I was booked in here for 4 nights and besides having to pay extra for parking (£6 per night) it was still good value. The bar was bright and cheerful (very friendly staff). Although I didn't eat at the hotel the menu looked good, (I did order the packed lunch on my last day). If visiting Eastbourne again I would certainly check out the Burlington again.

Value for money!! Yes it's a bit rundown and the lifts are tiny but the staff are friendly. The sheets and towels lovely and clean. Good breakfast and it's right on the seafront. It also has a carpark round the back for £6 until 3pm the next day.

Room ok but misheard overnight parking instructions and got £100 fine for leaving 11am

Been here many times fantastic hotel centrally located across the road from the beach and the pier, great service great food great entertainment, very clean and tidy staff always so friendly, highly recommended.
We recently arrived and there was a coach booking in who were celebrating a Christmas trip that evening, our dinner was a Christmas dinner which was a great surprise with Christmas hats and crackers Christmas music and great entertainment, well done to the team excellent visit as always see you in January 2025 .

The building is a bit old, but the room is comfortable and the hotel is very well located.

Clean tidy hotel. Good food, excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Gradual improvements over the last few years. The main dining room is attractive as is the ballroom. Really enjoyed it except for the toilet paper. Horribly small, thin and not very absorbent!

Great location, very spacious and extremely good value. The lady in reception was friendly and very helpful. Overall a great experience.
The only issue was the WiFi wasn't working on my visit, the phone signal in my room wasn't really great. I would certainly stay here again. Highly recommended.

The building itself is lovely. Unfortunately, it does need a good lick of paint & the rooms need updating. Our bathroom was so outdated, the basin was a different colour to the bath & toilet, think is was there from when the hotel was built, as never seen a style like it, a bit artdeco ish.
The downstairs was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. Breakfast was good & the staff was so friendly and accommodating. It must have been an amazing hotel in its day. The location is excellent, just opposite the pier, & a short walk to the town centre, there is also a small carpark for £6 a day. It is also very pet friendly, so next time we will be bringing our two dogs. The good well out ways the negatives.

Couldn't ask for a better location in Eastbourne, limited car parking is available at £6.00 a night. This place really is a mixed bag, it's an old seafront hotel that whilst tired in a number of areas is clearly having huge amounts of money being spent on it through refurbishment.

In my room all of the furniture appeared brand new whilst in contrast the bathroom was something from the 70s. The mattress was rather soft but the sheets were good quality and seemed brand new. The view was as good as it gets, (in Eastbourne) and the room itself was well heated to the point where I had to open the window.

The corridors all seemed recently decorated but one or two of the stairwells haven't yet been redecorated. The lifts were something I can imagine appearing in a Harry Potter film but easier than the stairs.

The public areas were numerous and spacious with new furniture throughout, the viewing areas onto the seafront were a great place to sit with an evening beer or two. Some areas towards the rear of the hotel were tired.

The staff were smartly dressed and friendly and the drinks well priced, didn't try the food as had already made plans to eat elsewhere.

There was clearly refurb work going on although I didn't hear any noise from it I could see new carpets being taken in, what looked like windows being replaced at the back etc.

All of this said, the price I paid for the room was low and with that comes lower expectations but I left happy as although there's a lot of work needed to bring the hotel up to standard it's clearly well underway.

I shall be cheesed off though if I get the same copy/paste reply to my review from 'The Burlington Hotel Management Team' as several other reviewers have received recently. People are taking time out to pass on feedback, good and bad, the least they could do is put some effort into their replies...

Fantastic as always. Room with seaview, unfortunately the windows are so dirty you can't enjoy it.

Ok for a cheap get away , central to town , very old hotel , needs some updating, and must work on cleaning of rooms ,expecially the bathrooms not as clean as I would of hoped for, would I come back ,I don’t think so , pictures of rooms not ,what we got 😞

Our one night stay at the Burlington was very comfortable, I was sceptical given the low price paid for the twin room, but it was functional and had everything we needed.
The staff were friendly and efficient, the breakfast buffet very good.

I found this lovely ageing hotel to be everything that is great and worth the money 'every day of the week'!
It is a stately reminder of an era long gone in the hustle and bustle of todays' world. My wife and I found it to be comfortable, warm, friendly and relaxing, and we will certainly return there soon.

