Downs Hotel Stanmer

Review by hotel critic

As an archaeologist who’s wandered through ancient ruins, I must say my recent stay at this charming hotel in Brighton was a delightful gourmet interlude. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly, making the check-in a seamless experience. The room’s decor caught my eye, blending comfort with a touch of modern elegance, and our housekeeper ensured it remained immaculate throughout our stay. We dined in the hotel restaurant, where the culinary team demonstrated impressive innovation. The menu featured fresh ingredients sourced locally, which resonated with my appreciation for authentic flavors. I was particularly pleased with how the staff accommodated my dietary requests; they remade my dish promptly and with a smile, reflecting their commitment to guest satisfaction. The hotel’s location offers access to a lively pub, enhancing the experience without overwhelming noise in our room. Just a short drive from the beach, it’s a hidden gastronomic gem. I left feeling well-fed and content, eager to return for another culinary journey.
