1- In front of the beach ! 2- Beautiful & comfortable lobby with part has sofas the another tables & chairs in front of the bar & they have many games and kids corner. 3- They have a toilet in the ground floor 4- Very quiet place 5- Very nice staff especially the black man. Except the tall blonde woman 6- clean & not a very old building 7- amazing price! 8- have a bar and sells coffee 9- some rooms has a bath 🥰 10- you can check out late and pay 11.50 for it! 11- I liked their security system: nobody can enter the building after 8:00 pm without having the key.

1- They don't have a wardrobe which is not suitable for long trips. I think will be perfect if they put it in all rooms an will earn more money !! 2- They only have one kind of chips in the bar & don’t sell a lot of drinks & nothing special in there coffee I would not order it again 3- check out is too early 10:00 pm 4- they didn’t clarify all their policies to me like: I have to pay before 10 morning if would like to check out late. 5- breakfast is expensive. 6- double rooms has a TV but without a remote control, when I asked them for one they gave me a wrong one it wasn’t working 😅 7- they forgot to put a shampoo in my room.

We booked a private room and it was super spacious which was awesome. Like crazy spacious though. Dance parties, yoga routines, you name it that room could do it. Staff were friendly and it was as comfy as you'd expect hostel beds to be, and it was clean! And secure! Felt good.

Price hurt a bit. $160AUD for a Youth Hostel is a lot of money for one night (everything is expensive in the UK these days though) We also stayed on a night where Brighton Fringe was happening and because of the event we had a dance club in our room. It was very loud and we slept terribly. Nothing YHA can do about that though. Oh and the bathroom shower drain gurgled in a really funny way. I guess it was having its own small dance party!

The conditions of the room had seriously exceeded my expectations for the price I paid for. The bathroom felt really modern, and the room I was in was very spacious and comfortable. I also liked how safe it felt considering that I had to scan my card thrice just to enter my room! Highly recommended for any budget/youth travellers.

Considering that the building is near a main junction, I highly recommend you to bring some ear plugs for sleeping. The noise of the traffic can be quite unbearable because of its location. Otherwise, the building was very safe and welcoming for me.

The female only dorm was perfect for my solo travel. I was able to feel safe and relax comfortably. I was happy to have a shower and bathroom within the private room. I also able to use the conference room for some privacy for a professional ZOOM meeting. It was nice to be able to storage my luggage for free prior to check as long as I was comfortable with the risk of leaving it in a general locked room.

Wifi for me was terrible unless in the main cafe area. There was a broken window in the girls dorm covered with a piece of plywood that was not the same size of the pane and thereby allowed a chilly draft.

All the people in the room minded their own business which resulted in a very quite room despite being full :) They all respected each others privacy. Since I got up early I was able to use the facilities in the room without any waiting time.

Am not sure if you can do anything about this i.e. snoring! Once the night gets deeper the snoring (of some people) gets louder. Probably you can consider distributing ear plugs while checking in :) Also, since your property is at a key location there is lot of noise from the weekend revellers especially if it is a Friday or Saturday night. Again, I guess there is not much you can do.

The location lovely clean bright airy room .good night lamp settings and phones recharging connections.comfortable bed.good shower head and power pressure in bathroom.water refill section to refill your container.nice cafe and lounge room.you can also buy snacks at the bar,and soft drinks from the machine.The kindness of the staff.

The only thing I would recommend is maybe they could introduce a evening light meal from the cafe, for persons who don't want to go out on a evening,as they only serve breakfast.

The staff member who first attended to me asked me a question i felt was unnecessary and unfortunate! She asked if my address on the check in form was correct and i responded affirmative and to my surprise, she further asked if you living in Brighton as indicated by the address then why are you coming rest in this facility? I felt very uncomfortable and embarrassed following this question. I don't really know if that is how she has been trained to receive gusts in this amazing facility. I did not expect such a question from her, to say the least.

I was very much happy with the other staff members i met later on, they were so professional and very helpful. Two of them were males on night duty and the other one was a lady who was seen at the reception after i was attended. These two gentlemen assisted me to get my phone back from my room after leaving the room access card with my roommate in the room.

Clean very large rooms with beautiful sea view, accessible (with a lift), convenient, perfect location, friendly staff (24 hrs) , clean kitchen/cooking facilities. Nice bar area serving food.

No complaints except booking.com implied that breakfast was included for private double rooms but it's not. There's an additional charge for breakfast but there are also cooking facilities there and plenty of lovely cafés to eat out for breakfast.

The staff was super kind and helpful, from the check-in to the general stay (they even helped me get a bowl and warm water for my food). The common facilities served as an open workspace where I had meetings (good and free wifi) without much noise and just overall comfy spaces. The shared bathroom (shared only with the people in your room) was clean, and the hot water worked beautifully.

I understand they have their own breakfasts, and some appliances are restricted to the kitchen, which meant that there was no common microwave to use.

I was very satisfied with my overall experience. From many hostels I've stayed in, YHA Brighton is definitely top tier for me. With travelling alone I felt safe comfortable and really enjoyed my time I didn't feel awkward asking for anything as the vibes were just positive friendly and chilled. All staff were friendly and smiley and so helpful. Everything was so clean!!! Would definitely recommend! 😊
