Very clean and local to everything. Had a problem with shower bracket but sorted next morning. Would stay there again
Location
Localisation, propreté, communication simple et efficace.
Un petit micro-onde serait le bienvenue
Petite chambre mais bien organisée, et très propre Quartier calme Bon emplacement, proche de la plage et du centre-ville Excellente communication avec le propriétaire, chaleureux et réactif
Durant l'été : il faisait très chaud à Brighton, et malgré le ventilateur, il faisait très chaud dans la chambre insonorisation moyenne
Great location easy access and check in
Parking is very limited and a steep staircase up to higher floors
Excellent location. Easy check in. A late check out was very much appreciated. The mini fridge and fan in the room were useful. The bed was comfortable.
The room was very warm, and the shower room was very small, the corner shower cubicle in particular was quite cramped.
Tolle Lage! Kommunikation bei Fragen und Anliegen läuft super. Beide gebuchten Zimmer waren sehr charmant und sind nett eingerichtet. Willkommensgruß mit Keksen, Tee und Kaffee!
In einem Zimmer kein Toilettendeckel vorhanden.
Great location
Die Lage ist hervorragend und die Zimmer zwar alt aber sauber uns liebevoll
Great location for the town
Nothing really
Liked the clear instructions by the host. Very nice clean spacious room, and everything we needed..the biscuits and water were very handy.and a powerful fan! We were allowed to check out at 12 p.m., which gave us another swim in the sea (which is just down the street and across the road). We will ge back 😀
Needed an iron in room maybe?
Good location, cosy room with confortable bed, water and biscuits from the owner. Quiet during the night, very nice overall.
Shower cabin tiny.
Rien
Tout : Déjà il n’y a personne pour vous accueillir dans cet établissement. Vous arrivez et vous ne savez pas ce que vous devez faire !! La chambre était minuscule, sale, bruyante. Les rideaux étaient déchirés, les murs remplis de traces en tout genre, le lit inconfortable au possible, le mobilier abîmé …. Dans la salle de bain, il n’y avait aucune pression dans la douche, le pommeau fuyait, il y avait des moisissures dans le bac et les wc coulaient en continu. Sur le robinet du lavabo, il y avait un cheveu, le dessus du tube de dentifrice dans l’évacuation et le verre pour se rincer les dents n’avait pas été lavé. Il y avait un jour en bas de la porte qui provoquait un courant d’air permanent dans la chambre. Les murs étaient si fins que l’on entendait « les voisins ». La rue était très bruyante. Bref mon séjour a été gâché à cause de cet hébergement.
Posizione della struttura ottima, Anche la mini box per la colazione è stata una cosa molto piacevole e carina.
Dovrebbe fornire asciugamani un po’ più grandi oppure due in più di quelli già presenti . inoltre essere un bagno cieco se lasci l asciugamano in bagno puzza di umido dopo un solo giorno
Cute, quaint, nice decoration, very clean, very nice staff, good communication, great location. It also had a mini fridge so we were able to store fruits en other snacks. Overal a really nice stay en would definitely recommend.
We liked everything!
Great location, good amenities, felt safe. Right next to the beach and close to many good cafes, restaurants and bars.
Check in communication was mixed up as we received confirmation that early check in had been approved however it wasn't confirmed by the host but through booking.com - something to look out for when booking this accommodation.
The guest house is in a nice area, near the beach and the shops. Jeremy was really nice and he even extended our checkout time to 12. Will definitely come back.
Nothing
L'emplacement du Brighton Surf Guest House est super bien situé, tout proche de la mer, un très chouette quartier. Bonne literie et délicates attentions : cookies, café. L'hôte est très réactif.
La chambre est petite mais suffisante pour 3 jours. Le seul bémol, la salle de bain qui est extrêmement petite, notamment la douche où il était difficile de bouger.
Location
The stairs
Close your beach & shops, clean, easy check in.
No mini fridge
It was easy to get in and find my room and keys. clean.
It didnt have a fridge in it as stated on their website.
- emplacement idéal entre la plage et Kemptown (pleins de restaurants eg bar à côté et à 2min à pied de la plage) - chambre spatieuse et accueillante - très bon contact par message avec Jeremy qui a été à l’écoute et proactif pour rendre notre séjour agréable.
The property was clean and comfortable. Also, the location was great. When we arrived we had cold water and some snacks waiting us which was a nice touch. Jeremy was amazing, he replied promptly and was helpful throughout our stay.
We stayed in the king blush room and the bathroom was a little small. We would stay here again and highly recommend it. Next time we will book earlier to have a bigger bathroom. But overall, everything was great and felt at home.
