I stay at Seadragon every time I visit Brighton and it's always excellent. The staff are so friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them and they're really knowledgeable about things that are going on in the city. The location is also really good, right in the middle of town and opposite the beach. I would highly recommend this hostel... More

This is exactly what I would expect from a backpackers. Excellent location and very central. Our room was basic but clean. ( the manager informed me they were about to begin a refurb) Room rate was very reasonable. I would not hesitate to stay here again. More

This hostel is NOTHING like the website, which implies that it is a friendly family run business. Staff were very young and rather drunk when we checked in, and we didn't see much of them over the whole weekend. We stayed in 4 bed dorm, which was a box room with 2 sets of bunk beds, barely enough floor space... More

As the member of staff that checked you in I can happily confirm I was not 'drunk' nor had I anything to drink :) You booked your dorm room via Hostel World, it clearly states all our rooms are Mixed-Sex, you also said it was okay for you to stay in the smaller dorm via e-mailed previous to your stay....

This hostel was 'good' without being 'great'. I was in a twin room (one bunk bed) - the beds were comfortable. There wasn't anywhere to put things (cupboard, etc) but the room was small so there were few options. The shared bathroom was clean and everything in it worked. The kitchen was large and well-stocked. The communal area with TV,... More

Nothing major wrong with this hostel and would be happy to stay again if I was with a group of friends for a similar type of trip. First impressions were not good because despite it clearly saying on the website that the peace and security of their neighbours (it's a residential street) was paramount and they would not tolerate any...

We have stayed at the Seadragon twice, Aug 2009 and Aug 2010, for Brighton Pride. It is by far the cheapest accomodation in the area over pride weekend. Lady who runs it is always really nice. Rooms have bunk beds. Shared bathroom on each floor (shared between two rooms i think). Maybe a 15-20 min walk along the sea front... More

I'm travelling alone so wanted to meet others, this was easy in the kitchen and living room. The staff are friendly and helpful and the place was clean at tidy, 1 minute walk from the seafront and a short walk to Brighton Pier, very close to supermarkets and foods from all over the world are all around. Would come back!! More

Found this hostel when planning a last minute trip to Brighton. It was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is fantastic…approx 20 minute walk to Brighton Pier, 1 minute walk to seafront. Dorms were spacious enough, TV room was good, kitchen was well equipped (Cornflakes, bread, milk, jam, Tea/coffee provided), bathrooms were fine, the place was kept pretty clean,... More
