We've just got back from a couple of nights stay at The Royal Albion inBrighton. We love going down to Brighton and had a long weekend off work together so thought we'd have a look to see if we could get a cheap couple of nights. We went on Travelsupermarket.com which showed us this hotel through lastminute.com at £86 for two nights (Sun & Mon) including breakfast and a free bottle of wine, and knowing it's location we booked straight away.

Brighton to many is London-by-the-sea to others the destination for a dirty weekend. I have livedinBrighton for over 20 years, I even tried to leave once but soon realised what a mistake I?d made!

*HISTORY*
Up until the 16th century Brighton was small but important fishing village with a population of 400 fishermen. But within a generation in the early 17th century Brighton became the largest town in Sussex.