The bath and spacious bed
Entrance stairs very step, water pressure in shower very poor as was temperature control
Die Unterkunft liegt in einem der schönsten Viertel in Brighton, ruhige kleine Nebenstraße. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit kleinem Balkon, von dem man auf das Meer schauen konnte. Nette Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber, reibungsloser Ablauf mit Tür- und Schlüsselcodes. Netter Treat mit Cookies, ausreichend Tee und Kaffee. Das Bett war schön breit. Alles, was man braucht, ist fußläufig, außerdem kann man auch sonst überallhin gut laufen. Überraschend gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für das ausgebuchte Nick Cave- und Pride-Weekend.
Die Böden in Zimmer/Bad und auf dem Balkon waren doch deutlich verschmutzt, das hätte man mit ein paar Handgriffen und nem Staubsauger hinbekommen. Der fehlende Klodeckel war etwas irritierend, den hätte man in dem kleinen Bad auch gut als Ablagefläche brauchen können.
I was very pleased with the room I chose—it was comfortable and clean, and I really loved the wonderful sea breeze coming in through the open window. I will definitely be back; thank you.
The location is good
Grime in the bathroom, the hot tap in the shower kept leaking when I was showering and burnt me multiple times. The bathroom in itself had no way of not getting water on the floor - the flimsy shower curtain and how small the shower is, it was easy for the bathroom floor to get really wet
The location.
I didn't have any issues with the accommodation.
Smooth check in, clean room, all necessary toiletries provided, late check out option available, fast internet, friendly customer service
Replacing the curtains with blinds would open up the room and make it feel larger:)
Communication and location
Rust in the shower. Too many stair's to get up to room. Fire alarm really needs replacing.
La chambre au rez était bruyante (directement sur la rue), le régulateur de la douche était cassé et n’a pas été réparé. Nous n’avons pas vu le propriétaire mais il répondait aux messages.
The host was trying to be helpful extending the check out time for example. The room was spacious and relatively quiet and cool in a street with pedestrians above and on a swelteringly hot week-end.
The mattress needs changing I could feel the springs. The pillows need changing too as they are shapeless and uncomfortable. The plug in the hand basin needs repairing. The toilet is up several levels from the bedroom-it would be helpful if there was a night light so that if someone wants to use the toilet at night they can get to it without either switching the lights on and disturbing their partner or risk tripping
The location, the bed, ease of access, fridge, water in fridge, biscuits and tea/coffee. Nice of host to allow later leaving time.
Steep, narrow treads, steps down. Steps in bathroom, lumpy pillows, too few hooks, slippy floors, no info on local area, no human to connect with other than phone if problem, cramped shower.
It’s clean and safe
The shower pressure could’ve been better as it was very weak
Very close to the centre of Brighton
The room was absolutely fantastic. Jeremy sent really clear and detailed communications regarding our stay and getting entry, very kind and helpful. The room looked exactly like the photos, spacious, huge bathroom with bath and shower, large fridge, TV, wardrobe etc. Generous welcome pack too! The decor was beautiful and the location is perfect for the seafront. Also the little cafe across the street does some amazing cinnamon rolls!
Honestly, the stay was amazing, I can't complain about anything, if I had to find something then the mattress is a little on the soft side, but we both had a great sleep all 3 nights, so it certainly wasn't an issue at all.
Alles war wie auf den Fotos. Ein späterer Check out wurde mir angeboten ohne dass ich danach gefragt hatte, dass war super. Einfacher check in
Great location , lovely comfortable bed , ease of access to room and super communication from the owner Jeremy
Shower I stay twice last year in the same room as I did this time . The shower attachment was still not fixed and kept flopping forward so in the end I had to use it as a wand for instead of it being fixed to the wall.
La ubicación y la limpieza
El recibimiento. Había una persona que no tenía constancia de las reservas y tuvo que consultar varias veces para confirmar.
We selected a small double room however it was not that small and it suited us. I liked the keycode access to the property which was new to us. The location was near to the beach and shops although the central town was about 15 minute walk away. No problem for us as we like to walk. There were plenty of shops, bars and restaurants locally and in town which catered for all tastes. A very lively, bustling area. The housekeepers ensured towels were changed in the accommodation and the welcome boxes of biscuits /teas/coffee/milk was a nice gesture. There was a fan in the room to cool us down which was lovely in this heat.
There wasn't really anything I didn't like.
It was clean, easy to get to.
The shower didn’t work properly. It was a bit of a walk from the centre.
Location, host was nice (didn't see them but seemed nice)
3 flights of stairs, very very small room, shower was extremely small and the shower head had to be held in place (as per reviews, this is an ongoing issue). Stayed in Brighton every other year for the last 9 years, by far the most below average place we have stayed..completely understand you pay for what you get, but wouldn't stay again.
Location is excellent Communication excellent
Jeremy is extremely nice and keep the guest proactively well informed.

Very easy access, lovely comfortable bed and cool room. In a great location with a lot of independent pubs and stores near by.
