Regency Hotel - A historic city-center hotel with sea views, free Wi-Fi, and proximity to Brighton's attractions

Directly opposite Brighton's New i360 Tower, Regency Hotel is a three-star property housed in a 200-year-old building with historic grandeur. The rooms feature flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and some include four-poster beds or sea views overlooking Regency Square. Guests can access free Wi-Fi throughout the building, and several rooms offer interconnected layouts, suitable for families. Breakfast is not served on-site, but Debenhams in Churchill Square Shopping Centre provides a full British breakfast with vegetarian options. The hotel sits within walking distance of The Lanes, Royal Pavilion (1 km), and SEA LIFE Brighton (1 km). Public transport is recommended, as parking is limited and costly, though Regency Square car park is 50 meters away. The card used at booking will settle additional charges.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Many guests appreciate the Regency Hotel's prime location, finding it's just a short walk from the beach, shops, and restaurants, with some rooms boasting a fantastic view of the seafront and West Pier. The rooms are generally considered a great size, often featuring dressing tables, chairs, and convenient amenities like a fridge; some even have balconies overlooking Regency Square and the i360. While the lack of a lift and the presence of stairs in an older building can be a bit challenging for some, the overall experience is often viewed as a good value for money.

The room provided a fine view directly onto the seafront and the iconic west pier, a real treat. i particularly appreciated the convenient access to the city centre. Everything felt very close. checking in and out proved effortless, i was in and out quickly. the comfortable bed was welcome after long days.

mouldy grouting sewage smell

I encountered a few issues . The cleanliness of the bathroom was not up to par. There was significant mold in the grouting, especially in the lower half of the shower. This made the bathroom smell of sewage. There were also a lot of flies in the bathroom throughout my stay.
