Seadragon Backpackers

I went to Seadragon with my family back in April and it was LOVELY! The staff were very kind and our room was so so clean! The wifi was also very dependable so I could keep my French streak and get the owl away!😎

There are also lovely views from some rooms and very well situated towards the promenade and a lil Waitrose!

What a lovely little hostel. The reception guy John is so sweet and helpful. Just a really lovely guy. 

This place has all you need really. Kitchen with all the equipment you want. Even a small continental breakfast is included. 

The lounge is very comfortable and has plenty to keep you entertained 

The bed was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, out of all the hostels I stayed at. The room was nice and airy. 

The hostel was clean and well decorated. 

No issues what do ever. Thanks for a great stag Seadragon :-) 

I had a lovely stay here and met some nice people. The check-in and checks at 1pm/11am are better than most places offer. Having the option to cook which I didn't as I only stayed for 3 days is a real plus and breakfast provided made it good value for money. I would return again

I spent two nights here this month. I loved the positioning near the sea and the hostel has great facilities. Very friendly staff and it was easy to meet other travellers. We went along to the events recommended by the hostel: an open mic and the Artista bar which does stand-up comedy - highly recommend!

Great location, wonderful host, good dormitory,  lovely shower....fab kitchen for brekkie!! Great value for a nightstop in Brighton!
Joe was very welcoming, let us put our bags in room until we needed to get our train back home....On arrival, he showed us the kitchen fridge, which housed a surplus bottle of fizz from previous guests....he told us to help ourselves!!
Cheers Joe! X

After getting evicted from my rented flat I’d lived in for 9yrs after Christmas 2021 I was at a loss as to where to stay in Brighton that wouldn’t exceed my budget.

Seadragon Backpackers happened to be at the top of my street, so they were the first obvious choice for me whilst I recovered from the emotional turmoil my recent eviction had put me in.

Their price points are spot on with regards to affordability and staying there allowed me to continue saving towards a deposit on a new flat whilst I continued my search for a reasonably priced property to rent within the Brighton & Hove area.

The hostel is very well situated, with grocery stores, restaurants and the beach all within walking distance.

I ended up staying there for an entire month and only moved on to another local backpackers due to them closing for their yearly hostel renovations… which is when I found out first hand that they’re for sure the best hosts and hostel in Brighton & Hove!.  I won’t mention the other hostel I stayed at but the contrast was stark and very unenjoyable!.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting reasonably priced accommodation in the city.

Super comfortable beds, regularly cleaned rooms/communal areas, heavy cotton bed linen with great kitchen facilities … although the hostel is a tad tight on space structurally, they make the very most of it and they’re always very welcoming.  Wishing them all the very best with their endeavours!.

Really lovely place, first time solo traveling and so glad I stayed at the Seadragon. It was cozy, safe, the managers are personable and kind and had so many cool amenities like a hair dryer, straightener and yummy breakfast. Also daily recommendations for things to do! So amazing

I had really good time in Sea Dragon, the place is clean and cosy and if it is your first time in Brighton the staff will tell you many cool places to visit. The location is perfect and your breakfast is sorted :)) many thanks to John and Joe 👊 they make sure you enjoy being there

Went here with my mother after spontaneously deciding to stay in Brighton. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and at good standard and we could see the ocean from our window. The kitchen was well equipped and the breakfast had several options. The manager was great and helpful so we were very happy with our stay here!

This hostel exceeded my expecations by far! I had to do a late check-in after midnight and Joe, one of the staff members made sure I could access the hostel late at night. The rooms are really nice. Everything seems brand new and nothing is worn off. The matress was far better than my own at home. They are literally most comfortable. Felt like sleeping at my house :) 
There is a bathroom on each floor and they were cleaned and looked after each day I was there. You would even get a towel and a hair dryer if needed. The kitchen is the best equipped I've ever seen in a hostel and coffee and tea is free all day, breakfast seemed plentyful, although only till 10am, but never had any in the hostel because just next door there is a lovely sandwich shop which is also worth a visit. 
The communal area has got a smart TV you can use all day and Joe makes sure to always keep the board up to date, showing all the great things to do and to see in and around Brighton. 
There is literally no critizism I have for this place and would recommend this hostel to anyone travelling Brighton and Hove. Thanks so much and I'll definitely be back!

One of the best holidays

Lovely stay! Friendly staff

I enjoyed my stay at Seadragons. It is in a great location, about a 20 minute walk from the train station and just up the road from the seaside. Property was clean, very secure and safe. There wasn't much of an atmosphere but I imagine that might be because of the time of year or because many of the guests were participating in the marathon. I didn't use the kitchen but it looked like it had everything someone could possibly need. Great hostel :)

Great hostel

Beautiful Brighton

Fabulous

Great hostel run by a fantastic team!

Above expectations

Not your average hostel

Such a lovely hostel!! Great central location right next to the beach. Fantastic price for the nice rooms (the female dorm is especially nice) and the newly renovated bathrooms, it also has a plethora of cooking facilities in the kitchen downstairs. Joe is really great and super helpful with things to do locally and encouraging everyone in the hostel to meet and make new friends. Highly recommend. Thanks guys :-))

Awesome Hostel! And an Awesome Manager

It was really lovely to stay there! The room was cozy and the bed very comfy. The shower/toilets were very clean which was appreciable. 
I visited during COVID-19 and all the safety measures were applied. The hostel is well located ( 15 min walk to city center and about 5 min to the beach). Lovely neighbourhood,  with a lot of restaurants. I recommend!

I decided to come a few days so I could work in a quiet but also nice environment so all my expectations were met.

🇫🇷 For my fellow French people, si vous cherchez une auberge de jeunesse, bien située et avec un excellent rapport qualité/ prix, n’hésitez pas!
