About

a&o Brighton Palace Pier, a former hotel, is ideal for backpackers, solo travellers and groups of friends wishing to take advantage of this great city centre location. All rooms are en-suite, and we even have 18 double bedrooms for those couples looking for a romantic getaway on a budget. The hostel has a chilled out bar where you can relax with a cold beer and tuck into a delicious pizza from our restaurant.

Summary of traveller reviews

a&o Brighton Beach offers a fantastic location, just moments from the beach and city attractions. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and many feel secure during their stay. Rooms and bathrooms are generally found to be clean and spacious, with some noting the modern feel of the bathrooms. It's a great choice for solo travellers and couples looking for a central base.

Not a party hostel and all the better for it. Well run, spacious, clean and soo central. And at such a good price. It’s a gift. Such a great option when staying in Brighton. Thanks to all staff for their friendly welcome and all round manner.

very friendly staff and cute facilities. rooms are nice, especially the bathroom in our en suite. the location is perfect and our overall stay was amazing. the luggage room was free to use and very easy, and the only bad things to note are these: the food offered by the bar could be better and cheaper; absolutely zero vegan options, and the price is quite high for what it is. otherwise, great place to stay!
