Quite possibly the worst hotel I remember staying in and I spend 50+ nights a year in hotel rooms. Nothing good to say. There isn't a place to unpack the clothes in my suitcase except for the floor. No closet. No ironing board. A desk chair that is killing my back. Paint peeling from the desk itself. Just a thoroughly poor excuse for a hotel. It should be shut down. read more

We had a great experience at My Hotel. First, the location is very good. The hotel is located in a great section of town close to restaurants, shops, the laines and tourist attractions. It is an easy walk to the pier, the bus stops, train station or the Royal Pavilion. The front staff was great. Leah, was very helpful and friendly. The My Hotel has a funky, modern vibe to it, similar to the aloft hotel chain here in the US. The front desk also told us how to get to the hotel from Heathrow via e-mail. It was a pleasant 5 minute walk from the bus stop. The room was super clean and very nice. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We had the standard room and it was not too small, even with our luggage and things. They had nice little features throughout the room and again funky cool furniture. I don't think any two rooms in the hotel are exactly the same in decor. The My Hotel is very green conscious also. The hotel bar looked pretty cool also but we did not use it. There is a great coffee shop and Indian restaurant virtually connected to the hotel. The staff again was fantastic. They held our luggage after check out, gave great directions and recommendations. I would stay in this hotel again without question if I came back to Brighton. We paid about $150.00 USD per night . read more

MyHotel is a funky little place that is worth checking out. It is located in a part of Brighton that has easy walking access to some great restaurants, pubs, shopping, the pier and historical landmarks. Extremely convenient. If you looking for an extravagant suite that exemplifies historical England, this is not the place. The hotel is a great example of model design in England and showcases clean modern designs. The rooms fulfill all your needs while travelling (i.e. Hair dryer, coffee, real milk, iron, etc.). And while not overly big they are well designed for comfort. The breakfast offering at my hotel is not optimal and not complimentary, so check it out first and go elsewhere if your cravings lean towards something more fulfilling. read more

Very funky, modern hotel at a great location, right where the Lanes meet the North Lane, so you are a short walk to the main shopping and restaurant areas either direction. The front desk people are very helpful and smart. After seeing our room, my boyfriend wasn't happy about the color scheme. Right, you need to know that each of the 3 levels has its own color scheme and all rooms on that level have the same colored drapes and and blinds with some buddha on them to create the mood. We tried to change to a different colored room, but the lady at the front desk said that for 60 pound more, she could upgrade us to a suite. She took us up there to check out the room and successfully up-sold us the suite. And I am glad she did so, because the suite was much more spacious with a huge round bed and a bathtub. It is well worth the money. Not only do you find alcohol, tea and coffee at the mini-bar, you can also find tooth brush should you be one of those forgetful guests. Oh, speaking of being forgetful, I even got a loaner cellphone charger from the front desk. There is a bar, restaurant and even a cool independent restaurant attached to the hotel. So when you don't feel like being trapped in your room, there are plenty of places to hang out in the hotel. read more

Bottle is the night-time counterpart to Cup at the MyHotel complex. Where Cup is the daytime coffee place, Bottle is the night-time bar; they even take over the same space. Bottle seems a strange addition, with Merkaba across the hall in the MyHotel, but it seems to get OK business. I assume that Bottle is an attempt to be less chic and expensive than Merkaba, and while it is cheaper, it is still more expensive than a lot in the area. Still, it is a nice little place, if a bit dive-y (for reasons explained below). The MyHotel used to have two food bits run by Aldo Zilli: a cafe and a restaurant, but the scheme didn't work. Now, the hotel has taken over and runs both the cafe and the restaurant (Table), and has made the cafe a bar, Bottle, at night. The prices, I think, are a holdover from when Aldo Zilli was around: very high indeed! However, price isn't everything, and Bottle does offer a pleasant mixture of booze and music: like so many bars in the area. It is a little out of the way; Jubilee Street is a bit of a dead zone past 5, and I'm sure Bottle suffers for it. Also, with little advertising or flashing lights drawing you in, it does often seem closed, and with Merkaba next door, it would do well to be a more attractive prospect from the outside. Inside, Bottle suffers from being a cafe in the daytime: the arrangement is more high tables and chairs than couches, and it doesn't lend itself to the bar environment. Also, the lighting is very dim, possibly to detract from the bar atmosphere: it feels a bit like a dive because of this. I'd recommend giving Bottle a try, but I doubt you'll love it. Merkaba, literally across the entrance hall, is lovely for most of what Bottle offers, although it is much more pricey, but then again Bottle is almost dingy, while Merkaba is bright and alive. Take your pick! read more

