In the shower on the first floor there were mushrooms growing from the wall. Obviously the cubicle had not been cleaned for a long time otherwise a staff member would have noticed it. Hairs all over bathroom, and locks not working in some of the toilet cubicles. We were put in a 15bed dorm when we had booked a 12 bed, however they did give us some of our money back as if we had paid for a 15bed dorm. There were no lockers in the room and no space to put your bags so rooms were cluttered also.

Staff are very friendly and easy to talk to always willing to help cricado is the man very friendly I love him. the beds are very private and the rooms a well set out. There is never a wait for showers and the chill out area has everything you need. Wifi is good,and all the shops you need just up the road. I would stay here again :-)

The atmosphere is more lively, but it's a 'Spanish club' and if you want to sit in the common space and have quiet moments, it's unlikely. The security lockers are small, so large laptops etc won't fit. The beds are triple bunks in the big rooms. A middle bunk is really designed height wise for a 12 year old boy with stunted growth. The room is very dark, so it's easy to lose your things and the main light is very weak. It was cheap, so good value and staff are nice.

Nice hostel, but the bathrooms don't have locks. The rooms can get quite crowded, as they are so many beds. The beds themselves are not bad and they have an added bonus of having individual blinds for more privacy. Rooms don't have lockers and not much space to keep your bags so the floor gets quite full of people's backpacks. All in all, it's not far from the railway station and the beach. Good value.

Very basic hostel. Clean bed sheets, clean toilets, free wifi. +booked 6beds in 18persons mixed dorm, and we all got into same room which is cool! This isn't obvious in every hostels.

It was expensive for what it was. No lockers, small kitchen hardly ever open, and only one common room, so if you need to get some work done on the internet and people are watching football with the volume on max, it makes it a bit difficult. The rooms were a bit claustarphobic, and the bathrooms are constantly flooded. It wasn't the worst place I have ever stayed, but there are much nicer options in Brighton and Hove.

I would stay here again for it's great location but not for any other reason. It totally lacked atmosphere and the staff played it a little too cool, could have been more welcoming to a single traveller.

Nice and clean. Bedsheets were fresh, toilets were clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Privacy curtains makes for a more comfortable sleep as it keeps out the lights.

Rooms are really small, no space for your luggage. Breakfast is ok. Hostel is located approx. 20 min. from the Brighton pier.

This hostel has a great common area, which really brought together all the travelers. This I think can make or break one's traveling experience so I recommend the hostel based on its ambiance = ) The hostel has a kitchen and its very secure - has a baggage room to keep your luggage during the day etc... However... the the rooms are bit too tiny for all the triple bunker beds. I would say the actual beds and rooms are not so comfy as it feels a bit claustorphobic and stuffy...

I actually left after i day due to no ventilation in the rooms. I asked about this and the manager said it is winter and cant open any windows and with several people in rooms I asked for my money back and booked into St. Christophers in Brighton much much better for same price so will go there in future.

Rooms are stuffy and a bit smelly ( maybe this is expected of 18 bed dorm) but the location cannot be better and the atmosphere is bril )) great value for money, good to know cheap place to crash for a night

Everything is Ok, but I missed a spare locker. Very comfortable rooms, clean linen and toilets. Too few tables for breakfast.
