Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Brighton. I booked a sea view room and asked specifically for a room where the bed wasn't up against the wall so there was room on both sides. That is exactly what we got and I enjoyed the view every single day. Looking right out at the pier. No noise issues whatsoever even though our room was on the road side and had the window open all night and the bar was open until 3am. Check in and out was super easy and efficient and the location of the hotel was perfect for the pier and ideal for walking to the Lanes and local restaurants (about 15 mins). I adored the style of the room and especially the shower with an overhead shower head. Super clean and very stylish. Can't fault the hotel at all. Breakfast slightly pricey but very good quality fry up so worth at least one try. Parking is the only thing we struggled with as Brighton isn't great for leaving your car for a long stay. The hotel offers parking permits for the streets around the hotel but only if you can actually find a space (if early morning it should be doable). £12 for 24 hours but I'd suggest maybe parking part time at the pier parking area along the beach front. Can pay via app and track it better and its often cheaper. Worth planning parking before you get there though.
We would 100% go back to this hotel if we revisit Brighton again.

A lovely warm welcoming hotel in in the lovely part of Brighton on the seafront with easy transport links by taxi or the number one 12 to 12A or the number 27 bus which drops you off just outside the hotel with a few metre walk to the hotel front steps there is a lovely terrace area which is spotlessly clean the staff of very expensive and the drinks keep on flowing. We paid £60 for a back room which was spotless but I don't think I would have paid the usual asking price of £110 just because there is not a view to see.
Breakfast is £10.50 with a great selection of products tea coffee toast cooked breakfast or a toasted sandwich. I would have liked to see a option just for a sandwich song you didn't have to pay for the whole £10.50 just for a sandwich.
If you can get the hotel at a perfect price it is great but other than that have a great time

We appreciate your kind words and loyal custom.

Guests can choose from our City view rooms over the historic roofs tops of Kemp Town or seaward facing. As ever with hotel accommodation, we operate in the most transparent of markets with our pricing being governed by supply and demand.

Parking: Hotel was easy to find right on the seafront, parking was a nightmare, as was the main road. We got there around 10:45-11:00 and it was already bedlam, and didn’t change much until late evening , but we were aware of this beforehand from previous reviews, but did manage to find a space after we drove round the streets a few times luckily. It was £11 a day parking on New Steine which was a 2 minute walk to the hotel, and could pay by phone/App to extend it if needed and could stay for 2 weeks so more than enough for a short stay.
Check in: Check in was fine, got given all the information we needed about the hotel with no problems and was given complimentary tea and coffee given to us to take up to the room which was individually packaged so fresh for each stay/person rather than restocking the room.
Room: We were in room 401, which was on the fourth floor and had a partial sea view and of the terrace on the building next door, but I did like the view as was able to see the sea and pier as requested. Was quite a small room, but was clean which in my view is the most important thing certainly in the current climate! It had a Kettle, iron & ironing board, mugs and some plastic cups in the room which we liked as my partner was able to iron his shirts before we went out. Shower was lovely as was a rainfall style shower, however the temp did take a bit of time to warm up sometimes and kept fluctuating hotter and colder slightly while it was on, particularly in the mornings I found. TV was located on sidewall of room, good choice of channels and radio channels, which we used more when in the room as due to the weather the TV kept dropping in and out. We slept well the first night and the bed was very comfy, but didn't sleep very well on the second night. With it being a Friday night, could hear people from the street particularly at closing time from the bar downstairs and others passing the hotel talking and shouting having got back to the room at around 1 or 2 am ourselves, which we understand you get anywhere but as the window was only a single pane old sash window, it was like it was open as could hear everything from the street and as it was particularly windy it was howling through. Also there was a large gap underneath the door to the hallway so caused the door to rattle in the wind and we had to block the gap with towels and prop suitcase against the door to block the light out to try stop the rattling and managed to get some sleep when the wind died down a bit. Location: Was a great location, central to everything being no more than 15 minute walk either side and being right on seafront so was perfect for us. Not too far either if going by train to save the mentioned hassles of parking which isn’t the hotels fault.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again, and hopefully try the bar next time as didn’t get chance to. Thanks Legends hotel.

Thank you for visiting us from Shropshire and for this detailed review. Naturally we were delighted to read you will be back. The weather over the last few days has been blustery and being on the seafront, the hotel is very much in the front line but balanced against some magnificent views

On first appearance this hotel seems good. The staff were friendly and the bar area is always busy. However, our room was so small, we only stayed for a weekend so didn’t have a lot of stuff but we were falling over our suitcases and each others things the whole time because it was just too small. Also, the room didn’t look like the pictures so we were disappointed! My main concern was with the cleanliness of the room, as everyone is focusing on making sure everything is clean and disinfected for Covid I was really disappointed to see dusty surfaces and around the sink in the bathroom wasn’t clean. You could tell the room had been cleaned very quickly (i.e. beds changed) but the main things people touch hadn’t been cleaned. The location is okay, almost across from the pier and 10 minutes walk from the lanes. If I was to visit Brighton again I would try to stay closer to the lanes as I preferred that area but that’s just personal opinion. Parking in the whole of Brighton is a nightmare but the hotel do have permits for £12 a night if you can find on street parking nearby which is a reasonable price for Brighton.

