The hotel was in a great location, right on the seafront and within a 10 minute straightforward walk to the Lanes. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and had a higher professionalism than I've encountered recently in London hotels! The room itself was spacious, clean and with a gorgeous view of the seafront and pier. I would definitely stay there again.

Great place!!!

Great stay and location! Thing to remember is there is no elevator/lift. It’s all stairs so if you’re on the 4th floor you have a good climb. Staff was friendly and excellent!!

We loved the Drake! It was in a great location, the room was comfortable and the staff was amazing. There is no lift so you have to be able to climb stairs.

The hotel was ideally situated. A short walk from the town centre but far enough away to be quiet.
