The hype
Travelers adore the host's warm welcome and the outstanding breakfast, but often mention the rooms feel a bit 'tired' and small.
Paskins Town House
$130-220 / noche
Reserva esto si You want a quirky, eco-conscious B&B with a legendary vegan-friendly breakfast in the heart of Kemptown.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Incredible cooked-to-order breakfast with 13+ options
- Charming Art Nouveau decor that feels personal, not corporate
- Prime Kemptown location—minutes from the pier but quieter than the center
Resumen rápido: It’s a creaky, strict-on-the-rules townhouse where the charm comes with thin walls and a lot of stairs.
Reseñado por @Shelleylovestotravel: I stayed in this cozy single room and honestly, it was perfect for a solo trip. The coffee station was stocked (free biscuits!), the bed was comfy, and the door code made me feel super secure. A solid budget find in Brighton.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
Ground floor rooms suffer from significant noise bleed from the kitchen, owners' quarters, and passing foot traffic.
- You are vegan or vegetarian (the breakfast menu is a holy grail)
- You prefer character and 'shabby chic' over sterile modern hotels
- You want to be in the LGBTQ+ friendly heart of Kemptown
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, though some guests note missed dust in high corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though older grout and sealant in some en-suites show age.
- Maintenance: The building is old and shows it—expect some peeling paint, creaky floors, and 'tired' carpets.
- Linens & towels: Clean and functional, but not luxury thread count. Towels can be a bit scratchy.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh, occasionally a faint musty smell in lower ground rooms or cooking smells near the kitchen.

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is there a lift?
No. It is a Grade II listed building with narrow, steep stairs.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, and it's the highlight. Huge selection of organic, local, and vegan options.
Can I bring my dog?
No. Despite some older reviews saying otherwise, the current policy is strictly no pets.
How does parking work?
The hotel sells daily permits (~£20) for Zone C street parking, but spaces aren't guaranteed. It's often a hunt.
Is there AC?
No. Rooms have radiators for heat and windows that open for a breeze (and seagull noise).
Can I check in late?
Only if pre-arranged. Reception closes at 8 PM sharp.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 'budget' rooms with shared bathrooms are a steal if you don't mind the hallway trek.
- ✨
Ask for a room at the back if you want to avoid the morning seagull chorus.
- ✨
The hotel has a stash of parking vouchers—call ahead to reserve one so you don't get stuck paying meter rates.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The owners live in the basement, so ground floor guests are basically roommates with them (hearing their TV, dogs, etc.).
💡The 'sea view' is often a sliver between other buildings, not a panoramic vista.
💡Water pressure in the top floor showers can be a bit weak.
💡The decor is 'eclectic' which sometimes means mismatched furniture and peeling wallpaper.
💡There is no bar on-site, but you can bring your own wine to the lounge.
