Hotel du Vin Brighton

I used to live in Brighton and have had my sights on this hotel for a while before I moved away so this was a perfect excuse to stay here over my birthday weekend. Staff are friendly, area is safe and quiet and surrounded by shops and restaurants and just one minute walk from the pier. Only issues I’d like to see fixed and improved are some of the amenities inside the room, such as the number of plugs/adaptors as the USB slots near my side of the bed wasn’t working, and the glass panel in the bathroom tightened as there was a gap near the bottom so water was flowing out when taking a shower which we’d had to wipe up separately; tiles around the bathtub also was browned so maybe some fixer upper would be nice. Overall would still stay here again as these were my experiences but no other complaints. Would also like to dine here soon as we only had breakfast in bed.

Well located hotel with friendly staff. We didnt eat here so are unable to give opinions on this. Bar service was excellent though. Bed very comfortable. Excellent bath and shower and loved the quirkiness of the bathroom. Lovely L'Occitane products. Very short walk to the beach and the lanes. Would 100% stay here again. We used the park and ride as parking is extortionate in Brighton. P&R much more reasonable and only a 5 minute walk to the hotel from the bus stop.

Stayed in the signature suite , probably a bit over priced considering breakfast was extra but was an amazing room. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Bar area nice but again probably a bit over priced. All in all though a nice hotel if you are willing to meet yhe costs.

Great location in the centre of town - very helpful staff - with a stylish bar. But it’s not cheap and there were some problems. Firstly no parking provision at all - no deal with any parking providers nearby - surprising for a high-end hotel. We upgraded to a deluxe room ‘The Arundel’which was quite lovely - high ceilings and spacious. Next morning there was a leak from the ceiling and we were asked to vacate to another room. This was very inconvenient as it was the morning of the wedding we were attending and got in the way of our tight schedule. The new room (the Adur) was not quite as special as our first room, although we were assured it was the same standard it was basically a low-ceilinged annexe - a bit underwhelming. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant one night with friends and again the staff were great but the food was average with a duck main course that was tough and over-salted and a pasta and crab dish that was dry and bland. But we overlooked it at the time and enjoyed the company we were with. Breakfast was good but not cheap - the Full English option was excellent - as you would hope for £25 a head. In summary - location and staff were great but Hotel Du Vin is not as top drawer as it might like to think. Leaking ceilings, disappointing replacement room, zero help with parking and an underwhelming restaurant took the gloss off what we hoped would be a first class experience. We’ll probably look elsewhere next time.

To be completely clear our stay in the hotel was very good, however the pre booked lunch in Bistro Du Vin was dreadful. Service or should I say lack of service, was appalling and the quality of the vegetarian meals was very poor

The hotel is a lovely building, very close to the sea front and town, staff were wonderful 😁

Lovely stay at a beautiful hotel. Great location. Friendly greeting at reception. Gorgeous room, just off a beautiful courtyard, where we enjoyed a couple of drinks in the sunshine, with excellent service from the bar staff, and again when we returned from our night out and had a drink in the stunning bar area. We’ve stayed at other hotels in Brighton but this will now be our go to hotel when we visit again.

The hotel is lovely throughout. Parking in nearby car park was very safe but very expensive

Personal space

Nice quick check in
