Where to Stay

There are tons of options when it comes to where to stay. We suggest Airbnb, or using an app like Trivago to help you compare prices for hotels. Brighton can get pretty crowded on the weekends in the summertime, so definitely book sooner rather than later. You can use the Royal Pavilion as a home base when searching for hotels or airbnbs. Brighton is a very walkable city, but there’s also frequent bus services. Don’t hesitate to message either of us about potential hotels or Airbnb’s if you’re unsure about the location.
