Excellent stay at the Brightonwave Hotel! Very well located, just steps from the sea, the pier, and the city center. The atmosphere is truly "so British": a charming, typical English house with cozy decor, a delicious English breakfast, and a warm welcome. You immediately feel at home. A perfect place to stay while discovering Brighton!

Excellent stay at the Brighton Wave! The hotel is ideally located, very clean, and tastefully decorated. The staff were particularly welcoming and attentive from beginning to end. The room was comfortable, quiet, and perfectly equipped. The breakfast was also very good, with fresh products. A wonderful experience; I highly recommend it for a stay in Brighton!

This is a real home from home, impeccably clean, stylish and with a real attention to detail. The breakfast is perfect with a good choice and beautifully presented. I last stayed here 11 years ago and it is still owned by the same people, which is very comforting, with a real passion for what they do running this hotel to the highest standards. I highly recommend.

Stayed at Brighton wave for on night in April. Friendly welcome from Richard who explained everything we needed to know with no fuss. Shown to our room which was clean and so welcome equipped with everything you could need. Comfortable and quiet night in a huge double bed. Lovely breakfast which was cooked to order. Great selection of other breakfast items and ample supply of tea. A little oasis in Brighton.
