We could not have been made more welcome from the minute we arrived. Staff always on hand to help if needed with a smile, extremely polite and friendly. Rooms very comfortable with a fabulous sea view. There is disabled access from outside as well as a lift to all floors. Parking is also available just a short walk away Would definitely recommend

I took 16 people to the hotel for Sunday lunch with background Jazz. The food was excellent and the staff were polite and courtesy. Nothing was too much trouble. Very relaxing and great value for money

We stayed at this hotel as a part of a Lodge Ladies night. The hotel is situated right on the seafront. You can drop off your cases right outside and then had parking at the barracks just a short walk away.
The food was excellent and the staff friendly and obliging.
The rooms were of a high standard with tea and coffee facilities in each room along with TV. There is a lift to all floors.
I would recommend this hotel for functions and short breaks.

We stayed at this Hotel for a few days on a coach trip. I have family in Eastbourne and two lots of them joined my partner and I for dinner on two separate evenings. The staff went out of their way to make them welcome, especially the children. This hotel is very clean, the food is excellent and the bedrooms are very quiet but the main thing which stood out is the staff and the owner who do their utmost to make your holiday special.

We booked for afternoon tea the hotel itself is lovely with regard the afternoon tea there was an abundance of lovely cakes and a beautiful homemade scone each however there was a lack of sandwiches between 2 people we had only 8 finger sandwiches really feel that less cakes and a few more sandwiches would greatly improve this afternoon tea. Staff were friendly but seemed a little disorganised. Overall not the best we have tried

Last minute unexpected business stayover saw me booked in here in preference over Premier Inn which was too expensive and was taken aback by the magnificence of the building ! Staff most welcoming and polite. Impeccably clean. Exceptional breakfast. Sea views amazing. Room was small but was booked as a single and at a very reasonable price. Window draughty and electric storage heater was of the vintage stinky type but got me dried out and nice to see somewhere with original windows, decor etc.Will definitely make the effort to stay here again. Class.

This was our 3rd visit to this hotel. It is conveniently situated on the front with lovely views and only a 15 min walk to the pier and shops. Once again the food was excellent and the staff amongst the friendliest I have come across. The front facing rooms are of better quality but having stayed in a rear facing one this time apart from being a little bit small was fine. Shower didn't have massive power but water was nice and hot, even at busy times i.e. 1st thing in the morning. Would definitely recommend this hotel

We are repeat guests and returned to the Hotel on the 19th November for our Ladies Weekend and were pleased to find that the good standards had been maintained. Excellent, clean and comfortable accommodation with polite, curtious staff who are willing to multi task and pamper to your every needs. A family proactive involvement who continually invest in maintaining the four stars this period hotel deserves
Well done Langham Hotel keep up the good work and looking forward to our next visit.

For my wife's Birthday decided to take up the "special" stay this Thursday for dinner bed & breakfast.
Over the years had some delicious lunches when with a large group-and assumed same quality/quantity would follow through in 2016.
Oh dear not so,
Forgot to realise that premises now such as this over-run by coach parties to fill it up on a regular basis-to break even.
Chose a back room as for 1 night not worth the. extra.It was very well appointed except that one had no possibility whatsoever to read anything in bed as lights pure decoration-such a pity being provided with low output.
Dinner was OK-but certainly not memorable-one was confronted with 2/3rds of the menu being subject to a surcharge.
Many people have said how they have enjoyed themselves-sadly we disagree .It was supposed to be a treat -such a shame we beg to differ.
Not for us sadly.
What really annoyed us was to turn up only 30 minutes after dinner commenced to have over cooked vegetables(and only a few) plonked on a plate-used to attend functions when bowls of plentiful freshly cooked vegetables were placed on the table to tuck into. Coach parties have clearly lowered the standards.NO excuse for a few soggy ones now .Does not cost much to revert back.
Shall stick to just having excellent coffees on the terrace-live quite locally..

We have visited the Langham Hotel a couple of times now and everything about it seems to just get better and better. They have refurbished some sea view rooms (that are named, rather than numbered) and they are absolutely stunning, definitely worth the extra cost if you enjoy pure luxury! The bar is lovely to sit and watch the world go by, the lunch menu is extensive, very enjoyable and very reasonably priced. The staff are very attentive and friendly, the owners stop to say hello and have a chat which is always a nice touch as I'm sure they are extremely busy. All in all, it is a great place to escape and relax, that's certainly what we did and I'm sure we will plan to again! :-)

Had another wonderful weekend, We love arriving and having a spot of lunch in the bar, tea and delicious shortbreads and flapjacks.
Had a beautiful dinner, the food is so lovely, such great value.
Had one of the newly refurbed rooms would recommend Cuckmere absolutely great room with full length windows, drinking tea in the morning and looking across the sea was just lovely.
Had a wonderful walk in Cuckmere Haven to the life guard cottages(where Luther was filmed) superb view of the seven sisters.
Can't wait for our next little break.

