Great, fairly price accommodation
The staff were very friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble.
The breakfast was very tasty and the buffet option had great variety. To be honest it wasn't so much i didnt like it as i wasn't expecting red carpets and crystal chandlers but i felt it was a little bit neglected. Could do with a lick of paint to bring it back to life.

Comfortable bed & armchairs. Carpet not very clean & wood work tatty. We had a lovely seaview but the room was almost unbearably hot even with the supplied fan, maybe the bigger rooms are more airy. All staff very good & helpful with charging my husband's mobility scooter. Breakfast buffet plentiful wouldn't have minded a change from scrambled eggs though. Coffee was excellent.

Great position and added bonus of payable car park behind the hotel. Bar, restaurant and reception staff were excellent.
Cleaners not so good and rooms in need of a good deep clean. A Victorian hotel so quite quirky.
Breakfast adequate and reasonable prices at the bar.
Would be happy to return there.

Well located in Eastbourne.
The location is excellent.
Its a tired old hotel in need of major rejuvenation.

Our rooms are usually very good. This one we stayed in this time not as good. The carpet was dirty, small beds but ok. The bathroom a bit cramped. Apart from carpet room was mostly clean. As always the staff good and very nice breakfast.

Would easily stay here again
Massive room (superior twin) comfy and clean with great views of the sea and pier. Nice big shower, loved it.
Snug lift! Teeny tiny! But other than that, I can’t fault it.

Love Eastbourne, will come again.
The location of the hotel is superb. We’d bought the superior sea view room which had a magnificent view of the promenade and the sea. The food was good and plentiful, breakfast excellent. Rooms serviced daily if required.
This hotel is very old so if you can see past the quaint old fashioned style and features , then you’ll love it. Having a room at the front of the hotel and the weather being very hot at the time, the road noise was very noticeable.

Great location, lovely staff, comfortable bed and armchairs, fantastic view.
The first room we were allocated smelled damp (no good for an asthmatic) but the receptionist very efficiently swapped us to another which was perfect. The only issue was the loud party going on outside late each night by the pier, which was nothing to do with the hotel but annoying nonetheless.

Excellent
No problems with the self service breakfast arrangement, much better than having the waitress service here a few years ago.
Location is ideal for the Promenade and accessing the South Downs. The bottom of the Room doors are not fire sealed, to prevent smoke entry, all the rest of the building appears to comply with current fire safety regulations.
They do need to inform guests on the date and time they undertake the weekly fire alarm test, as no warning was given.

I would definitely come back to this hotel — of course, if the price is still attractive. For those who have never been
Review of my 3-night stay in Eastbourne
First of all, all the hotels by the seaside in Eastbourne are very old and definitely in need of renovation. This affects the overall quality, and the prices are generally inflated just because of the location. It’s worth checking the prices carefully before your trip, because they can jump very high. We were lucky to book a room at this hotel just 2 days before arrival at an attractive price — we paid £220 for 3 nights, which is acceptable. Fun fact: when I checked availability on Saturday for just one night (Saturday–Sunday), only three very poor hotels were left, and the prices were around £350 per night — so you really need to plan and book early.
As for this hotel: the location is great, not far from the pier and the main street with shops and restaurants. However, our room was facing that street, so if you like to sleep in late, be aware that the street noise might disturb you. The ladies at the reception could have been a bit more welcoming — some of them seemed like they didn’t really want to be there.
The hotel seems very popular with elderly guests, which for us was actually a plus because we value peace and quiet. In another hotel in the past, we ended up with big international groups of young people, and they completely ruined the stay with loud conversations, running through the corridors, and playing music — fortunately, nothing like that happened here.
Summary:
I would definitely come back to this hotel — of course, if the price is still attractive. For those who have never been to Eastbourne, keep in mind that the standard of all hotels here is not quite like what you might expect in other countries, so don’t be surprised. But yes — I would return to this hotel.

The only thing I did not like was that they did not have any full cream milk, it was all semi-skimmed.
Location was great, almost right opposite the pier.
This was my 3rd/4th visit, so that is surely a good recommendation.

Excellent hotel, good location, friendly staff. Some parts a little tired, but no different to many of the hotels along the front. They are all large Victorian buildings. It was everything we expected and we weren’t disappointed. It would have been nice if reception could have alerted us before we arrived that there are extensive roadworks going on in front and to the side of the hotel. This meant that we had difficulty locating the car park which is to the rear of the hotel. The only access was down a one way street driving in the wrong direction! Ok if you know the other end is blocked, but this was our first time.

Staff were friendly and welcoming
I was only there for 1 night and booked a single room which in today’s market even if you are single you do tend get a larger bed. The room was dated. The lifts worked efficiently but one was tiny and didn’t look particularly clean. You may want to consider telling the night staff that they should know the names and telephone numbers of local taxi services at the very least or install a phone which is purely for taxis
I have friends moving to Eastbourne and will be returning frequently and would like to think some of my comments will be taken on board

I negotiated an upgrade before arrival but was not given it and told it wasn't available.

Ok for the price compared to other hotels in Eastbourne
Good location and helpful staff
My bathroom needed a good clean and the furniture in the room was in a poor state.
Source: booking.com
The food was good and a very reasonable price.
The bed was fine and we had a good fan to keep the room comfortable. The main parts of the hotel were clean and reasonably good. Unfortunately the fascade and the windows in particular were in a very bad state. The window frames were badly rotted, paint in a very poor state and mouldy . We had 3 windows in our room. , one unable to be opened and the other two could only be opened approximate 3 inches.
And one of these was in danger of falling apart.

Great view, good value.
Noise from seafront (not something hotel can control). Paintwork, carpets etc a bit shabby. Needs investment.

Relaxing and good amenities nearby
Close to the beach and local town centre
Little bit dated
