It is a lovely building, the staff were nice and friendly and its in a great location. I cant understand the bad reviews here as I have stayed in worse than this... More

My wife and I want a nice quite weekend away in Brighton. Instead we got Baggies. The location is good two mins from the beach and 2 mins from a Sainsbury’s in the opposite direction but that is where the good points end. The hostel has a large number of permanent residents who partied and sang until the early hours.... More

I stayed here as part of a group for a hen party so we booked a private room. I think the room was meant for 4 people and we had 5 so it was pretty cosy but absolutely fine for a hostel. We were upstairs so were not disturbed by any noise from downstairs, but I imagine it could be... More

Great cosy hostel with nice atmosphere. We had a double room on the top floor which we enjoyed a lot. The other guests were also very nice, as well as the staff. We stayed 4 nights, and liked it a lot. There was some parties going on downstairs some nights which was nice, and the bedrooms are some floors up... More

A great location - good facilities - helpful staff - messy dorms. In the main dorm (12 + 6 people), there are "residentials": people living there monthly. They spread their stuffs everywhere so you can bearly walk in the room, they are rude and put the music on, smoke and argue at 5 am with no respect for the other... More

We booked the double room, right on the top floor, very small room with wash basin. Clean enough. Showers and toliets were alright, could have been cleaner. Common area in the basement, very dark, tiny kitchen but to be fair none of these were issues, just observations. Great location, seconds from the sea front, not far to the shops, pier... More
