I have never left a review or felt the need to , but for the benefit of others I am moved to do so for this “company”. I booked this place for my elderly in- laws and they have had to return home on the day they arrived as no-one was around to meet them. They called the relevant contact numbers with no response until they were on the train home. Thankfully we weren’t charged , as they operate a bizarre service of confirming the booking with credit card (which I’ve now cancelled as a precautionary measure) and they send you a link to make payment before you arrive but looks so dodgy we figured we’d pay on arrival. Tried calling myself several times, using their WhatsApp as suggested in their emails.. no reply ... as far as I can gather they have no reception . I’d recommend staying elsewhere.

Reserved with free cancellation, they took full payment months in advanced and when I queried this they cancelled my booking. They are ignoring my repeated emails and have not refunded me! Absolutely shocking cant believe they can run a business like this scamming people out of hard earned money!wish I had looked at other reviews before I booked.

Booked hotel, cancelled immediately as got dates wrong. They debited my account, will not acknowlwdge me to refund. Ive emailed them, Facebook messaged, phoned, and used the mobile number provided. Absolutely no response on any. Luckily I work with solicitors and they will now deal with it, but please, please, please dont book with these fraudulent crooks. Its not worth the admin hassle trying to get your money back later. The irony of it all is Ive stayed before so was re booking!!!!!

Booked a room, immediately cancelled said room and even though it's well within their cancellation policy they see fit to keep my £87.50 they were happy to process. Absolutely disgusting service. They don't answer the phone, WhatsApp, email or Facebook messanger. Thankfully I work with a solicitor who is taking it on free of charge for me. I will get my money back but what if they do this all the time! Absolutely fraudsters! I'm in shock that they are still running!

Not awful but not the place to recommend or come back. Main flaw - room is really stinky. Smells of damp. We had no problems with check-in. Beds are comfy. Location is great. Overpriced for what it is.

We stayed here several years ago and had a great time and therefore had no qualms about booking again, HUGE MISTAKE! This has apparently gone through several management changes recently and has gone so far downhill it has dropped off the cliff. We couldn't get in touch with anyone on the phone with the numbers provided for the Sea Breeze or Lifestyle Hotel Group and no response from emails either. Room number and access code not provided before we set off on our travels despite being charged in full 16 days earlier than quoted on our original confirmation. On arrival, the front door was open and a sign on the internal door directed us several streets away to FAB, 9 Charlotte Street to book in. I admit to being rather short with the staff there who didn't seem to care about the stress they'd put us through. They were just getting ready to send out emails with access codes at 14.30 which I told them was totally unacceptable. As we were leaving on Sunday morning, the sign had gone and a couple staying there said when they went to FAB they denied all knowledge of the Sea Breeze. When we got in the room the carpet was filthy, holes in the curtains, the leather sofa is very distressed and the sink had huge cracks in it. The toilet needed a good clean to remove stains and we were left with 3 mini milks for the weekend! On the plus there was a working fridge although it wasn't switched on when we arrived, the bed was comfy and the bedding clean and crisp. It's in a great location just around the corner from St James Street and near the sea front. All in all, a terrible experience and we would not stay here again or recommend anyone else does if you value your sanity. Note: there seems to be another Sea Breeze in Brighton, this review is for the one at 13 Upper Rock Gardens. New Management appear to be br.bookings@smarthost.co.uk but how long that will last is anyones guess. Contact numbers 07903 003680 or 07591 411063 but good luck getting through.

Without doubt our worst ever hotel experience. We booked a room online for a same night stay. The hotel emailed confirmation but neglected to include our room number or access code (it is keyless access). The hotel did not respond to any of our further emails, calls to their mobile, calls to their landline, or calls to their alleged ‘head office’. We had not only paid for a hotel that we could not access but we were literally left with no where to stay. Thankfully we booked through a well-known third party provider (one of the major booking websites), and they issued a full refund. It is interesting to note that the hotel apparently didn’t respond to any of the third-party’s repeated attempts to make contact either! It’s easy to be wise after the event, but if you carry out your own online research about Sea Breeze, Brighton then you will find a number of others have experienced the same issue as us. Thankfully, the third-party provider has hinted at reviewing their association with this hotel to prevent others going through what we did. Terrible.

Several months ago we booked a room at the Oyo Sea Breeze for late September 2019, when we need to stay in Brighton for the Oxfam Gurkha Trail Charity Walk. We paid in full via Booking.com, received email confirmation and thought that we were all done & dusted. This week we received an email from Booking.com to say that our booking has been cancelled without any reason being given! Booking.com says that a refund is on the way from the hotel but there’s no sign of our money yet. We haven’t had any contact/apology directly from the hotel either. Even worse, we’ve now had to try and arrange alternative accommodation - due to the size of the charity event, most hotels are fully booked on that date. The only alternatives available are significantly more expensive so we’re worse off to the tune of several hundred pounds even if we do get our money back. Deeply disappointing and completely unacceptable. TripAdvisor wouldn’t let me leave a zero star review.

I booked this accommodation for August Bank Holiday weekend 2019, the day of booking I received a very odd email stating that I needed to update my CVV number from my payment card as it stated my card had become invalid since booking...very strange I thought and that if I didnt my booking would be cancelled. There was no link to follow, so I duly emailed (several times) and tried to telephone (multiple times both as soon as receiving the email and each day since) with no answer to either to clarify why. I visited my bank and was informed that there were no attempts to take payment or a holding payment. All very confusing. It is now 5 days since booking and have not heard anything further from the company and am extremely disappointed by the non-existent customer service, maybe a lucky escape.