a. Location and Surroundings - This is certainly not a 4 star hotel, the best part is only its location - which is also not at the beach. The good part is the nearby restaurants and pubs which you can just walk to. They also have an Indian restaurant right downstairs. b. Facilities - I got this hotel with a priceline deal, so I was happy as it seemed expensive and updated - turned out just pretentious and quirky. Which four star hotel does not have a pool, gym, spa, included breakfast or even decent wifi? Myhotel is the answer. Wifi was restricted to devices (sucks) and slow. They asked us to go use the public pool & gym down the road. Parking was a whopping 25GBP per day. c. Room - Size of room and bed were decent. No coffee maker or locker in the room. The room décor was very quirky - they tried to go for a modern décor but the orange designs were just creepy. There is absolutely no privacy. If you open the window, the glass window was see through, so were the bathroom and toilet glass doors? We went with a group of friends d. Service - They were pretty rude when I requested an extra mattress or bed - we had 5 people and wanted to stay in 2 rooms (not leaving a friend alone) - but they were very strict and refused outright. When I asked to pay, they offered me a room at 350GBP - which was higher than my entire prepaid booking of USD 270. The reception staff seemed Russian or Eastern European (nothing against them) but they were curt and not courteous at all. I would never come back or recommend. read more

A hip modern hotel in the heart of the North Laines, a short walk from various restaurants, pubs and shops. I'm not convinced that Brighton is a popular tourist destination (my colleagues told me that tourists come from all over the world by the bus load in the summer); there's not a lot of variety in lodging options in the area. If you're looking for something different and yet still convenient, myHotel is it. They have a variety of rooms and artist studios. From what I understand, no two artist studios are alike and each floor has its own color scheme. I booked a standard room and found it to be spacious, comfy, and thoughtfully designed. The color scheme was bright orange (the Fanta organge girl would feel right at home here! Also, what is this European obsession with Fanta orange?). The highlights: - I love the tea tin! It's packed with great tea and coffee, shortbread cookies, and biscuits! - Free breakfast (small offering, but still nice), with coffee from the Small Batch Coffee company (an awesome shop serving local coffee). - Free wifi (although kind of slow). - Staff was very friendly and helpful. - The bar downstairs supposedly makes really good cocktails and the Indian fusion restaurant seemed to be really popular. - A very short walk to bars and shops (although most bars seem to be closed by midnight and the shops are closed by 6pm, except on Thursdays, which is apparently the local shopping day). - A 10-minute walk to the Brighton train station (30-minute train ride to London, I think) or 10-minute walk to where the National Express buses drop you off (2-hour ride to Heathrow if you're feeling cheap). read more

I really enjoyed staying at the myHotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I got an upgrade for the room, which was nice and was staying in a spacious double room. Everything was very clean and practical. It is about a 7min walk to the railway station, as well as to the famous pier. I did not try the breakfast that was available between 7am and 10am. + Great location in the city centre + Lovely designed rooms + Minibar prices were good - Not the cheapest hotel read more

