Best stay at we have had in brighton
We are a stone grow away from the Brighton pier and the beach is so close to the hotel, we booked in to the hotel and we had a message from the owner a couple of days before we were supposed to book in saying that they have upgraded a room for free. We are in such a lovely cosy room. We have a big TV that has great sound and picture on it, lots of room to move around and we were surprised that we have a refrigerator in the room, no hotels have that so we were shocked that we had a refrigerator. We have gone away on our honeymoon and this has just been the best experience we have ever had. I will be staying here again 100% next year in the summer. If I was you, if you want somewhere to stay, that’s cheap cosy and so close to the beach. I would recommend staying here the owner is amazing and helpful I cannot express how lovely the housekeeping is. He was so lovely every time that we passed him he would be smiling and greeting us in the morning. You cannot hear any foot traffic at all through the building. I love the fact that the bathroom is ensuite and we have a shower we have shampoo and conditioner with soap already supplied. I could not believe the little complimentary refreshment on the side as we walked into the room. We have stayed here for one week and we have loved it. It’s been the best break away from London that we could have asked for the bed is the most comfiest bed we’ve ever slept on. I don’t think my husband has slept in a better bed than this.

Amazing hotel, would recommend for short stays
We loved this Guest House so much. Jeremy is always available by text/email should you need any help. Its very close to the beach front, maybe 5/10 mins walk to the beach and pier too, and not far from the shops either. We loved the little complimentary boxes in the rooms too, and we were offered a bit of room service half way through our stay too, to top things up, which was a lovely touch on top too! Our only negative was the shower being so small and cramped, and we kept getting suctioned to the curtain while showering, but in a narrow building, there's not a lot of space for bigger showers!

We had an enjoyable stay at Brighton Surf Guesthouse. There was an issue with the shower and although it could not be resolved during our stay it was dealt with with care which was appreciated.

Lovely room in a great location. Brilliant customer service and a really easy check in/out procedure. The only downside is that the cold tap on the shower wasn’t working properly and the lights above the vanity mirror weren’t working. Apart from those two minors things, everything else was brilliant.

Thank you to Jeremy for having a lovely property. I didn’t realize when I booked it was a basement suite, but once down the precarious staircase the room was MARVELOUS. A proper king sized bed (not the UK version) and wonderful treats and snacks, a most welcome surprise after a long drive!! I would absolutely stay here again!

Ideal stay for Brighton Beach
A lovely room that had a generous welcome pack and excellent communication from the staff via email. I was a little concerned that there was no staff on site but everything was thought of and there is a 24 hour mobile number. Also 2 minutes from the beach and less than 10 from the pier.

I had a lovely stay at Brighton Surf, I received very clear and precise self check in instructions as well as great information about the area as well as directions to the property. The owner Jeremy is very helpful, and I appreciated that he checked in with me to make sure everything was going well. The room was clean, I had a single which was quite small but I'm used to that from travelling through Europe. The guesthouse is located in a very convenient location, ten minutes from the pier and right across from the beach. You will find many good options for food nearby and even a laundromat if you need it. Very safe neighbourhood.

I enjoyed my stay in Brighton. The single room I stayed was functional even though it was less spacious. The bathroom was compact but the shower pressure was good which is very important for me. I slept well and really appreciate that there was a standing fan in the room which really helped cooling down the room. The neighborhood is quiet. There were a few building works happening along the street but it didn't deter my experience. I received all the guest emails from Jeremy. Although, I did send emails on two occasions but I haven't received any acknowledgement. It would have been nice to meet and interact with the staff/owners. Overall, it was a good stay. Definitely, will recommend the place and will return to Brighton on my next travel.

Hidden gem!
What a lovely hidden gem! My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised with the customer service. The host is very thorough and goes above and beyond to make your stay seamless and noteworthy. We especially liked the welcome box full of treats and fresh fruit to fuel our midnight snacking. The host provided parking permits that were a far better deal than finding and paying for space on your own. Conveniently located for walking to and from all the must sees of Brighton. Our only complaint and I’m sorry to have one at all is this room is on the top floor and it’s very hot at night making it difficult to sleep if you run warm. There are two fans, but even with them both on high and the window open my husband and I found it too hot. A window unit would be preferable. We would stay again despite the warm room and recommend to our friends.

Hello Adele 🤗 I hope you are all well and fighting fit 🙏 Thank you for your review and scoring 👍 Why didn’t you say anything about the Television, you only had to turn it on from the socket 👍 That issue would be resolved with a message or phone call 🙏 Such a shame. The adequate room (Lavender & Silver) is actually one of my favourite rooms and was priced very fairly. Take care and very best wishes, Jeremy

Very comfortable stay. Great location, great cafes, bars, shops and attractions nearby. Room and bed very comfortable, spacious, clean, great biscuits and hot drinks selection. Jeremy the manager was very friendly and helpful, letting me check in early and with the option of late check out (which I couldn’t manage due to need to catch earlier train). Recommended.

Everything about this stay was exactly what I needed. The room was comfortable and spacious, it felt clean and safe and the check-in and out process were as easy as can be.

Had a great stay here, ideal location and nice clean rooms. Originally booked this for March just as we went into lockdown which of course wasn't possible but the booking was changed to a time in September without any troubles. Great communication from Jeremy to arrange everything like Parking permits etc. Also was treated to a later check out time which was a bonus! Would definitely reccommed.

Great base for a trip to Brighton
Went to Brighton with my 2 daughters for a few days away. Brighton Surf was perfectly located for the sea front, pier and shopping. With parking permits available from the hotel we found parking in the surrounding streets relatively easily (just a little driving around at first.) The room was comfortable and well appointed with plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. The superking bed was super comfortable. Due to covid there was no housekeeping service which was OK but over 3 nights it was quite difficult to wash mugs in the tiny sink of the compact bathroom so it might have been good to have extra cups supplied for our stay. Regardless, it was a great base for our few days away and we enjoyed our tine very much. Our host was very good at communicating in the lead up to our stay and the checking in and out process was seamless. Thank you Jeremy and the Brighton Surf team :)

The owner was very informative about check in details and also flexible to allow us a later check out time. The room is centrally located and close to cafes, bars and restaurants. We stayed during the heatwave and found the room very hot at night even though we used the fan but I guess this is the same with all the accommodation in Brighton which does not have AC.

Owner was extremely accommodating. Room was really nice and comfortable, and amenities are good too. The (only) “downfall” was, the shower was tiny. Good job I’d lost a bit of weight, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to move lol. But would definitely stay again. Very nice place.

Clean, cozy, and near everything!
My wife and I had a quick getaway weekend in Brighton from Boston. Brighton Surf Guest House was the perfect place for us. A cozy room where the bed was almost too comfortable. We didn't want to leave! The place is literally seconds from the beach and close to a ton of little restaurants, pubs, and breweries. Jeremy, the owner, was super communicative and accommodating for check-in and check-out times. We loved Brighton and we will definitely stay at Brighton Surf when we come back!
