Hotel du Vin Brighton in Brighton and Hove

Friendly staff, lovely quiet rooms

Went for cocktails. Always a civilised retreat from the Brighton bustle.

Fantastic place to stay, wonderful staff and great location.

I have not used the rooms so I cannot comment. The restaurant is lovely and the food was very nice. A good choice of the standard menu or they have a specials which is what I opted for. Not cheap but worth the extra £. Good service and well run. Worth a look especially if on foot and visitimg Brighton.

It is a hotel. I did indeed have some wine.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel du Vin in Brighton, and it was truly a fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the ambiance and charm of the hotel were evident, making it a perfect choice for a relaxing getaway. The room itself was beautifully appointed, blending modern comforts with classic elegance. The highlight for me was the bathroom, which was not only stylishly designed but also offered excellent water pressure—a small detail that can make a big difference after a day of exploring the city. What truly stood out, however, was the quality of sleep I had during my stay. The mattress was absolutely top-notch, providing one of the best nights' sleep I’ve had in ages. I often struggle to sleep well in hotels, but the comfort here was exceptional—definitely a 10/10. The staff at Hotel du Vin Brighton were another standout feature. Everyone was friendly, approachable, and went out of their way to be helpful, ensuring that my stay was as comfortable as possible. Additionally, the hotel's 24-hour bar, offered a great selection of drinks and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to unwind at any time of day or night. Overall, Hotel du Vin Brighton exceeded my expectations. It’s a wonderful blend of comfort, style, and attention to detail, complemented by excellent staff and amenities. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again on my next visit to Brighton. Highly recommended!

Richard and I stayed at the Brighton Hotel du Vin earlier in the week, and also held our small wedding there. The staff were incredible and couldn’t do enough to help us, and accommodate last minute requests. Agatha was incredible! The reception staff were so kind and the whole team behind them were just brilliant. The hotel rooms and locations was great as was the food, but the staff really made the whole experience exceptional and memorable Thank YOU!

Cannot comment on the rooms, but I recommend that if you are in the area, you call into the excellent bar. Roomy, well decorated, and comfortable. Bar staff are super attentive, serve excellent cocktails, and non alcohol 🍸 ones. Toby's level of knowledge on wines 🍷is outstanding. Thank you for looking after us. I believe you food also comes highly recommended so I will be back for dinner.

Stayed here and received extremely bad food poisoning from chicken room service dish. I was immobile for 12hours plus, during this time I was interviewed by staff where it felt like they were trying to find any blame that wasn’t on them for me being ill. We received no compensation at all, even had to pay full price to extend our stay 1 day as I physically couldn’t leave the room. Will never return to this or any other in this chain, incredible bad service and excellent.

Personally I had higher expectations

I was disappointed with the day time weekend reception staff. They are rude and do not fit with a hotel that is meant to be premier. When I checked a different reception staff member had said we could check out at 1 but she seemed flustered, so to be safe I checked with the weekend staff. When I walked up they exuded judgement and then very angrily said only 12 check out was included, when I explained their colleague had said it was fine they responded again angrily well that will cost you £20 more. After spending approximately £1200 for the suite for two days I would have a. Expected better treatment than rude staff, and b. Later check out if the rooms free! The hotel was also very badly maintained with scuffed walls, shabby chairs, generally lots of the furniture, paint or fixtures look tired. Service at the bar was also not great. Lots of staff but when I went to the bar to order a glass of wine, the bar tender told me to go sit and someone would come take my order, after waiting 25 mins I gave up and went to another bar outside the hotel. I used to come to the bar because I lived close by and the service used to be top notch. I feel like the hotel has massively declined and as a result, the restaurant was empty on Friday night and it seems like the hotel has less people generally. My one star is owing to rude or bad service expecting more from a hotel that should be exceptional. Where we would have perhaps returned because we loved the room, now I am not sure we will.

Fantastic hotel right by the front and a short walk from the train station, the hotel is fantastic inside and quite quirky in the layout with it being an old building. Some of the finishes could be better as the room I stayed in (WJ King) one of the skirting boards in the bathroom wasn’t painted. Other than that the room was lovely and very comfortable, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a great selection of continental and you had a hot menu to choose from so well worth adding onto your stay. Will be looking forward to visiting again.

