Great 1 night stay with my partner, room was a great size, clean and comfortable. Staff were polite and helpful, checking in and out was a breeze, lot of complaints regarding breakfast that I have read but the offering was good at least for our stay. If I had to make any complaints it would be the loud plumbing but honestly this didn’t bother us much. Ultimately we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again in the future.
Great location right next to the station so we could drop off our bags and head into the town. The staff were very helpful. Would recommend and stay in again.
Came over a little queer while away rang emergency services for help, that was last week ha ha. Apart from that just look after yourself always knowing your on holiday. Grin and bear it. Only here once I'm told. Couldn't fault the place, I tried but couldn't. Ps better than NHS food any day of the Milena. Keep up the good work. Pps if you don't agree don't read then.
Can’t fault it. Had dinner the night before - delicious. Breakfast in the morning was huge! Great room. Peaceful surroundings. Effortless customer service.
We had a great experience at this hotel! The welcome cookie was delicious and just what we needed after a long drive down from London. We were celebrating our anniversary, and they surprised us with some towel art and cake! The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast buffet had great variety and a beautiful view.
Only comments would be the lack of complementary water and mini-fridge the room. The AC took a while to become cold, but it got there eventually.
Overall, we had a great trip and don’t regret picking this hotel!
I like the decoration of the room. You can even take a shower without closing the door and see the sea directly🤣
The room is small and clean. The bathroom walls are of high quality. There is no elevator. Be careful if your suitcase is heavy🤫
Just everything about Deans Place is outstanding, the hotel, the staff, the location and the breakfast is just off the chart fantastic, highly recommend a stay and a walk around this beautiful village.
The Leonardo Waterfront was the perfect choice for meeting family in Brighton. We felt relaxed immediately - the staff are friendly and helpful, and the foyer (despite being huge and open plan) has lots of cosy areas for a drink or meal.
The rooms were spacious, very well-equipped and clean - one with a great sea view and the other with an internal window overlooking the foyer, which sounds unusual and potentially dark, but was actually lovely and, due to the glass ceiling, not oppressive at all. We had everything we needed; large comfy bed, good shower, fancy coffee, a fridge, a guide book to Brighton and complimentary water.
The location is great too. The main entrance is on seafront, close to the pier, and the rear doors lead straight to the Lanes, with lots of lovely shops, bars and restaurants within metres. The gym, pool, steam room and sauna were nice to use as well - like the rest of the hotel, clean and well-looked after with attentive staff. The only minor issue was that our key card disconnected a few times despite keeping it away from phone and electronics. It wasn’t too bad having to go to Reception to have it reset from the first floor, but might’ve been annoying from a room the fourth floor! Everything else more than made up for that though - thank you to all the staff for a fantastic stay!
We decided to stay at The Grand as a 3 night getaway as my partner is currently pregnant. The service from arrival to departure was first rate, and the hotel was beautiful.
Our room (which we upgraded to have a sea view) was newly renovated, with a free standing bath, sofa, coffee table and two tub chairs. The bathroom included a spacious shower and his/her sinks.
Everything was spotless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
PS: All the mess in the photo was ours...!
Beautiful hotel with spacious modern rooms, and huge grounds to explore, as well as a great spa and pool next door.
Bannatyne's is a truly lovely resort in a great location, with amazing staff.

GGuest UserThe outside of the hotel is very scruffy, but this is because it is in the process of being refurbished. The rooms themselves were excellent, clean , modern (although the see through toilet door is a bit kinky in room 4.)
Although being warned of the step inside the passageway to room 4 my wife tripped up it and the light needs improving or warning tape put on the step.
We had to bring the date forward of our visit due to the impending death of a near relative and was very disappointed in having to pay a surcharge of £48.00 per room for the convenience of doing this although we believe the hotel did not have any reservations for these rooms, so could have waived the surcharge.
We did not have occasion to eat at the hotel excepting for breakfast which was excellent.

GGuest UserEverything was very beautiful, very cozy attention to detailing very tasteful decor. The receptionist was an absolute sweetheart with us. Location is good. Breakfast was ok. Comes with slippers and a bathrobe , although one of our bathrobes were dirty inside with toothpaste. The facilities need here and there an update, it was very windy outside and the windows let through a lot of cold. There’s some tiles on the bathroom floor fallen and for the price it was one would expect it being properly cleaned specially the toilet around mirrors and windows
TTaroSuper cute hotel, only minutes away from the beach. Quiet place slightly further out from the busy bars but close enough to walk. Lovely staff really chatty and helpful. Offered places to go and visit. We would highly recommend it and Would be more than happy to go back again
