I drove straight from work & arrived with my casual clothes on & felt a bit self conscious arriving at such a nice location.

From the moment we arrived we were treated wonderfully.

As always the staff were welcoming and helpful whisking the car away on arrival and ferrying the cases to our generously proportioned  room.

From our arrival and being met by Chris, to our wonderful Italian Receptionist, Michael in the Dining room, the team in the bar and breakfast room.

From the moment we arrived to the time we left three days later we were looked after superbly.

Made to feel very welcome upon arrival, staff very friendly and professional.

I had 25 people arriving for a birthday cocktail next day.

We actually left feeling more tired than we arrived after being woken up by a dog barking early in the morning and again at night at 10.50pm.

Conciege we’re welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us on arrival and departure.

Check in was basic and not especially friendly.

It’s certainly is the grand it’s truly outstanding from arrival to departure 
We were looked after very well the staff went over and beyond to make sure a state at the grand was a grand state indeed and it certainly was
A truly grand experience
A very big thank you to all the staff who went the extra mile to make our return to the grand a marvellous one !!! !

This was our first stay as a couple at the grand and everything was exceptional from the moment we arrived, highly recommended for families and couples to stay in Brighton.

The staff greeting your arrival, parking your car and helping with luggage were on hand at all times and nothing seemed to be too much trouble … excellent.

One of the party had a disability and on arrival the greeting concierge was extremely helpful guiding us to free disabled parking bays at the top of nearby Canon Place.

Such a lovely hotel.on check-in your bags are delivered to your room .

Customer service upon arrival and the whole stay was perfect.

Upon checking out we were not asked if we had a nice stay or if everything was ok!

Best bit was arriving at breakfast in time to be seated with a sea view.

From checking in to departing the stay was wonderful with great staff working hard in a lovely hotel in the best location in Brighton.

I surprised my husband with a stay at the grand for his birthday, I mentioned in the booking that it was his birthday and the lady on reception mentioned it and there was a card waiting for him.

I went to The Grand for my friend’s birthday.

We went  to celebrate a very special 90th Birthday,

It was my 50th birthday so a bit of a treat.

Stayed for 2 nights as a birthday treat for myself and it was a perfect visit!

My daughter and I spent three nights at the grand Brighton to celebrate her 18th birthday.

6 of us stayed for 3 nights to celebrate dads 90 birthday and mum and dads anniversary.

Family afternoon tea to celebrate a birthday.

Booked at The Grand as it was my sister's birthday!We both had an amazing time.Lovely staff,great room.Breakfast was lovely in the big conservatory looking out at the sea!Would definitely come again!💜

For a special treat booked the famous Grand Hotel Brighton as an overnight treat for my wife for her Birthday.

Knowing how lovely the lounge is in the grand Ed booked for pre dinner drinks for my nieces birthday.

I booked to stay here for my partners 50th birthday.

Celebratory weekend in Brighton for a friends birthday.

We were celebrating a birthday with our 13 year old son, he didn’t even get a biscuit in the room as everything was focused on two people.

Went to The Grand for afternoon tea for mother in laws 88th birthday , we had a lovely time , excellent service and food was amazing , we had to take cakes home there was so many , love the cake trolley , thank you to all the staff , very memorable trip.

This made the handwritten note they left on the bed ‘Happy birthday and Anniversary!’ Seem like a sarcastic joke rather than any real effort to make our stay special.

but it was my husband's 60th birthday so we treated ourselves.

We wanted to celebrate my wife's big birthday in style, The Grand Hotel defiantly ticked all the boxes and more.

but as it was my birthday I had the joyous experience of being popped into a HUGE corner suite!

My husband and I took advantage of the midweek deal to stay at The Grand for my birthday as Brighton is my favourite place in the UK.

The mattresses were so comfortable and we slept really well.

Great interior , receptionists very friendly and welcoming and concierge ,
Breakfast wonderful , bed
Comfortable , bath and shower and ruining board and iron and fridge and hairdryer which I liked also overall lovely stay would recommend and will be back

Our room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable.

We opted for a “kings” suite and was not disappointed, everything you could wish for, large comfy bed, plenty of place in the rooms, which by the way were very clean.the service at this hotel is superb,you are made to feel very welcome.to sum up, a delightful stay and well worth the money.

I surprised my husband for a night away as a little pick me up after what his been through and, the hotel is massive and it's quite and the staff were amazing we stayed in a inland room with courtyard view the shower was amazing and the bed is very comfy, breakfast was very nice I will be staying there again very soon

Very comfortable bed and great breakfast.

but very clean and beds comfortable with added extras you would expect.

