a&o Hostel Brighton - Affordable stays

Our affordable a&o hostel Brighton boasts an unbeatable location. Just a 3-minute stroll to the beach and Brighton Pier, the most famous pier in the southern English seaside. Our hostel is perfect for travel enthusiasts wanting to soak in the fresh sea air. Only a 20-minute walk from Brighton train station, our beachside hotel is centrally located and easily accessible by public bus. This makes it an excellent choice for a seaside holiday or a quick trip to London, which is only an hour’s drive away.

But Brighton has so much more to offer! The city, nestled on the English Coast, features stunning chalk cliffs to the east that are best explored on a scenic walk. The area around the new marina has transformed into a modern harbour district brimming with pubs, restaurants and a relaxed atmosphere where you can admire the boats and yachts. For a bird’s-eye view, visit the Brighton i360 observation tower. This spectacular 162-metre-high tower, with its circular viewing platform, lifts you 138 metres above sea level, offering the highest observation point in the United Kingdom.

Don't miss the Royal Pavilion, a former royal residence resembling an Indian palace. Built at the beginning of the 19th century, this architectural gem is just a short 3-minute walk from the a&o hostel Brighton and a delightful addition to any visit.

The southern English city of Brighton, the most famous seaside resort in the United Kingdom, hosts the centrally located a&o Hotel Brighton Beach right next to the beach. The Beach, a celebrated landmark opened 125 years ago, is a symbol of Brighton. Stretching over 500 metres, the pier boasts an amusement park with roller coasters and other attractions. You can enjoy snacks and drinks at one of the many outlets nearby or relax and enjoy the convenience of the a&o hotel's 24-hour bar.

Did you know that both Stan Laurel and Charlie Chaplin began their careers here, entertaining passers-by with their comedic talents? They later emigrated to the USA and became global stars. Even the Spice Girls had one of their very first live performances on the pier in 1996, shortly before skyrocketing to fame with their hit "Wannabe". So, keep your eyes and ears open when you're there – you might just bump into a future star around Brighton Beach.

The a&o hostel Brighton is the perfect starting point for excursions:

"London Calling" was sung by the legendary rock band The Clash, and hardly any other song gets you in the mood for the English capital like this one. The Gatwick Express train takes you to Victoria station in the centre of London in just over an hour. From there, you can stroll to Westminster Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, or Hyde Park in just a few minutes. All the other must-see sights on any sightseeing tour are easily accessible via the London Underground: Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, London Eye, Tate Modern, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower of London, Tower Bridge and much more. This makes a day trip to London worthwhile for all guests at the a&o hostel in Brighton.

If you prefer to stay along the coast, you can drive to Portsmouth (approx. 70 minutes) or further on to the harbour city of Southampton (approx. 110 minutes). From Portsmouth, you can catch the ferry to the Isle of Wight, home to the annual music festival of the same name held every June. In Southampton, the SeaCity Museum hosts a permanent exhibition commemorating the ill-fated maiden voyage of the Titanic, which embarked on 10 April 1912 and met its tragic fate on the night of 14-15 April 1912. Southampton remains a departure point for many cruises to this day, making the a&o Hotel Brighton a convenient and economical choice for cruise passengers before or after their voyage.

A holiday in a beach hotel doesn't have to be expensive, as the new a&o hotel in Brighton proves. Just a stone's throw from the beach and sea, our hostel is located on the famous Brighton Pier.

Beach holidaymakers and partygoers will get their money's worth here, as you can swim and sunbathe anywhere on the 9-kilometre-long beach. The cafés and restaurants invite you to linger, and in the evenings, the city's bars and clubs buzz into the night.

At the a&o Brighton Beach, the reception and hotel bar are open around the clock to provide all guests with drinks, snacks and useful information and tips. The free WiFi keeps you connected at all times, and the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet offers a varied alternative to the English breakfast.
