We wanted to have bar food on the Thursday evening but were told last minute the kitchen was closing early which was a bit inconvenient as the local restaurants were closing due to a football match so we had to get a taxi into the Lanes.

The room was spacious and had lovely big shared balcony. Bed was very comfy. Pillows were a bit soft. The shower needs a larger shower mat for safety as it's a bit slippy on trying to get out of the shower and base of shower didn't drain quickly, may have been a little blocked. But lovely size bathroom and waterfall shower. Niamh and Sasha in the bar were stars as was Mark in the restaurant. There was a young tall blonde guy helping with breakfasts on the Sunday morning and he was a little brisk in his manner, but the other staff were lovely.

The location

Stayed in June 2024

Expensive for what it was. We had a very dark inland facing twin room. Access to hotel is difficult to navigate as entrances are on different levels from road or board walk, very poorly sign posted indeed and didn’t do the hotel justice. Once you know you know, but took us a while to work out. The board walk entrance is tucked away and dimly lit and the surroundings behind the Marina restaurants didnt feel like a place we would have wanted to be at night. That whole location looks very dated and uncared for.

Location was great for some great restaurants in the Marina. Modern feel interior. Nice small bar (and restaurant but was fully booked). Free parking was a real bonus which helped our decision to stay this far out of town. Staff were friendly and check in and out was super quick.

Some staff may need to be trained on providing good customer service.

Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. We stayed in a room with a balcony which is a must have. There is free car parking (park on the 6 floor of the car park to access the board walk to the hotel). A huge choice of places to eat close to the hotel. A short bus ride to the Lanes.

There was a strange smell in a couple of the rooms which we were in - slightly dampish/sewery

Room was stylish & comfortable, great facilities & lovely bathroom too

Nothing really. We chose a sea view room this time; it was on the small side for the price but comfortable with a nice little balcony.

Comfortable and convenient. We were able to check in early to get ready for a function, which was helpful. Friendly staff.

Not stayed in a Malmaison for a few years. It was a little more basic than other hotels - some economies now with toiletries. It took a long time to check in because the staff chatted to the preceding customers.

Room: fairly basic Breakfast: good Bed: comfortable

I visit this hotel regularly, it has the best location for a Brighton visit. The rooms are all unique in their look and feel and I love the quirkiness. The bathrooms are amazing and the beds are super comfortable.

Decor, restaurants location and staff!

Signage from the car park is non existent . The name of the hotel can be seen overhead but at lower level entry is not signed , so walked past .

Location is great , overlooking the Marina

Not very clear where the parking lot is. But super helpful reception helped out. Top tip, park on floor 6 to access the boardwalk.

Great modern feel with up to day rooms and helpful staff

Chairs in lounge was too low for me being disabled, was allowed to sit in the bar during the morning

It wasn't easy to find and lugging your luggage from the carpark wasn't great.

The room view

Stayed in June 2024

Car park wasn’t up to standard, had a vintage car in a multi-storey - not ideal - for the money the place should have a better car park

Clean tidy and good view

The bedroom colour scheme was too dark.

Excellent location .The bed was really comfortable.

Reception should have just acknowleged me whilst I was waiting to check in. Even just eye contact and a nod of their head wold have been nice.

Reception staff on arrival were very busy and I felt a bit ignored however when my daughter left a valuable item in the safe the staff went out of their way to help get it back to us. Cleaning staff alos very helpful.

The restaurant is very expensive, lovely food but it’s much cheaper to eat elsewhere. Not enough tea, coffee & milk in the room so had to ask for more at reception & the fridge wasn’t cold enough to keep the fresh milk cool.

We like it here for the outside space & being by the sea & we had a lovely room. The staff are friendly & helpful
