Kamil
I slept for one night above what I presume to be junkie who shook the entire bunk bed as I was sleeping. The other night was slightly more acceptable I guess. The access to the beach is the only redeeming thing of this hostel.
Donald
Top marks on all counts
Teresa
The whole place was covered in scaffolding. Making it extremely difficult to find. It was advertised as a hotel but it is a hostel. The whole place was shabby and dingy. It was not much cheaper than a good hotel
Stuart Anthony
The view had scaffholding all around the property and they still charged us full price, there was no mattress it was just a thin foam pad that did NOT protect us from bed frame.
The hostel is located center to the club scene and the windows are not sound proofed so you can hear all tye noise. Also to mention the walls are extremely thin so we could hear people talking and moving in their own accommodations which was a problem in the early hours of the morning.
If you are to stay you do need to bring your own items, they provided the bare minimum no kettle no chairs.

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.

Worst stay
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.
Frederick
Uncomfortable bed abd a very basic room.
Sara
Basic but quiet and clean double with private bathroom. Great location.
Katie
Amazing place to stay, great location and friendly staff
David Richard
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!
Jess
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)
Roberto
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.

All good
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.

Hit the spot
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
marcela
Now good people there 😒😒😒
Roberto
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.
Harrison
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.

Ok for somewhere to sleep
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.
Mark
Food is fine, bed is comfortable but the noise was too much coudnt sleep
Chun
such a very old hotel.
Robert
Or room had a spectacular view! Breakfast was good. Everything in the area was so convenient to the hotel. Our only small complaint is that it did not have air conditioning.
Algirdas
The best hostel in Brighton
Imogen
Brilliant location. The room was large with an en-suite. They provided a large fan as it was very hot when we visited.
Jonathan
A&o's chief assets are location, location and location. Their primary business seems to be running a youth hostel for busloads of youngsters. The youngsters can block access to breakfast and run rampant through the lounge. My top floor room had a large, uncomfortable bed but no furniture (until I asked for a chair). The motion sensor in the bathroom, supposed to save energy, kept the light on when the door was open but turned it off while I showered.
Martin
Terrible misleading information.
I booked as I thought and was confirmed as The Brighton Beach hotel. Spent about an hour looking for it. Not surprising as there isn't one. In fact it's called the Royal York and not even a hotel .It's a hostel. Not at all happy about this .. So why was my booking confirmed as The Brighton Beach hotel? Dosnt even exist and is a hostel.Also the man who checked us in was extremely rude and had a terrible attitude. Certainly will never use this site again and I think I should be entitled to some compensation. My review will reflect my feelings .

This is a hostel not a hotel. I rxpe ted a hotel for the price i paid.
Its very basic, not very clean; faded stains on sheet, 'water' marks behind the loo. The workmanship in the bathroom is poor
The bed mattress was thin as well as the pillows, therefore a poor sleep
The only redeeming fa tors were the staff were friendly and we fortunately hada sea view

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.

Great hostel, so-so hotel, don't bring a car
A grand old building, very central, right close to the sea front. A hotel room with a window like this onto the park would cost a bomb.
I made the mistake of booking a hotel based on the map and the price. This isn't a hotel, and doesn't pretend to be a hotel. It is very much a hostel. Don't have a lot of recent hostel experience, but to me it looked a very good hostel. But of course pretty weird for a hotel.
They didn't have my booked room, so offered me this alternative, adding as an incentive to accept it that they would not put anyone else with me in the room. Never had that offered as a hotel feature before, but sure.
It was certainly very clean, but took some work to find lights that would work (had to plug the beds in, some worked, some didn't).
Can't beat the location, except if you are with a car. Brighton hates cars, and hates people with cars, and hates visitors with cars. Closest respectable parking was 15 minute walk away, and more expensive than Heathrow or downtown NYC. A decent walk from the station, but obviously not a problem for most hostel users.
Would I send my kids there with ten of their closest friends? Absolutely. (Though not sure I'd recommend Brighton for anyone any more.) Would I stay there again? Probably not.

Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Satisfied overall but loud bird noises coming from above and strangely the room next door!
Leonie
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.
James
Lovely wee spot
Staff were absolute sweethearts. Great chill atmosphere. Close to everything I wanted to go to. Well recommended.
Emma
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!
Fiona
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.

