The Hotel is in an excellent location, with easy access to the Lanes. We had our evening meal on Friday and the food was great, Breakfast overlooking the sea was great. The staff were excellent, we had problems with the heating and water over the weekend, the staff were polite, helpful, we were compensated for the problems we had experienced and would certainly recommend a visit, good value for money (especially with the discount offered). The beds were really comfortable and despite walking all day Saturday we were well rested on Sunday morning, ready to face a long trip back in the snow.

The location of the hotel is fantastic, right on the sea front at the back of the Lanes
The facilities and staff at the hotel were very good too, we had 2 rooms 1 family and 1 twin, and we arranged for them together, which the staff were able to accommodate this.
We ate lunch at the hotel, and the staff were very accommodating and helpful, pizza for the kids and it was lovely! Think they could have put some complimentary nibbles on with drinks though
We used the pool/sauna/steam room - more seating around the pool would have been nice, and the ability to order some drinks would have been lovely. But it was very clean.
The car park was Ok for us as we arrived in the morning of the Saturday and there were a few spaces (park on level 2 or 4 if you can to get to the lifts).
One problem during our stay was that the hotels boiler broke down and there was reduced hot water, a note was put under our doors apologising .... it was a bitterly cold weekend and the heating was on full blast. Additional heaters were supplied to us.
These things happen. but the hotel were very apologetic and the matter was resolved.
I would definately return to this hotel.

The Thistle has a good location right on the seafront quite close to the pier; The dining room is at first floor level (with lift access if you need it) and offers good views over the sea.
The Sunday lunch is based on starters and carvery main course for £9.95, and desserts for an additional £4. I thought all courses were good although my wife was not too convinced by the roast potatoes.
House wine is fine so in summary a good lunch at a low price - well worth a visit.
NB: the restaurant is south facing so in summer a window table might prove to be a bit warm....

Stayed here on a Sat night as part of a Groupon deal. Really worth the money. The location is fantastic right on the front with views overlooking the pier. Staff very friendly especially Ken the concierge gentleman. Car park is a bit of a nightmare. We were queing for aboujt half an hour just to get in it. Was very glad to get in the car park though as Brighton is a nightmare for parking.
Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice and attentive staff. Beds very comfortable. Bath rooms are a bit dated but overall I would recommend and would love to stay again if the price was right.
