The Queens is an historic hotel but sadly, charmless. That being said, it has everything you need and most of the staff are lovely. My room (on the first floor) was very dated and needed some serious TLC however, it was very clean, had an upgraded bathroom and the view overlooking Brighton beach was absolutely fantastic! It is one of the cheaper hotels on the seafront and so I guess you get what you pay for. Don't expect 5 star quality but do expect a thoroughly nice, value for money stay.