Can't fault this place, clean rooms, nice bar and breakfast, back in two weeks.

We just got back from a lovely mini break, the staff were great, friendly and helpful, really enjoyed the breakfast and was great value for money as a room add on, our bathroom wasn't well laid out and was tight in places but the room was lovely anyway, it is right by the pier so was close to everything, we will be back.

Excellent service. Booked in for one night. Small problem with the room which the front desk took care of immediately! Breakfast was a well stocked buffet and everything was hot and cooked well. Great variety of breads and pastries as well as cereals , fruit and porridge. Room was like others have commented ‘a bit tired’ but management has said they are renovating which in a hotel as large as this takes time. Slept well. Bed was comfortable and room had adequate heat and all the comforts of a budget hotel. Would come back again.

Very helpful staff x

Etwas altertümlich und teilweise renovierungsbedürftig. Nettes Personal und gutes Frühstück

Large hotel across the road from the Pier entrance. It still has much of its original grandeur but is a little tired. The rooms are much the same. That said, the hotel and staff were keen to keep standards as high as possible. There was always friendly service available and each night of my stay there was live entertainment in the bar. The Buffet Breakfast had a good variety of food and drinks and was fine. Parking is difficult but the hotel has its own relatively small car park at the rear at an extra charge.
I thought the Burlington was very good value for money and I enjoyed my stay. I would have no reservations in book again.

Stayed as part of a coach package.
Food good value with a reasonable choice in the
evening.Excellent breakfasts.Dining staff very helpful. Bath needed cleaning before use but room was fine.
It's value for money.
Good position by the pier.

Hotel in general needs work,doesn't look nice from outside

Best location in town. Superior rooms are lovely.

Hello everybody, My regards to you all.
To celebrate my wife's recent birthday we decided to treat ourselves to a short (very short in fact, just four nights away) holiday in Eastbourne which is a town that we both like and it's not so far away from where we live - In fact we went there by bus using our OAP free bus passes.
We stayed at the Burlington Hotel in Eastbourne which is located on the seafront directly opposite the pier and which is about a ten minute walk away from the town centre and the shops
Check in was efficent, and the lady receptionest on duty on the Sunday evening in September when we arrived was most pleasant and helpful in assisting us to find our bearings. Our room number 129 was situated on the first floor - Unfortunately the 'Booking' website wanted another £100 for a sea view room for the short duration of our stay which was rather a lot of money for such a short time, especially off-season so we had to make do with a cheaper rear view room which had only a rather uninspiring view of the exterior fire escape stairs - Had there been a fire we would most certainly had been the first people to escape. However the room was fine for the two of us, it was quiet and quite spacious having sufficient storage space also and a good wi-fi signal and a television set were available in our room too.
In the main we were quite satisfied with our room although we did find that the lighting was on the dim side making it rather difficult for us to read which I suspect is due to energy conservation measures owing to the terrible energy prices now being charged. Regarding the en-suite bathroom, it was warm and there was constant hot water - my only grizzle was as I discovered whilst sitting in the bath tub was that the soap dispenser was located far too high up the wall for me to be able to reach any soap to wash myself unless I had extraordinarily long arms which unfortunately I and most other people don't possess.

One of the two lifts in the hotel which has in excess of 100 rooms was out of order for the duration of our stay whilst the hotel was busy at the time with coach parties, but fortunately this caused us little bother.

A self service breakfast was served daily from 7.30am until 9.30am and this was superb in every respect - there was plenty of choices - and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals (both breakfasts & evening dinner) in the lovely hotel dining room. We treated ourselves to dinner in the hotel one evening which is served until 8pm. I'm told that the dinner menu for which we paid £20 each is changed daily, and on the day we dined there it was all done in 'threes' - There was a choice of three starters, followed by three choices of a main course followed by (yes! you've guessed it) three choices of a sweet course all of which was delicious and speedily served.

My price paid for our stay was reasonable for this day and age - Four nights bed with a jolly good breakfast in a nice room at the 'Burlington Hotel' located in the pleasant seaside town of Eastbourne on the seafront opposite the pier cost me £269.64 online with 'Booking.com' for my wife and myself which breaks down to £67.41 nightly...............Thank you for having us 'Burlington Hotel.'

Great little break away in a nice hotel right on the sea front. Lovey staff, good size clean room and nice food.
