We went to sobo for a birthday bash in brighton. I appreciate the cheap price, but I still feel basic human needs was not worth saving a £Fiver. The place was shabby and in need of renovation. The beds were like boot camp and not at all comfy and my friends bed sheet had a gross looking stain on it.... More

We`ve been there only for a few nights but we loved it . It was very clean and the staff were very pleasant …large chill out areas with large kitchens …Tesco’s just up the road was a bonus as were the numerous bars and restaurants …beach virtually opposite More

I was very happy with my over night stay at the SoBo. You get what you pay for, no frills (not even a plug socket!) but very clean and staff are friendly. No curfew and it is easy to come and go as you like, perfect for us as we were clubbing until 6 in the morning so just needed... More

Isn't it funny how the only reviews that the "Manager" of SoBo is claiming (on behalf of Trip Advisor!) to have under review are those that are negative? This place is a disaster zone and makes Baghdad bedsit look like a preferable option. Avoid at all costs if you have any hope of surviving your stay disease free! More

We stayed here for one night and thankfully that was it! Our room was for 4 people with a private bathroom, however it was a little grubby to say the least. We all opted to shower when we got home as that seemed like the more hygenic option! The wooden floors weren't in the best condition so I'd recommend taking... More

This hostel has a lot of weird older long term residence. Not a fun hostel. Had a very uncomfortable vibe. I would recommend staying elsewhere. A terrible choice if you are traveling solo. More

SoBo is in a good location with the best security i have seen during my travels and has easy access other parts of the city. The rooms are far from fancy but they are clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend it to any traveller. More

We only stayed one night so maybe I can not make a massive judgement on this place but I booked a room for 4 just to crash after a night out in Brighton and it served its purpose. I was called the day before to say there was a mix up and we couldn't have en-suite room just one with... More

A very basic hostel, rooms with an adequate bed and nothing more. Shared facilities (including bathrooms) aren't in the best condition. It is poor, but also extremely cheap which makes it hard to really slam - anybody who pays such a minimal fee for a night ought to have low expectations. That said, I've stayed in cheaper places that were... More
