Stayed here for one night. The staff is really nice and friendly and can easily make you feel at home. The room we were allocated in was quite small, but it was acceptably clean. The shower was quite old but it was practically just for our room, the same for the toilet. The kitchen was a bit old, but had... More

My friend and I traveled to Brighton for a long weekend and loved our stay at baggies. We are both female, 21 yrs, stayed in the mixed dorm and we felt safe and comfortable for our entire stay. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the other people in our dorm respected our privacy whilst being friendly. We loved the quirkiness... More

This is a safe hostel, with very comfortable seating areas including plenty of books and film entertainment. There are quiet areas and a more partying room depending on your mood. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hostel is in a beautiful building (the properties are listed along the street). There is also a good kitchen and large eating... More

My wife and I want a nice quite weekend away in Brighton. Instead we got Baggies. The location is good two mins from the beach and 2 mins from a Sainsbury’s in the opposite direction but that is where the good points end. The hostel has a large number of permanent residents who partied and sang until the early hours.... More

I stayed here as part of a group for a hen party so we booked a private room. I think the room was meant for 4 people and we had 5 so it was pretty cosy but absolutely fine for a hostel. We were upstairs so were not disturbed by any noise from downstairs, but I imagine it could be... More

Great cosy hostel with nice atmosphere. We had a double room on the top floor which we enjoyed a lot. The other guests were also very nice, as well as the staff. We stayed 4 nights, and liked it a lot. There was some parties going on downstairs some nights which was nice, and the bedrooms are some floors up... More

What a welcoming / lovely place. The staff and the managers get out of their way to help you and make you feel part of the big Baggies Family that they all are! This place is a model of how backpackers hostels around the would should all be : caring about people as individuals and making travellers feel at home... More

A great location - good facilities - helpful staff - messy dorms. In the main dorm (12 + 6 people), there are "residentials": people living there monthly. They spread their stuffs everywhere so you can bearly walk in the room, they are rude and put the music on, smoke and argue at 5 am with no respect for the other... More
