Brighton Beach Inn is located in a modern building above a nightclub and offers both private twin rooms and shared dormitory rooms of various sizes. The dormitory rooms have comfy bunks and shared bathroom facilities. Laundry facilities are available and there is a shared lounge/TV area for guests.

The friendly staff stood out for me. If you behave yourself, they will love you. Peaceful atmosphere. Kept nice and clean.

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.

    Very pleasant and helpful staff. Apartment was spacious & spotlessly clean. We felt very safe there. Kitchen was perfectly adequate for cooking when we wished to. Restaurants & food shops conveniently near. Sound proofing was amazing - when inside we could not tell we were in the centre of a city. Air conditioning works well. Taxi close by.

    It was in need of renovation more like a hostel than hotel, but it was cheap everything worked and bedding was clean. Great location for after a night out.

    recently had the pleasure of staying at a hostel that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a warm and friendly host who made me feel right at home. The level of service provided throughout my stay was nothing short of exceptional. The hostel itself was clean, well-maintained, and offered a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The dormitory rooms were spacious and thoughtfully designed, with sturdy bunk beds and ample storage space for each guest.

    This is a youth hostel, it is cheap, and it is good enough for a short stay. It is old and needs refurbishment. I'd probably enjoy it more if I would still be a student and 15 years younger. It can be fun!

    We had such a lovely stay for two nights and felt right at home. it’s in a great location 10 mins to the centre or less by bus if you don’t drive. Exceptionally clean, cosy and comfortable. very private and was actually much cheaper than a budget hotel for our stay! we would love to stay again in the future. can’t fault it!
