Journeys Brighton Hostel Reviews

The toilets often had no soap or toilet roll. Behind the beds was really dirty. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is very handy for the train station, lanes, Pavilion and beach. I am not quite sure how the security works in the luggage room as anyone can go in unsupervised and have access to everyones bags. Breakfast was unexpected so it was nice to have the option. Basic but better than nothing.The dorm was very smelly, it was a two man job to open the window.

The hostel seemed to be over booked, with 3 of our 8 beds having been allocated to other people. One of them actually had someone sleeping in it when we arrived back for the night and we were offered the basement as an alternative.. Rooms were clean and with fresh bedding etc, however bathrooms were pretty dire.

I am very happy with everything. Nice breakfast too! :)

Thanks to all stuff for a great and informative stay. You made my very brief stay very memorable and last but not least enjoyable.

one of the best hostel i have visited in England.

A well located hostel, so value for money. The bed was fine and the sheets were very clean but the shower room was a little different. The floor was wet and stained with dirt and the toilet roll was trapped in its holder (but it was sorted between midnight-7am). There were a lot of clean toilets which were easy to get to but having done my run of hostels, the shower room could've been better. I was only there for a night and it was what I kinda expected so for a hostel, it really was fine!

Good location but the room had rubbish in it when we checked in, toilets and shower weren't very clean and the beds are triple bunks - felt a bit like prison! We had a 6 bed dorm and that was fine, but other friends stayed in one of the bigger dorms and said it didn't feel secure to leave belongings around, plus they had someone come home late, start a fight because people were sleeping in the wrong bunks and then someone pissed in the room.

The staff were initially friendly when we arrived however when we asked for additional help with security lockers they were extremely rude and unhelpful. we ended up having to leave everything in the room.

The hostel was in a great location with easy access to the seafront and the train station. The upkeep of the hostel could be much better. The toilets and showers were out of order on our floor for the full weekend.

Nice hostel in a good location. Just a short 15 minute walk from the pier. Employees were very nice and helpful. Security not the greatest. Do not provide you with lockers in the room, and even if you want to buy one, they are very small (can't hold a computer). It is the most expensive hostel I have stayed in. I realize Brighton is a tourist town. However, the hostel could have at least put together the beds for its guests. It is hard to make your bed when you are on the top of a 3 bed bunk

The front desk staff were very friendly

Overall excellent. Staff professional, friendly and accommodating (no pun intended) Minor gripes - showers not working on 3rd floor, disappointing. Also, find it quite bizarre that the bond could not be paid by debit card, this was inconvenient. It was fortunate that one of my friends carried one on the day.

Nowhere secure to put big bags, except the locker room which anyone could have access to. The locks to the dorm rooms were so difficult to use that even sober and with the number in front of me I struggled. That may make me sound like a moron, but it also meant that we were woken throughout the night by people who couldn't get into the dorm.

My main complaint about this hostels are the facilities. The common area was way too small for the amount of people there, same regard to the closet size kitchen where literally 2 people could fit at a time. The mixed toilets and bathrooms werent really my thing either, especially in their filthy and poorly maintained state. I must unfortunately say, that I will head to a different hostel next time in Brighton.

Was quite happy with this hostel in general. The beds were clean and comfortable. The toilets and showers were fine too and the staff seemed friendly. I didn't see any lockers if you wanted to lock up your stuff but I didn't have anything worth locking so it didn't bother me. It's located about ten mins from the seafront and there are plenty of pubs and clubs around that area. Very handy to get home at night.

Only there for a night, pouring rain outside. Cool hostel.

A large hostel that is quite expensive. A bit of a walk to the city.

Good location, great value for money. Would stay here again and reccomend to others

This is a terrific place. Brand new, so everything is beautiful and super clean. the kitchen is big and a nice place to make your own meals. the staff was super friendly and gave fantastic advice on what to see and do. the bar in the main common area is nice and the couch and tv are a cozy place after a long walk along the white cliffs
