolates and a card in our room, a small touch but a very thoughtful one. Food and other staff were very good, so we would not hesitate to recommend this great B & B to family and friends.

2 Mar 2009 ~ “Very Nice Hotel” 

I stayed here last weekend in the Alpine Room - very nicely decorated. The hotel is comfortable and the owners very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was lovely and very prompt as I was in a hurry. The noise on the street outside my room, which was at the front of the hotel, was a bit of a problem as there are quite a few b&bs on this road and obviously revellers returning late make a racket - perhaps some triple glazing might do the trick. Other than that - a very enjoyable stay

3 Mar 2010 ~ Management Response by Ken Clarke, co-owner

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us.  However, we are sorry that you seem to have been unaware of the Everest secondary double glazing in that room which will elimated 99% of street noise if closed correctly. It really does work - how do we know? We sleep at the front of the hotel and have the same system - we didn't hear a thing that Saturday night!!

1 Mar 2010 ~ “The Way Things should be....” 

If only you could guarantee that the reality matched the product promised on the internet....

When booking Brighton Pavilions, I thought that if it was at least comfortable and quiet, It would have been good value.

It was a real pleasure to find that that was just the starting point and to find the place run with real care and warmth. The decor is well conceived and executed. The fabrics are heavy and excellent quality, the 4-poster bed was heavy and solid, not some cheap gimmick frame, the fireplace was marble, not some faux paint effect, there were fresh cut flowers in the room, the service was helpful, warm and unobtrusive and everything was immaculately clean.

In addition, the bed itself was very comfortable with lovely feather pillows and the full breakfasts we ordered were promptly delivered to the room and were very good indeed.

We are uber mega picky people and can be a pain in the rear. We are also dreadful snobs and have not stayed in a B&B for a very long time. Suffice to say, reading the above, we will definitely return here with pleasure. Well done Guys!

25 Feb 2010 ~ “Just Perfect...” 

We were offered a warm welcome as we arrived, or bags were carried to our rooms and we were provided with a parking permit (pre-purchased) and clear advice as to where to park.

The gentlemen running this establsihment are warm and welcoming. The B and B is absolutely immaculate and exquisitely decorated.

Rooms were cleaned and refreshments replensihed on a daily basis and breakfast was cooked to order, with offers of extra coffee juice etc.

The b and b is within walking distance of the Pavillion, many of the clubs and bars and the sea front.

We had a fantastic stay and we will definitely be returning to this b and b, it offers excellent value for money.

24 Feb 2010 ~ “Great place for a Get Away.” 

A wonderfully well appointed hotel - very tastefully decorated.

22 Feb 2010 ~ “A friendly, clean and cozy hotel.” 

We were greeted in a very friendly and helpful manner, given guides to the city and advice of where to go to do whatever we fancied, which made us feel right at home. It was exceptionally clean and tidy which we appreciated and considering the central location and high standard of the room it seemed like good value for money.

The girlfriend was very happy with her birthday weekend, so we would definitely come back to try another themed room next time. Our only regret was not booking time off work to stay another day

21 Feb 2010 ~ “a very comfortable and stylish hotel with a very warm welcome” 

My boyfriend and I were very happy with our stay here. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Our room was gorgeous. It was themed as the titanic and had a very comfortable 4 poster bed. We both slept amazingly well. Breakfast was delicious and our hosts could be more helpful. We were given good advice about good eating places and sights to see

21 Feb 2010 ~ “Excellent service, warm and friendly atmosphere” 

Even though the hotel was full on the second night - we hardly heard anyone else. This is an ideal place to spend a quiet romantic weekend. The owners recommend some restaurants in their room information, one of which we tried and that was excellent too. We hope to come back and would recommend the Brighton Pavillions to anyone

16 Feb 2010 ~ “Simply delicious!” 

Having stayed in Brigton many times, mostly at the Hilton and once at the ghastly Queens Hotel, I was not sure what to expect from one of Brightons smaller establishments. However from the moment we drew up outside the front door with its warm glow from the hall lights it felt like comming home.