The rooms are spacious, the beds very comfortable, shower works very well.

Great location, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast

The room (grand collection seaview double) was spotless, spacious & very elegant with super comfortable bed with a balcony overlooking the seafront (room 216).

It was surprisingly quiet at night and had a super comfy bed, if a tad short for my husband.

The service was good on a hot and very busy day, the rooms - initially 133 and then 632 are fresh, clean and beds comfortable.

The AC system was good and the bed was comfortable.

Very comfortable bed, lots of storage space in the room to unpack etc.

Spacious room with very comfortable beds.

We stayed in one of the Suites on the 7th Floor, the suite was amazing, very clean, every amenity one would need, bed very comfortable.

Also, we asked for a cot for the baby and they charged an extra £10, which given the price of the hotel, seems quite unfair.

My only two complaints are that the wifi didn’t work and it cost us an extra £60 in data over the week, adding that amount onto the cost of the room.

I can get a Deliveroo Driver to for £4 to travel across Brighton collecting whatever we want for 70% of the hotels prices.

All ok f this is because you took another booking off my partners card, even after I paid for the reservation!!!!!

Where to start… Paid £479 (!) for 1 night stay on a Monday (!)

Chipped baths and broken furniture are not what I expect when you are paying this price.

but couldn’t justify the  extra price 
My only disappointment was buffet breakfast was very poor display choice and quality and next time would stay room  only as I would have expected better  standard considering the rest of the hotel which I love  that said I can’t wait to stay again !

but when checking out we were given a bill for £35 and upon checking bank statement the parking cost us $87 aud

We did have room service for lunch which costs £5 charge plus 12.5% service, outrageous!

For the premium charge you should be looking for 5/5 in all categories.

but due to lack of car parking it cost £33 at the local NCP for 24 hours.

but limited choice and the drinks were very expensive.

I understand that Brighton in August is peak period and expensive,

However, room was very clean and comfy just the appearance different to advertisement/ needed a bit of an update considering the price you pay

I ordered a bucket of ice to my room & was charged £8 room service fee, won't do that again!

Noisy wedding (on a sunday) no warning as to this.

Whilst we expected road noise the singing from some of the performers at the open air booth near the Music Hall was quite intrusive and far from relaxing.

I understand that a crying child is a difficult noise to address at a hotel,

but nothing great: beds are comfy but bathroom is very tired , amenities a bit basic and the noise from a party within the hotel was loud and went on past midnight.

but if this is the case then they should provide some type of noise control.

Room was noisy as air conditioning could be heard thru a closed window.

There was lots of noise from fighting drunks at 2am

However our room at the back had constant beeping from outside all night - then very noisy building site in the morning.

It was a hot few days and the room aircon was at the max which made it noisy.

Due to the lack of proper windows (they have only wooden-framed, single-glazed sash windows) it's impossible to keep the noise and vibration at bay.

When you are in a bathroom you can hear everything what is going on in the corridor,

Such a shame that the experience was marred by a terrible nights sleep as the room we had was an inland room where you can hear the constant loud drone of what sounds like large fans!

Chairs on each landing need to be reupholstered and breakfast area needs more of a selection and staff.

There was many other people complaining regarding the noise.

I assume the floorboards are connected which meant any time either of us got out of bed the other room was aware of it.

but one of the windows vibrates, it was a noisy night and I gave up trying to sleep before 6.

Only negative was the shower - a slightly painful over the bath jet with an old fashioned shower curtain to attack you!

though because it's in the centre of things it is noisy at night.

The noise when people walked on the loose floorboards on the corridor outside was easy to hear.

but the party goers across the road can bet noisy,

The rooms overlooking the sea so lovely and afternoon tea and dinner is delicious

We stayed in a sea view room and enjoyed waking up to the sight of the sea.

We were in an ocean view room with balcony.

I think you need to book a sea view room to get the most out of your stay and hope you get allocated a room with a balcony, which is a lovely place to sit and watch.

We stayed in room 224 which has great views over the sea and a balcony.

Amazing 4 nights, gorgeous sea view room, sumptuous breakfasts and super friendly staff.

We had a room over looking the sea, as as it was especially hot in August, lovely to see so many people enjoying Brighton!

A lovely hotel.Friendly and caring staff provide an excellent level of service.Rooms very comfortable and spacious.The views from the sea view rooms are lovely.Very well located.

We had a classic sea view room, which was reasonably comfortable, with a safe and refrigerator.

I usually stay in a Grand Collection sea view room (as they all have balconies)

We splashed out on a sea view room with balcony, which was super.