MyHotel Brighton - Hallway - Hotels & Travel Near Me - Brighton, BNH

myHotel Brighton is an absolutely amazing hotel. I read some of the mediocre and negative reviews of this hotel, but honestly my experience was nothing but the contrary. First, let's start with the hotel itself. On the outside it doesn't look like much, but as you step into the lobby you're visual senses are instantly stimulated. It's sleek modern designs are beautiful. The color choices are a visual wonderland, and the designs of halls, the rooms, and furniture are brilliant. Speaking of the rooms, I found them spacious and well laid out. I had a great view of the courtyard next to the hotel, and the integrated sound system (for your own music/entertainment) and free wifi is a nice touch. The room was cleaned daily and all amenities were restocked. The staff was incredibly accommodating, offering to carry our luggage to our room for us, and there were several "late nights" we had in Brighton where they were right at the door to let us in after the main lobby closed. The cocktail bar off of the main lobby is also quite a treat. Coming from America I find it hard to have good cocktails in the UK, and this bar did not disappoint, offering a myriad of custom made cocktails, or the option to mix whichever cocktails your heart desires. While I stayed in the hotel with a friend, given the overarching themes and romanticized environment, I would highly recommend for couples who need to get away or for newlyweds. read more

There's no doubt about it, this place is seriously cool. Walking into the hotel lobby from North Laine is a bizarre experience like stepping from the epitome of Brighton into something completely different that feels like it would belong far better in the centre of London. That's not to say I don't love it, because I do. Strangely enough, I'd never set foot in here before last week. I wasn't sure that just wandering into a hotel lobby was entirely acceptable. That was until I discovered the insanely cool bar at the back. Oh my goodness, it's brilliant. On each of the far walls there are two gorgeous fish tanks, while images of fish are displayed on the plasma screens over the steel bar. The place seems kind of space-age, with soft curves of metal and high-legged chairs lining the central seating area. It feels nothing like the homely, traditional pubs I tend to frequent and hey, I think it's time for a change of scenery every now and again! Drinks prices are slightly shocking, but everyone's got to indulge once in a while. Especially when it comes to cocktails. I may be giving a slightly biased review in that the only room I've set foot in is the 'Carousel' penthouse suite, which at £450 per night you'd have to have some mega bucks to consider staying in. You can get a week in Florida, flights and all, for that kind of money (believe me, I've checked). But who am I kidding? If I had the money I'd definitely stay here. Probably once a week. The decor is very bachelor-padesque: leather chairs, animal print ottomans, an enormous plasma screen TV, blacks, browns and deep reds. But this is softened by the addition of a beautiful antique rocking horse (which you aren't actually allowed to touch), silks, velvet and beautiful balls of crystal topping the roofless four-poster bed. The bathroom area contains a stunning free-standing bath and is seductively curtained off with a red, semi-sheer curtain. As if that wasn't enough, there's also your own personal steam room. Utterly divine. Now, where's my lottery win so I can move in? read more

MyHotel Brighton - Hotels & Travel Near Me - Brighton, BNH

An uber-cool hotel, with an ultra-cool bar. Everything about this MyHotel is trendy and cool. The exterior is cool, the lobby area is trendy, the bedrooms are cool, the liftser go up and down. It's a nice place to stay, in a good location. Parking is the biggest downside. I had to park a 5 minute walk away in an NCP carpark, not cheap. The room was small but comfortable. The transparent door to the toilet was a little odd. Not the kind of place you'd stay on business! read more

This place is contempary, cool and stylish. I have ventured into the ultra cool bar which has a backdrop of many lcd screens playing eyecatching bouncing shapes! I also have had a sit down meal here which was amazing, but the price does reflect this! If your wanting to impress take your company here it definatly wont dissapoint (maybe your it will dissapoint your bank balance a bit though!) With a very wide selection of drinks from all over the world, and service that treats you like royalty, this will never let you down! read more

Myhotel is beautiful with wonderful friendly staff and divine bedrooms. Its in the town centre instead of on the seafront so its a little larger than most small hotels. The rooms are all laid out by a Feng Shui consultant and are mostly white with very bold colours in the bathrooms. Totally gorgeous, just a shame about the Tesco store opposite for those wanting a nicer view but worth closing the blinds or asking for a room overlooking Library square. Lovely Bar too although the double measures are a little pricey. read more