Fantastic hotel and conference venue, we used the venue for our event today and received exceptional service and food/catering. Mo ensured that everything ran smoothly and we would not hesitate to recommend Hotel Du Vin Brighton for events and rooms in a superb location.

We had an okay stay at Hotel du Vin, but I’m not sure I would come back. The reception was warm and they were able to get us into our room early, which was nice as we had just arrived in from an overnight flight. However the room’s air conditioning system was broken and the staff had placed a fan in our room to compensate. Unfortunately the room got rather stuffy since the only windows were small and only opened part way. The bed was also rock hard, and the pillows paper thin. We had a drink in the bar, and service was awkwardly slow. The bartender told me he would come to our table to get my order, but then served three other guests before coming to me.

Room disappointing despite being given a complimentary upgrade on arrival. Room smelt damp probably the bath in the bedroom where the carpet seems to be wet! But can't fault the bar staff, all super efficient, friendly & on the ball. Would definitely return for drinks, not sure we'd opt to choose as an overnighter. Although there was a party & we didn't hear anything from our room!

The location is phenomenal, the food is very good and the service was impeccable. Also they are super dog friendly (at an extra cost). The let down was the room - it just looked tired. Marks on the wall and skirting boards, mould in the shower (which was fixed promptly thanks to the lovely person at reception), and tired carpet. The bathroom was very nice but the bedroom? Meh. So I would stay here again but a bit of investment in the rooms would be welcome.

Great place for wedding receptions

Hotel du Vin Brighton offers a delightful escape from the vibrant chaos of Brighton, nestled in a prime location near the beach. The ambiance is charming, with a lovely bar perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. It's a little haven of tranquility amidst the excitement of the city. Overall, a delightful stay.

The hotel’s bar is my favourite in bar in Brighton. The wine selection is fantastic and the service is great.

Had an absolutely wonderful long weekend break. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Couldn't fault the experience. Wasn't our first and certainly not our last stay here

Kimberley in the restaurant was amazing ! Toby the barman made the best pinacolada's & cocktails lovely staff ...the reception staff were fabulous (Spanish guy & the women with dark hair) We had the best food and service . .we are planning another stay before we've even left, it's that good !!! 100%

Friendly, helpful and comfortable what more can you ask for

I would give 5 stars but restaurant needs to cater for gluten free more give more variety of alternatives, you cater for vegan which is a choice not so much gluten free which isn't a choice! The waiter though was attentive and worked a solution for my wife, because of him you have got 4 stars first intial maitre d front of house wasn't so helpfull!!

Poor service during the meal in the restaurant area with the chef not understanding customer service/satisfaction but the staff in the bar area was fantastic

We organised our annual scuba diving pros night out here and the service we received from Lola was absolutely incredible. Nothing was to much trouble. The food was great. I only wish I had ordered the vegan black pudding as that looked phenomenal good although the chicken parfait was good. I really think that only mentioning Lola once is not enough so Lola thank you so much for making our evening special.

Quirky hotel with a really nice and unique room. What has let this down is the service was not what I would expect from a £300 room. We had to pay £30 extra when we got there for a roll up camp bed despite our daughter being on the booking. The mattress was paper thin, and our daughter, who is a great sleeper, was up all night. The least we would’ve expected was that £30 to be refunded but no. Breakfast ok. Overpriced experience overall.

This is a rating of the restaurant. We had a group dinner here and it was pleasant. The food was delicious, although the service was a bit tardy. Otherwise all good.

Went for Mother's day. Absolutely fantastic Couldn't eat all the meat due to one of the best Buffet starters I've eaten. Asked one of the waitresses "Roberta" for a tissue to wrap it up for a treat for my Dog came out with a carton and small bag straight away. She Absolutely made my day. Staff were all fantastic. Brilliant Day out Made all the better with my Visit to the Hotel du Van. Thanks to all the Staff You made Mother's day Special. ❤️

Great for an overnight stay. Excellent staff.
