Amsterdam Hotel Brighton Seafront in Brighton

We were treated awfully. The food we got was horrible, chips were worse than McDonald's chips, and the meat had no taste to it. We complained and were offered new food but explained we didn't have the time. Instead we were given just 20% off our bill (having only eaten maybe a fifth of what was on our plates) and then talked down to by the manager.

My partner is also in a wheelchair and aside from when we entered to begin with they were not given any assistance with the heavy doors in and out of the building even when staff were nearby.

A complaint has been put in. The only saving grace was our server who was happy to help but could only do as her manager advised.

I went along with my peers for dinner and some of us ordered a beer too. They needed to check we were above 18 years old and therefore asked for our IDs. I presented them my Spanish identity card to which they replied that they needed something from the uk which of course is completely absurd as I was simply visiting Brighton that week. I not only gave them proof of my age with my ID, but also provided them with my Driving License (which in the EU is the same document for every citizen) and my UK student card. They wouldn’t accept any arguing they needed my passport. Besides, they threatened to kick me and my friends out if they dared to get a beer for me with their British IDs. I have contacted the authorities and they have said they will investigate my claims further. Good luck after Brexit

Used to be great, now generic and over-priced.

Red Roaster used to feel like a place for the community, it had a true Brighton feel. It was the place to go for a hot chocolate - thick, creamy and real.
Now you just get an average hot chocolate, the same as could be got anywhere. The coffee is still great, but the atmosphere has gone. Local art has been replaced by fake ivy and great cakes by expensive brunch.
The only positive in this very disappointing renovation is the much needed work on the toilets.