Everything was great
clean tidy and lovely
I was in the area to visit someone at The Royal Sussex County Hospital and the location of this property was excellent, it being less than 15 minutes walk away. It was also close to plenty of cafes, retaurants and conevenience stores. I was travelling alone and I felt very safe at the accomodation and the proprty was exceptional clean. It was a hot day on my arrival so I was very appreciative of the bottled water provided in the fridge in the room. The owner of the property kindly contacted me with the option of extending my checkout time from 10.30am to 12 pm at no extra charge. I was appreciative of this offer and I availed of the later checkout.
The down side for me would have to be the noise of the pipes on the wall that if you were a light sleeper it may well be an issue for you. The bathroom had a very small shower unit but it was not an issue for me as I'm not a particularly large person.
Very quiet area
Small shower
Great location. Very comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and attentive. Everything I needed for a great weekend in Brighton.
Nothing
It was fantastic. No reception or staff so I didn't have to talk to anyone. Just some codes to get in. Exactly what I needed. A small room with a bed. Water bottles and cookies were also appreciated.
The room was very comfortable and spacious.The facilities were great just what I needed. A fridge to keep my beer😁
It was spacious and the Jacuzzi came in handy after dancing all night😆
Great location with easy self check in, clean and well maintained property, friendly and approachable owner😀
We were on the top floor, stairs are steep
Wir hatten ein grosses Zimmer, gute Lage, und das Zimmer hatte alles was man braucht. Wir hatten am ersten Tag ein Problem mit der Dusche, Jeremy hat sich sofort bemüht und sich darum gekümmert eine Lösung zu finden. Danke! Wir sind zufrieden mit dem Aufenthalt.
Es war etwas ringhörig, wenn jemand einen leichten Schlaf hat kann es evtl stöhrend sein. Jedoch ist man in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend, so dass es uns nie gestört hat.
Clean good location
The bed awful lumpy soft mattress
The location was exceptional. Very clean room and facilities. Quiet surroundings. There are lots of very good local restaurants and bars in Kemptown. Attractions close by. We had an amazing time. The host kept in touch without being intrusive, which was lovely. We would definitely come back again to this lovely and welcoming guesthouse.
Although working perfectly well, the shower was a bit small. The room was quite hot, so the fan was a godsend. You could hear a trickling water sound in the wall by the bed headboard. We came to the conclusion that it might be a fridge in an adjoining room as the noise wasn't dissimilar to that of the one in our room.
Very reasonable, great location, clean and had a fan :)
Nothing
I love the fact that its a code to get in the main door, and we have a key safe outside our door. That way we don't have to worry about carrying keys around with us, and that we may lose them. I also loved the fridge in my room
My fan in the room was almost at breaking point. Even on the slow speed, it was rattling around a lot.
It was my second stay here, so treated myself to a larger room! The room was spacious with a mini fridge & a chair & table The room had everything I needed. Hope to return again soon!
Really cute unit and great staff. Excellent communication with the owner Jeremy. Really went above and beyond.
Note the bathroom is a bit cramped. Some might find it a bit uncomfortable.
Das Apartment ist wunderschön eingerichtet, sehr sauber und liegt ideal, um Brighton zu erkunden. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die Kommunikation mit Jeremy – er ist ein sehr engagierter und fairer Gastgeber, dem das Wohl seiner Gäste wirklich am Herzen liegt.
Leider gab es zu Beginn technische Probleme mit dem Tür-Code und die Duschtemperatur ließ sich nicht richtig regulieren, was gerade auf einer Geschäftsreise stressig war. Jeremy hat jedoch sofort reagiert, am selben Tag einen Reparaturversuch unternommen und uns am Ende unaufgefordert eine faire preisliche Entschädigung angeboten.
Comfortable bed
Small room en suite tiny shower was dirty shower curtain was disgusting
It was central for the beach, the pier and Brighton town centre.
Very little. I would have liked a fridge in my room.
Todo
Room too small, toilet seat broken, access to room via stairs very hard, no facilities for disabled people.
The location is great
The shower was small for a larger man.
Good location right by the prom. Though quite a small, narrow property, it is very clean, and the process of picking up keys and entering the room was smooth.
The room itself had several issues including a hole in the wall by the door (caused by the door hitting it), and the rope on the slide-up windows was broken so the window wouldn't stay open. I had to prop it open on a folded towel. One of the panes was also cracked (see photos). Meanwhile, the small fridge inside the cupboard was incredibly noisy -- possibly faulty -- and as such, was quite disturbing to my sleep. Made worse by the fact that it's a small room, so the fridge was right by my head. Final, and perhaps most important point... the place does *not* have parking. To say it has parking is to mis-sell the property. This was extremely disappointing as I searched on Booking.com specifically for places in Brighton with parking -- which this property said it had -- but it transpires that the owner seems to think that there being resident permit parking bays outside is 'having parking'. Even though these bays are free overnight, every single one in the local area is full 24/7. Brighton is very difficult for parking and I ended up driving round for ages on all three days of my stay to find parking nearby, which I never managed to do. In the end I had to pay £20 per day (£60 total) to park in a nearby ANPR carpark at the local Bingo hall. Not a good experience for me really. And an unnecessary extra cost that I did not expect.
