Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Doubletree By Hilton Brighton Metropole enjoys a fantastic location right on the seafront, convenient for exploring nearby restaurants and shops, and just a minute away from the Brighton Centre. Many guests appreciate the spacious and comfortable rooms, with some offering lovely sea views. The pool and spa facilities, including a jacuzzi, are also a plus; however, some guests have noted that the soundproofing could be improved and sometimes the windows might let a draft in.

good selectionfriendly staffconvenient locationstiff taplimited cupboardno water

i enjoyed the breakfast. there was a very good selection available. the location was also very convenient, near many restaurants. the staff was really helpful and friendly .

the tap in the bathroom was quite stiff. i found it difficult to use. the cupboard in the room did not open fully because it was too close to the bed. i was surprised there wasn't even a bottle of water provided in the room when i arrived.

Uneven Experience with Overpromised Service

impersonal check-inwindow cracks

The check-in was strangely impersonal. i received minimal information, like breakfast hours or basic amenities available. the receptionist seemed more interested in pushing an upgrade than providing helpful details, disappointing. also, the room had some maintenance issues. There were cracks in the windows stuffed with napkins. i guess they were trying to keep the wind out, but it just felt cheap.
