43-44 Marine Parade, Brighton & Hove, East Sussex - England, BN2 1PE, United Kingdom
Located on the seafront overlooking the Brighton Pier, Drakes is a 20 bedroom boutique hotel set in a pair of Regency townhouses in the heart of Brighton. The fully air-conditioned bedrooms have ‘Vi Spring’ beds adorned with Egyptian cotton sheets and goose and duck-down bedding, many of the rooms feature free standing baths looking out over the seafront. Positioned on Marine Parade, five minutes from the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Pier, Sea Lanes swimming, Soho House, the War Memorial and close to Kemptown Races, Drakes is the ideal place to explore the city, to enjoy the sea and beaches, to experience its famous social scene and to watch the glorious sunsets from our Cocktail Bar (or your bedroom) with a tipple or two. Due to the historic layout, the building does not have elevator access to the upper floors, if you require a lower or more accessible floor, please make this request upon booking so we can ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible.

Lovely hotel with a beautiful winding staircase. The building is stunning. People complain about no lift but in such an old building it shouldn’t be expected. Our sea view room was very comfortable with amazing pillows!

Property was warm welcoming and clean, location was fabulous the rooms absolutely lovely, bed were very comfy, only beds I can compare to were the Sofitel who has soft squishy beds with lovely 100cotton bedding. Only down side was no hairdryer but didn’t matter
No hairdryer in the room

Lovely old building with original sweeping spiral staircase. Lots of original features and the property has been sensitively adapted for guests. Very friendly, helpful staff and the owner was very accommodating and affable.

The quality of the room was lovely, with a really comfortable bed and great bedding. Loved the balcony with the pull down steps. Great view of the beach and pier from the balcony. All the staff were really friendly too.. it was very convenient to get a parking space in front of the hotel.
There really are a lot of stairs! Room was worth it when you got there, though.

Poor
Good location, very helpful staff
Found hairs in room on arrival - reception were informed. Non-existent sound-proofing (we were in room 16 - avoid). Kept awake by room above on our first night. Staff kindly let us move rooms on the second night and waived breakfast costs, but even then the price was certainly not justified - the basics just weren’t covered. Dated interiors, worn carpets, room not clean on arrival, and terrible noise from other rooms. We didn’t sleep very well as a result. Really disappointed with our stay at this hotel.

Perfect location
We’ve stayed several times before, always with a sea view room, this one was the smallest room we have stayed in. The bathroom was extremely tiny.

The breakfast was good, the view, the bath, the view from the bedroom was lovely. The quality of the products for shower, bath.. my partner and me loved the quality and smell, really nice
The pillows and the size of the bedrooms and halls (I expected to have a bigger bedroom) also having a specific space for the kettle not behind a curtain. Apart of that I think the rest the things were okay.
