Verified review

6/10 Good

Overall a good stay. The staff were polite and helpful, the bed was very comfortable, and the sea-view rooms have fantastic direct views of Brighton seafront. Being right on the seafront does mean it can be quite noisy, particularly at night. The hotel itself is starting to feel tired and dated, especially the sofa and seating in our room. We were also disappointed that breakfast in the room has recently been stopped, and the lack of a fridge was noticeable during the summer heat. A pleasant stay overall, but the rooms could do with a refresh.

10/10 Exceptional

This was my second time staying at Drakes for my partners birthday. The staff were welcoming, the bed was cosy and we had a wonderful view of the sea. The bathtub in the window is such a lovely feature! The noise from the traffic woke us up in the morning as it's a busy seafront road outside, but the rest of the experience outweighed that.
