Convenient

Hotel was only about a 10 minute walk away from The Brighton Centre which is why we stayed here. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. However, room 6 does not have a city view. It does not have any view!!!

The hotel was in a great location, right on the seafront and within a 10 minute straightforward walk to the Lanes. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and had a higher professionalism than I've encountered recently in London hotels! The room itself was spacious, clean and with a gorgeous view of the seafront and pier. I would definitely stay there again.

Great place!!!

Great stay and location! Thing to remember is there is no elevator/lift. It’s all stairs so if you’re on the 4th floor you have a good climb. Staff was friendly and excellent!!

We loved the Drake! It was in a great location, the room was comfortable and the staff was amazing. There is no lift so you have to be able to climb stairs.
