The Iron Duke Pub & Hotel

This is by no means a nice hotel, it is dirty, gruby, smelly and noisy.

Our rooms were dirtys with dirty towels, dirty valances and stained carpets. One of the rooms even had broken glass on the floor. The rooms and beds slope down. The bathroom carpets were awful, the showers black, the sinks bubble every time someone uses there own sink. The smell from the drains was foul. I would never ever recomend this to any one. Some of the guests were taking showers at 3am the shower rooms were next to our en suites. It was noisy into the early hours.

The traditional pub is your reception, the fire is running and you can check in with a pint in your hand.

You are in good hands at this hotel, kind hosts who take care about their guests. Good for people who like something personal. Very close to the beachside.

friendly staff who made us very welcome.very nice clean rooms and late bar to chill out in.a big thank you to Peter and his staff will be back next year.

Just off the seafront right on the border of where trendy Brighton meets charming Hove ths is a real find. Very spacious and clean family room at an an incredibly reasonable price. Paid extra for the full English breakfast which set us up nicely for the day and their Sunday roasts were out of this world.

Our 5 year old was made most welcome in the bar area not just by the really friendly staff but also by all of the locals, as were we. Who needs a concierge to make recommendations on places to visit or eat when everyone we spoke to in the bar was willing to share their favourite with you over a very decent pint of real ale.

We will most definitely come back again for the weekend or maybe longer.

The rooms are basic but have stayed in simpler rooms in larger more expensive hotels.

Staff were very accommodating even when we were a bit needy. Room was large and nice and clean, shower was modern even if a little too hot and furious. Right by the beach and walking distance to town. Would nt recommend it to older people as theres no lift and its a bit of a walk up the stairs. Definitely staying again next time we're in Brighton as its the best value for money i've stayed in so far.

Have stayed in pubs before and definitely do not expect perfection, but this was not very nice. Rooms a bit like hospital ward rooms, stained carpet, cracked sink, shower was cold in the morning and was hard to control. Told the chap in the bar in the morning about the shower who replied 'well I had a hot shower it was working 10 minutes ago'. Well bully for you .... on the plus side the sheets seemed to be clean and the room was reasonably peaceful and the actual pub itself was nice. Would not go back there again to stay......

Our stay started with a very friendly welcome. All the staff were great, the double room we had was huge with a double shower and sea views. Nothing was too much trouble and we would definitely recommend this place to any one.

we thought easy reach for everything - near the saefront,there was an awful smell in our room coming from the drains.we had hot water in both hot n cold taps the shower went from being hot to stop in matter of minutes,we thought the toilet was going to overflow every time it was flushed,our friends found a takeaway in their wardrobe which had gone mouldy!! but in the end it added to a good weekend!!
