About this property

Welcome to The Queensbury Hotel

Situated on Regency Square, this 4-star hotel offers a blend of Regency charm and practical comfort just steps from Brighton’s famous seafront. Some rooms feature period details and sea views, creating a distinctive character that sets the property apart from more modern hotels nearby. Guest feedback frequently highlights the clean, well-maintained rooms and comfortable beds, although some mention the compact room sizes and the absence of air conditioning.

Facilities cater primarily to convenience and relaxation, with free Wi-Fi, a complimentary breakfast, and an on-site restaurant. The hotel is family-friendly and smoke-free but does not offer amenities like a fitness center, airport shuttle, or pet-friendly accommodations. Check-in begins at 14:00, and checkout is by 11:00, allowing for seamless transitions during a typical day of sightseeing or business.

The location is a strong selling point, especially for visitors looking to explore Brighton’s well-known attractions. The hotel stands within easy reach of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Palace Pier, and the Brighton i360, all highly rated for their unique appeal and entertainment options. Numerous guests appreciate the proximity to these landmarks, as well as nearby shopping and dining venues, describing it as ideal for anyone wanting an accessible base in the city.

Reviews reflect a generally positive experience driven by welcoming and accommodating staff. Several guests note helpfulness at the front desk and above-average service, which enhances the overall stay despite the limitations of the property’s older building—for example, the lack of lift access. This makes the hotel particularly suitable for travelers seeking a straightforward, value-conscious stay with character, rather than high-end luxury or extensive on-site facilities.

A Wonderful Stay at The Queensbury Hotel From the moment we arrived, our experience at The Queensbury Hotel was warm, welcoming, and effortless. The gentleman on reception was so lovely – friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. He made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to ensure our stay started on the right foot. Thanks to the kindness of the staff, we were able to check in early, which was such a thoughtful gesture and hugely appreciated. It made a real difference to our day. Our room was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need – a comfortable bed, fresh linens, a well-equipped bathroom, and thoughtful touches that made the space feel inviting and well looked after. The hotel is also in a fantastic location, with easy access to the seafront, shops, and all that Brighton has to offer. It was the perfect base for our visit. Highly recommend The Queensbury Hotel for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable stay with exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back!

Great location, and extremely reasonably priced during off-season (Jan-Feb). Rooms are large, clean and the beds are very comfortable. I would definitely stay hear again. The only (small) issue is that the water pressure isn't great in the showers.

A very warm welcome at the front desk, they had their Christmas tree up already. We got upgraded to meet our specs better and have just had a nice coffee and biscuits from the kettle setup provided. Great place if you're visiting the south coast for the night!

We had a wonderful stay at the Queensbury! Such a lovely location and super accommodating with letting us leave our stuff at reception after checkout. But the highlight definitely was the lovely conversation we had with Hassan at reception before we headed back to London. We will be back

When we arrived at the late evening we met excellent service. The room was clean with the floor a little bit like vodka spirit level. It was quiet, save and we got extra 2 hours in the morning to get our s...t together and leave for breakfast. Excellent location! Location, location, location

Great location. Rooms are clean. Beds comfortable. A bit small. No lift, so be prepared to climb if on the top level (3rd floor, we had room 6&7). Not 24-hour front desk but has an emergency number if u accidentally lock yourself out.

Such an amazing value hotel! I booked via booking.com and want sure what it would be like as it was so cheap, but honestly, it’s one of the best value BnBs I’ve ever stayed in. 5 minute walk from the Brighton Centre where I was attending a conference and right near the boardwalk. I arrived early and when I stopped by around lunchtime, the room was already ready and I was allowed to check in. Breakfast was lovely, with a choice of pastries and toast, cereal, fruits and yogurt. I was able to leave my bag after checkout and was even allowed to sit and charge my phone later on in the evening. Fantastic service, friendly staff and everything was clean and lovely. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep with a good breakfast, it’s definitely a great, no-frills option. Best value for money I’ve seen in a very, very long time.

Well located, with a short walk to the Churchill Centre, the Laines, pier, beach, etc. Rooms are compact, but functional with everything you need for a short stay. The narrow and numerous stairs to most rooms could be a problem for some, but add to the character of this period property. The continental breakfast selection is comprehensive and replenished regularly. If you want modern glamour or luxury this isn't for you, but if you want great value, character and good service you can't go wrong
