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/ yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want a quirky, eco-conscious B&B with a legendary vegan-friendly breakfast in the heart of Kemptown.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- 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
Pikakatsaus: It’s a creaky, strict-on-the-rules townhouse where the charm comes with thin walls and a lot of stairs.
Arvioinut @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.

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
Siisteys ja kunnossapito
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.

Ennen kuin varaat
Hyvä tietää
- Parking is a nightmare; buy a voucher from the hotel (~£20/day) or use the JustPark app for a spot further out.
- WiFi can be spotty in the basement/ground floor rooms.
- This is an eco-hotel; expect organic toiletries and a strong recycling ethos.
Mitä pakata
- Earplugs (essential for lower floors)
- Slippers (carpets are a bit worn)
- Smaller luggage (hauling a massive suitcase up narrow stairs is miserable)
Huone Genie
Parhaat valinnot
- First-floor Balcony Room (often has floor-to-ceiling windows and sea glimpses)

Huoneet, joita kannattaa välttää

“I would love to request a room on an upper floor, ideally with a bay window or sea view. Please avoid the ground floor as I am a light sleeper.”
FAQ & Piilotut vinkit
Kaikki mitä haluat todella tietää ennen varaamista.
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.
Sisäpiirin vinkit
- ✨
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 asiaa, jotka sinun pitää tietää ennen matkaasi
💡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.