We stayed in a deluxe sea view room that lived up to expectations.

We always stay in a sea view room and love the views of the water and skyline.

Gorgeous sea view room and terrific breakfast - yet horrified for my room service dinner they charged for the expected tray service AND service was added for both soft/alcoholic AND dinner!

It  simply makes no sense to book a standard non-sea view room unless you get a really good deal.

A perfect sea view room, incredibly luxurious.

Over the years we have visited this hotel many times and we have always been impressed by the level of service given and the appearance of the staff.

We were impressed by the level of service at the Victoria Lounge, and enjoyed greatly the quality of food and personalised service at the Cyan Restaurant.

The room was really comfortable and the level of hygiene across the hotel was exceptional.

Pros:

All staff were great and gave the level of service we would have expected from The Grand.

From the moment we arrived the level of service from all staff we encountered was exceptional.

The level of service was exemplary and we were immediately delighted.

The room was clean and nicely furnished, the bathroom was built to a budget and I was surprised that the level of finish was not higher.

but the single   rooms are shabby with huge clunky oversized furniture and no view as windows covered in film.

Our 6th floor room needed some renovation to bathroom (panel and window slightly rotten) and window ledges were dirty and growing weeds.

but be aware if you have a balcony or sea view high season there is a open top pub directly across the road and the music is very very loud so you cannot open the windows.

We reported the curtains three times as the hooks were missing and they would not keep our the light.

Our windows were overlooking the internal 5 storey walls, could not see the sky, daylight meant dusk for us.

but our only issue was both the windows were frosted, so we couldn't see out!

The depth of the huge public rooms mean that the restaurants are dark unless you are right by the window.

Rooms at the Grand are a bit hit or miss, the one we had this year had some surfaces that seemed a bit worn, the curtains were stained in the strangest of places and the bathroom,

but better windows might have helped, and there was also a lack of soundproofing from the room above mine.

Not wanting to have a weekend completely spoiled, we accepted and then went out to explore, leaving the air conditioning on to cool the room (as it was one of the hottest days of the year and the room had lots of windows).

The building next to the hotel is a building site so you need to keep your curtains closed to stop the builders looking in.

View of a concrete wall and pipe work from bedroom window so room dark and oppressive, no mobile phone reception in my room, WiFi intermittent, some free view channels missing from TV and a shower curtain rather than glass screen.

The pitiful view from my window (see below) was bearable, my friends on another floor were

but the bathroom was tired and the windows dirty.

Moved into an extremely hot room where windows wouldn't open,

Windows in the room did not insulate from outside noise and wind.

Very friendly staff and accommodating with a very late check in and then upgraded my room for me to the David Bowie room - it had a hot tub, vinyl record player and the cadburys fudge was a nice throw back too.

We stayed at Hotel Pelirocco for 4 nights over the August bank holiday.From the moment we arrived through the door we were treated like long lost family…everyone so warm, friendly…oozing charm and hospitality.

Linda who checked us in is a complete superstar and all other staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.

Linda, who checked us in, was an absolute joy, as were all the other staff we encountered - friendly, helpful, couldn't do enough for us.

Arrived early and left bags with reception so that we could go out more easily.

Check-in and checkout were very straightforward.

Not only the staff welcomed us when we arrived too early for check in with a smile and a lot of kindness.

Everyone was super friendly, and they even allows us to keep our bags in the office for the day once we had checked out.

I'll start off by saying that Linda was a fantastic asset to the hotel as she not only greeted us as we arrived, i am disabled and she helped me with storing my rollator so I wouldn't have to carry it up and down the stairs, she made a brilliant host at the bar and was very on top of greeting anyone who walked through the front door.

We received such a warm welcome from her on arrival and she kept us well and truly entertained in the evening over a few cocktails.

The hotel is so colourful, unique & quirky, we absolutely LOVED everything about it from the minute we arrived.

Check in was efficient and staff were welcoming on arrival.

but had a lovely time, frinedly team from booking in to checking out.

Love the fun quirky reception/bar area when we checked in.

We had a fabulous weekend in Brighton which was made even better by staying here.We checked in on Friday, had a cheeky cocktail before we went out with great service from  Dwayne and Marko.

On arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady who gave us our keys and told us all the information we needed to know.

The breakfasts were loved by all and the buffet arranged by Wendy for the evening of everyone’s arrival went down a storm.

We were greeted by the loveliest pink haired lady who checked us in.

My wife was not well on arrival and despite us being nearly two hours before check-in the staff were very helpful.

The lovely Alice checked us in, she was friendly, informative about Brighton and seemed genuinely interested in us and making sure we were happy.