Akiko
Worst hotel stay ever
Ok, I know it's a hostel. But I've stayed in private rooms in hostels all around the world and this review is in comparison to them. The room was spacious and ok. The bedsheets and pillows had little stains on them which weren't great. The bed was shocking. I could feel the metal frame underneath. The TV reception was intermittent and some of the functions on the remote did not work.
But, I'm well aware that staying in a hostel must b accompanied by elements that are a little rough around the edges, which is why myself and my partner tried to give them the benefit of the doubt.
But the noise from the room above was very loud. We asked the hotel receptionist (who was accommodating) to ask them to be quiet (a group of young boys on a trip), but the noise persisted. And the room window was single glazed and ancient. With a nightclub entrance right outside our window there was no hope of sleep.
So we left at 00:30. Too late to keep complaining as we had to get up early and too tired to keep faith. This is only the second time we have left an establishment because it was so bad, the first time being a place that resembled the subterranean bunker in The Hills Have Eyes. Better photographer than customer services. This place wasn't that bad, but I would never book again.

Not too comfortable
Mattress was really poor and pillows uncomfortable. Some staff really friendly (check in on Friday), others didn't even acknowledge you were communicating with them (black uniform at desk on Monday check out 11am). When checking in I was told check out was 11am, extended my stay by one night (only as the trains back to London were having issues on Sunday) and was not informed check out was earlier on weekdays, so housekeeping walked directly into my room at 10:30 - not housekeepings fault, I should've been informed of this by front desk when I changed.
The upstairs guests were incredibly loud through the night and it was a real disturbance.
Nice bathroom suite, rare to have a bath for that price.
Definitely a budget stay.

What a load of crap
Could not get booked in because I didn't have any photo Id, so travelled 3 hours and a half for nothing, really disappointed.should have a massive warning on the booking form that no id ,no entry.a waste of time bloody time
Lynsey
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

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!!
Hannah
First got there, the man at reception wasn’t the friendliest. Gave us a hostel room when that was not on the booking at all, the room was completely falling apart, extremely dirty pillows and the cleanliness was just awful (photo evidence), could barely sleep due to upstairs people, constantly banging and stomping, we need complain but nothing was done about it. The beds themselves were super uncomfy.
GREGORY
Probably the best value seaview anywhere in Britain, I took the equivalent of the presidential suite (own room, own bathroom, own Lavvie) and I secretly looked down at the sometimes grungey but always sweet natured.
However, it didn’t end well because I didn’t realise that you were supposed to tidy up after yourself and word of my six-days of presidential larging was quickly comported to a young staffer who declared, with an admixture of vengefulness and pity, that I had been summarily put on the banned list. Ironically, this was perhaps the first longer stay premiers where I hadn’t sneaked a ciggie in the bathroom, and yet I was found guilty, perhaps by dint of the ghosts of ashtrays past crying in the air for retribution.
Anyway, it’s a great place, incredible value, lovely people. It’s just that they set a higher moral standard than that which I’m capable of following. And for these reasons, I apologise and wish everyone well.

AMAZING VALUE! AMAZING STAFF! AMAZING LOCATION!
I have to say, our stay at a&o was 11 out of 10! From location, to staff, from room to coffee/bar from seating areas to views and a short (under 5 minutes) walk to the historic Brighton Palace Pier!
I simply cannot fault this lovely (I would so not call) hostel! I am already looking to book for another stay!
The wonderful Isla couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. Thank you again Isla! 💝✨️
The bathroom was TOP NOTCH! The seating areas were simply beautiful and the staff were the cherry on the cake!
In all my years, with a travel/tourism business degree under my belt, I have to say this is the first time my eyes opened to REAL, TRUE, HONEST value for money accommodation!
I know I'm going on and on but honestly, I mean every word! If you don't believe me, try for yourself! Ps. I recommend the Cappuccino and a game of table mini football! 🙌✨️💕

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was clean. Would definitely come back again.
Claudia
Very pleased with location. Super convenient. Will definitely come back. Down side is bed not very comfy for overweight people. , noise isolating minimal. But ok friendly staff.
Tooba
The positive thing about this accommodation is that it is very close to the beach, and the second is the cleanliness of the room. I got a double room which only had one double bed and it was not suitable for two people. And it had a very small window. There was no any fridge. I felt like I was in a prison and I was trying to get out. And because it was located on the main street, it was very crowded and noisy and I couldn't sleep at night.
Evelyn
Had a beautiful sea view with a side of a demolished building. Our stay was overall good for value.
Antonio
It's a very basic room (I knew this as it's a hostel) but the price was good and location is unbeatable.
Florian
This is the best place to stay for people with a lower budget. We booked a room with a private bathroom. It’s in the city centre/next to the beach and the pier! The facilities could use some TLC but it’s not that bad. Would definitely come back here again. Thank you!