In June I booked a one night stay in July for me and my partner to celebrate my birthday. On the morning of our intended stay I received a phone call from a lady named Cherry in the reservations team, informing me that myhotel had made an error and that there were not enough rooms for us to stay that evening. Cherry explained that the error was completely the fault of myhotel and not anything to do with our booking through lastminute.com but explained that as it was "only" for a one night reservation they had contacted Jury's Inn, the nearest hotel, and could book us a room there for the night. Cherry explained that the rate for Jury's Inn was £26 more expensive than what we had currently paid for the room at myhotel and that myhotel would pay the extra £26. We argued that we had actually considered Jury's Inn when initially looking for a hotel and that it was in fact cheaper than myhotel at that time, and that it was too far from our intended location. It is evident that the reason for the room costing £26 more was because the booking was being made on the day of the intended stay, when the price will be at its highest. We protested that it was appalling we were not notified until the morning of our intended stay. When we enquired why we had not been notified sooner Cherry positively lied and stated that someone had tried to call us the day before. However neither of us had any phone calls, missed phone calls or voicemails, all of which one would expect from a situation so urgent. Cherry offered us some cocktail vouchers as compensation for myhotels error. To which we informed Cherry that we do not drink alcohol and that this offer was not in any way sufficient for this awful lack of customer service. Cherry explained that the bar could also make non-alcoholic cocktails, hardly compensation, and that she could make a note of our name on the system in order to upgrade our room should we book again. To which we responded that, why given these circumstances, would we wish to book a room at myhotel again. To clarify Cherry stated that she could offer no more than this and that by accepting the room at Jury's Inn we had accepted the mistake. We accepted the transfer to Jury's Inn because we were on our way to Brighton and needed the guarantee of somewhere to sleep that night. Our negative experience with myhotel did not, unfortunately, end with this incident. On Friday evening when we attempted to visit the hotel bar to enquire about the cocktail vouchers and in the hope of speaking with the manager, we were informed by the bouncer at the door that the bar was at capacity and we could not come in. We explained the situation and asked if we may simply go and speak to the bar manager, but we were informed that this was not possible. Incredibly frustrated we walked on to another nearby bar. Upon returning past myhotel shortly after we were called over to speak to the bar manager outside of the hotel. The bar manager preceded to waste even more of our evening by explaining to us that the bar was currently catering for a corporate event and could not allow us in, surely something which should have been checked when the offer of cocktails was originally made. read more

A wonderful clean futuristic hotel right by the lanes where it all happens in Brighton! Rather space age which I loved. Freddy was great at reception. Room was spacious, immaculate, with large comfortable bed with nice linens.... Truly enjoyed it and will return. read more

Found this hotel on the Internet and was intrigued by the eclectic rooms and decor. I was very pleased upon arrival. Staff were very helpful, attentive and courteous. Our room was very bright and clean. We had a view of the open square beside the hotel that was great for people watching. The hotel has a great location, close the many great bars, restaurants, tourist attractions and and entertainment venues. The continental breakfast is quite good as well. There are two restaurants right in the same building which are both quite nice as well. Highly recommend this one read more

MyHotel Brighton - My wife loved the window seat - Hotels & Travel Near Me - Brighton, BNH

Replacing what was initially an absolutely dire Aldo Zilli café, Bottle is the evening incarnation of the day time café Cup, which in turn is the more casual café alternative to the restaurant Table, all of which are situated on the ground floor of MyHotel. Table, Cup and Bottle are all run by A Company of Cooks, a business that specialise in opening cafés and restaurants primarily in posh tourist attractions - e.g. The RHS Wisley, the South Bank Centre, and the Tower of London. Like many of their locations there is a strong chrome/marble aesthetic going on, much of the interior seems to be made of metal, although it looks like they are trying to address this fact with a wall called 'your wall' for which they are asking the public to submit art suggestions. The selection of drinks is good, they sell the local Hepworth Blonde lager which makes me a happy bunny. They also have a reasonable wine list with quite a few by the glass. They have a happy hour between 5 and 7 and different nights of the week have music sessions, e.g. Thursday is soul night, Friday is house music. It's a little bit expensive, but you get used to that in Brighton. They have a menu of nibbles with things like calamari and cheeseburger. read more
