Location: The hotel is ideally situated on the seafront, with easy access to attractions like The Pier, Sealife Centre, and The Lanes. It's a short walk from the town center, yet quiet enough for a peaceful stay. The proximity to good restaurants and The Brighton Centre is a highlight.(based on 1 review)

The room is located on the top floor. It has a small balcony where you can enjoy the sea breeze. The room is not big and is different from the booked room type. I made a special note of the required room type before! It’s a pity that I didn’t stay in the room type I wanted this time, but the hotel is in a good location.

Convenient Hotel was only about a 10 minute walk away from The Brighton Centre which is why we stayed here. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. However, room 6 does not have a city view. It does not have any view!!!

The hotel was in a great location, right on the seafront and within a 10 minute straightforward walk to the Lanes. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and had a higher professionalism than I've encountered recently in London hotels! The room itself was spacious, clean and with a gorgeous view of the seafront and pier. I would definitely stay there again.

The staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious with air conditioning. The bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable with good quality pillows and bedding. Breakfast was great, along with the service in general! We really enjoyed our stay at Drakes.

Great place!!! Great stay and location! Thing to remember is there is no elevator/lift. It’s all stairs so if you’re on the 4th floor you have a good climb. Staff was friendly and excellent!!

Great Time We loved the Drake! It was in a great location, the room was comfortable and the staff was amazing. There is no lift so you have to be able to climb stairs.
