SoBo House Brighton Reviews

I don't know why there is no multiple choice for "how comfortable are the beds?" This is surely one of the most important factors of how well you'll enjoy your stay, and in the case of Sobo they are abysmal. Wrapping a sheet around a pile of springs does not make a mattress.

Very friendly atmosphere with good access to many facilities etc. washing machine, dryer, kitchen and internet. On the top of that unlimited access o TV and socket !!!! Regards Malgorzata Oziomek *****

The hostel itself was a tad cold and the lightblulb needed changing in my room. The facilities like free nibbles, and 24 hour access were great for my group of people staying as we planned brighton to be our ‘party’ stop. Often a lot of complaints when coming in at late times, none here!

I met some pretty cool travellers, internationals, and local English here, great mix of types. Great fondness for the facilities, as well as the amenties at Sobo. We have some complaints for the loud music being played.

I like that the place makes feel like home. The room is very nice and great bed with clean mattress and cover, lots of space in the double room

* I didn’t like the décor of the place, e.g. the hostel was pink! But all the facilities inside and the location and free wifi and sports channels on sky were terrific.

Amazeballs little hostel tucked into the side of a quiet little street. Loved the LARGE rooms meaning we could all stay together, liked the 24 hour acces and pin code system. Would recommend the 5 bed dorm.. awesome amount of space and nice view from window!

Brighton is a beautiful town and I have been visiting here every year for summer for the last decade. This was the first time I stayed at SoBo hostel, I chose it for its very low price and also because it was close to the sea. The service and hospitality were great here and truly did not disappoint. The weekend was rather noisy with lots of groups of youngsters and hen/stag parties. All in all a 8/10

-Problems with my code for the door, had to change it 3 times! 4 TVs with sky channels on each was good, as is the outside patio/garden area

-This hostel/budget hotel is all about the small things. The staff are super informative and a great help as well as very friendly and understanding. If you have ANY problems you should inform them directly as they make plans to sort any of your issues out etc. The free snacks and warm beverages are a very nice touch as well as the 9’o clock ‘standard knock’ where the staff come to check if you are okay and if you need anything and then give you a bowl of sweets! I have recommended to friends

-My partner and I booked a double en suite private room at Sobo as it was the cheapest place to stay in Brighton that we could find. The room really was great, neat and tidy and we had a tray of juices, biscuits and snacks for our arrival too. The bathroom was a bit small, but this fact can be overlooked due to the cleanliness of it. The shared facilities (Dining area, kitchen and tv room) had great . I liked the free wifi , but would suggest the area of this to be expanded to the rooms

Our room was tiny but serviceable, the bedding was clean and the bed comfortable. No central heating and open window meant that it was freezing when we arrived and it took some convincing to get the heating turned on. Bathrooms were reasonably clean, but only three shared ones in the hostel and they were spread out throughout the rabbit warren of a house - not a place for people with a poor sense of direction. Overall it was prefectly serviceable, but not really warm or welcoming.

Horrific! Three of us shared a private triple room and all agreed it was the worst place we have all ever stayed - we have all travelled all over the world. The room was tiny, walls were so thin you could hear everyone and everything. The decor was tatty and tired. There was an unclean smell in the hostel. The curtains were rags, there was hairs on one of the pillows when we arrived. The staff we ok but not friendly and didn't add much value. I would never go back or recommend this place.

The experience has been pretty bad in general. To begin the cleanup was invalid, nonexistent, it was very dirty. The facilities were very poor, the rooms very uncomfortable, not to mention the rickety bed, with the base broken. The price they charged was almost like a luxury hotel. Tampo is very central to the center of Brighton, is in Hove. I would not recommend to anyone.

The ratings talk for themselves

This place has a high rating and cheap rates thats why we stayed. it was great for a nice quiet night in, away from the city hustle and bustle so we didnt get any noise or distractions. i would recommend sobo to all other travellers. just remember to take towels!!!!

I have been to sobo twice before and it didnt dissapoint. awesome guests and wicked night out. we had a nice get together party one night and everyone joined in, theres a disco ball and lights and sound system that was perfect. free sky and dvds galore and other facilites mean i will be coming back.. AGAIN!

Clean and comfortable, bit tired around the edges.

nice place

A great hostel; that covers all the necessary facilities, whilst being a very cute and cosy place to stay! Lovely to curl up on the couch in front of the big screen tv's. With a good location, and close to pubs and shops
