Would definitely stay again
Ocean view room was tiny, but well laid out. Loved the balcony/the fact that the windows opened. Could hear the waves at night. Very peaceful. Sweet neighborhood too. No elevator though, the only downside.

Perfect location for a quick visit to Brighton.
Perfect location with a view of the sea. The room was small but really comfortable. I liked the bathtub near the windows. Shower was a wet room which I had never seen before. Nice amenities.

Comfortable and food parking
Drake's was a nice hotel with a clean, well-appointed and comfortable room. It is located on the main stand in Brighton and provides reserved parking (for a reasonable fee). This is a great benefit in that area where parking is crazy! The only issue is that many rooms are located up several steep flights of stairs and there is no lift. If you have issues with stairs, double check the location of your room!

Our stay at Drakes was great! You’re right on the beach and there is so much activity. You can walk to everything along the beach. The staff went out of their way to be friendly and hospitable. Highly recommend

The shower was a great idea but everything got wet like the loo roll and the toilet seat, the price of the room and not to have a view was disappointing but is what it is. Staff were fantastic couldn’t fault them at all! Would stay again but ask for a better view of the sea or even the city

Beautiful Views
The Hotel was in the perfect position with lots of amenities and walkable to most locations. The #1 room was so beautiful! It had a fee stair cases but easily accessible, two big windows sea view windows with comfy chairs to read by. The bedding had the best pillows and felt very decadent. Bring your hair net because the rain shower was straight overhead. Staff was excellent and bar was awesome! Will come again!

Lovely little boutique hotel. Very friendly &helpful staff. Great location for shops/restaurants/beach. No lift but fine for us.
I was charmed by the hotel's support before and after we arrived. The room was excellent. Be prepared to climb stairs, our bedroom was 62 stairs up. I will stay here again and look forward to my future visit. It feels like a family run hotel with up-market bedrooms and extras.

Noisy air conditioning, on 2 occasions it was so loud the room was unusable; staff sorted it out but being woken at 7am isn’t fun.
Room was “instagram friendly” with a bath and aged chairs in the window, but this just took a third of the room and was of no added value.

Lovely stay
Such a beautiful place to stay, with friendly, helpful staff. Being on the 4th floor with winding stairs and no lift was a challenge but burnt off a few calories!

I had such a wonderful stay at Drakes. The hotel is clean, you can control the room temperature, I didn’t hear any noise and slept through the night, the staff were all really friendly (even drawing out a map of recommended places to visit) and amazing views of the sea. It was the perfect tonic for the quiet weekend that I needed, I left feeling refreshed. I would highly recommend Drakes and hope to return soon.
