During my stay at Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Brighton, I experienced a blend of comfort and mediocrity. My room was spacious and beautifully decorated, featuring a large bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower, which I loved. However, I found the dining experience underwhelming, particularly the communication regarding meal inclusion. Overall, the hotel has potential with its great ambiance and location, but it needs to refine some areas to enhance the guest experience.
