SoBo House Brighton Reviews

It was decent for what it was, basic, but functional.

i had a terrible time at sobo house.i don't blame the hostel for the non-stop shouting and partying that kept me awake literally the entire night,nor for the drunken people forgetting which room they were in and trying to come into mine,but i do blame the hostel for not having the heating on at night and therefore forcing me to (not) sleep in what was basically an ice box.plus my floor didn't even have a toilet,which meant another long walk in the cold every time

The rooms were spacious and clean and the staff were extremely friendly. However, the sinks in the bathrooms were ridiculously small, causing the floors in the bathrooms to almost constantly be wet. Additionally, the bathrooms reeked of pot even though there were signs everywhere saying not to smoke.. and the staff didn't seem to care. However, considering how inexpensive the rooms were, especially the rates for the weekdays, I think overall it was a good find.

The hostel had many perks which are great for fellow travelers: Free WiFi, Sky Television, Wii playing console, Large communal area, Free refreshments, Great security, and drinking was permitted :) Towles and Lockers have additional charges but 1 pound isnt to much to ask. There are many arcade games as well as pool table. Its one of the funnest hostels I have stayed at. The receptionist could be a bit more helpful and clued up about Brighton and what it has to offer.

Hostel was very warm. But shower was quite cold

Unfortunately i was double booked which created a rather tedious task of sorting out my booking with the receptionist. I was however then upgraded to a double room (cat got the cream in the end)! I was positively blown away with the plush decor, subtle lighting and comfy bed. A added bonus of a television with a DVD player was really a definite step up from the dreary dungeon style (slash jail) type rooms I have encountered on my travels through the United Kingdom. Thank-you Sobo Hostel!

i don't know

I booked a 16 bed dorm with my boyfriend, and the hostel was so lovley we decided to actually stay another night, but we stayed in the double room instead. it really exceeded our expectations. dvd player - and a tv, the reception has an array of nice dvds also. we actually then booked another 2 nights stay because the value for money was so excellent and brighton was a lovey town to do sight seeing and has many things to do. i would definatley recommend this place.. especially the double rooms

It was well cool, awesome little gadgets. Totally loved the wii in the reception and also the beds were proper comfey. Couldn't fault. The lads and I will defo be back down to visit in summer. Totes looking forward to it.

Moderate Accomodation

It is perfect if all you need is to stay there for one night or you are renting a room with all your friends. It is just a cheap hostal, small spaces, small beds and tiny bathrooms....having said so it is very clean so that is a plus. I stayed in a dorm and was worried about people coming in an out after partying and although two girls did do that I was happy to see that we were all enjoyed and ended up asking them to leave the room! it worked so it was fine!

I found this hostel quite dirty, with badly decorated rooms and poor bathrooms. Moreover, it is quite far from the city centre. At least the lady at the reception was nice and helpful and moved me to a cleaner room.

Complimentary drinks and sweets were a nice touch

Good quality breakfast and you can refil as many times as you want.. I even grabbed sime bits fr my lunch :) Warm and cosy place. Would not recommend t o people that need a good nights sleep though

Good to see that the beds were made up for us - to be handed sheets at check in and be expeted to makde the bed yourself is a little outdated, i got this in the last 2 hostels i visited.Great atmosphere, but lacks modern charcter. The house is a bit dated, but facilities were great

The maintence guy.. why hello!! was all up to scratch as far as hostels go

I read reviews when I came and it said that the staff were friendly!! Umm I beg to differ. Very rude check in and even worse at check out. Room was very clean, was like cleaned with hospital disinfectant or something haha it had like a weird shine to it.the bed was like mine at home.. lol okay I don’t have a double bunk but it was pretty comfy and the sheets smelt like new. Best hostel I have stayed in.

Nice staff, free wifi and laptop. I managed to wriggle a free locker for my stay which was awesome – of me(haha) But on the other hand it has very cold showers, not really pleasant in the midst of winter!

This place wasn't anything special. Far away from the pier and such. Wasn't that bad, however next time I will be looking for a hostel closer to the action.

Long wait in the rain checking in! Cosy room, Heaters always at full blast. CHRISTMAS CAROLS
