| There''s old-style glamour in the original chequered flooring, high ceilings and ornate chandeliers of this quiet Victorian villa, but recent refurbishment adds a modern twist: contemporary furnishings in rich colours. The work of local artists is showcased here, giving the hotel a distinctive feel.
The 11 rooms vary in size and colour, from cosy and functional single rooms to almost palatial four-poster bed deluxe rooms, decorated in regal red. Even the more compact rooms feel uncluttered.
Full English breakfast or vegetarian alternatives are taken in a traditional and homely dining room - Radio 2 plays in the background.
Built in 1826, this seaside hotel is opposite Brighton Pier, a short walk from the Royal Pavilion, and has sea views. It offers free Wi-Fi in the public areas.
Royal Albion Hotel has a restaurant, a lounge and a bar. All have views of the English Channel and offer traditional food all day.
Each room at the Royal Albion is unique and has a bathroom with a bath, a shower and a hairdryer. Guests can also enjoy tea/coffee making facilities and satellite TV in their room.
Gatwick Airport is a 30-minute drive away, or 45 minutes by train. The main bus/coach station is just around the corner and Brighton Railway Station is just one mile from the hotel.