Shocking, don’t stay if you want to sleep. Also you have to pay for a towel.

Great hostel! I really love the lounge area! It was chill and quiet and had a wonderful coffee shop vibe. I enjoyed my stay; everything was great. The internet was a bit unsteady on the upper floors, but other than that, I'd stay again for sure.

0 facilities, blood stained curtains, £2.50 towel.
Never given a hotel 1 star till today. : Understand it's a hostel, but booked a private room would atleast expect towels (£2.50 each to borrow) to be free, never in my life had to pay for them anywhere I stayed before. No basics such as hairdryer, shampoo, soap, kettle/drink facilities ect. Really is the bare minimum you get. For a. 4 star accommodation it doesn't add up.
Inside Curtains could easily be cleaned but covered in blood or something aswell. Disgusting!! Bit more effort to clean wouldn't have gone a miss
Weird that they have a wonderful done up bathroom but still charge for towels.
Room was spacious & perfect location decent view atleast.

1 night stay,for football.
was a little disappointed to be honest,the bed was comfortable enough,strangely placed right in front of a large window,meaning i had to have the curtains closed,even in daylight,strange too that the tv was positioned behind the head of the bed,meaning i had to stand to view it.i did not have the tv on for long though,as the lack of signal meant having it on was for the most part,a waste of time.there was no kettle in my room,and in the bathroom,i had a bath,but no shower,this strangely,was right in front of the window too.for the £130 i paid for the night,i would've expected towels to be supplied for free,but,no,(good job i brought my own)these were for hire! staff were very nice and helpful,and i slept very well,however,i certainly couldn't describe my stay as value for money,so,therefor,wouldn't be staying here again.

Have stayed here a couple of times previously and it was just as good! Room was huge, tidy, view was excellent and I think it’s great value for money. Located so close to everything too. Staff were kind and service was good.

Great location, beautiful building, and staff friendly.
Need lockers, more hooks, posters to remind people to listen to videos with their headphones, and if chatting on phone - go to lobby. Lobby chairs could be a bit comfier. More explanation on what can be recycled.
Be great if there was a kitchen.
Bathtub needed a good scrub, looks like it was probably hard to reach. Otherwise seemed pretty clean.
Very noisy outside with pub/club goers until 4 am!

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hostel is kept very clean and is not far from places to eat and drink and very close to the centre of Brighton. The double room we stayed in was quite big and the shower always had hot water but the walls and windows were in need of some TLC, however this did not bother us and would definitely use again.

When we reached there ,was fire everywhere police can’t go or enter the building. Spent whole night on road and got no refund

It states dorms sleeping 6 so I assumed it was 6 beds. Turns out it was 2 beds so had to pay over £100 and couldn’t stay here as there was to many of us. Wasn’t clear when booking and really did cause stress on the evening.

Brilliant for what we needed
It was really clean and updated. The service was great. I’m an avid pillow monster and would have benefited with 2 pillows rather than the one provided. So in future I would bring my own pillow. Other than that it was a lovely clean stay. The bathroom was clean also.
The only thing I’ll mention is because of the location, and the clubs, pubs and events around it was loud but kinda expected it as we were in central brighton.

Brilliant
Huge room with a spacious bathroom (better than a lot of hotels) in a lovely old building. Fantastic sea view. Comfy bed. Staff were great, our room was ready early. Good price compared to other accommodation.
I would very happily stay again.
Things people might not like but which didn't bother me : it is an old building and has some wear and tear. Not double glazed and some noise from club opposite solved by my earplugs. Towels available with a small fee, I took my own. No kettle in room and kitchen unavailable (took a travel kettle). Minimal furnishings.

Perfect, would highly recommend
Cannot fault it one bit. Check in was smooth, reception staff were lovely, and room was perfect. Room was HUGE, we had a fantastic view and the bed was comfy. Will definitely be coming back, great value for money.
