Friendly efficient welcome on check in. Comfortable and very clean rooms. Would have liked biscuits to go with tea and coffee! Didn’t use restaurant so can’t review that. Would return.

Extremely Disappointed – Not What You’d Expect from a Mercure Hotel I’m honestly shocked at how poor our experience was at the Mercure Brighton. We checked in late on Thursday night around 9:45pm and were initially given a room that was absolutely not up to standard. The duvet had what looked like blood stains on it, the walls were crumbling and just lazily painted over, and the carpet was heavily stained throughout. I went straight to the front desk to raise the issue, and while the staff did offer to move us to a “better room”, the new room was somehow worse. It had no window whatsoever, which meant it was boiling hot, with no air circulation at all. To make matters worse, we had pigeons cooing loudly throughout the night, making it near impossible to sleep. Then, just to top it off, the fire alarm randomly went off at 1:52am, blared for a few loud rings, and then stopped abruptly with no explanation or follow-up. It felt completely disorganised and unsafe. We paid £282 for a two-night stay, and frankly, it did not reflect the quality you’d expect for that price — especially from a hotel carrying the Mercure name. This wasn’t just a disappointing room — it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. We left feeling frustrated, uncomfortable, and completely let down. We expected so much better. I honestly wouldn’t return, and it’s made me seriously question the standard of the Mercure brand as a whole

We still managed to enjoy Brighton

The room was comfortable, but cleaning of the bathroom could have been more thorough. The communal areas are in need of some modernisation. The customer service and welcome from the reception team was extremely good.

Small and overpriced

Really small room with no air con, just a small fan. The parking charge was £25 and I was lucky to get one of about 20 available spaces. I am in Brighton for 2 days and have chosen a different hotel for day 2!

A very old hotel and dated hotel which has been renovated The staff and the breakfast were fine but if like me you are elderly and have mobility issues it is challenging. Any guests returning late cannot help but wake you because noise insulation is poor. Cannot really recommend it.

Shame about the room.

The bedroom was a little tired with one of the beds on a slope with a stained mattress cover, although it was clean. The carpet was very stained. Both rooms had steep steps up to the en suite bathroom which caused us a problem as three of us are in our 70s and one in his 80s. The reception area and bar was vey nice as were the staff. The breakfast was plentiful land well laid out. It was only the issues with the rooms that caused us to submit a low star score. The position of the hotel was great as it was a short stroll to Brightons activities.
