We were so worried that this hotel would be a dive from the description of others on this site but were so pleasantly surprised to see such a beautiful building, with amazing windows flooding light right through the rooms, pleasant bedrooms with 101 even having a sofa in it and clean bathrooms. If you are looking for the lap of... More

The most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff member on the reception was clueless and so unhelpful when checking in, she started addressing another group of customers thinking they were with me when clearly they said they were checking out & I said I was checking in so she continued to give them my room key....

Regrettably we have no idea regarding the motivation for such a harsh review and cannot easily identify with any of the sentiments expressed. The author's remarks are also incongruous with the positive feedback the Langfords generally receives and as such we view them as apocryphal We have never made any bones about this grand Victorian lady of Third Avenue being...

Another trip to Brighton to see the Albion play and what a result - 6-1 win was amazing. Staying at the Langfords was great in terms of the location meaning an easy exit from Hove to the AMEX Stadium; being able to book just one night at the weekend was also a big advantage The hotel was fine, clean and...

As others have mentioned this hotel needs refurbishing but our stay was comfortable and as we had booked at the last minute it was very reasonable.

A good, no nonsense review thank you and really pleased the hotel looked after you so well for your four day visit from Cheshire - a beautiful county.

We really appreciate your kind words. As we have said before, while the Langfords is very much the "grand dame" of Third Avenue, she still has a great deal to give. Offering value for money remains uppermost in our thoughts Hopefully we will see you 'south of the border' again as 2013 progresses. Renewed thanks More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Langfords Hotel in Hove is situated on a tree-lined avenue a short stroll from the shingle beach of Brighton and Hove’s historical seafront; only a fifteen minute walk from the bustling centre of the South Coast’s famous seaside resort of ‘kiss-me-quick’ Brighton. Although Brighton retains its cheeky reputation, it has grown up considerably since it merged with its immediate neighbour, Hove – when it became a new British city for the Millennium; a gift from HM The Queen! The combined treat of ‘Brighton & Hove’ officially merging, is that the City has become one of Britain’s most savvy twenty-first century Media Hubs – and The Langfords keeps pace happily, with conference packages to suit corporate delegates or for ‘start-ups’ in need of some space when meeting with clients…The Langfords is a lovely, red-brick Victorian building echoing with old charm and brimming with character. The hotel has 58 very well proportioned bedrooms (all with en-suite facilities), and the spacious lounge bar has direct access to our lawned gardens – perfect for relaxing in on those sunny summer days and warm evenings. We also have eight function suites and a reputation for excellent conference and wedding facilities. ... more   less