We were met by our host Phil who greeted us with a warm smile and shown to our room. The room itself was warm, welcoming and immaculate, as was the rest of this cosy little haven tucked away on a street just off the shore road.

Our first nights sleep was comfortable and the breakfast the next morning was fresh and delicious. Coffee and warm toast flowed from the ship-shape kitchen and the door between the dining room and kitchen was constantly open which allowed some banter between the staff and us as well as making us feel even more at home - this in itself was I felt a lovely touch as too often kitchens are hidden away from view, but not here, it was just like being in an aunts house for the weekend, albeit it tasteful and stylish aunt (no mothballs here!!!!!)

The following night was equally lovely, so much so that we decided to stay a third night and in return we had the opportunity to taste another of the Hotel's individually designed rooms - this time on the top floor, again there was no dissappointment here, no drafy attic space or servants quaters at the top of this beautiful old house, instead we were welcomed by the devine "Mikado room", lovingly decorated in greens and reds with yet another immaculate bathroom served with lashings of hot water from a shower that had enough power to scrub the decks of a cargo ship.............Conrad Hiltons establishment could learn a thing or two from Phil and his co-pilot Ken in running a hotel.

However now i will stop my ramble by saying that the staff at this joyous little port of rest are second to none, nothing was a problem, nothing was too much to ask and nothing from Hilton and Co could have ever impressed either of us as much. To Phil and Ken and their crew - we will be back again soon and we will bring all our friends.

P.s. My only regret is that the owners are not running a hotel chain - these people understand hospitality, and I for one would be a shareholder if the did run such a chain.

Enjoy your stay here........we did

16 Feb 2010 ~ “Fab room and stay for the weekend” 

We had a great stay in the Royal Pavillion room. Fantastically comfortable bed and having room service breakfast was perfect (especially with a hangover!). The room was well dressed, clean and has some lovely touches. The hosts were very friendly and eager to help out and recommend places to eat. Had a couple of probs with cold water from the shower (stuck controls) but was quickly resolved.

Will definitely come again the next time we're in Brighton and have no hesitation in recommending this hotel

9 Feb 2010 ~ “Best Hotel and weekend away EVER!” 

I adore this hotel. I've stayed all over the place and this pretty much tops my list. I can't really rave enough- but will try!
My amazing dude surprised with the whole thing, and I was impressed to the extent that I had to try to be quiet and calm myself. The whole place is beautiful and our room (Royal Pavillion) was gorgeous. There was even a sea view! And I wanted to take the bed home.
The gents who run the place are ace- kind and helpful. They sorted me out with a restaurant and were happy to chat.
It's just lovely. It's ridiculous and sumptuous and very fun.
I would advise any man who wants to properly impress their lover to take them here

2 Feb 2010 ~ “Excellent place to stay in Brighton.” 

My fiancee and i stayed in the titanic room and it was fantastic - clean, well designed, lovely decor and very comfortable The complementary snacks were a lovely touch and the flowers and robes made it feel really special. There were wine glasses in the room so we were able to take a bottle of wine to have before we went out in the evening. The breakfast brought into the room was really nice and it was lovely not to have to get dressed and go downstairs. Only one tip - ladies, take your own hairdryer - the one in the room was pretty useless!

26 Jan 2010 ~ “Outstanding friendly service in a beautiful hotel.” 

I booked this for my wife's birthday and selected it because the themed rooms made it a bit different, the wife loved the room so it had the intended effect. The staff were helpful and friendly, room and hotel spotless and a good breakfast. Location is good as only about 10 mins from town centre and also in a quiet road.

