Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Lovely accommodation, spotlessly clean with a really comfy bed and incredible shower and bathroom. The sunroom was a really useful space as well. The host is very warm and welcoming, and great communication both before and during stay. It's in a great location and would definitely book again if need something in this area.

    We went to visit Brighton and decided to stay at Newhaven away from the touristy area. We wanted to spend the night in a small quiet place by the sea. The room was very cozy , comfortable and clean, with harbour view. Host was very friendly. She also recommended a breakfast place nearby, the food was delicious and surprisingly cheaper .

    You can safely leave out the word 'luxury' here. The coffee offered in the room was disappointing (two small bags of Nescafe for two nights), the toilet paper seemed to be counted and the bed was not really comfortable. Moreover, you are overloaded with a series of prohibitions and extras (paying extra if you happen to be early, etc.) which makes you feel very controlled.

    Beyond clean! NIcky is an amazing host very attentive and available to answer any queries. Pictures do not do the room justice! The rooms are well decorated and luxurious. The bed was comfortable, and the linen top notch. Location is in a very nice neighbourhood and felt safe and secure as a lone traveller. Have booked again!
