Phoenix Halls

I stayed for 4 nights in July and was extremely happy with my stay. This is student accommodation, with shared kitchen facilities, for anyone to expect the shared kitchen facilities to be regularly cleaned by staff is just unfair. Just like the students that live there most of the year, the people using the kitchen should clean up after themselves. I found the kitchen extremely clean and well equipped. The room was very basic but honestly, I don't understand how they can even rent rooms at such low prices without making a loss. If I had paid normal hotel prices (VERY expensive in Brighton during the summer months and popular events!) I would have of course had different expectations but I knew what I was booking and was positively surprised. The location was central and I could walk everywhere which was a huge bonus, the train station was within a walking distance as well. Staff were SUPER helpful, accessing the rooms was easy and I found it very quiet even though we were in the city centre. I was also expecting lots of noisy students and young people to be banging the doors and roaming around the corridors at night but this didn't happen either. I would definitely stay here again and hope to be able to return soon!

Good location / good price / ok staff . Bed was uncomfortable/ sharp corners on bed led to nasty scratch. Very noisy on my floor , door constantly slamming . No sleep Something needs to be done re doors . Basically no frills but Brighton is expensive to stay Wouldn’t stay again..
