Best Hotels near Little Beach Boutique, Hove

After travelling for 14hrs, my pregnant daughter and I were super excited to be staying in the hotel and were particularly looking forward to a swim in the hotels pool. We arrived early and there was an issue with our booking; seemingly it had been cancelled somehow. The staff were patient and helpful & offered us another room, the same size and price. They also let us access the room early. As we walked through the hotel we we're a bit surprised that it didn't quite match the grandeur in the photos. However, we were desperate to offload our luggage and pop into town to get some essentials. Upon entering our room we were shocked! The room was extremely outdated, dusty and the fixtures and fittings weren't in the heat of repair. We had specifically booked a sea view room, as were coastal girls and wanted to enjoy the view. The windows were filthy and our view was stilted just dirt and grime. Being coastal, we do appreciate the effects of the salt from the sea on the windows, but - this was beyond what would be reasonably expected. We decided to weather it as we were both too tired and thought things might seem brighter after a swim. Sadly, this wasn't to be. The pool - although advertised as 'heated' - was freezing and we couldn't manage very long. This was so disappointing as we had been so looking forward to using the pool and winding down. We headed back up to the room to warm up and try to make the best of the situation. Again, this didn't happen. The room was freezing, with no heating accessible to turn up. My daughter (22 weeks pregnant) had chattering teeth and it was all just too much. We packed up and headed down to the reception to check out. We'd spent less than 2 hours in the hotel! We explained the issues to reception who were, to their credit, understanding. They did offer us the use of another, upgraded room but given the state of the room we had just vacated we didn't think it worth risking another shot. We had our refund processed, thanked the staff and left. The staff, as a whole, were faultless - especially a lady who I think was relatively new to the role. The Manager assured us that the hotel is going to be undergoing a refit but that wasn't much help to us at that time. It's such a shame that the hotel is so substandard! It's a beautiful shell, fantastic location and offers such amazing views. But, our experience means we will refrain from ever visiting the hotel again, and couldn't ever recommend it. For £250 for one night it's just not ok.

The Legends hotel states that they have a bar and sub terrain night club in the basement, what they don’t state is :- a,  That the night club carries on until 4:00 am and that the ear plugs provided are ineffective. b,  That if you have a so called city view you can only see the rear of the  adjacent properties. c,  You can’t have the windows open for long because of the deafening noise coming from the air conditioning units on the lower roof and the noise from the extractor chimney are the equivalent to booking accommodation in a machine shop. d,  Empty bottles cascading into the wheelie bin through the small hours of the morning. When we complained about this we were told that staff were not supposed to empty bottles before 8:00. The last time we heard bottles was 5:30. e,  Dirty mouldy bathroom. Dust all over the radiator that dirtied the towels when placed on it.  f,  Misrepresentation of rooms size in the hotel description. Ours was definitely not the same as the one pictured. g,  Being fobbed off  by the hotel staff when we asked to see anyone of authority so we could get reimbursed, and who would only be available when we were long gone. So as you can see from our experience and since getting home and reviewing the lower scores left by previous travellers we are not the only couple to have had a less than pleasant experience at the Legends hotel

Amazing experience! James, mark and the team really went out of there way to provide a great service for us. Not only was the place itself fantastic and cosy, the location was perfect, right next to the beach and the city centre. However, what really set this place apart was the people, James, Mark and the team made us feel so welcomed. It was mine and my girlfriend’s first year anniversary and they went and sourced flowers for me from a local shop and delivered it to my room, and with a busy weekend ahead that helped me so much! Even when I cut myself at the beach I sent a message asking if they had a first aid kit and the guys dropped plasters to my room with anti-bac wipes, the service was honestly exceptional! We will definitely be coming back to Brighton, and we’re so happy that we found a great place to return to. Highly recommend 10/10!

First time in Brighton here. Lovely place but there were a few things Paskins did that made things harder than they should be. There was no issue getting in the door with the code you put in the keypad. But particularly what there was an issue with was the locks on the door of my actual room, I tried to get members of staff to aid in showing me how not to get it jammed but no matter which way I turned the key it would not unlock, mostly every time I tried to ask for them to actually get my key out my door so I could leave my hotel (because obviously I needed to leave it to explore) there was a vibe of sighing and contempt which I didn't really appreciate seeing as I was paying £130 for two nights!! I had to sometimes sleep with my key stuck in the door at night which is awkward. (Solo traveller makes it extra dodgy!) There was also no soap both nights, luckily I brought hand sanitizer because of covid, had my room cleaned too and there still was zero soap. I was looking forward to receiving the infamous 'ritzy rolls' (pastries guests apparently got) I saw on TripAdvisor prior to going but both nights I never received one, I thought originally it was because the first night I went out early for breakfast but I slept in late prior to leaving the second and I still didn't get one. It is nice decorated but having a belittling tone to paying customers will not help your business grow so next time I go back to Brighton, I will be going somewhere else!

good,,,

I checked into this establishment on a Tuesday afternoon. As I walked into the street, I thought i was a little lost since it looked like a residential cul-de sac and I couldn't see anything that resembled a hotel at first. And then I saw Q with a superscript ”2” on the wall straight ahead of me and realised that it read ”Q Squared” so I marched on up with a bit more confidence. There was a sea of taxis on the entire road in this cul-de-sac, which must be very handy for guests. It had taxi road markings so it's a dedicated taxi station, it seems. The entrance was an automatic sliding door which led to the reception area. Modern, clean and welcoming. Staff were great. I checked in. They require a deposit of £200 which does not get debited and is only reserved unless you need to pay for any damages. I was in room 3 on the ground floor. Spacious and modern. It had a shower room, not a bath. There was a kitchenette area with an electric 2 ring hob, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, saucepans and ladles, crockery and cutlery. There was no microwave. The bed was very comfortable. There was ample wardrobe space and inside the wardrobe were hangers, shelves, an ironing board and an iron. There was a seating area with a sofa and coffee table, a dining table and chairs for two, and a desk area with a TV mounted above it. Note that there is no on-site restaurant but there are several eateries in the vicinity. I walked over to Leon for a Carribbean curry takeaway and it took me no more than 3 minutes to get there. The hotel is in the centre of the vibrant town. What I liked the most about this place was the on-site gym. It happened to be just opposite my room on her ground floor. Top notch equipment with a nice solid treadmill that I ran on for half an hour :) I've put lots of photos up.

Location is just behind Brighton Railway Station, so very convenient for transport links & around a 15 to 20 minute walk to the Sea Front, I stayed one night & didn't have breakfast although it is available, It's near shops, pubs & restaurants if you take the short walk through the station!
