Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Phoenix Halls enjoys a convenient location near the North Laines and just a short walk from the station and central Brighton, with bus stops around the corner providing easy access to the station or the pier and university. Guests appreciate the clean, basic rooms equipped with tables and chairs, especially suitable for work, and the convenience of power ports; plus, a welcome pack with water, tea, coffee, and biscuits is a nice touch. The shared kitchen is a highlight, being large, modern, clean, and equipped with a TV. Some guests have noted the absence of a TV in the rooms.

Solid Value for Money!

helpful staffwelcome bagunreliable wi-fi

The location offers easy access to shops and restaurants. The reception staff was friendly and helpful upon arrival. A welcome bag contained nice items. I found parking convenient. It made things much easier.

A service charge seemed high, given that the rooms are not cleaned daily. The Wi-Fi signal was unreliable. I struggled to stay connected. I hope they address this issue soon.
