10/10 Excellent

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.

a&o Brighton Beach

I booked this hotel simply because of the location to The Lanes. It was perfect, I didm't realise it was a hostel but it didn't matter. The receptionist, Suzie, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeble. We were treated really well, enjoyed the perfect location, it was clean and we slept well. I would stay there again. We were able to leave our lugguage before and after check in and out. Wonderful experience.

Great location

Great location and cheap price, wish they had more pillows as only 1 each isnt enough, also we was on the 3rd floor, the floor above must of been for staff only but the floor boards are very noisy and wake u up early morning by their walking around
Lynsey, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The room was big but no facilities in the room usually you have a kettle also some tea bags and coffee.Also we didn't know it was a hostel and each night the kids would be out shouting, screaming until 3.30am so we didnt get much sleep at all.
Joan, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The check in was super easy, the hotel was clean and has a lovely view. We had Olly at the desk overnight who was very accommodating, super nice and was happy to help with anything we needed, I would very happily stay here again, I definitely reccomend!!
Kayleigh, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel staff were brilliant, the bed was comfortable and the room was perfect, but the guest above us was so noisy kept stomping about the room at all hours of the night we didn’t sleep well at all because of this, I would have definitely come back and recommend this hostel but I can’t because of the above reason I cannot risk not sleeping and then driving long distance again. This is not in any way the fault of the staff!
