Stayed for 1 night for a break away just before Christmas.
Unfortunately it did not live up at all to expectation.
There was no information in the room regarding breakfast times and was not told at check in.
The main issue for the 1 star review was there was no hot water in the evening. When booking a break away we always look forward to a nice relaxing bath before bed.
We tried the hot water and was barley Luke warm, we though we would wait an hour and try again. Still no hot water. We then called down to reception who advised they would get someone to look into it. Another hour later we still

Having stayed in many 5 star hotels worldwide The Grand wasn't quite as expected. Our first room was extremely disappointing. Although one of the lower budget rooms we would still expect a basic standard of cleanliness. It was awful. However on contacting the Duty Manager he swiftly moved us to an upgraded room which was much better and had a sea view rather than a brick wall! And that is how our stay continued re the staff - they were fab - most definitely 5 star all the way. Friendly, efficient and professional. Unfortunately its a bit of a tired old building and housekeeping not quite right

Absolutely wonderful. We stayed 2 nights and they treated us all like royalty and our children too. Large 7th floor room with full frontal sea views. The Victoria restaurant was very special, as was breakfast. The Victoria bar was absolutely fantastic with wonderful cocktails. The staircase is amazing as is all the period decor. Opened in 1864 the Grand has a very interesting history. Wear your best clothes to fully complete the experience.

So far the best afternoon tea I had. Booked it as an experience for a friend that came to visit England. It didn't state on the website but once I booked I noticed I will only have 1h30 for the afternoon tea which seemed a bit short. I wrote and asked if it's possible to change it and they replied fast and accommodated to our needs. I appreciate that greatly as it meant we could enjoy the tea in peace without stressing about the time. The service was amazing and the room/lounge was very gorgeous. Definitely would recommend. Also the scones were top notch!

What a great name than the Grand Brighton, but that that grand at the end.
The room was nice but way more tinier than expected, No sea view, which is such a pity in such an hotel. Historical place because of Thatcher obviously, I love the fact that the place is very old and rooms are typically made to remind you that it's an old building, but with a really high standing.
About that, I didn't had the chance to experiment the breakfast because I've had to leave the hotel quickly, but I was not really blown away by the bedroom. It was a bit moist, when you have a shower, you can feel

Really great value for the price. For just over $100 USD we stayed in a lovely decently sized room with breakfast for 2. The location is central, maybe a 15 min walk from the train station, and the breakfast buffet was really great! Everything you could ask for including traditional English breakfast foods, pastries, fruits, yogurt, cereals, and more with fresh ingredients. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Brighton.

When I decided to attend a writer's workshop in Brighton, England, I wanted to stay at The Grand Brighton Hotel. I'm a fan of interesting architecture and Victorian furnishings, and the hotel is right on the sea--my favorite place to be. But by the time I got around to making my reservation, they didn't have a complete week available, so I had to stay elsewhere.
Instead, I opted to have Afternoon Tea on the terrace after I arrived. I gathered from the advertising that the terrace was either open or looked out on the ocean. Neither was the case. It was in the front of the

I have bit of mixed emotions our our stay in there. The room was really nice with gorgeous view but after paying over £1000 for 3 nights the whole experience wasn't as luxury as we've expected to be.
1. The room wasn't ready at check in time...we had to wait for over 30 min at the bar and we weren't even offered a complimentary drink
2. The bathroom ventilating system didn't work...causing any smell to linger there for hours
3. The bathroom curtain had a badly washed off big blood stain on it
4. There was an used diaper on our terrace (tbh i can understand that the cleaning

I've been to a couple of fantastic wedding receptions here and in the summer, we always pop in for a drink as they make the most amazing champagne cocktails. They're not cheap as you can imagine but if your feeling quite fluch and fancy treating yourself, its worth every penny. The surroundings are fantastic - really comfortable and the atmosphere makes you forget that in actual fact, you are completely skint!
If you go in on a Saturday, try and get there for around 4pm as they usually have a guy playing old Gershwin songs on the grand piano in the bar. Brilliant!

Stayed on as disscounted cheapie night deal. Room fine, no probs whatsoever.....indeed was very nice. The great british classics (Food) in the restaurant was one of the most, perhaps the most, boring dining expierience i have had for some time. Don't get me wrong, actually i have no problem with a prawn cocktail and a grilled steak.....done well, done very well. Actually is was very average indeed with the main course alone costing circa £50 inc the additonal (Addtional cost) of veg and potatoes. Not whinging about the price either. Average boring food, served in a boring environment by boring

The Grand dominates Brighton Seafront, its big, it has flags, you can see it even if you stand on the very last plank of Brighton Pier. Stylistically the Grand is a cross between a palace and a british suburban conservatory. On the one hand it has big ceilings, big stairs, big hallways and a gaping view down the middle of it all that will turn your stomach, on the other hand it has the colour scheme of an unfashionable member of the royal family, a strange ensemble of over-sized vases dotted around the arcade-esque frontage and picture frames that are not quite the right size for the walls.

Cards on the table...I haven't stayed here. I have however had a drink in the bar and it is on that basis that I am writing a review- to encourage all those looking for a nice place, even a special place to have a drink to try out The Grand. It's the right place for certain occasions- particularly if you are celebrating or treating yourself but want somewhere more mature, more...well..grand. The lobby is lovely with high ceilings, ornate architectural details and the requisite plush feeling. The bar on the left from the lobby has several rooms- one with a fleet of elaborate sofas to sink

What can you say about the Grand? It's just heaven!
Fantastic service, great cocktails at incredibly reasonable pub not hotel prices, and fabulous food. The breakfast buffet is absolutely amazing, offering everything you could possibly wish for, and if you do think of something else just ask and it will appear.
The dinner, bed and breakfast package is perfect because the food you get in the restaurant is top notch, and for one night at least why leave the hotel?!
Make sure you get a room at the front with sea views, glorious to wake up to in the morning. The deluxe rooms with huge

The Grand is a real institution in Brighton; fantastic location on the seafront, very interesting history, especially the past 20 years and beautiful building.
There are some better managed, better value hotels in Brighton, but it is quite special to stay there even though the interior is a bit faded and the staff can be fairly un-attentive. Try to get room or a suite with a sea view - those are really special. Skip the restaurant though, there is no real reason to eat there.
