We could not have had a better experience in this volunteering, there were few hours of work, less than what appeared even in the app, we had many days off and followed which allowed you to travel and meet; the rooms were comfortable, where we shared with other volunteers, who were very pleasant, in general one felt at home, and above all we want to thank Suzie and the whole team infinitely for the opportunity, for the way they have received us this month, the flexibility and joy they transmitted to us, we had an incredible experience, and we valued all this very much.

I had such a great time volunteering at A&O Hotel ! Suzie was incredibly kind and welcoming, and even though the work could be intense at times, sharing it with other volunteers made it really enjoyable. I loved meeting so many new people among my flatmates. We had plenty of fun activities in and around Brighton, and even took a day trip to London, which was very cool.

The overall experience was okay, the hostel is super close to the beach and supermarkets, restaurants, and there’s always something to do or see in Brighton.

The staff was lovely but there were some moments that I felt a lack of care/respect in the way that one should speak with the volunteers, but this didn’t ruin my experience.

The shift is very hard, there’s always something to do, and it’s very tiring.

I want to thank Suzie for all the love and for being kind and caring not just towards me but to all the volunteers. It was lovely meeting you ❤️

The hostel's location is great, really really close to supermarkets and Brighton’s main attractions. Most of the staff were friendly, and it's a nice place to meet new people. Big thanks to Suzie, who was always caring and attentive. Breakfast was basic but good.
Just a heads-up: the 25 hours of volunteer work are pretty tiring, and there’s no washing machine for volunteers — you’ll need to pay to do laundry elsewhere. Also, while most staff were lovely, a few could be a bit unkind.
Overall, it was a good experience to get to know a new place, but I wouldn’t repeat it personally.

I had an amazing time during my stay at A&O. Suzie is absolutely brilliant kind and caring. Omar the deputy manager was super accomadting with my volunteering hours as i picked up a second job. It is exactly what you agree on when you go. I would say honestly house keeping is a little bit demanding physically but i had a blast and met some great people. Id definitely go back!
