What reviewers say

Many visitors praise the hotel's friendly and welcoming staff, with specific mentions of excellent service at breakfast and the bar, as well as its perfect location with stunning beach views. However, some guests have reported issues with tired rooms, worn carpets, and a lack of basic amenities like soap, while others experienced problems with hot water or found sofa beds to be uncomfortable and not worth the extra cost.

About this place Jurys Inn Brighton Waterfront

Leonardo Hotel Brighton on Kings Road is a chain property that caters to a broad crowd, including gay travelers, without branding itself as a gay hotel. The building sits right on the seafront, the same stretch where Jurys Inn used to operate before the rebrand. Rooms are the usual chain fare—clean, functional, a few with sea views. The biggest surprise is the indoor pool and Health & Leisure club, amenities you don’t often find steps from the beach. Brighton Pier and the Royal Pavilion are a quick 400 m stroll, so you can dip into the sea or a museum without planning a separate trip. If you’re looking for the city’s gay nightlife, head east to Kemptown; St James’s Street’s bars are about a 15‑minute walk along the promenade. Google rates the hotel 4.3 out of 5 from roughly 3,400 reviews. Prices jump noticeably during Brighton Pride in early August, so book early if you’re planning to be there for the festival.

I had an amazing one night stay at the leonardo waterfront. It was my partners birthday and Jerome the manager called me on the morning and very kindly upgraded our room. Rooms were super clean, the hotel in general had an amazing clean smell. Reception staff were very friendly and had answers for all of us questions. Spa area clean and not too busy. Will definitely be revisiting this hotel. Thanks!
