Very small room but cozy and well equipped: fridge, hair-drier, kettle, tea/coffee/cookies, fast wifi. Very clean throughout. The self-access concept should spread as it's a great way to keep costs down. The owner emails a front door code and one more for the key to the room, and a friendly cleaner comes buy every three days. Very efficient! Lots of fun bars, pubs, restaurants with food from all over the world nearby, two minutes to the beach, a bit more to the main attractions, parks, etc.

Brian United Kingdom

The Brighton Surf Guest House is a wonderful location in Brighton. Very conveniently located, safe, and clean. The streets tend to get a little rowdy at night, but then again, one is in Brighton. We were on a business trip and managed to conduct our affairs and get some much needed sleep. Nice, clean, comfortable bed, and great snack and hospitality package. The fridge is an amazing edition. Thank you.

We stayed for 16 nights at the Brighton Surf House. We had an excellent experience. Jeremy is incredibly responsive and kind, Howard was wonderful as well. Great housekeeping, very functional room and lovely location near the sea. Bravo!

Loved that it’s located not on a noisy street, close to the beach. Loved the bed and the pillows, so comfortable! Jeremy the host was responsive and helpful. Internet worked well. Would stay here again.

Natalia United States of America

I loved everything! The hotel is a five minute walk from Brighton Pier and by a few different restaurants. There’s a little snack set up with cereal, milk, juice, water, tea and biscuits which was very nice. Also the facilities were very clean and safe.
