About this place Amsterdam Hotel Brighton Seafront

The Amsterdam on Marine Parade offers a straightforward seaside stay in Brighton’s gay core, with a bar that welcomes guests and a sea‑view room that feels a bit dated. The hotel sits on Marine Parade, right on the coast at the edge of Kemptown, Brighton’s gay neighbourhood. Its ground‑floor bar and terrace are open to non‑residents, making it a popular early‑evening spot for locals and visitors alike. The rooms look out over the sea, and older listings mention an in‑house sauna—double‑check if it’s still operating before you book. The décor is modest; the rooms are on the smaller side and some fixtures are a touch old‑school. With a 3.8 rating and mixed reviews, the real draw is the location: St James’s Street and the Kemptown bars are just a few minutes’ walk away. If you’re planning to stay during Brighton Pride in August, book well in advance. The simple, no‑frills setup is perfect for a quick, beach‑side getaway.

A very nice hotel in a very good location. Fantastic service, especially Mr. Abanob, the best receptionist we've ever encountered. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will definitely be back.

"The Amsterdam Hotel in Brighton Beach is a fantastic find, especially if you're looking for a relaxing getaway by the sea. Its location is a huge plus – we were just a short walk from the beautiful beach and boardwalk, which was perfect for morning strolls and enjoying the ocean air. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful from the moment we arrived, making us feel right at home. Our room was really comfortable and had a lovely, fresh feel to it, perfect after a day spent by the water. Everything was super clean, and we had all the amenities we needed. The quiet atmosphere was great for unwinding, and we even had a peek of the ocean from our window, which was a nice bonus. It was just what we needed for a peaceful break. I'd definitely recommend the Amsterdam Hotel to anyone visiting Brighton Beach. It offers a great combination of convenience to the beach, comfortable accommodations, and friendly service. We had a wonderful, refreshing stay and would absolutely choose to come back here on our next trip to the coast!"

Awful hotel. Had to leave before our reservation ended. All night there was loud stomping and dragging above us which made it impossible to sleep. The lock on our room didn’t work which made us feel very unsafe. The people working there were terrible, we tried to ask a basic question and the guy at the front desk had to call someone and we had to speak to him through the phone. They were very rude when we complained about the noise. And no tea, only coffee. The bathroom wasn’t in the room which was NOT advertised to us, and we were just shut into a basement room which we were also not advised about. The man at reception also gave me and my partner an attitude when we explained why we wanted to check out early. Horrible hotel, do not recommend. Horrible service.

Awful stay. Avoid at all costs, check the reviews. Place is filthy. Staff do not care about your complaints or stay. My room was filthy and bed sheets still the same from the couple who had the room before me. They had a great time by the looks of the lipstick smeared across the pillow cases. Ask for clean bedding and id do it myself, met with an awful attitude and was never giving new bedsheets. They did enter my room while I was out and it wasnt to clean the room. Hope they had a nice rummage around. Money grab, steer clear. But brighton is awsome!! Just stay somewhere else.
