7.2/10

During my stay at Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Brighton, I experienced a blend of comfort and mediocrity. My room was spacious and beautifully decorated, featuring a large bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower, which I loved. However, I found the dining experience underwhelming, particularly the communication regarding meal inclusion. Overall, the hotel has potential with its great ambiance and location, but it needs to refine some areas to enhance the guest experience.

5.6/10

I had mixed feelings about my stay at Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Brighton. On one hand, the location is fantastic for exploring both the beach and the lanes, and the food in the Bistro was quite good. On the other hand, my room was rather disappointing; it felt cold and unclean, with several maintenance issues that needed attention. Overall, while I appreciated the elegant decor and the quality of service, I expected more from a hotel in this price range.

Rooms

My room was not only cold but also showed signs of wear, with issues like a broken heating system and dirty windows. There were paint stains on the carpet which contributed to a shabby atmosphere. This was disappointing given the hotel's claims of high-quality standards.

Service

While some staff members were friendly, like Frank at the front desk, I found the service could be inconsistent and not as attentive in resolving issues. Upon checking out, the response to my feedback felt somewhat dismissive.

Location

The hotel's location is excellent, right by the seafront and close to the lanes, making it an ideal spot to explore Brighton. However, the ambiance could use some uplifting touches to match the vibrant surroundings.

My stay at Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Brighton had its ups and downs. While the room was spacious and the shower was excellent, various aspects left much to be desired. especially given the high price tag. The quality of food and overall service did not meet my expectations from a well-regarded chain like this.

While the staff were friendly and accommodating, there were moments when the service seemed lackluster particularly in the restaurant where the atmosphere fell flat. Notably, I was hoping for better customer service from the reception during my initial room issues.

The hotel's location is convenient, just a short walk from the sea front and central to shops and dining options. However, noise from nearby revellers could be bothersome, especially at night.
