Top South East England Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Brighton City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was smooth and easy and the rooms were very wonderful. Food Menu was a bit spenny but you're near a lot of other stores anyway. Still though stuff such as the breakfast is worth it - the buffet was amazing. Would stay again!"

Hilton London Gatwick Airport

"Great room. Would have appreciated tv with screen mirror option or streaming platform like Netflix. My blowdryer was broken and got really heated but other than that, great room. Loved the Crabtree products"

Cotswolds Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Lovely room but freezing cold when we got in - could have done with the heating on and for us to turn it down rather than the other way round. Beautiful spacious room with a balcony. Every corridor had dirty bedding, Henry vacuums and cleaning products for you to step over every time you left your room. Lovely bar area with beautiful pizzas Brilliant breakfast"

The Burlington Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was so in need of a little tlc. The room, superior twin was fine, recently refurbished, clean and comfy bed. Bathroom needed updating, but ok.The real issue was no means of fresh air, as windows were fixed shut and no other means of ventilation. The lift was appalling. Parking was ok and easily accessible. Outside painting of front especially entrance area would be a wise investment."
