Enjoyed our brief stay, it was convenient gave us access to good restaurants, a pleasant walk along the sea front. Convenient also for our meeting the next day.
The staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious with air conditioning. The bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable with good quality pillows and bedding. Breakfast was great, along with the service in general! We really enjoyed our stay at Drakes.
Great stay and location!
Thing to remember is there is no elevator/lift. It’s all stairs so if you’re on the 4th floor you have a good climb.
Staff was friendly and excellent!!
Hotel was only about a 10 minute walk away from The Brighton Centre which is why we stayed here. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. However, room 6 does not have a city view. It does not have any view!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Love Drakes. The rooms are staring to look a little tired, but the staff are always a complete delight, and I’d never want to stay anywhere else
We loved the Drake! It was in a great location, the room was comfortable and the staff was amazing. There is no lift so you have to be able to climb stairs.
Perfect location on the seafront close to The Pier, Sealife centre and the lanes, great room and the team were lovely and really helpful.
Parking on a first come, first served basis which we were lucky to arrive on a fairly quiet weekend
This is my third time at the Drakes hotel and it keeps getting better and better. The rooms are gorgeous and the staff is amazing. But the main reason i love this place so much is the attention to detail: comfortable beds, home made shortbread in the rooms, the toiletries are exceptional quality and each room has its own personality.
