Everything at the Drake was above any of my expectations! The hotel, built in the 1800’s, the ceilings alone are amazing. The staff were also above and beyond. It felt to me that they genuinely cared about my stay. The poached eggs on avocado toast was the best! I’m not even exaggerating. I will be returning!

Best hotel in Brighton

This is my third time at the Drakes hotel and it keeps getting better and better. The rooms are gorgeous and the staff is amazing. But the main reason i love this place so much is the attention to detail: comfortable beds, home made shortbread in the rooms, the toiletries are exceptional quality and each room has its own personality.

Would definitely stay again

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.
