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.

Great location from beach. Great desk service, super clean, my dorm had a bath and shower, in room heater, nice kitchen and bar/lounge room. There was no laundry service and hard to find a quiet place for my studies. Over all decent price and a Great place to stay and network.

6/10

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!

2-night trip

6/10

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.
