The seaside resort town of Brighton, UK. This Sussex town dates back to the Bronze Age and then grew during the Middle Ages. This town fought off armies and the elements, but both took their toll in decreasing the strength of this city. In modern times, Brighton is popular for its diverse communities, quirky shopping areas, largely cultural, music and arts scene, and its large LGBT population. The city invites millions of day and overnight travelers and is especially popular with foreign travelers.
Though this area is known as a resort town, there are several budget options for travelers looking to experience the South of England without bankrupting themselves. If you are looking to visit Brighton and spend less than 70 USD per night, check out the following options.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on December 18, 2024.
