6.8 Good
Pros: The closeness to The Lanes, beach and other tourist attractions.
Nice bathroom.
Cons: It was very noisy as there was no double glazing. Curtains did not close properly so we had light pouring in all night from the street lights and early in the morning from the sun.
There were no desks in our room which are always handy when you travel.
Breakfast was not enticing and a bit pricey for what it was.
Towels were not included which was a surprise considering what we paid for the room.

Pros: Before arrival I asked of having rose petals spread on the bed in a heart shape for me and my girlfriends 2nd anniversary of being together. I was not really expecting much as they are a hostel, not a hotel, but tried my luck anyways as I knew it would mean the world to my girlfriend to see this on our bed for the night. Upon arrival the receptionist was very friendly and informative of the room and the surrounding area. As we entered the room I was delighted to see rose petals laid all over the bed, with roses laid out decoratively on the towel. My eyes were then drawn to the bottle of red wine, with two wine glasses either side of the bottle. Within the glasses there were also roses. This addition blew my mind, and was further surprised when I found the bottle of wine to be free, a gift from the hotel to us for our anniversary. They really went the extra mile and exceeded my expectations. The room, bathrooms and corridors were clean and decorated in a banksy/anarchist/modern art esque theme which gave a nice tourist hostel vibe to the place. In the morning we enjoyed our fresh cosmopolitan breakfast which suited our needs perfectly. The location was perfect and only a 3 minute walk from restaurants, shops and the centre. I will definitely be returning in the future, excellent quality for such a low price

3.0 Mediocre
Pros: The staff were nice and dealt with the problems we had quickly and professionally enough.
Cons: We had a private room which obviously hadn't been cleaned. I asked for the sheets to be changed because they had rubbish from the previous people on them, but all the other facilities were left as they were. The room was obviously dusty and the bathroom hadn't had a once over in a while - still splashes of other people's urine under the toilet seat and hair in the shower. Wasn't expecting spotless, but also wasn't expecting to feel like I needed to clean the toilet before I could use it. The towel included in the room left me covered in grey fluff and feeling grubbier than before my shower.
3.0 Mediocre
Pros: Cheap price, good location
Cons: It's November and the dorms were so COLD, there was no way to take a shower without the water burning you, the staff was pretty rude, there was no toilet paper in the toilet and someone pissed all over the floor before I went. I stayed there before but the quality really dropped. There is reasons why it's so cheap.
6.0 Good
Pros: Location was very good for me, fast check in and check out.
Cons: Even though it was an all female room, a man slept there for the night. There are no lockers in the room. There was mold in the celing in the room.
3.0 Mediocre
Pros: Good location
Cons: - Low standard - more so than any hostel I’ve stayed at before. - Most of the lockers seemed to be broken and they were all located in the basement. - Thin plastic mattresses. - Dirty, dusty and grubby rooms and washing facilities. - Bathrooms need to be updated. Grubby. Broken handles etc - Not much of a staff presence. When checking in we asked for lockers, the woman told us to come back later, when we did, she said we should ask someone else. Staff need to be better informed.
3.3 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing
Cons: I've send the email to the hostel twice before our arrival. They didn't reply. When we arrive, on the reception it took us 30 minutes to check in. The staff been probably stoned and absolutely brainwashed. They asked as same questions again and again. The hostel is a nice building, but the shame is they don't take care of it. Is so dirty! U can't see different colour if the floor under the bed. They not taking dirty laundry down. Kitchen is in the basement and really smells. It's the same with the toilets. We stayed three days and we haven't see anyone cleaning. Beds are not comfy, the space above your head is so small, u feel like u are in metal cage. The ladders by the beds are dangerous. They are not attached to the beds, so u can just imagine climbing drunk people on them. This is definitely tge worst place i ever stayed and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone!

Top tips for finding the perfect Brighton hostel
Booking a hostel in Brighton comes with several advantages over booking hotels or other accommodations. On top of cutting costs, you’ll have access to the beach and other popular tourist destinations in Brighton without the hustle and bustle of a hotel. Many of the area’s hostels also house shared kitchens, where you can prepare your own meals when you don’t feel like dining out. Another important advantage of booking a hostel in Brighton is the heightened opportunity to meet up with both locals and fellow travelers.
Are you traveling with your significant other? Sleeping in a dormitory-style room isn’t the best option for a romantic getaway, which is why choosing the right hostel in Brighton is essential for your vacation. Hostel YHA Brighton has double and triple rooms that can accommodate you and your significant other with all the advantages of a hostel but without the lack of privacy that comes with open, dormitory-style sleeping quarters.
Although Brighton is a vibrant city with several different areas to explore, there are two main neighborhoods that house the majority of the area’s hostels: the Brighton seafront and central Brighton. Booking a hostel on the Brighton seafront has the obvious benefits of quick beach access and respite from the high foot traffic of downtown, while central Brighton is overall more convenient and puts you closer to shopping options, bars, restaurants, and clubs on the major high streets in the area.
When traveling with a group of family or friends, your choice of accommodations can either make or break your vacation. One of the best hostels in Brighton for groups is Hostel Baggies, which is located on the seafront. This hostel offers both dormitory-style rooms and a quadruple room that can accommodate a party of up to four people, as well as several spacious common areas where you can kick your feet up after a long day of beachgoing and sightseeing.
