Friendly staff good choice at breakfast. Ordered hot breakfast from your table which was lovely to be waited on. Room spacious. Hotel handy for walking into town and on the beach. Lovely view of the beech from the hotel room. There was limited parking at the hotel but we got a space each time.

Fabulous hotel directly on the seafront

We enjoyed a wonderful night in the Brudenell to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. It is a lovely modern and clean hotel set on the promenade with fabulous beach and sea views. The room had everything we required for a comfortable nights stay and bed was very comfy. Staff were all very friendly and helpful and made you feel very welcome. We enjoyed a very tasty breakfast. We will definitely be returning as had such a lovely stay.

Lovely hotel right by the sea

We only stayed one night at the Brudenell and it was lovely. It is a bit pricey but it was worth it. The hotel is modern and located right on top of the beach. There is an outside terrace where drinks can be served and the restaurant also overlooks the beach. The rooms are modern, fairly spacious and clean. They provide complimentary water, The bed was large and comfortable. The staff are polite and friendly. We would recommend this hotel,

The room was clean and comfortable. We had a nice view of the countryside even though we were not facing the sea. The staff were nice and friendly. The only downside was that the parking facilities were quite limited and the space was always tight.

Felt more like a hotel for dogs!

Unfortunately our stay wasn’t up to the standard we was expecting, although the staff were all Lovely and attentive our room was cold with ripped bedding and was noisy at times, the food in the restaurant was disappointing in that the fish and chips tasted frozen fish and we expected fresh. There was also far too many dogs in the hotel , I think we were the only people there who didn’t have a dog however this does seem to be getting the norm everywhere! The hotel is in a great location and Aldeburgh is a lovely place for exploring.