4 Jan 2010 ~ “Friendly welcome, clean, well decorated rooms, tasty brekkie.” 

We were warmly welcomed by the owner who insisted on carrying our luggage up to the top floor. Phew! We stayed in Mikado, our friends Camelot. Both spotless and well decorated. Shower room small but clean and adequate. Owners were happy to answer any questions and provided a lovely hearty breakfast

15 Dec 2009 ~ “Comfortable and friendly hotel in a good location.” 

Stayed in family room which was basic but comfortable

13 Dec 2009 ~ “Outstanding friendly service in a beautiful hotel.” 

We visit Brighton up to 5 times a year and would not consider staying anywhere other than the Brighton Pavillions. The hotel has a charming character, with cosy and comfortable rooms. We have had the pleasure of staying in three different rooms and all are of a particularly high standard. The proprietors have always been friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and at home. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is considering staying in Brighton.

11 Dec 2009 ~ “If only all Hotels were like this” 

What a really nice Hotel, each room is individually themed, fitted out and decorated to a impecciable standard ( if only my house was as nice). This attention to detail runs throughout the building and gives you an idea how Ken & Phil are so proud of the place. Two really friendly guys who made us feel so welcome, its a real pleasure to meet people like this. When they say have a nice day, its genuine and not some corperate buzz line.
Went to see UB40 in concert, OK so so. Stayed in a wonderful Hotel, met some nice people. Had a great breakfast. Happy days.

9 Dec 2009 ~ “This hotel is beyond excellence: an experience in

                          total elegance and absolutely out standing hospitality” 

I am delighted to give this hotel and its owners a first class recommendation. I am accustomed to staying in hotels on business through out Europe and of them all this one stands alone in its elegance, charm and hospitality. Add to ths the experience of being accommodated in period bedrooms (decorated with absolute integrity to the style) and you have a very memerable and immensely charming visit. The proprietors are beyond gracious and personally extremely friendly very approachable and concerned to respond to any request you might have successfully and expediently. This is my second visit and I shall be recommending the hotel to my professional and business colleagues with relish.

7 Dec 2009 ~ “Fantastic” 

Exceptional service. Fantastic decorated themed rooms. Ideal location. Good food. Friendly staff. Would definately recommend to friends and family. Next time we will try a different room. We will be going back.

3 Dec 2009 ~ “Look no further!” 

My wife and I spent 2 nights to celebrate my 70th birthday. We were welcomed like family and everything about the room was lovely except perhaps the floor to ceiling sash windows which were a little draughty at this time of year. We loved the availability of free chocolate, orange juice and mineral water in the fridge and the room decor was rich. The ensuite was on the small side but for a few nights it was fine.
I was lucky to get an on street parking spot but could envisage problems at busier times although one can park freely on the seafront overnight. Breakfast was served promptly to order in our room and a lovely touch was a gift and card on my birthday. Look no further if you want to be a little pampered

2 Dec 2009 ~ “A heavenly weekend” 

The hotel is beautiful and the owners are so helpful with a friendly welcome and very helpful service throughout. We stayed in the Garbo room which is very beautiful the attention to details is the theme makes it perfect for a romantic break. In fact we got engaged and had an all round amazing weekend.

1 Dec 2009 ~ “Beautiful room with excellent service” 

Arrived here on Friday night to a warm welcome. Was very impressed with the room, we were in the royal pavilion room (which has a 4 poster bed) which we booked as a treat and it exceeded our expectations. The room was comfortable, quiet and luxurious. We enjoyed a room service breakfast both mornings and it was very tasty. Would definitely stay here again

29 Nov 2009 ~ “Great Family Weekend at Excellent Hotel” 

We stayed at Brighton Pavilions for two nights early November. There were four of us - myself, my wife, our three year old son and my mother. We went to Brighton to celebrate her 60th birthday.

Brighton Pavilions had ideal accomodation for us. On the top floor we had the Family Suite, which included a seperate bedroom for the little one, and my mother was next door in the Mikado room.

The hotel is lovely and literally a minute's was to the seafront. Rooms are good quality. Ken is a excellent, charming host, and the breakfast was delicious. We almosthad the place to ourselves at the time.

