a&o Brighton Beach

No sea view. Expensive room. Great staff and loved the bar.

Staff members were really good and so were the people that were staying there. Very friendly, very chatty and very kind and considerate

Staff were welcoming. Room was ok but bathroom could be better

No bedside lights, no chair, very basic but spacious and clean.

Everything was clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect for a weekend in Brighton.

Easy check in and out, clean room, friendly helpful staff!

To be honest it was the worst stay I had at a hostel to date. There was hardly a beach view but that hardly matter anymore when I could barely get any sleep both nights I stayed there. The worst part is that the room was facing a club just outside our window, so the noise was constant from late evening to around 4 am. To add to it, I could see the window in our room had an area where it had been smashed and taped together, so there was virtually no noise proofing. The room we were in was also the last one on the floor and the wi-fi barely reached us with the exception one corner.

Uncomfortable bed abd a very basic room.

Basic but quiet and clean double with private bathroom. Great location.

Amazing place to stay, great location and friendly staff

First up the Hotel staff are great, friendly helpful and always cheerful. Second the Hotel is in a great location, minutes from beach, pier or town. The hotel was once a very grand building and keeping these buildings maintained are a nightmare and expensive so will never match the standards of a modern build hotel in terms of noise etc so the hotel could be described as tired on the inside. the room was large but limited storage space, but it was clean, tidy with fresh linen and towels. bathroom was nice -good shower and bath. there was no tea/coffee facilities in the room but you could buy beverages at the bar. there was a good feel about the hotel . Overall it would not take much to improve the experience- clean the bedroom windows as i am sure there was a view there, if your in the en suite room maybe a kettle, couple of chairs. it was much better then the hostel experience my girlfriend thought she was getting (no negative experiences to report) and again location and staff was everything- i think you get for what you pay in towns like Brighton and this was reflected in this.Would i use again?????....Maybe!

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)

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.

Good, staff good. Kitchen without cutlery on a couple of occasions.

Unfortunately the mattress was like a school gym mat so we slept on the floor. The shower was amazing and customer service too. 6am fire alarm wake up call was not fun.

Basic hotel, but spectacular view from room with lovely bed, and ideally situated by the pier, bathroom not cleaned properly, but for our 1 night stay it hit the spot

Now good people there 😒😒😒

The personel entered the room at 11pm without knocking the door, my partner was terrified and it felt like a really bad invasion of privacy.

Great, affordable stay in a perfect location. We booked a private double which was affordable, spacious and clean. The check in process was easy and the young local fellow at the desk was fantastic and sorted us out with recommendations. The location is incredible for the price. Seconds walk to the pier and loads of great venues around for food and drinks. The communal kitchen facility was well equipped, but perhaps in need of a good clean. Overall a very pleasant stay that I would definitely recommend.

The hotel is clean , however the room definitely needs a bit of TLC. There are holes in the walls, Paint chipping off all over the room, windows rotting. The bed was clean, though, so if you are literally looking for a place to sleep, it is ok. As a heavy sleeper who can sleep through noise, I slept fine, however my boyfriend unfortunately couldn't sleep due to needing to keep the window open and the noise outside the hotel in the steeet keeping him up all night, which couldn't be muffled with ear plugs. Have to say the team at reception were really friendly and helpful, which was great.
