A wonderful building with exquisitely decorated and presented rooms that are kept in a superb state. The app was easy to use and provided a lot of information. Guides we’re available for questions in every room. The exhibits were very interesting.

What a fantastic experience. The Royal Pavilion was so exotic and full of splendour. It must have been stunning when it was first built as it took our breath away - it has aged very elegantly due to the hard work of all the staff concerned. Definitely worth visiting.

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit and would recommend the audio guide. Thought it was very interesting and was totally unaware that queen Victoria sold it off in 1850! Gonna google George IV and his womanising antics!

Definitely worth visiting - a window into a historic period. The audio guide is worth getting since there's not a lot of signage in the rooms; museum staff in each room can answer questions. The influences from abroad that directed the decor were very interesting; very well restored and maintained; each room has so much to see, with little details. Extremely helpful staff at the ticket desk who took a fair amount of time to answer my questions about buying used books, buses and more. Very kind of them, and always fun to connect with locals!

Very beautiful inside, even though it is over the top opulence. It's a glimpse into the mind of a man who lived for luxury and not much else. Some lovely art. Good audio tour. And your ticket lasts a year.

Such an excellent afternoon! This isn't usually my type of thing and I usually end up getting bored but this was totally the opposite! Everything is in such great condition. I highly recommend getting the audio guide (you can easily share this between 1/2 other people too if you turn the volume up!). The kitchen was so impressive!

I had been wanting to do this visit for ages and wasn’t disappointed. Learned a lot about a historical era of our royalty of which I knew little. Exhibits were colourful and fresh. Particularly impressed by the staff who were friendly and knowledgeable and if asked something they didn’t have an answer for would call on colleagues to assist. They were clearly enthusiastic and enjoyed their work and interaction with the public. Audio guide is useful. Gives a good summary of each room without being over long.

I had not been to the Royal Pavilion for years. It has been refurbished. Everything was bright, clean and sparkling. It is well worth a visit, if you are in Brighton. The Chinoiserie decor is very attractive. In better weather there is a balcony for lounging in the sun with a great view over the local park. Close to many good and reasonable place to eat. Easy bus ride from the station. Toilets at each level. There are two floors.

It was a drizzly grey day so we decided to visit the Pavillion as it was indoors. It's Indian heritage architecture on the exterior leads one to expect Indian-style decor inside but instead it is partly Chinese and partly what Western craftsmen of the time imagined Chinese decor to be! It is not so extensive as to wear you out and therefore you can really enjoy a wander around as there are not that many rooms. The place had been stripped by Queen Victoria early in her reign as it was not one of her favourite residences and had fallen into disrepair. The building was sold to Brighton town and the place was open to the public. It's only in latter part of the 20th century that sympathetic restoration started taking place rather than just revarnishing fittings and due to the generosity of Queen Elizabeth, and now King Charles, many of the original fixtures and contents have been lent for permanent display which brings the place to life. The chandeliers are magnificent and the restoration of the original wallpapers and recreation of carpeting and materials has been painstaking but so worth it. The kitchen has been redone so it actually looks as if it's being used, with (fake) carcasses and veg and fruit laid out in dishes, along with exotic desserts which gives one a better idea of how the room worked for the servants. There are volunteers in each room who are happy to provide full detail about the Prince Regent and his life there as well as other snippets of interesting information. There is also a large painting by John Constable on display which was generally unknown to be there. We passed through the gift shop on our way out and I must say it had a very tasteful and extensive selection of items to purchase, very tempting and a nice change from the usual tourist tat one can find in many stately residences. Unfortunately we didn't have time to take afternoon tea in the tea shop but hope to do so on a return visit, preferably on a sunny day which would show off the place to its full magnificence.

A lovely long linger around this lovely place. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly and I enjoyed the experience. I learned some more history, and marvelled at the decorative features. Especially the music room. I also enjoyed the kitchen and dining room. I must have been here for 3 hours.
