Stayed here for 2 nights and whilst not bad value you get what you pay for ! Lift broken during our stay, only two thin pillows for a king size bed, room not made up during our stay despite leaving sign up to make up room and bathroom stunk of weed when you put the fan on. Overall not a great stay and would not recommend!

No TV / speakers / form of entertainment in the room which you would get in more budget hotels so not sure why it wasn’t included here. Room was also very cold.

Basic cleanliness was poor, beside tables were full of dust and bedsheets were sandy. Upon arrival, the room wasn’t ready despite arriving at check in time, so we had to wait an hour for it to be ready. Staff were nice but unhelpful when we had problems with our radiator.

Great stay, lovely staff!
Special shout-out to the night time receptionist Koffee as he was so lovely to chat with and keeping an eye out for any randomers trying to get in! The free tea and coffee in reception was nice as there is no kettles in the room, it was annoying at first having to go up and down but actually nice as I stopped for a chat with the reception staff more. Actually all 3 of the reception members I interacted with were all lovely and so helpful. It was nice they were there out of hours as I checked in late into the evening. The rooms were very clean and bed linen was clean and comfortable. I would have loved a tv in the room , and maybe a jug for water & extra glasses. But nothing that would put me off staying again I’m sure if I asked they would have accommodated. I booked an en suite double as it wasn’t clear on the hotels site if that meant the standard double wasn’t en-suite, so thought I should mention that. The style and refurbishment of the hotel is great and very trendy/ if you are travelling for work it’s nice they have a cafe space during the day that you can work in, again staff very friendly in there. All in all, very good. Better for younger travellers probably but if you want something out of the boring holiday inn beige, would definitely recommend here and better prices too.

Freezing cold go to Prem inn or travelodge
Hotel from the outside looks ok stands out on the seafront. Receptionist was polite, door lock wasn’t easy to open for our room. We had a family room we did not have a desk or chair in the room and I found it bizarre there was no tv. One tiny radiator down the end of the room for a large ish room was absolutely freezing! Even when heating was turned on wasn’t particularly warm and there was no radiator or towel rail in the bathroom so it was Baltic in there! Shower was not what I would call a rainfall shower very small shower head that just about did the job but for the money paid for the room I wouldn’t say it is worth it. Wouldn’t stay again would be better off in a premier inn or travelodge at least they have decent heating and a tv. I did like the style of the room and the bunk bed was cool and my son did like it. Also very loud in and outside of the hotel so if your a light sleeper I wouldn’t bother. I would say this is still hostel status rather than a more upmarket hotel.

JEANI

Travelled with family
Disliked: Amenities
By far the best thing about Selina Brighton was the welcoming staff who were excellent . The location is also great. However the rooms ( while v clean) are very basic for a ‘hotel’. No kettle, no TV etc. and a bit worn out. Also don’t advertise a restaurant that doesn’t exist and a coffee /breakfast area that is closed. Not impressive.

Hi Jeani,Thank you for your feedback and review, we appreciate you taking the time to write it. We're sorry to hear your stay was less than satisfactory, while we don't advertise having kettle or tv in our rooms, we do have a complimentary tea/coffee station at reception, and a co-work space with books and games available to use! We will be taking your feedback on board, and hopefully will have made the necessary improvements if you decide to stay with us again. Keep an eye out for our restaurant reopening soon!

Exceptional good value
We spent 4 nights at The Selina. We felt that is was exceptionally good value for a budget hotel. Our room was spacious and very clean. Lovely bathroom with great quality products. The hotel is a quirky and very different to the type of place we usually stay. But we really enjoyed our stay. We like the environmental ethos. All the staff we dealt with were friendly and welcoming. The area was great, with great restaurants and bars just a stone’s throw away. If you are on a budget, then we would highly recommend. We will definitely stay again on our next trip to Brighton

The Selina Brighton is situated beautifully across from the English Channel. It's super close to the train station and close to the points of interest in Brighton but also offers a quieter spot in the city. Staff here are incredibly friendly and happy to assist you! Thank you Selina & the lovely staff Honey for making this stay so special. Not only will I return to Brighton and stay at the Selina but as well look at their hotel options globally!