It was an ideal place to celebrate a special occassion, and we particularly enjoyed an evening meal at the nearby Kemp Brasserie.

Thoroughly recommended - would stay here again without hesitation

28 Nov 2009 ~ “A lovely place for lovely nights & days” 

3 gay men on a short trip to brighton found a very nice place to stay a night in wonderful decorated and arranged rooms.
The warmth welcome of Phil and Ken told us: 'we're right here this night' :-)
In the heart of Brigthon ypu can easily go to every famous site wihin minutes per foot.

I'll come back

23 Nov 2009 ~ “Quality service with a smile” 

Very helpful owners made us feel at home. Spot on with restaurant recommendation and road directions. Fine breakfast, very efficient check in and check out.
Stylish room matched the adverts.

22 Nov 2009 ~ “Pavillions Brighton - be there or be square ” 

Room perfect, location perfect, hospitality perfect, a little pricey but we had a lovely stay.
only 1 slight imperfection - although lovely to have breakfast in the room, not so sure about your sausages and a hangover needs more that one sausage :)
thank you, we will stay with you again, just such a lovely b&b....thanks again

1 Nov 2009 ~ “An oasis of charm with guaranteed comfort and hospitality.” 

The owners of Brighton Pavilions Hotel go to considerable trouble to ensure their guests feel completely at home. Phil and Ken obviously love their work and their natural enthusiasm increases the enjoyment of staying. The rooms are beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and sumptuously appointed. Staff are discreet and you are treeted as their guest. Plenty of interesting restaurants and bars are close by or the walk into Brighton centre is about 8 minutes. Check out their website, book and you will not be disappointed.

31 Oct 2009 ~ “faultless, as usual.” 

Have stayed in many of the themed rooms all are excellent! this hotel is spotlessly clean throughout. The complementry tea & coffee, goodies in the fridge are a lovely touch. All the staff and owners are very friendly, helpful and make you feel welcome. Will use again and recommend !!!!!!!!!!

27 Oct 2009 ~ “Brilliant stay - great location, faultless service.” 

I stayed here with my girlfriend on the 10th Oct 2009 for a couple of nights. We originally booked the Camelot room, but when we arrived we were offered a free upgrade to the Titanic Suite because nobody else was using it that weekend. The Titanic room is one of the bigger ones, with a table and chairs in a bay window. Because of this, they bring your breakfast up to your room, which is a nice touch. The breakfast was excellent.

The owners were really friendly and helpful, sorting out our parking and offering lots of useful info about Brighton as soon as we arrived. There's even a selection of DVDs that you can borrow, free of charge, to watch in your room.

The hotel's about a 5 minute walk from the pier and roughly 10 minutes from The Lanes, which is where most of the restaurants are. We both really enjoyed Brighton, and if we go again, we'll definitely stay here.

26 Oct 2009 ~ “Friendly, comfortable, stylish rooms.” 

Our 3rd or 4th visit to the wonderful Brighton Pavilions in the last year. The owners are friendly and only too willing to help. The rooms have been decorated and furnished with flair. Top breakfast! Why would anyone stay at a "chain" hotel with gems around like this???? We shall return.

22 Sept 2009 ~ “Great Place to stay” 

This hotel is immaculate and a great place to stay for several days. It is quite central to the town and the sights of Brighton. We stayed in the Titanic room, which is a fair sized room and quite comfortable. The bathroom is rather small with a toilet, basin and shower, but meets a traveller's needs adequately.

Parking can be provided for with prior arrangement with the management at nominal extra charge.

We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it

13 Sept 2009 ~ “Wow! What a great Hotel” 

My wife and I were looking for a 1 night stay in Brighton for shopping and clubbing. Decided not to go to a big hotel, and found the Pavillions. Spotless hotel kept in fantastic condition by owners. Nice location less than 1/2 Mile from clubs and beach.
Will be going back again and again. Themed rooms are great. Car parking is not a problem, and owners wil sell you a pass for 24 hours for £5. Great value.