We were sorry to read this review, more so given our strong focus on ensuring a clean, safe and compliant hotel. Regrettably we cannot discern which guest/room from this critique but hopefully we can reach out through the good offices of Trip Advisor I hope we are clear about our different room types; offering cosy accommodation up to our lovely superior rooms. Again once we have identified the room in question we can comment more fully. It is not clear if the concerns detailed here were raised with Reception which would have allowed swift action to be taken

Great hotel! Legends is in a brilliant location, literally a few mins walk from the beach. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Legends breakfast is definitely good value for money, and it was lovely to have breakfast outside with a beautiful view of the beach. Room was small but very clean and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We were also a bit worried about parking, but there was lots of street parking available for a reasonable price. Would definitely come back!

Booked a standard single room, turns out to be a disabled access room, the basin is very Small and low, has no hot water plumbed in, making it difficult to wet shave or even in these Covid times, no hot water to wash your hands Properly!! No mirror above either making it difficult to shave and put contacts in. Wet room, so bring your flip flops unless you enjoy paddling when you go to the toilet. The room was cold and I couldn’t turn the radiator on. I’m writing this at 2.15 as I am still awake due to some building work being done on the floor below, drilling and banging etc. That is loud enough to prevent me from sleeping. Eventually Managed to get some sleep....until just before 7.00 when the drilling started again along with doors slamming, worst nights sleep ever in a hotel.
Breakfast was not worth the money, even at the reduced cost of £10 when booked in advance, bacon, eggs and mushrooms like rubber, hash brown swimming in oil and everything so hot, I believe it must have been re-heated in a microwave, I’ve never burnt my mouth on a mushroom before. Sorry guys, not sure why my stay was so different from all your 5 star reviews, I’m extremely disappointed 🙁

This is a clearly upsetting review and we were truly sorry to learn you had such an underwhelming experience. Whilst all our standard single rooms were booked - which included the accessible room you were allocated [much larger than the rest] it is not clear if you let Reception know of your concerns once you had seen the room. They would have done their level best to see what other options may have existed Chef is equally disappointed, especially as no microwaves. Again it is unclear if you let your server know you were not happy with the quality - the kitchen was not busy so we could easily have presented a new platter and in so doing avoided your leaving the venue feeling even more disgruntled

Stayed at Legends Hotel for 2 nights. We were staying in Junior Suite Room 308, which is a beautiful large room with a huge bed and fantastic view overlooking the sea and Pier. Legends is a very popular bar and we struggled to find a table on the front terrace to enjoy a drink in the sun. The Hotel provides parking permits, simply find a space anywhere in C Zone and then purchase a ticket from reception. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the Hotel. There is a very varied breakfast menu which includes, Eggs Benedict, Eggs Florentine, and Eggs Royale which we enjoyed on the first morning. All the staff are very friendly and chatty ensuring you enjoy your stay. The Hotel is very popular well into the early hours and was open until 3am both nights we were there. On our final night, we enjoyed a nightcap in the Hotel club located underneath the main bar. We could not find any fault with Legends and would happily stay there again if in the area.

Recently stayed overnight at the Legends Hotel in Brighton and already I can’t wait to come back and visit again! Check in/out was simple, breakfast the next morning was amazing. For anyone wondering, the hotel offers discounted parking at £10 for 24hrs. Just pop into the hotel before parking (my partner stayed in the car outside) and pay for the permit at reception. This permit allows you to park in Zone C and finding a space wasn’t too hard.
Our room was cosy and had everything we needed. One thing to note is that the floor boards are at times very creaky, but this didn’t really bother us too much! Staff were so friendly and the overall hotel vibe was chilled and relaxing. I would 100% recommend, especially if you’re LGBTQ+. Also worth mentioning that this hotel is in a great location too... right by the sea front and close to every thing you need. If you’re looking for a bite to eat for dinner I’d recommend the Charles Street Tap just down the road. Can’t wait to visit Brighton again soon!

We recently stayed at this hotel when we travelled to Brighton for a theatre trip. It was easy to find. We paid for the parking permit. After a simple check in we wandered off to the lanes area and some shopping. Our room 208 was massive with excellent sea views. We had a bath and a shower in the en-suite. The bed was comfortable and the decor in good condition. There was a tv we could watch from our bed and a fridge, with biscuits, tea and coffee options etc. Breakfast was included in the price and it was freshly cooked. We had a full English and there were gluten-free options for my husband. The breakfast choice was really good and service was quick. All the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. Mel on reception was so lovely. I recommend this hotel enough. It was in a fantastic location, walking distance to the shops, beautiful sea views, good food for an amazing price. Will definitely return.

Yes there is a lift - not a massive one but there is one.
There are also a few steps to reception (side door access) so you may want to check with the hotel if there is suitable access for you there too.
If you do go, I hope you enjoy your stay, we loved it there!
Not sure about twin rooms, but would definitely recommend this hotel, fantastic friendly atmosphere, lovely staff, great breakfast. Right in the best seafront location

Outside only - as I recall the outside seats/patio area is closed after midnight. You can still go out there in the middle of the night and smoke but don't expect seats/patio heaters .
There are more places to choose from in the Brighton area.