If you are looking for a fun and quirky hotel then this is definitely the hotel to book.

The hotel
Is quirky & eclectic and the staff were friendly, welcoming and very attentive.

The location is perfect if you are seeing a concert at the Brighton Centre nearby and the ambiance/vibe  of the hotel adds to a music themed getaways  This Gen-Ex mother appreciated the Lord Vader Room while my Gen Z daughter loved the eclectic decorating of the hotel.

Beyond the room itself, the hotel is quirky, fun and instantly felt like a home from home for us people who don’t do the ‘grey & white minimal’ look.

The hotel is very quirky and different to your normal boring hotels.

The hotel is very quirky (why I booked it), and I stayed in the Tropical Paradise room, which was awesome.

The accommodation and hotel decor is simply outstanding - it was like being in a different world and I am sooo looking forward to my next visit (loved the curly wurly choccie in the room too).

The staff were friendly and welcoming and the attention to detail in the hotel decor is amazing.

The whole hotel is really well decorated, quirky and such fun.

This fun and quirky hotel was a joy to stay at and we would love to come back soon and try another themed room. Xx

My partner and I won a free nights stay at this gloriously quirky hotel.

Great boutique style hotel fabulous location and great attentive staff .

but it adds to the whole experience of this unique and quirky hotel and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is very unique, the style throughout the property is fantastic.

This is a quirky hotel with so much to look at and is really close to the sea and the town.

A Superb  Quirky Hotel with a variety of Themed rooms in a Great Location just up from the seafront, Very Friendly Staff, Excellent Breakfast will Definitely  be going back soon.

We booked the Pin Up Parlour which is Diana Dors themed, the room was very elegant and spacious.

I stayed in the Pin Up Parlour, which is dedicated to Diana Dors and is beyond glamorous and dramatically kitsch.

Second time staying at Hotel Pelirocco, the first time we stayed in the “Pin up Parlour” which we LOVED and this time we booked “DollyWould” and “The Lovers Lair” for my 35th birthday.

The location is brilliant, in a beautiful old square right on the seafront, and the Pin Up Parlour room (inspired by Diana Dors) was spacious, kooky, comfortable and offered a great view of the sea from the chaise longue!

We stayed in the Pin Up Parlour which was amazing and hope to return to a balcony room, perhaps Betty’s Boudoir.

Visited for our 10th wedding anniversary and stayed like before in the pin up parlour room.

We stayed at the Pelirocco for two nights - one in the GB Room and one in the Pin up Parlour. The rooms were fantastic (especially the Pin up Parlour which was brilliant!)

My girlfriend and I booked the Pin-Up Parlour room back in March 2018 as an anniversary treat, and stayed there in September 2018.

We were in Pin Up Parlour room which was fab.

We've tried Dollywood, Pin up Parlour, Soul Supreme and a room at the very top.

I stayed in the Pin Up Parlour which was a decadent dream come true, with a sea view visible from the chaise lounge!

but still bothered me at breakfast as they were being a bit noisy.

Only small issues was the temperature of the room, slightly too warm, we kept the windows open so we were disturbed by outside noises.

The only ‘negative’ would be that another guest was very noisy until very late at night/early in the morning and the room wasn’t soundproof so it did impact my ability to sleep.

Only downside (and this is NOT the hotels fault) is that there is scaffolding next door which has loose plastic on it, so when it's windy it could keep you awake.

Given that the building is very old, there's no sound proofing lol.

We slept brilliantly and had no trouble with late night noise from the bar, probably because we didn’t leave the bar until 2:30!

The hotel is just a constant reminder of life through music and different genre, brilliant just wanted to read and look at every Picture!

We are sorry to hear that Dwayne will be moving on

A few others have also commented that the room was cold and noisy.

Whilst the hotel itself and guests were very respectful and not noisy at all, you can hear some road noise etc due to being so close to the beach.

But the location is quiet if the walls aren't

Could hear the room opposite in the night earplugs might be good.

Also the people upstairs had creaky floor boards which woke us up earlier than we’d have liked.

couldnt sleep as not used to a single bed and it was so hot- couldnt have window open as the many takeaways at the back had noisy extractor going all night.

Sleep-wise, the only noise we experienced was the wind against the windows, which sounded a bit like somebody was knocking on the door.

Room not double glazed so a bit of noise as you'd expect in centre of a city.

but it's worth knowing that if you want a completely silent night you may want to book another room which isn't above the bar.

It was also very annoying that the plumbing in the hotel means that if anyone else runs a bath or flushes the toilet, you can hear all the water in the pipes. .
