Parking on Kings Road, BN1
My wife booked in to the hotel and they explained where we would find the entrance to the car park, it was easy and pleasantly comfortable to park. Access to the hotel does require extra signage to make it easy but on the whole great and reasonable pricing. and more signage in the hotel to find the car park extrance door

Parking on St James Street, BN2
Easy enough to find if you use the Dorset Street in SatNav. Plenty of spaces when we arrived (late Sun PM), but imagine it could get busy at peak shopping times. Overall good location for city centre, would use again.

Parking on Kings Road, BN1
Located under the Hilton Brighton Metropole so excellent if you are staying at the hotel. The car park is a challenge if you have a larger car. Lots of spaces not big enough. Not cheap but that’s parking in Brighton - nowhere is cheap. We booked in advance and saved some pennies. Advert is confusing. Says you can exit/enter the car park multiple times but then also tells you that you can’t - contacted YPS and they were unable to clarify.

Parking on New Dorset Street, BN1
Sat nav bought us straight to space. Was a bit tight as explained but perfect location as had to pop back to car a number of occasions and easy to do so.
