Bring your dog if
- You're happy with a standard hotel-room stay where the property explicitly welcomes dogs
- You're basing yourself in Brighton and Hove / the South Coast and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - guests rate this 8.6/10 overall on booking platforms
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee: £0 per pet - research-verified; confirm at booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 2,219 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 8.6/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
The New Steine Hotel is a genuinely dog-friendly four-star townhouse hotel in the heart of Kemptown, Brighton's most relaxed and dog-loving quarter. It combines a smart, central base a short walk from the seafront with a refreshingly straightforward attitude to dogs, and one small but welcome detail sets it apart: there is no extra charge for bringing your dog.
Dogs stay free in the hotel's pet-friendly rooms, which is unusual for a central Brighton hotel and makes it easy on the budget for a weekend away with your dog. The welcome is warm and personal too - a repeat guest on their fourth visit singled out the friendly, exceptional staff and the immaculate rooms, and mentioned the dog-friendliness as a reason they keep coming back.
The location is ideal for a dog. Kemptown sits right by the seafront, so the beach and promenade are close at hand, and the hotel goes further than most in helping dog owners make the most of the area, with its own guides to dog-friendly Brighton beaches, pubs and restaurants and staff happy to suggest dog-friendly things to do.
A couple of practical notes. The dog-friendly rooms can only be booked by phone rather than online, so call ahead to secure one, and the hotel asks that you do not leave your dog alone in the room. As a townhouse hotel it suits well-behaved dogs who are comfortable in a smaller, characterful setting.
For dog owners who want a central, seafront-adjacent Brighton stay where the dog costs nothing extra and is genuinely welcome, the New Steine is an excellent-value choice and earns a 4.5/5 paw rating. Call the hotel directly to book a dog-friendly room.
