For a budget hotel where you can rest your head, this is a good place to go. The bed was nice and comfy and it wasn't as unclean as the past reviews make it out to be. Perhaps they have improved since then?
Lena, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Remember you get what you pay for this is one of the cheapest rooms in Kemtown Brighton but it was ideal for what we needed it’s not as bad as the other reviews make out - if your on a tight budget it’s about your only choice & it’s good value for money excellent location.

Catfishing rooms

We arrived at the hotel confused on how to get in, you have to call a number on the side of the hotel to get checked in, The man who showed us in didn’t seem very welcoming at first but livened up after a few days of bumping into him and asking questions, be prepared for dodgy windows and bad shower pressure, it’s a good hotel for a short stay although the rooms look different online

Window was broken,carpet smell like sick,shower was too hot to go in.no parking the only good thing was the location.
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room looks much better in the photos than it does in person, my room hadn’t been cleaned at 3pm when I turned up to check in. I had my door knocked on dead on 11am to make sure I was leaving (not a problem but unnecessary). Not bad for somewhere to stay after a day of drinking but not somewhere to take the girlfriend for a romantic weekend

Cheapest hotel in Brighton - tolerable

The cheapest room to stay in brighton that is not a hostel for a reason. Very small, old-style furnishing, room heating can’t be controlled, it comes and goes for hours if not days at a time. For the cheapest rooms, bathroom is not private. However, clean, service is ok, and security locks all work well. Internet is solid for everyday use, not highspeed. Also 3 minute walk to the beach, and a local co op right outside. I would suggest innit saltwater which is another budget hotel nearby, it strikes a good balance between low cost and cosiness with a much more modern and stylish feel

Room without a view

Good location. No rail in the wardrobe, shower cubicle dirty and poor water pressure. Curtain nailed to the rail and didn't fit the window so everyone could see in, complained but nothing was done. Furniture painted and chipping off, only a couple of lights working. Would not stay here again.

Read the reviews! Attempts to contact the property regarding the issues went ignored by the property. Received automated responses. Avoid.

Would not recommend even tho it is cheap mold all on the walls and ceilings and walls did not reflect pictures online

Very disappointed

The room was really shabby only one lightbulb worked the shower was scorching hot so could not wash my hair the floor in the bathroom was uneven the blinds were broken so we couldn’t close them and we had one flat pillow each so ended up with terrible neck ache
Sarah, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting and dangerous

Didn't enjoy. Wouldn't come back again. Shower was filthy with black mould and the walls were covered in stains. I also nearly fell down the stairs because one of the steps is broken, but hidden by carpet. Absolutely rank
Craig, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place was so filthy and not secure (lock was dodgy) we could not stay there. We had to use a credit card and go elsewhere. Incredibly disappointed and disgusted. I expect to receive a full refund.
Charis, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

My shower had hair and dirt in it there was mould in my cupboard the shower didn’t work and nobody came to fix it after me calling six times and then had random people trying to get in my room in the morning poor staff and management there is no communication and no hygiene would not recommend
Jodie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

no staff / no email to advise this and key was in the door, which was open although was supposed to be in combinastion lock

Never again

I would never return here. The photos on websites are not accurate and very misleading. The room looked shoddy and tired. The bedbase was way too large for the bed and had peeling paint. There was a picture on the wall hanging upside down. The socket by the bed was hanging loose.The television was not working. Running my fingers along the inside of the handbasin I could feel a thin layer of scum. The general impression was one of nobody really caring about the guest. Please look at the photos as proof.

The worst hotel I've used in 30 years travelling!

I was shocked that such an establishment exists in modern Britain! It was filthy, stains all over the badly-fitted carpets, shower in the room had not been cleaned (evidence of urine in shower, as there is no toilet in the room). The shower didn't work and in desperation, I searched and found a shower two floors down, also filthy, but at least with a trickle of water of a bearable temperature. There was no lock on the door to this shower. Out of 5 lights, only two worked, so no light above sink. The bedding was horrid, pillows full of cheap, lumpy synthetic material, like my dog pulls out of his toys. The smell was awful. It is a disgrace that Hotels.com have this place on their books. I met a woman in tears at the entrance - she hadn't slept either. A humiliating experience!

The worst hotel that I’ve ever stayed in! The first room I was given was small, dirty and unkempt, the mattress was non existent and smaller than the bed frame, it looked like it was recovered from the local tip. We couldn’t lock the door so we contacted customer support that let us wait 1h in the room, they didn’t arrive so I called them again and asked to be moved to another room. Room 2 was as horrible and dirty as the first one. There was no holder for the toilet brush which was left propped against the toilet bowl, water was leaking out of the shower as the drain was blocked and overflowing onto the floor. the sink was blocked. The blinds were broken when we tried to open the windows. I wouldn’t even imagine that the local homeless people would like to live in it. I felt more like I was in a drugs den than a hotel. I paid 63 pounds per night to stay there, I will be asking for a refund because the state of the room was deplorable!

2 nights of hell

**** First of all the description about the hotel and their rooms, here on hotel.com site is incorrect. We were looking forward to our stay, as soon as we entered the room, we couldnt get through from one room to the next as it was so tight, we are left with bruises on our legs and arms. Rooms have broken locks. No daily house keeping, it is every 3 days. Secondly the pictures of the hotel oyo are misleading. I paid over £100 pn for a family room, and expected to have at least decent room if not a quality one. The pillows provided were dead flat, i had to use two towels to raise my head! Couldn't make tea at anytime because cups looked so dirty. Fungus in the bathroom, damp i the rooms, my kids started to feel sick after a night there. Filthy carpet, Bathroom window sealed off and no fan in there either, so eachtime we used the toilet it smelled. Dust everywhere, no hair dryer in the rooms. I had to kill three spiders crawling around. Rubbish was left in the room until we stayed, when i rang the customer services for help they simply said 'we are sorry there is no one in the area to help you, i am in London and cannot leave the desk and come to you in Brighton' I will be writing a complaint. Everything written in their room description is false. Be warned ⚠️ see the latest pictures i took. Do not waste your hard earned money. **** BECAREFUL. More photos i will add in a different reiview
