We stayed here for a night. Located in the city centre, close walk to the main attractions. Check in and check out was smooth. Very helpful and courteous staff. The property allows you to store luggage while you explore the city.

Good Hostel

Nice hostel, right in front of the pier, even if the building is a bit old. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is also a nice bar. Bedroom and bathroom were of a good size but the TV was useless because placed behind the bed and there was no shower, only bath.

Great affordable option

Really welcoming receptionist, our private room was a very decent size and even had a sea view which was brilliant for the affordable price! Our en suite only had a bath and no shower which is really the only negative I can think of (and to some this could be a positive)

Good for a short trip. Location and poor quality glazing means that outside noise can be very loud depending on nightlife. Overall, great location in the heart of Brighton.
