My friend and I enjoyed a mini break for her 50th. We immediately got upgraded upon arrival. The rooms were fresh, spacious and comfortable. This hotel is situated in the heart of Brighton making eating out a pleasant experience - we were a few minutes walk from the lanes, packed with restaurants. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Property is adjacent to the beach area, we had a great view of the esplanade from our room. The check-in was great, probably the friendliest one on our 20 day trip around Europe. Room was run of the mill, bathroom could do with some modernisation together with some luxurious towels instead of the heavily used ones provided.

We stayed at Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The swimming pool was not fully usable during our stay, which was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel. Our room was booked for three guests, but it was only prepared for two. Basic items were missing and not set up correctly. Several maintenance issues were also present on arrival, including an empty handwash bottle with a broken trigger, a faulty door handle, and an iron that did not work properly. Overall, the room was not properly maintained or prepared, and the issues reported were not resolved during our stay. Very disappointing experience and not reflective of the standard expected.

There was a very rude member of staff who checked me in called “SEV” she went out of her way to make sure I couldn’t check in early even though there was plenty of rooms available, She is rude and nasty !! The hotel is nice but always very busy especially at breakfast times. Parking is difficult and VERY EXPENSIVE!

Excellent hotel that is highly recommend. We stay here probably once a year and have done now for a number of years. The location is fantastic. Pretty much opposite the pier and a couple of minutes walk into The Laines out the back of the hotel. Cracking views over the sea front from the front of the hotel. Handy car park underneath the hotel. Rooms are always good. Staff are friendly and helpful and the breakfast is excellent. Think I’d struggle to justify staying anywhere else in Brighton.

Really nice room (partial sea view with terrace). Lovely big spacious lobby bar, very pleasant place to spend some time for rainy days, but as it was glorious weather we were moments from the beach. Staff were excellent (shout out Jerome, super friendly and helpful). Maybe some chairs and a table on the terrace adjoining the room could have made that a nice place to spend some time too.

Overall a good experience for a family of 4. The price over the Bank Holiday was to be expected. PROS: -Across the street from the Brighton Pier and beach -Rooms are very basic and small, but clean -Room service was quick and helpful -Check-in was fast, and simple -Pool was clean -Poached eggs were available, and all you can eat breakfast buffet was great -Friendly and welcoming staff -Decent restaurant with kids menu -Close to city centre and many restaurants to choose from CONS: - Overpriced for what you get, but the kids wanted access to a pool, and to be close to the Pier, so we went for this option rather than an AirBNB. - Restaurant / breakfast food cooked with seed oils (rapeseed oil), so if you're ok with that then no problem - Rooms are small and basic, back room window barely opens, but assuming for security issues - Back room facing pub, back street felt like it could have been a few hundred pounds cheaper, due to noise, mosquitos and no view. - Inconsequential, but the kids noted "there's no hot tub" lol. Overall we liked the hotel, but £800+ for two nights was CRAZY expensive, but then again it was the May bank holiday heatwave week 2026, so everything during this time wasn't cheap or was fully booked. 3/4 stars overall due to VERY high price for dated, small, back street facing room.
