The hotel is a mixed bag with its vibrant atmosphere due to the loud hen parties but offers well-equipped rooms with breakfast included. The location is superb for those wanting easy access to Brighton, although it's a long walk from Hove station. The dining experience is wonderful but comes at an additional cost, and the service is friendly and accommodating despite the noisy mornings.

I was delighted by the spacious and well-maintained room with breathtaking sea views and top-notch amenities. However, the unexpected view of a circus tent right outside was a slight letdown for the price paid. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially with parking and early breakfast for marathon runners.

I couldn't believe the amazing room I was given on the 5th floor with stunning bird's eye sea views and perfect amenities, surpassing any room I've stayed in before. The room was not only spacious and clean but also newly decorated, comfortable, and had everything I could ask for. The hotel had a full level access shower, making it suitable even for those with mobility impairments.

My stay at the Princes Marine hotel was delightful, with lovely sea views from the room and friendly staff. The rooms were nicely furnished, had a powerful shower, and offered plenty of breakfast choices. The only downside was that the room was warm due to the flat roof and vibrated slightly when the lift moved.

The dining experience was mixed. While there were plenty of choices and the food was fresh and hot, it was not worth the high prices. Some dishes fell short of expectations based on the menu descriptions.

The hotel offers free car parking and has the advantage of being off the road. However, some areas need modernizing soon to enhance the overall experience.
