Where to Stay in Brighton: Snooze B&B – A Unique Funky Twist on Traditional Bed & Breakfast
Typically, booking a B&B in England means expecting a cozy, traditional British home with charming, old-fashioned rooms that evoke a homely atmosphere. I adore B&Bs for their intimate scale—you often chat with the owners, creating a personal experience far removed from impersonal large hotels. However, some rooms can feel overly 'grandma-like'; a funkier decor would be welcome.
Tony and Paul, the visionary owners of Snooze in Brighton, deliver exactly that. Forget the standard British B&B; Snooze offers a vibrant B&B extravaganza.
From the moment you step inside, an irresistible funky vibe permeates the entire property. Original artwork in bold colors adorns the walls—even street art—with a stunning centerpiece: a massive mural on the breakfast room ceiling. A eclectic mix of vintage furniture and accessories, sourced from Brighton's flea markets and antique shops, adds to the charm.
I was particularly enchanted by the collection of antique bottles in the breakfast room.
Every room at Snooze is uniquely themed, often inspired by music. My bedside table was a repurposed drum, with walls lined in classic album covers.
I peeked into one of the suites—see for yourself:
Isn't it a fabulous spot for the night? It feels like a 1970s rockstar retreat!
Attention to detail shines everywhere, reflecting the owners' passion for music, art, and design. Exploring the nooks and crannies was delightful, evoking nostalgia for Brighton's mod and rocker eras.
Since taking over in 2006, Paul, Tony, and their spouses transformed a rundown property into this retro gem through years of renovations and memorabilia collection. More quirky additions are sure to come.
With just 6 rooms and 2 suites, Snooze feels intimate and cozy. Bond with fellow guests over a traditional full English breakfast—eggs, beans, toast, plus yogurt, muesli, porridge, fresh fruit, and jams.
Snooze's vintage flair perfectly suits eclectic Brighton, nestled in quirky Kemptown amid vibrant eateries and bars for an authentic 'quirky Brighton' vibe.
The owners enhance your stay with a detailed folder of restaurant and pub recommendations in every room.
Snooze stands out as the trendiest, youngest-feeling B&B I've experienced—truly one-of-a-kind.
For an extraordinary B&B stay, Snooze is unbeatable!
