Great location, will return.
Great location, comfy, good communication from owner/host
Property was in a great location, lots of bars, restaurants and cafes all within walking distance, and just around the corner from the beach.
The place itself is very clean and secure and we had a great stay.
Brilliant location. The room had everything you need. A thoughtful welcome pack which included tea, coffee , milk , biscuits water and some fruit.
Jeremy was quick to respond and extremly helpful.
Lovely room in a great location. Brilliant customer service and a really easy check in/out procedure. The only downside is that the cold tap on the shower wasn’t working properly and the lights above the vanity mirror weren’t working. Apart from those two minors things, everything else was brilliant.
We are a stone grow away from the Brighton pier and the beach is so close to the hotel, we booked in to the hotel and we had a message from the owner a couple of days before we were supposed to book in saying that they have upgraded a room for free. We are in such a lovely cosy room. We have a big TV that has great sound and picture on it, lots of room to move around and we were surprised that we have a refrigerator in the room, no hotels have that so we were shocked that we had a refrigerator. We have gone away on our honeymoon and this has just been the best experience we have ever had. I will be staying here again 100% next year in the summer. If I was you, if you want somewhere to stay, that’s cheap cosy and so close to the beach. I would recommend staying here the owner is amazing and helpful I cannot express how lovely the housekeeping is. He was so lovely every time that we passed him he would be smiling and greeting us in the morning. You cannot hear any foot traffic at all through the building. I love the fact that the bathroom is ensuite and we have a shower we have shampoo and conditioner with soap already supplied. I could not believe the little complimentary refreshment on the side as we walked into the room. We have stayed here for one week and we have loved it. It’s been the best break away from London that we could have asked for the bed is the most comfiest bed we’ve ever slept on. I don’t think my husband has slept in a better bed than this.
We loved this Guest House so much. Jeremy is always available by text/email should you need any help. Its very close to the beach front, maybe 5/10 mins walk to the beach and pier too, and not far from the shops either. We loved the little complimentary boxes in the rooms too, and we were offered a bit of room service half way through our stay too, to top things up, which was a lovely touch on top too!
Our only negative was the shower being so small and cramped, and we kept getting suctioned to the curtain while showering, but in a narrow building, there's not a lot of space for bigger showers!
We stayed here last July and enjoyed our stay, plenty to do from being only 5 minute walk from the beach and 10 minute's walk to the town, the Legend put so friendly staff, yes we will book again for next to for a lovely break away for me and my partner,
A lovely room that had a generous welcome pack and excellent communication from the staff via email. I was a little concerned that there was no staff on site but everything was thought of and there is a 24 hour mobile number. Also 2 minutes from the beach and less than 10 from the pier.
We had an enjoyable stay at Brighton Surf Guesthouse. There was an issue with the shower and although it could not be resolved during our stay it was dealt with with care which was appreciated.
Thank you to Jeremy for having a lovely property. I didn’t realize when I booked it was a basement suite, but once down the precarious staircase the room was MARVELOUS. A proper king sized bed (not the UK version) and wonderful treats and snacks, a most welcome surprise after a long drive!! I would absolutely stay here again!
I had a lovely stay at Brighton Surf, I received very clear and precise self check in instructions as well as great information about the area as well as directions to the property. The owner Jeremy is very helpful, and I appreciated that he checked in with me to make sure everything was going well. The room was clean, I had a single which was quite small but I'm used to that from travelling through Europe. The guesthouse is located in a very convenient location, ten minutes from the pier and right across from the beach. You will find many good options for food nearby and even a laundromat if you need it. Very safe neighbourhood.
I enjoyed my stay in Brighton. The single room I stayed was functional even though it was less spacious. The bathroom was compact but the shower pressure was good which is very important for me. I slept well and really appreciate that there was a standing fan in the room which really helped cooling down the room. The neighborhood is quiet. There were a few building works happening along the street but it didn't deter my experience. I received all the guest emails from Jeremy. Although, I did send emails on two occasions but I haven't received any acknowledgement. It would have been nice to meet and interact with the staff/owners. Overall, it was a good stay. Definitely, will recommend the place and will return to Brighton on my next travel.

Poor experience
I arrived and self checked in, my room couldn’t have been smaller, the en suite door wouldn’t fully open as it hit the bed. The toilet wouldn’t flush and I was asked to try harder twice. After this failed (I’ve been flushing toilets for over 60 years) I was offered another room the next day. I found hairs on the bed in that room and I had to draw the curtains because there was a man on scaffolding outside painting my window frame inches from me. The sink was too small to fill the kettle and the shower was small, a larger person would have struggled with it. The ground floor smelt of cooking fish on entry. Cheap but not cheerfull.
What a lovely hidden gem! My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised with the customer service. The host is very thorough and goes above and beyond to make your stay seamless and noteworthy. We especially liked the welcome box full of treats and fresh fruit to fuel our midnight snacking. The host provided parking permits that were a far better deal than finding and paying for space on your own. Conveniently located for walking to and from all the must sees of Brighton. Our only complaint and I’m sorry to have one at all is this room is on the top floor and it’s very hot at night making it difficult to sleep if you run warm. There are two fans, but even with them both on high and the window open my husband and I found it too hot. A window unit would be preferable. We would stay again despite the warm room and recommend to our friends.
