The Hotel Asylum

By Alice Leighton

The Hotel Asylum by Alice Leighton is a heartfelt, raw and often darkly funny collection of true stories from a crumbling coastal hotel turned asylum accommodation in England. Set against a backdrop of seagulls, salt stained walls, and forgotten grandeur, this book offers a deeply human look at the lives of asylum seekers who find themselves caught between trauma, hope, and survival.
Through vivid storytelling, Alice Leighton captures the everyday chaos, strange incidents, and touching moments that unfold behind the hotel's fading doors - from residents cooking pigeons to seagulls stealing sandwiches, and from bitter fights to unexpected friendships. The Hotel Asylum is not just about hardship; it's about resilience, humour, dignity, and the powerful reminder that everyone, no matter where they come from, has a story worth hearing.
