Hostel in Brighton

“Many people are there long term and I thought it was interesting that they requested I paid via bank transfer but I was having issues and they were very accommodating and let me pay in person. Staff is kind and helpful. There wasn’t lockers for storing your bags in the rooms. But the location is so phenomenal!”

“The treatment of the staff was very good, I had some problem regarding the reservation and John personally helped me through mail to solve the problem. When we arrived at the hostel everything was super good, the room was very good. The only thing was not very good was the floor and some hole in the wall but for the rest everything was fine. The kitchen is perfect, however I didn’t use it. The location is amazing, you can get to the city center in 15 minutes by foot. Thanks John”

“Amazing Hostel, couldn’t ask for a better location. Friendly staff. Massive common area with full bar, snacks, cheap breakfast. Steps from the pier, fish & chip shops and nightclubs. Extra shout out to Kate, Marlo and Dan, truly great hosts!! Would leave 6 stars if I could. The staff are fabulous and answered my millions of questions with huge smiles. Definitely the best hostel experience I’ve had in the UK. Will be booking here any time I’m in Brighton!!!”

“A great cheap alternative to stay in Brighton, clean spacious rooms, we went with a group and had the entire floor so we had the kitchen area to ourselves which was great for drinks before and after a night out.”

“★★★★★ Kipps Brighton: The Best Location for the Price—A Perfect Base. This place delivers exactly what you need for an affordable and convenient stay in Brighton. You absolutely cannot beat the location: it is right opposite the Royal Pavilion and a short, easy walk to the Lanes, the Pier, and the seafront. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the pricing offers exceptional value considering you are in the heart of the city. While it is a basic setup (more of a functional guest house than a luxury hotel), the whole place is well-maintained and provides a peaceful, comfortable space to sleep. The Real Highlights: • Prime Central Spot: Perfect for tourists—everything is walkable. • The Team: Staff are consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. • Great Value: Excellent price point for this location. ⚠️ Local Guide Pro Tip: This is a self-check-in facility, so be sure to have your entry codes ready before you arrive.”

“Fantastic for the price. Ok its a budget hotel or top of the line hostel. Comfortable beds. I was in a 6 bed dorm. Large toilet/shower room in the dorm not down the corridor. A big +. Shower was good, reasonably powerful and good temperature control. Extremely clean. The staff noticed my disability and moved me to a bottom bunk without me asking. There was a lift which was working well. I didn't have the breakfast. So can't comment. Location was 50 meters from both the old burnt out pier and the 360 "ride. Maybe 120m from the GRAND HOTEL”

“Fantastic location. We paid for a budget room, and it was well equipped and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly.”

“The venue has been hired it for a private event and is really well equipped. Clean and good standard. Nice walk up to the golf course with great views over Eastbourne. Lovely surroundings. East dean is a lovely area.”

“Really lovely place to stay. Staff are so wonderful and friendly. We stayed in the bell tent which is very large and spacious and well maintained. There’s plenty of space for children to run around outside and explore. Indoors there’s also a large lounge and quiet room as well as a well stocked kitchen. Breakfast was plentiful and really tasty. The train is a 3 minute walk away and takes 10 mins to the seafront (although they is only 1 train an hour so time it well). There are also lots of lovely walks straight from the YHA.”

“So magical camping here. I feel like this is a well kept secret. The kind staff, the helpful service, the affordability, the tasty breakfast, the spectacular views. I felt very safe staying as a solo female traveller and will definitely return. I was able to work in the café and the staff were so kind and considerate as I had to stay up late for a deadline. When I wasn't working, staff and residents engaged in hearty conversation. Good humoured Sally, in particular, made me feel at home. You'd be hard pushed finding somewhere this beautiful, peaceful, clean and well run for the same price. I'm a proud member of the YHA after this incredible introduction to the organisation. If this is what the YHA is all about then I am an unofficial ambassador for the organisation!”

“Great location and great value for money! The staff was so kind and gave me great advices on where to eat! My room was spotless and the beds are comfy. The area is lovely and so close to the seafront and it’s in the heart of the queer scene. I was a bit skeptic after the reviews but I have to say this place exceeded my expectations and I’ll definitely come back!”

“I am writing this review on behalf of a friend W Barclay as he does not have access to a computer. He stayed at the Savoy Court Hotel for two & a half months & said it is a fantastic hotel, very clean & tidy, serves great food, a magical breakfast for the price. The staff are excellent & he sends kind regards & many thanks to Sajjad, Terry, & Mohad & hopes to see you all next year so restock the bar!!!!”

“Lovely B&B. Very kind & pleasant owners. Breakfast was wonderful, accommodation was fantastic. Will be coming here again.”

“Having stayed here for one week and booked another two, I am very pleased with my stay, the facilities, the staff and the atmosphere. I find it surprisingly clean and comfortable considering other hostels I have stayed in at a similar price. The included breakfast is basic but saves a lot of money and hassle. The en-suite bathroom and friends I have made in my dorm make it seem as though I am staying in a hotel instead of a budget hostel. It's running is efficiently carried out by friendly staff. The hostel has a healthy amount of newcomers and long-stayers, creating a homely atmosphere that is also vibrant, giving occasion to chance meetings and spontaneous gatherings. I am sincerely grateful to have chosen this hostel and would recommend it for anyone looking for a decent place to stay for a low price in Brighton.”

“Cheap and cheerless...definitely one of the cheaper places I have seen around but my friend and I were both happy with our twin room. Plumbing made a weird noise whenever used, doors slammed way too easily (I must have slammed the door so many times because of those overactive closers), but you get what you pay for. If you aren't looking for the Ritz and you intend to spend most of your time out of the room except when you are sleeping, why worry about how beautiful the place is? It had a bed, it had a (passably clean) tiny toilet, it had a kitchen (no comment, didn't look or use it), it had a bathroom with electric shower (plenty of space for a shower cubicle, but they chose not to)...and you can see the sea from outside...beggars can't be choosers. Yes, the staff were a little bit standoffish, but they aren't exactly being paid top rate so people should quit complaining and go elsewhere if they want excellent service...me, I needed them twice, at check in and check out, so I didn't care.”
