Baggies Backpackers in Brighton … Baggies gave me some of the most precious memories of my young adulthood. Val, Jem, and the others I met there became family and dear friends, and that familial feeling radiates throughout the place. It simply has amazing energy, not to mention clean, comfortable digs. Whether for a day, or nine months, highly recommended.
Baggies Backpackers in Brighton … I stayed at Baggies this summer in August and I had an awesome time. It had a really cool bunch of people to chat and have a beer with, and it was clean. The two guys who ran the desk were good fun and I spent many hours just chilling downstairs and playing guitar! Overall, it's the best hostel I've been to in the UK! Thanks for the memories.
Baggies Backpackers in Brighton … I stayed here for just over a month and it is without doubt the best hostel I've ever stayed in. It's a fantastic hostel with great owners —it has excellent parties, good facilities, and a chilled crowd. It's got an awesome vibe about the place, and now that I'm living in Brighton I can't help but go back to visit—it feels like a home away from home. It's SO much better than any other backpackers in Brighton.
St. Christopher's Inn - Brighton in Brighton … Last year we stayed at another backpackers and had such a terrible experience that we were wary of hostels. No need to be. This place was excellent. Clean, good location and friendly, helpful staff. We stayed in an eight-bed dorm and had various backpackers and holidaymakers join us throughout the stay, some friendly, some shy. The room had air conditioning, and the toilet was cleaned daily, as were the bins emptied. We had a nice view of the pier and large, beautiful windows to let lots of light in.
Things to watch out for:
a) The eight-bed dorm only had one bathroom, which did get a bit tricky.
b) You have to re activate your card key daily.
c) The shower is absolutely CRAZY! It felt like a jet hose. Good if you're covered in beach-scum, I guess.
d) The wooden floors and metal bed frames made the room echo, so if you're coming in late or getting up early you have to be extra quiet. And try not to move around too much if you're a top bunker, the swaying made me…
St. Christopher's Inn - Brighton in Brighton … We had a great stay here. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially the night porter. The room was clean and bright. The bar was always clean and the food was wonderful. Give these people a raise, they deserve it.
St. Christopher's Inn - Brighton in Brighton … We came down Bank Holiday weekend for my Hen Party. We checked in easily. We had a slight problem with our rooms, which was sorted straight away with an apology, too!! We were also not kicked out for not being liked! Staff were welcoming and friendly. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms were small but fully functional and again clean. We found the price of the rooms very reasonable and a very decent breakfast is included. We were very satisfied and would recommend it to anyone who's thinking of going to Brighton.
Baggies Backpackers in Brighton … Awesome hostel. I lived there for six months in 2003. Cozy, friendly, clean, fun, warm, etc. Jim and Val, who own it, are the nicest people. If you get to meet them they'll treat you like family. I miss the friends I made at Baggies, and the atmosphere there more than anything. I will eat my socks if you have a bad experience there. It can be cliquey for the people that live there for long periods of time, but if you say hi, they will accept you as family.

Walkabout Backpackers in Brighton … One month there was one of my best holidays! Parties every night in the lounge! Such a good atmosphere, a lot of Spanish, Italian, French.... a big melting pot. And "going to the beach!" Enjoy!
Baggies Backpackers in Brighton … I was in this hostel about four years ago. It's such a good place to stay! Showers and toilets were always clean. In the basement, you've got a lounge, kitchen, and a washer and dryer (and that's cool and helpful!!!). The people who worked there at this time were amazing to me. I could have stayed two months there, time to find a flat mate and flat in Brighton. I think it's the best hostel in Brighton and the price is the best as well!
Baggies Backpackers in Brighton … I will come back here every time I go to Brighton. It's clean, peaceful, cheap and the people are lovely. It's one of the best hostels I've seen.
Baggies Backpackers in Brighton … I will come back here next year. This is the best place ever.
Baggies Backpackers in Brighton … I stayed at Baggies for three months in 1997 -- absolutely loved the place -- the best and most homey hostel I have ever stayed at in the twenty-five countries I have visited. Val and Jem were very friendly, and it was awesome to have breakfast and dinner with different people every day who were either coming back or going to Europe. I remember a crowd of Spanish came in, I put on the Spanish dance tracks on the CD player and within five minutes the lounge was packed with people dancing. Made some great friends there there that are still friends now in 2008.
