Was a lovely hotel with very helpful staff who gave a warm welcome! Hotel is a little bit of a walk from the pier but is ideal for a nice walk along the beach in the early evenings. Hotel is right by the 1-360 so if you plan on using this attraction you will only need to go a two minute walk from the hotel. Room was very clean and we were very satisfied with it, however, our view wasn't great and had a view of a massive boiler, which wasn't a big problem as we did pay for an inland view. We would recommend this hotel and would stay here again but would recommend paying the extra for a sea view.

A wonderful experience from check in to check out. Reception staff welcoming and friendly. Our room was not ready as we were early so we left our cases and went out for the afternoon. On arriving back we were given our room key and what a lovely gesture we had been upgraded in our room as it was my sisters birthday. She was also given a beautifully worded card and a drinks voucher. She really appreciated this kind gesture. The room was indeed stunning with a view out over the sea. It was bright and airy. The bathroom was modern. Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back its location was central to all the sights.

I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel by the beachfront. The location was perfect, with beautiful views and such a relaxing atmosphere. From the moment I arrived, the reception staff were so welcoming, friendly, and helpful they really set the tone for my visit. Nothing was too much trouble, and their warm approach made me feel instantly at ease. The hotel itself was lovely, clean, and comfortable, and the whole experience felt special. The food they are serving at the moment was excellent fresh, tasty, and exactly what you want during a stay by the sea. The bar staff during the day were fantastic as well: professional, attentive, and they made me feel truly appreciated as a guest. It was exactly the kind of break I was hoping for, and I left with only the best memories. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Brighton.

The room i stayed was 107 was very small, no plug sockets near the beds or heating or colling facilities in the room. Requested a heater throughout the night and an extension lead as the closest socket was quite far. The breakfast i do not eat pork so there was very limited hot option to east so i ended eating watermelon and croissant and apple juice for breakfast. The room was decent enough to stay in for the night and the location was near a few shops and opposite the road from the beach so i was able to leave the hotel to see the sunset and sunrise the next morning. Overall a great location for the beach but not keen on the faculties

The location is undeniably fantastic—right on the seafront, with easy access to everything Brighton has to offer. We stayed for two nights in a room with a balcony, which turned out to be more of a terrace and was easily the highlight of the stay. It added a sense of space that the room itself lacked; for the price, the room felt quite compact. The hotel overall feels like it’s due for a renovation. While the room was well prepared, small details—like a torn cushion—hinted at some wear and tear that could use attention. A special mention to Vito, who prepared our room with great care, their attention to detail really stood out, and the space felt spotless and welcoming thanks to them. I had a minor incident during my stay, and while it was resolved with a refund, I was disappointed by the lack of a sincere apology. Instead, I received a string of excuses, when all I was really hoping for was a moment of genuine accountability. That said, aside from that episode, the staff were warm and helpful. As a vegetarian, the English breakfast was serviceable but not memorable. The morning staff in the restaurant are extremely helpful and witty; just the sort of people one needs at the start of the day. The on-site restaurant looked promising, but with Brighton’s abundance of dining options, we chose to eat out. Overall, Mercure Beachfront has potential, especially with its prime location and friendly staff, but it’s let down by dated interiors and a missed opportunity for more thoughtful service.
