    The price and location of this hotel were unbeatable. I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious and nicely decorated room I stayed in. Despite a few minor issues like worn carpets and unclean windows, it was still a good value for the price. the hotel's central location made it easy to access the lively town and popular attractions.

    The breakfast. It was not very tasty and the portions provided by the kitchen staff were quite stingy.

    This place was fantastic, highly recommend it. There are so many great restaurants nearby, including an amazing Italian pizza place just a short 5-minute walk away. It's also close to Preston Park and all the excitement.

    I had a fantastic stay at YHA Brighton. The location was superb, just a stone's throw away from the seafront. My double ensuite room was clean, comfortable, and felt luxurious. Despite being a hostel, the room exceeded my expectations. The breakfast, although basic, was satisfying, and the chef was willing to cook to order. The bar downstairs had a stylish ambiance that I enjoyed. I highly recommend this hostel for its great location, comfortable facilities, and clean design.

    We were a bit hesitant about staying at a hostel, but Yha proved us wrong. The location was fantastic, with a beautiful view of the sea and pier from our room. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We were pleasantly surprised by the great value for money. we would definitely recommend Yha to others.

    I recently had a great stay at a hotel in Brighton that exceeded my expectations. the location was fantastic, being right next to the beach and within walking distance of all the city's attractions. Secondly, the service from the staff was exceptional - friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Lastly, the room I stayed in was on the first floor and had a partial view of the beach, which was a lovely touch. The private bathroom was clean and had everything I needed. Plus, the price for the night, including a sea view, was a steal. Oh, and I must mention the breakfast, which was delicious and offered a large range of choices at a reasonable extra cost.

    WiFi could be improved for a better connection.

    The value for money at Yha was exceptional, with a spacious room and beautiful sea view. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the location by the seafront was amazing.

    For breakfast items, it would be great to have a wider variety of fresh fruits available.

    We had a really great time here! The location is perfect - everything is within easy walking distance, and we loved being so close to the beach. The service was also excellent, with a welcome drink upon arrival, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The pet amenities were a nice touch as well, since our furry friend came along on the trip with us. The room itself had everything we needed, including ironing facilities and a comfortable shower. We also appreciated the garden furniture outside.

    We've been recommending this place to everyone.

    For the price we paid, we got great value with a tidy and spacious room, complete with nice decoration and an amazing view. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the Laines and the beach. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay.

    The hotel breakfast menu could be improved by offering a wider variety of options.

    This hotel offers excellent value for money with its affordable prices and attention to detail. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, making our stay enjoyable. The location is perfect, right at the boulevard where all the city's activities are. We had a room with a sea front view, providing a breathtaking sight. The beds were incredibly comfy, ensuring a good night's sleep. Additionally, breakfast was provided at the hostel in the morning, which was a great start to our day.

    The noise from the street, but this is expected in such a central location.

    The hotel is situated just a stone's throw from the pier, allowing for easy access to all the popular tourist spots. The staff was friendly and informative, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that our room had its own bathroom. each bed had a dedicated light and socket, which proved to be quite convenient.

    The thin walls and doors made for a noisy night's sleep. The raucous activity outside and in the corridors seemed to carry through the walls.

    We had a great time at the hostel near the beach! the location was perfect for us, just a short walk to the sand and the sea. Our room was comfortable and clean, with plenty of space for all our gear. the staff were friendly and always ready to help, and we appreciated the breakfast they provided each morning. Plus, the nearby facilities were super handy for our leisure needs. We had a blast!

    That the bed was a bit creaky. that didn't bother us too much, and everything else was great.

    The breakfast was included and the coffee was superb. the location is unbeatable as it is in the middle of the city.

    The noise levels were unbearable. We could hear everything happening outside and it kept us up all night.
