St. Christopher's at The Palace Hotel has a number of advantages for the backpacker wanting to visit Brighton. The location is fantastic; just over the road from the main pier and just five minutes walk from the main shopping district. Around the corner you will find the coach station and the main train station is only a short cab ride away.
The dorms are large and spacious, the ensuite bathrooms are clean (maids clean your room daily) and if you get in the right room you have a fabulous view of the Palace Pier, which is particularly good at night. Some of the rooms have windows that won't open and can become quite stuffy during the day.
On the downside the hostel had none of the facilities a backpacker needs. It does have a large bar with all the big screen entertainment you can handle and an addition night-club nearby, but no laundry or kitchen facilities and no place to "hang-out" and socialise other than the aforementioned. The hostel does provide a morning breakfast consisting of cereal, toast, jam, tea, and coffee.
There is no curfew, although you may have to knock on the door to get in late. Check out time is 10 AM, but check-in time isn't until 2 pm, so don't arrive early. The cost can range depending on how many are in your dorm, but expect to pay slightly more than other backpackers in Brighton.
