I recently stayed at Kipps Brighton and my experience was quite mixed. While the location is fantastic—just minutes from the beach and various attractions—the cleanliness and comfort left a lot to be desired. My room had issues with cleanliness, the shower was filthy, and the shared toilet had a strong odor. I did appreciate the friendly staff and the social atmosphere, but overall, there were significant drawbacks to my stay.

The room I stayed in was not well-maintained, with a noticeable odor and dirty shower. The presented double bed turned out to be two single mattresses pushed together, which was uncomfortable.

The location is undeniably one of the best features, being so close to the Brighton Pier and various attractions. It offers easy access for sightseeing and late-night outings.

I had a mixed experience at Kipps Brighton. The location was fantastic—just a short walk to the pier and other attractions. However, the room had an unpleasant smell and the shared facilities were quite dirty. The lack of lockers for my stuff after check-out was also a hassle and the bathroom was cramped. It’s decent if you just need a place to crash, but it fell short in areas that would make it truly enjoyable.

Rooms

The room was clean but had a dusty smell, making it less inviting. There were no lockers for my belongings before check-in or after check-out, which was disappointing.

Breakfast was okay, nothing special, and I would have liked a small bottle of water in the room, especially since I booked a private double room.

Facilities

The facilities could use some improvement as the communal bathrooms didn’t meet cleanliness standards. It felt cramped and not well-kept.

However, I faced issues with the room not having a toilet, and cleaning standards could be improved as the room had a dusty smell.

My room was clean but had a dusty smell and lacked a proper toilet. It's decorated with a trendy vibe but felt a bit cramped. Cleanliness was good overall, but it wasn't up to par for a comfortable stay.

Service

5.0

The staff were friendly and responded quickly to my questions, but I felt a lack of presence since there was no one around to assist in person. It was more of a contactless experience with pin code access.

Kipps is in a prime spot, just five minutes from the sea and the city center, making it easy to explore all of Brighton's attractions. I loved how everything was within walking distance.

My stay at Kipps Brighton was a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic, allowing easy access to the city center and the sea front, I faced several issues with my room's cleanliness and overall comfort. However, the friendly staff and inviting communal lounge were definite highlights that gave the stay a bit of charm.

Rooms

5.0

I found my room to be quite disappointing. It had a strong smell of urine, which was quite off-putting. The hot water was either scalding or freezing, making showers a bit of a challenge. Also, the room lacked proper ventilation, making it uncomfortably warm at night. I wish I had known to avoid the double room with the shower.

Service

5.0

While I had a smooth check-in process, my interactions with the staff felt indifferent overall. There wasn't much help available when I needed assistance, which was frustrating. However, there was one employee I encountered who was genuinely helpful, which gave me a little relief during my stay.

Location

8.0

One of the best aspects of my stay was the location, right in the center of Brighton and close to both the sea front and parks. It was perfect for exploring the city without much hassle, although the noise from outside was noticeable. Luckily, earplugs were available for those sensitive to sound.

The communal areas, including the lounge and outdoor terrace, were charming and inviting. I enjoyed the atmosphere there, and the frequent cleaning of shared facilities was reassuring, but the issues with the room really took away from my experience.