Amazing location, short walk to everything! Spacious room and super comfortable bed.
Tout était parfait!
Rien
Très bon établissement, très propre et bien placé
Room Too small, Shower not very good , Really steep stairs ,narrow ,.
As abovenot bad ,
Very comfortable bed and good water pressure in the shower
The Surf Guest house was a lovely place to stay for me. It had everything I needed & was in an ideal location for me. Would definitely stay again!
The staff was lovely and the location perfect - just a short walk to the beach and city centre! Room was tidy and spacious, there was a small fridge in the room and the windows were big and beautiful which made the room full of light.
Yövyimme kohteessa viikonloppuna ja olimme erittäin tyytyväisiä. Huone oli tilava, siisti ja hyvin varusteltu – kaikki oli juuri kuten kuvauksessa. Sijainti oli erinomainen: rauhallisella ja hiljaisella kadulla, rannalle oli lyhyt kävelymatka ja keskustaan pääsi vaivattomasti jalan. Yhteydenpito isäntään sujui mutkattomasti ja saimme selkeät ohjeet sisäänkirjautumiseen. Kaikin puolin miellyttävä ja vaivaton majoituskokemus – voimme lämpimästi suositella!
Lovley stay at the surf guest house! We stayed in room 2 and loved it, we loved the balcony and the windows that opened right up! It would be a bonus if there were a table + chairs on the balcony area though. However the room was lovely and clean, brilliant facilities and perfect location right next to the beach. 5 minute walk from local pubs/ restaurants- as well as a 5 minute walk from the beryl bikes which we often used. There were 2 fans left in the room which cooled the room down. We did get the parking permits which jermey provided wrong but with Just a text he managed to sort us some new ones out with no bother, thankyou ! Loved our stay thanks so much !
There was a little cupboard door above the Mirror in our room and it kept opening and closing despite folding up a parking permit to try to stop it then sometimes the light inside the cupboard would be on then off, it did scare me a little bit ! But my partner was winding me up about it so I was probably scared more than I should’ve been haha .
The bed was very comfortable. The tea, coffee & biscuits were a nice touch. The water in the fridge was thoughtful too .
The shower was extremely small , I’m not a large person but I struggled with getting in & out of the shower .
Good location, friendly and helpful host. Definitely stay again.
Really nice room. In a very nice location.
De locatie van het Brighton Surf Guest House was perfect, vlakbij de pier en op loopafstand van het centrum. De host was ook erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk. De kamer was schoon en bij aankomst lagen er lekkere snacks.
Niets.
Perfect location, great commutation with staff and exactly what you want for the price. Clean, honest, and only a little tight, exactly what was needed.
The ground floor permanently smelled of delicious food, while it wasn’t a problem per se, it would make me irrationally hungry upon arriving back.
Location
Tiny room, dreadful shower in a tiny bathroom, floor collapsing
Everything was fantastic, from booking to check out. Lovely comfortable room, in a nice area, at a great price.
Very comfy bed, powerful shower.
Location great
Room size fine had small double was enough but the bed definitely needs replacing as well as mattress soon as you moved the whole bed creaked sat on bed you sunk Needs updating Toilet seat was broken Saw no staff to talk too Shower very small and the head of shower would not stay in place so you had to hold it
Cosy room and Jeremy was lovely
Nothing
Great little guest house in a convenient location. The host was attentive and very friendly. The room was clean, with plenty of tea/coffee/biscuit supplies. I've had a very enjoyable stay.
-
Very central
The hotel smelt very strongly of curry the bathroom was the worse for it
Close to Brighton city centre & queer district. Nice tea, coffee and biscuits facilities. Host allowed late check out till 12/noon.
Personally for me I found the shower difficult but as a 6ft 4 man, I understand not everyone will have this problem. But I struggled. I also struggled being on the top floor as lots of stairs.
The location was excellent. The room was compact but clean and the bed was comfy. Excellent value for money.
The shower was small and quite difficult to manoeuvre in for both of us, but it did not effect our stay. The room was quite warm, but a fan was provided.
Bed was big and comfortable, slept really well! Host was very friendly and informative. Everything was funtional and lots of amenities came with the room. Location was right by the sea and not too far a walk from the centre, about 15 minutes. The seafront was about a 5 minute walk - you could see the water right as you stepped out! Plenty of breakfast options within a 5 minute walk as well.
Shower was a little small, my partner has broad shoulders so he struggled to turn around etc. It was okay for me (as a broader shouldered gym girlie) though!
