Brighton has a great bus network that makes it easy to access all parts of the city, with easy route planning, up to the minute bus arrival information on most bus stops and by smartphone, plus a choice of ways to pay including a very simple tap on tap off ticket using any contactless debit/credit card, which guarantees you'll pay the cheapest price per day.
Tickets - £2.70 for a single journey or £4.70 for a 24hr ticket - simply Tap On & Tap Off with any contactless debit/credit card - you'll pay the same as buying a paper ticket on the bus and the total you pay each day will automatically be capped to the price of a 24hr day ticket if this is less than the total cost of the single fares. You can also pay the driver for a single fare using a contactless card or cash.
Times - from 7am until 11pm buses run frequently (approx. every 10 mins on key routes).
Night Bus - During the night from midnight until 5am, bus N7 runs once per hour from the City Centre back to Park Street (for the hotel) passing through the city centre around half past each hour.
Local Stops for RBB - To go into the City Centre / Station / Hove, walk up to the Park Street Stop on Edward Street (3-4 mins walk) to catch the bus Number 1, 2 or 7. Check next buses due from Park Street >>
For the i360 and Brighton Centre, unfortunately there are no direct buses, so you're advised to catch bus 1 or 2 and get off at North Street, which is the closest stop and walk, or just walk directly from the hotel.
Returning to the hotel from City Centre / Station / Hove, you can get off at Park Street, or some buses (Routes 1 and 2) run even nearer to us on the way back and you can get off a stop or two before, on St James's St or Rock Gardens and the hotel is 2 mins walk.
