Brighton Accommodation

Brighton has one of the widest ranges in accommodation in small cities in England (I think). This is because the wide range of tourism this place gets. Since the diversity of touristic attractions, festivals, and activities is huge, the accommodation industry in Brighton has to reflect this diversity as well.

For example, Brighton accommodation can be five star hotels, hostels, B&B, hotels by the seafront, one of the massive Brighton hotels, or a decent hippie style hostel in the same area. Brighton has the highest density of pubs per capita. I think this applies to accommodation in Brighton.

The range of a cheap B&B in Brighton, in a very central area, 5 mins to the sea, 5 mins to the shops, 10 mins to the train station, all walking distance. It is very easy to find this area, after you leave the train station, walk south on Queen street, the same street the station is on, towards the sea. Once you reach the sea front, start walking left or right. You will find hotels, hostels and B&B all over. You can ask as well, of course. If you arrive by coach, you are right on the sea front at Pool valley coach station. Then you walk to Kemptown to your left, or to the right. In both areas you will find accommodation in all ranges and prices.

Brighton hosts several of the most lively and popular festivals in Britain. Brighton Gay Pride, London to Brighton race, cycling races, and of course, summer weekend trips to sun bathe in brighton beach. Accommodation in Brighton has all that range of people covered. The prices, styles, locations, discounts, deals make happy any type of visitor or stay.

There are many deals to suit all needs, from rental car included with your weekend room, or hen night organised or even special room for bicycles. One of the best tips for accommodation in Brihgton is to call or book in advance, especially on weekends since the visitors start to arrive on Friday and all the places are busy. If you book for a weekend you can get discounts on normal price.

Universities in Brighton

There are two universities in Brighton. Sussex University, which is in Falmer and Brighton university which has several campus in the area.

I study at Sussex University. It is a great multicultural university. It is well connected. You can arrive to Sussex university by train (to Falmer station) or by bus (there are 4 bus routes).

On campus there a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees

My Brighton and Hove

In 2002 I arrived to Brighton. I came to study for less than a year. I can still remember my first time in England and the cold air into my face after going through the doors of Heathrow airport. At the time I had even trouble pronouncing Brighton in a way that the couch driver could say yes and help me to take my bags.

After several years, I am convinced that this town is one of the interesting and fun places I have been. There are so many things going on. Also many big events in my life have ocurred while living here. Sad moments, happy moments, exciting ones, etc. I have a soft spot for this place.

This is an attempt to reflect these feelings for this place and share them with many people.

Cheers.
