Each flat contains 5-8 private individual bedrooms, along with a shared kitchen and living area as well as access to a 24-hour reception. We also have a limited number of adapted and accessible rooms available.
Each bedroom is equipped with a large single bed, desk, wardrobe and ensuite shower. Guests will enjoy free Wi-Fi, towels and toiletries. Complimentary tea and coffee will also be provided.
Prices for a one-night stay will start from £67.50 per room, with a 2-night minimum stay applying on Fridays and Saturdays.
Helen Power-Hosking, Head of Commercial Services, said:
“We are excited to launch our short stay offering on campus, opening our doors to visitors and the public, providing a unique opportunity for a comfortable stay and a chance to experience campus life firsthand.
“This innovative approach will ensure we continue to utilise our resources effectively, optimising the use of our existing infrastructure to diversify our income streams.
“A fantastic opportunity to showcase our beautiful campus – just a short stroll to the South Downs and minutes away from Brighton city and seafront – we are looking forward to welcoming guests this summer.”
