Cheap stay in good location

If you need a bolt hole then it’s perfect. The “check in” worked well. No problems and the host was contactable by phone and very helpful. They called to make sure we had key etc. You get what you pay for and this is what you would expect. It’s very close to the beach and it was very quiet at night.

Oyo hotel Brighton

Reviews on hotels.com are from year's ago. Recent Trip advisor reviews revealed a dirty, run down place. Hotel taken over as homeless hostel during covid and left in a less than desirable state. Rather than put ourselves through this we didnt go. Hotels.com and hotel refused refund despite false advertising. Very disappointing and changed my once positive view of the company.

Room was dirty, and bathroom was disgusting. Including hairs on the mirror, around shower and the bin lid was vile. Including used toiletry bottle and empty toilet rolls from previous guest. And the viewing window from bed directly to the toilet seat really was comical. Did not have high expectations due to price but basic cleanliness would have been appreciated. Location was great though.

OYO Guest House review

It was a one night stay for me and my daughter. We had a twin room. The room was clean. Clean towels were provided and there was a kettle (only 1 cup mind!). The downsides were the beds were extremely uncomfortable..you could feel every spring in the mattress. The room was very warm and even with the window open all night it was still uncomfortable. But to be honest, the room was very cheap at £55 per night so i guess you get what you pay for. I probably wouldn't go back purely because we had such a bad nights sleep.

Really disappointing

Photos shown look like they are from another place. Our room was nothing like the ones shown!! Nobody at property all key safes etc…. Our room had one window with a broken blind and was soooo hot. And the noise from cleaners etc was shocking!! They must realise people may still be asleep when you don’t have to check out till 10am. Really disappointed with the whole thing

Grubby room overall - dirty mattress, property didn't feel secure - security codes to open main door and to get room key, light fittings loose, blind fell off (fixed on with velcro), no aircon or fan, area not v nice. No reception for check in. No sign to identify hotel outside. No toilet roll holder. No soap. Could be a great hotel. Very disappointing. Would not recommend.

It was very obvious that the 'cleaner' only changed the bedding and did nothing else. The room design must have been lovely once but sadly it was so filthy we couldn't even put our bags on the floor. It was disgusting. Scumline around the bath, with hair and dirt from previous use. The floor had not been vacummed or mopped at all so there were bits, hair and dirty footprints in room and over the floor tiles around the bath. The floor was sticky with lighter areas of previous liquid spills. Dirty smears around switches and walls; urine around the toilet behind seat had dried and smelt disgusting. Black scum in shower. Foul smell in bedroom. The windows looked out onto a courtyard of litter including cans and cigarette butts. The headboard had several, smeared hand prints. All of this unhygenic and disgusting filth could have been removed by a proper cleaner, there is no excuse for this unacceptable standard. On top of this the internet did not work even after inputting the password given, which was accepted, there was no signal.

Room 5 is photo’s great - real thing needs work

A real shame as the place should be good however without a toilet door, lights that automatically turn on and light up the room in the middle of the night for 20 mins it really does need some work. Maintenance simply has not been maintained…

Reasonable, some key issues

Overall, not the best nor the worst I've ever stayed in. Reasonable for price. I had no issues with checking in, but encountered many guests who did - I was WhatsApped the codes and details although others apparently were not, if the same had happened to me I'd be reviewing this with fewer stars. Fairly comfy bed, not great pillows but workable. Bath was nice once I worked out the plug. Shower good but really do take heed with reviewers saying it floods - I had about 5 mins in there and it only just stopped flooding into the bedroom. Needs sorting out for sure. Nice room otherwise, large, window locks seem to have been fixed so all good. Did repeatedly have people at my door, however not threateningly - they had purely not been told which room was there's so were stuck trying every one.

Never again!

Stayed in the basement room the photos on hotels.com had lovely bay windows. Not mine! Only 2 towels for 2 people, Bathroom floods and stays flooded all night with the water settling in around the toilet and because it’s a stone floor the water is freezing. Only one dim light above the mirror so it’s not great if you can’t see well! The room is very dark with only 2 bulbs working over the bed. No main overhead lights worked. The WiFi didn’t work. A chap come to sort it but he couldn’t and the response was there is nothing I can do!

I’ll give it another chance as I’ve stayed before

I have stayed in this place before and had a great time. This time I decided to book the deluxe room as my works budget managed to stretch to it. I was really looking forward to relaxing after a long day at work combined with a long drive down to Brighton. I got there and there were workmen drilling and sawing. I decided to have a shower and head out until the workmen would finish. I went to go out of the shower to grab something and because I was obviously wet I bought water out with me. This subsequently caused the entire bathroom to puddle with water and it was still not gone before I left. So I had to wear shoes every time I needed the toilet.

Small room, but had all we needed in living a kettle with tea and coffee for the morning! Reasonably clean. Easy check in. We stayed on a super hot night and there was a fan in the room to try and help cool us down! Slightly out of the way from the hustle and bustle of the centre of town so was reasonably quiet because of this. Comfy. I’d stay here again!

Cheap, some issues to fix.

Positives: 1. Price was cheap. 2. Check in was easy. 3. Bed was comfortable. Negatives: 1. Shower tray does not drain quickly enough, meaning water soon floods the bathroom. I used a towel to stop water flooding the bedroom. This is unsafe. 2. Light above bed does not work. 3. Guttering outside window leaks and causes drips onto window ledge. This means water splashes into room and soaks the curtain when the window is open.

Vile, dirty, mouldy DO NOT STAY HERE

The most vile dirty hotel I have ever stayed in. Dirty dirty dirty. This is NOT a 4 star hotel. Unless you like, toe nails all over your floor, dirty used q tips and mess and dirt on the floors, a black mouldy shower, no tv remote to use the tv, broken blinds, hair around the bathroom and sink, or just living in filth, then this is the place for you. Vile hotel. Poor customer service. They did nothing when we complained accept say sorry, the cleaners have gone home, just try and enjoy your night. I’m not a Karen and this hotel made me utter the words., can I speak to the manager. Vile vile dirty gross room. The pictures I took don’t even come close to showing the filth of this room. It has not been cleaned in god knows how long. To the hotel… your cleaners are ripping you off! Vile vile vile! Zero hanging space. No draws, not that you would want to use them anyway. No hair dryer, no tv remote so the tv is usless. Paper thin walls and can hear everything. The “garden” is just a pitt of cigarette butts. One towel each, no flannel or hand towels. This is NOT 4 stars. I would give it a 1 star. I’ve seen cleaner public toilets than I have this room. “Site manager” came and saw the room and said he would support a refund, but hotel refused. Despite sending all the pictures and evidence.
