I enjoyed the location of the New Madeira Seafront Hotel, right by the pier and main attractions, but was disappointed with the state of the rooms. The bed was comfortable, which helped, but the bathroom needed serious upgrades and felt quite dingy. The lack of amenities like breakfast included in the price made it feel less like a value stay. Overall, it's good for its location, but I wouldn't say it was worth the money.

Rooms

The room size was decent, but it was very dated and tired-looking. The bathroom felt small and needed renovation, plus the shower just trickled. The windows were really old, and I felt stuffy in the room.

The hotel had basic facilities, but there was no lift which was a hassle with luggage. The ambiance in the bar area was lively, but it was pretty noisy at times.

My stay at the New Madeira Seafront Hotel had its ups and downs. The location right by the seafront was perfect for exploring Brighton, and my room on the third floor offered a lovely sea view. However, I faced some maintenance issues like the lift not working and a weak shower. Overall, it was a mixed experience, but I appreciated the staff's friendliness.

My stay at the New Madeira Seafront Hotel was overall pleasant, enjoyable for its lively atmosphere and friendly staff, but the room I had could definitely use some improvements, especially with lighting and the bathroom space. The fantastic location made it easy to explore Brighton's attractions right by the beach, but the noise level might be bothersome for light sleepers on busy nights.

Rooms

My recent stay at New Madeira Seafront Hotel was a mixed bag. While the location right by the seafront was fantastic and gave easy access to the beach, the room was a bit on the older side and didn't have the best view due to a construction site. I appreciated the cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff, but the overall experience left some room for improvement.
