“This beachfront property benefits significantly from its Brighton promenade location, communal yoga sessions, and pet-friendly policy. The recent takeover brings potential, though some noise and room temperature issues require attention; free coffee near the door is a nice touch. It's a quirky, well-placed base for exploring the city's attractions.”

This place was great for the price. rooms are big and clean, perfect after long days exploring. if we asked for something, the staff quickly picked it up. They were so helpful! the location? pretty good!

The breakfast wasn't really to my personal taste, it's just toasties, pastries, or granola and yogurt. It's alright, though

the 4-bed shared dormitory room included curtains on each bed, a feature i appreciate. i liked that lockers had keys, a benefit since i often forget a padlock. the staff was friendly and the location was convenient with numerous essential amenities nearby.

i noticed the windows did not shut properly, leading to some drafts and noise during the night.