It's hard to fault this hotel. Great value, lovely rooms and fantastic food. I have been staying here for many years and each year it gets better from the reinvestment programme. This is a really well run hotel with helpful friendly staff.

Attentive, pleasant staff .
Nothing was to much trouble .
We were a mixed age and ability group that had many requirements !
The hotels manager made himself known to us at a very early stage and regularly engaged with us. Although he had many other guests and functions to deal with he was a credit to the hotel.

I booked this Hotel as I was working in the area and needed a convenient Hotel for one night and this one looked the best via its website. I found it to be near empty, it is November after all. The restaurant was busy in the evening with a function. I did ask if I could have a sea view after all I had booked a superior room, but was told this would be an additional charge? I suggested that given the Hotel had only 25% occupancy and it does not cost anything more to service a room but my request was turned down. I understand any upgrade is at the discretion of the Hotel but felt a bit put out! My original room was very cold at the back of the Hotel so they moved me to another which was equally as cold, also at the back of the Hotel between floors, however after turning up the electric heater it soon got warm. There was no heating in the bathroom except for the towel warmer which was obviously covered with towels. No towel rail beside the sink so nowhere to hang the towel other than at the other end of the bathroom on the heated rail. Bit of a faff! I didn't eat in the Hotel due to the noisy event in the restaurant. Generally it is a very good hotel and I would stay there again. Maybe not as central to the pier and shops as others in the town but for one night it was a worth the comfy bed.

The location is terrific. Right on the beach, the pier and pavilion close by. The rooms are nice and they are renovating and updating them one by one. If you can get a renovated room, grab it. The owner lives on the property and is simply wonderful. He is a life long hotelier with amazing stories (his dad lived there till he was 104). Food is good, the bar is nice. And, if you have a room with a sea view, life is almost perfect.

I like to congratulate chambermaid Angela, she went out of her way to help me, even beyond her job description I was staying in room 218 on Saturday night 29 October this lady was very kind to me and helped that evening even out of her own expense.

In general the hotel was very good, food is excellent,

I was at The Langham with my wife on a bowling tour early in September. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The standard of the room and all other places at the hotel were very high and the staff helpful.

I have stayed at the Langham a few times. I get about on crutches now and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. I found the car valet service very helpful as the carpark is quite away from the hotel and on road parking is at a premium. I had wanted a room with a sea view but was told there were none available. I was delighted to find one had been made available.
The hotel is always busy with various functions and yet you aren't bothered by excessive noise.

Stayed at the Langham Hotel for the weekend of 28/10/16---30/10/16 for a Masonic Ladies Festival, we all had a great time, the staff so helpful and polite and the food to die for, it was beautifully presented and a wine selection was found to be better than average, the rooms where excellent ( it was nice to get a single room with a sea view instead of being tucked round the back over looking a carpark ) all things considered the hotel is good value, we hope to be back soon

We had a very enjoyable two night break celebrating our friends’ son’s 18th birthday. Right from our arrival we were greeted by friendly helpful staff. We were a little early but our luggage was labelled, looked after and taken to our room when it was ready. Our room, Amberley, was superb with plenty of space despite having to accommodate both of us, our friend’s daughter and her wheelchair. The sea view was good and the décor & furnishings were lovely. There was a table & comfy chairs in the bay window & a sofa on one side of the room. We also liked the walk in shower. We all slept well on comfy beds.

There was a good choice on both the breakfast and lunch menus. The food was cooked and presented excellently. The celebrations had been organised well and the staff were attentive and efficient without being intrusive.

Throughout our stay nothing was too much trouble. Well done to Wendy, Neil and all their staff.

My wife bought me a signed copy of their book, Celebrity Hotel by Neil Kirby as told to Paul James. I’ve only had it a couple of days but am already a third of the way through as I am finding it very interesting and entertaining. It is certainly well worth a read.

Just got back from a fabulous weekend celebrating our son's 18th birthday party where a small family function was organised by the hotel, everything went so smoothly and the staff and owners where fantastic. The room we celebrated was perfect and the 3 course dinner was fantastic ( first class). Well done to the chef and the waiters/waitresses they where very attentive.

The bedroom had a sea view and was extremely comfortable and the breakfast had so much choice. Overall a fantastic stay and the memories will last forever. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting arrange a function or just to have a relaxing break.

We last visited this hotel about 10 years ago. The current owner had only recently taken it on. The place was in need of a little TLC.

It has certainly had that. Everything about the hotel has improved. During my original visit the decor and furniture were tired. The staff were also a little stretched. The owner having to help out in the kitchen at times.

All this has changed it is now a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

We were on a half board package.and found both the breakfasts and evening meals of very good quality. The service was also of the highest standard.

The owner although no longer helping out in the kitchen was in evidence throughout and even helped with the luggage.

We plan to return and it won't take another 10 years
