Queens Hotel is a central Brighton hotel with a bar on site and rooms that range from standard doubles to larger signature suites. It is the kind of mid-priced hotel that appeals to visitors who want to be close to the action without paying seafront prices, and it has a reputation among travellers for good value, particularly outside the peak summer weekends. Bedding and finishes in the signature suites are a step up from the basic rooms, and are worth considering if you are planning a special weekend. Staying in the middle of Brighton means that you can see most of the city on foot. The Lanes, with their jewellery shops, cafes and narrow alleys, are close, and the beach and the Palace Pier are within a short walk. The Royal Pavilion, the Brighton Museum and the independent shops of North Laine are all in reach too, so you can dip in and out of the hotel through the day. Evenings are easy as well, with plenty of restaurants, pubs and theatres within a short walk.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the centre, so the main sights are close enough to walk, and you rarely need a taxi except for late arrivals. Brighton station is within a reasonable walk or a short ride, and buses along the coast stop nearby. If you plan to visit the South Downs or Lewes, the bus and train links from the city make car-free day trips simple.
Rooms and what to ask for
Standard rooms are straightforward and comfortable, while the signature suites offer more space and better bedding, and these are worth the supplement for a celebration. There is a desk and an iron in rooms, which helps business travellers, and a bar downstairs for a drink at the end of the day. As with many older Brighton buildings, room sizes and layouts can vary, so read the description carefully and check when you book what is included in the rate.
Who it suits and what to know: it is a good pick for couples, friends and solo visitors who prefer to spend their money on food, shows and day trips rather than on the room. Noise from the bar and the street can reach some rooms at weekends, so ask for a quieter room or a higher floor if you are a light sleeper. Parking in central Brighton is limited and charged, so check availability with the hotel and consider a public car park, and remember that check-in generally starts in the afternoon.
