After reading other reviews on this hotel we decided to look elsewhere. The trouble is that Hove and Brighton have a massive problem with lack of parking space, and trying to book somewhere with parking only 4 days ahead proved virtually impossible unless you wanted to spend £160 upwards a night. Courtlands offers parking and is in a good position... more

Stay clear of this hotel. It claims to be 3*, the price was 4* and the standard was pushing 2*. If booking accommodation for myself I always consult Trip Advisor first and only stayed at this hotel as part of a Silver wedding anniversary party which was being held on site. My boyfriend and I have stayed in a number... more

Sent to this hotel by the Ramada Jarvis when they overbooked their rooms. My Partner and I asked to see the room before we checked in since they demanded payement up front. After being taken by a Porter up in the lift down some stairs, up more stairs and down some stairs to get the room. The room was so... more

I stayed in The Courtlands for one night (it was recommended to me by a local business contact) and I have never been so pleased to leave somewhere the following morning!

In addition, we were told to store our bags in a room (with lots of junk) which clearly blocked the... more

we have recently had a wedding reception at courtlands hove, and have found the management misleading, uncareing, and disinterested in our problems. My daughter was left crying on her wedding evening because of there failure to deliver what they had promised. I have to say their staff were amazing especially paul the bar manager who souhld be given the maangers... more

I stayed at this Brighton area hotel for four nights in December (2002). Although there were lots of problems that I encoutered with my short stay there, there was so much charm in both the physical setting, and the employees of this hotel, and with the local people I met in the Hotel bar there, that I have given it... more

Surprisingly good, seems better than their 3-star rating. Very good restaurant (deserving of their RAC dining award). Enjoyed the bar too, it seems very popular, a good atmosphere and very friendly. more
