Ocean view room was tiny, but well laid out. Loved the balcony/the fact that the windows opened. Could hear the waves at night. Very peaceful. Sweet neighborhood too. No elevator though, the only downside.

Perfect location for a quick visit to Brighton.
Perfect location with a view of the sea. The room was small but really comfortable. I liked the bathtub near the windows. Shower was a wet room which I had never seen before. Nice amenities.

Comfortable and food parking
Drake's was a nice hotel with a clean, well-appointed and comfortable room. It is located on the main stand in Brighton and provides reserved parking (for a reasonable fee). This is a great benefit in that area where parking is crazy! The only issue is that many rooms are located up several steep flights of stairs and there is no lift. If you have issues with stairs, double check the location of your room!

The shower was a great idea but everything got wet like the loo roll and the toilet seat, the price of the room and not to have a view was disappointing but is what it is. Staff were fantastic couldn’t fault them at all! Would stay again but ask for a better view of the sea or even the city

Beautiful Views
The Hotel was in the perfect position with lots of amenities and walkable to most locations. The #1 room was so beautiful! It had a fee stair cases but easily accessible, two big windows sea view windows with comfy chairs to read by. The bedding had the best pillows and felt very decadent. Bring your hair net because the rain shower was straight overhead. Staff was excellent and bar was awesome! Will come again!
