Albany Hotel

The room was very clean but there was no teaspoon for drinks and the shower only did v hot water. 1 plug socket didn't work. Saying that the staff were very friendly and helpful. They let us shower after doing park run and helped us to find parking when we got there. Book your parking in advance £15 for 24 the hours. Close to the sea a 25 min walk to Brighton or buses are a short walk away.

The toilet seat in the bathroom was not fixed on properly the floor of the bathroom was lifting there was no plug in the sink the shower is old fashioned there were dirty marks around the taps and up the walls and the toilet roll holder needed fixing to the wall . The double bed was collapsed on one side so I was higher than my husband and we kept falling together in the middle of the bed worst nights sleep ever burn marks on the dresser where the kettle was a green leather look sofa that had seen better days and none of the windows locked quite frankly we would not stay there again the best bit plenty of fans and nice soap that is all.

Can not recommend this hotel.

Staff were lovely. Room was clean and spacious. Was nice to be able to come and go whenever we pleased. Nice quiet location.

Very nice hotel, good location and lovely staff

The staff were particularly helpful and friendly from arrival to departure, helping us with several requests and questions throughout our stay. Really helpful and polite. It’s located close to the town of Hove and a short walk to the beautiful beach where we sat and enjoyed lunch. It’s an older property so don’t expect pish-button, modern technology. There were no hangers in our empty wardrobe but I’m sure the staff could’ve provided some if we’d asked. Our room was very warm and there’s obviously no air conditioning but a small fan would’ve been most welcome. Tea and coffee was provided in the room so we were grateful for that. No bath mat provided so be careful as you step out of the shower as the floor can be slippery. The rear of the property desperately needs a tidy as it looks unkempt and particularly run down, although we’d asked for a quiet room and appreciated it being located where it was. Overall, a pleasant stay in a nice area with the beach and shops nearby. Try the local butchers shop for snacks and pies, it’s absolutely lovely. It took us about 10 minutes to walk from Hove station to the hotel and not uphill at all, after which friendly, helpful staff took care of us. Thank you to each of them.

Booked a ground floor room as difficulties with stairs. Not available when i arrived. So had to struggle to 1st floor.

You get what you pay for. Albany Hotel is a budget hotel so I didn’t have high expectations. I was happy with my room and the parking which is available at the back. Very helpful staff as well.

My stay at the Albany in Brighton was okay overall, mainly thanks to the very helpful staff. However, the hotel itself is in noticeably poor condition and really needs a full refurbishment. The rooms and common areas feel tired and worn, and the overall standard doesn’t match what you’d expect today. With some investment and updates, it could be a much better experience.

Great location,.friendly staff and a very good price for the room.

Really pleasant little hotel. Massive room. Was clean & had lots of extras including toiletries. Yes it's dated, & a bit ragged around the edges, but charming none the less & good value. Reception staff were excellent. Really friendly, helpful & full of smiles. Good location for Hove shops & beach - Regular buses go from stops just a few minutes walk way to Brighton town/station/marina etc.

Staff very friendly , have stayed her a few times and have always been good experience, last

Decent hotel and fairly priced.

The bed was clean but extremely uncomfortable, the bathroom was not very clean the curtains had mould. The location is good, it’s very close to the beach, and good restaurants.

Parking was behind the hotel at £15 for 24hrs,rooms need an upgrade,but ok to sleep in,carpets in room 222 were worn,windows need desperate attention due to cracked pane and also sash cord broken,toilet bowl needs lots of lime scale attention and shower was leaking at the shower head,was reported when we checked out.

Musty smell in hall and room. No bed side lamps, no way to turn off the bathroom light, permanently on. Hair in sink plug. Fan broken. Pigeons woke me up on window ledge. Lift broken.

No parking as advertised. Staff were very casual - often sat on their phones on the sofa round the corner from the front desk. There was nowhere to hang the shower hose. It was just loose over the bath. They did fix it once I told them, but I would've expected it to have been addressed before my arrival. The windows were a bit broken and there was pigeon mess all over the sills. The view was very derelict. Overall it was ok for a place to lay my head on a work trip, but there's plenty of room for improvement. If the staff occupied their time by checking rooms/corridors for maintenance issues or cleaning rather than sitting on the somewhat dilapidated sofas in the lobby, they would do much better.

The hotel was very shabby, the carpet was damaged and shabby, the shower wasn’t clean and my shower didn’t function at all. Not great

Don’t book here unless you are happy with broken furniture, stained carpets with burn marks, curtains hanging off a single hook and not covering windows. A bathroom window in the shower/bath facing the street without frosting or efficient covering. Old bed, full of lumps and ridges, only fit for the rubbish tip, stale cigarette smoke wafting through passages and random pieces of furniture and hoover in the passages. Staff catnapping in “waiting area”

Very helpful staff. Value for money, great location.
