Amherst Hotel

Great Independent hotel minutes away from the sea front. What it lacks in views it more then makes up in Quality furnishings.... great breakfast and helpful staff. Best in Brighton by far!!

My girlfriend and I spent two nights in the Amherst (seems just about every decent place in Brighton has a minimum stay of 2 nights over a weekend) and have to say that we were very impressed with the hotel. We stayed in the Junior Suite - which was very clean, very comfortable, TV, DVD, great sleigh bed, comfy chairs, table and all you'd expect.

Had a fantastic stay at the Amherst. We were on the top floor, bit of a trek up the stairs, but worth every step. The room was beautiful, very large, and so clean! couldn't wait to jump in the huge bed!! All front facing rooms have a sea view, room 9 (our room) didn't have a bath, which was a shame, but really didn't detract from a fantastic stay. Staff couldn't do enough for us, and were really sincere. Lots of lovely touches in the room. The breakfast in bed is nearly worth the room rate itself! We have already booked to go back!!
