Hotel good shame about the breakfast

Review of Kings Hotel
3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 29 Dec 2022
The hotel is presented good with nice rooms and comfortable bed.
The biggest issue we had was with the breakfast, the orange juice glass was an a slightly bigger egg cup, the coffee was bitter and no hot milk just cold, the traditional breakfast came but it was teribble they run out of back beans and hash browns so didn't get them, the bacon was streaky not back bacon and was like leather, the sausage was a very poor grade and was chewy, the tomato was hard, the scrambled egg wasn't but a plain omelette chopped up and rubbery, the mushrooms smelt and looked terrible as they had black bits all over them and didn't smell like they should, lastly the plate was cold so any heat in the poor food is lost quickly. Needless to say we didn't eat it and made an exit feeling quite nauseated. The food and beverage manager needs replacing.

Popped in to see if they had a family room for 4 nights. horrible and rude staff so we left without booking. It seems they obviously don't need or even want the business. I suggest trying somewhere closer to town. We ended up in an Air Bnb for the days we were in Brighton for roughly the same price.

Dear Julie F,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of us.

I'm sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with us, it surprises me to hear that you encountered a rude staff upon arrival, you can see that the majority of our reviews mention how strong our costumer service is.
Nevertheless, I'm happy to hear that you were able to find a more suitable accommodation for you in Brighton.

Should you wish to give us another chance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us directly to be given a returning guest discount among some other benefits.

We visited as I wanted to see the murmuration. The hotel breakfast staff are so friendly and made us feel so welcome with our chihuahua pumpkin….we sat in the bar area to eat and our table service was above and beyond. We stayed in the family room 101 and found it lovely for size , beautiful bed and the sea view. Comfy beds and a lovely strong shower. If I was being picky…the bathroom door was hard to close and a dark unpainted part of the wall by the curtains in the main bedrooom which didn’t spoil our trip and could be easily rectified hence 5 stars
A short pleasant walk to the pier, shops etc.

Room tip: The hotel when we visited only did margarita pizza snack despite a board offering lovely sandwiches being up.

The stay was 24 - 26th November & the stay was
paid for by way of Red Letter Day Vouchers. we
paid extra for the parking & breakfasts.

The Hotel is in a great location very close to the
I360 & the beach. It has a reception & all the staff
we encountered were very professional & couldn't
have been more accommodating.

The rooms are of a good size as are the ensuite
bathrooms. The only issue was that the lift was
out of order & there are loads of stairs especially
when carrying a pram up them.

The parking although not plentiful is just a short
distance from the hotel.

The breakfast seemed great value for money &
you definitely got more than you would expect.

The fact there is a hotel bar is a bonus as is the
dog friendly policy.

A comfortable stay in a busy hotel

Room tip: the lower the better. Faulty Lift

Dear Robin H,
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review of your stay with us.

It's great to hear that you had a good stay overall.
We take pride on our customer service and our good value for money, together with our great location these are the main reasons why the guests return and stay with us again.

We understand that the lift being broken it is a big inconvenience to our guests and for that reason we tried our best to allocate everyone on a lower floor and also offered help with luggage or anything that needed to be taken to the room.

We look forward to welcoming you back in the future so please contact us directly to be given a returning guest discount among some other benefits.

Have stayed here on many occasions
Have always loved the location price parking staff and breakfast
But not this visit!
If you book with booking.com you are always given the worst room but this time it was hideous. The bathroom was bigger than the bedroom!
Very basic very cheap furniture although beds were comfortable
The lad on reception with the chipped nail varnish was very rude which was unusual for this hotel. We dealt with him a couple of times and he was very dismissive
Breakfast was as basic as they could get away with but the staff were very friendly
Also the lift was broken
Probably won’t stay again which is a shame but they are cutting costs as much as they can
Pay a bit extra and get more
