Blackboys Vacation Rentals

"The hotel is in a great location - quiet but right near the station and centre. Comfy beds and hot shower, lovely staff. Breakfast was good and in a nice setting. Exactly what you need."

"Ideal position by the sea ! Nice room"

"Was told my room has a nice view, turn out it was looking towards the back not the sea. It's advertised as parking available but turned out to be a ncp parking with reduced fees."

"Clean and comfortable. "

"View from the room was outstanding! Definitely worth visiting the hotel for this. Big comfy bed also. Location great on the seafront. Could hear noise from outside / other guests, but personally this didn't bother me. Hotel in general is tired around the edges, could do with a spruce up especially for the price you pay. Disappointing dinner in the restaurant - much better on offer in Brighton, would venture out. "

"Excellent hotel have stayed here 3 times never been disappointed. Will definitely stay again."

"The apts are in need to a face lift! Tired and very tatty exterior. Mai. Hotel as ok as I remember it, and leisure club good as ever. There was also no heating apart from a wheelie radiator which I took into bedroom. There’s also no salad or pasta bowls, which is a little inconvenient. But I could see the sea out of my window so go 2 day it worked "

"Everything was great about our stay. The room 117 was lovely. Big bright and lovely sea views."

"A Fantastic Stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole Just back from an outstanding two‑night stay at the Brighton Metropole from Friday to Sunday, and I can honestly say it exceeded our expectations. Brighton was blessed with glorious sunshine all weekend, which made our stay even better — but the hotel itself was the real highlight. A special thank‑you to Kostas (Guest Services – DTHBM) for arranging Room 307 for us. The room was excellent: spacious, comfortable, and complete with a balcony offering stunning sea views across Brighton beach. Waking up to that view was unforgettable. The manager and wider team were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay. The pool facilities were great, perfect for relaxing, and the Met Bar had a friendly, relaxed atmosphere — ideal for casual drinks and dining. Service there was super friendly and attentive, and we really enjoyed spending time there. A big shout‑out as well to the reception team, especially Erik and (I believe) Ellie, for their warm service and, of course, the free warm cookies — a small touch that makes a big difference. The hotel’s location is perfect, offering easy access to Brighton’s attractions, the seafront, and everything the city has to offer. I can absolutely recommend the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole, and I’m hoping to book another one‑night stay soon, budget permitting. A brilliant experience from start to finish. "
