The Grand is an iconic hotel with lots of character, but is now looking a little tired in places…chipped paint, thick layers of paint, dented wood / door frames, worn carpets (in high traffic areas), dated bathrooms..etc, hence there is a multi million pound refurbishment plan in place…to bring it back into the spotlight as the top hotel in Brighton. But the rooms are of good size, huge beds, everything is of good quality and the staff are excellent, from the very curtious door staff to the breakfast crew. We have been coming here for years and particularly like the atmosphere at Christmas, with the enormous Christmas tree and decorated spiral bannister…

Sorry to say but the grand Brighton on its website announces to be a five star hotel but in reality it’s three star - services wise , facilities wise, dining options inside the hotel wise and most importantly staff wise . The biggest reason why the grand Brighton lost its value in my opinion was the staff ; specifically the staff in the bar. They seem not to be happy working there as they come with an attitude and no idea of basics of hospitality. We found them abrupt and not pleasant personalities. One lady bar waitress on 1st December 2024 ( Sunday evening ) even said to me that the chef is generally angry when all I asked her a simple toasted club sandwich with egg in it ( club sandwich was in the menu by the way ) Even if it’s not in the menu I would expect a ‘ 5 star !!!’ Hotel to get me a boiled egg in a sandwich when they have seems like a high end restaurant operating there too . This is the first time I have heard something in my life that a hotel can’t do boiled egg in a club sandwich !!!!! When asked the waitress at the bar said to me that the chef is generally angry Before we checked in - a week in advance we sent a email to the hotel requesting for some specific food ( nothing special - just mixed fried rice and wedge potatoes ) to be cooked on evenings for our dinners . I never heard from them and when I asked about the email I was told that they never recieved it . The hotel has torn carpets with marks on them and patched with tapes on stairs , etc etc

Wonderful one night stay!
Booked a 1 night stay as a treat for my husband's special birthday. We weren't disappointed. Warm welcome from reception. We arrived earlier than the check-in time and were given our keys straight away as our room was ready. Free upgrade to a suite with sea view. Free bubbly placed in our room with chocolates. Fabulous breakfast. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Some reviews criticised the communal areas stating they needed refurbishment, but it wasn't that bad. I am surprised it holds a 5 star status though. More a 4 star. The new refurb rooms look nice and fresh, but I didnt like the colour scheme - quite bland for the period of the property. Some nice rich coloured soft furnishing would make the rooms look more oppulent. But that's personal state I guess.
