My stay at the Granville Hotel was a pleasant surprise. I found it more affordable compared to other options in Brighton, and the service was really good. The decor certainly had its quirks, and there were a few areas needing a bit of TLC, but overall, it was a charming experience with an unbeatable seaside view.

I recently stayed at the Granville Hotel for my wife's birthday, and overall, it was a nice experience. The Brighton Rock room we were in was beautiful, and despite the inclement weather, the atmosphere was just fantastic. The breakfast was excellent and the views were a lovely bonus. On the downside, I think some areas of the hotel could use a little updating to fully match the stunning views and charm of the decor.

I recently stayed at the Granville Hotel in Brighton, and it was quite an experience. The elegant decoration and comfort of the rooms were standout features, though I found the size of the double bed a bit small for my partner and me. The location right by the beach was fantastic, making it easy to explore the area. However, the parking situation in an NCP car park was slightly inconvenient. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with minor room for improvement.

The overall amenities were quite nice, but I did have to open windows for ventilation as the room got hot even with the heating turned off. Minor noise from nearby areas was also a distraction sometimes.

My stay at the Granville Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. While the charming decor and location near the seafront added to the experience, the discomfort of the bed and outdated room amenities were quite disappointing. I had expected better given the price I paid, particularly for breakfast.

Rooms

The room I stayed in felt outdated, with furniture and fixtures that seemed stuck in the 90s. The lack of a decent view was also a letdown, as I only looked out to walls and a car park.

The hotel really needs a refresh. From the lift to the decor, many aspects could be improved without major renovations. Additionally, the shower setup was impractical for someone with mobility issues.

My stay at the Granville Hotel was thoroughly enjoyable. from the stunning sea views to the warm hospitality of the staff.
