We had a great 1-night stay in March 2025. The service from the staff was impeccable and we were made to feel very welcome. The room was clean and tidy, and functional with a very large bathroom. The included amenities (indoor pool, steam room, jacuzzi) and complimentary breakfast was outstanding. We would definitely stay again.

Came here for a weekend getaway with my husband and a few friends. We paid extra upon arrival for a room upgrade.
Pros: the valet was amazing, friendly and helpful. The hotel has a convenient location with sea views and proximity to the seven sisters walk. Overall positive experience
Cons: it’s just not a 5 star hotel, while it is certainly grand, it was more of a 3 star experience from general upkeep and offerings. The breakfast was not very good and the amenities are outdated.

Regretfully, for the rating of the hotel and the price, the quality overall was disappointing.
Breakfast cooked was not hot. Wait time between courses on one night was lengthy. Needed more staff to cope better.

The hotel decoration was beautiful and very clean. The room was perfect and when we had an issue the staff were very efficient and moved us to a new room. The hotel was very quiet except for a bit of noise during one day when scaffolding was being erected outside the new room we were in, this was due to repairs taking place so couldn’t be helped. We had a superb breakfast each morning with lots of choice.

Beautiful classic hotel that is grand in all aspects not just name. Aside from the opulent surroundings, the service was excellent - responsive and helpful staff. The breakfast (the only meal I had at the hotel) was absolutely outstanding. Super comfortable bed and room also - two nights of great sleep even though I don't normally sleep well away from home. Will be back with the whole family!

We used the spa facilities. Very dated and in a neglected state, such a shame, Needs serious investment as it’s been left in the 80’s.
The Mirabelle restaurant however certainly made up for the disappointment with the spa. The food speaks for itself. The service was as should be in the restaurant. I cannot recommend it enough and we will be back.

Amazing hotel and grounds. Plenty of parking out of season so no need to pay to pre book. We stayed in a superior room which looked newly renovated. The bed was comfy and everything was high quality. Breakfast in the morning was also very nice and good quality, and all ordered and served with table service. There was also a self serve continental buffet. Staff all friendly and helpful, making it a pleasurable experience overall.

This is my favourite hotel full stop! It’s always a complete delight staying here. Fantastic hotel, beautiful rooms with extremely comfortable bed, superb service and wonderful, attentive staff all set in a remarkably beautiful building by the sea. It’s completely unique and never lets its standards drop. Highly recommended!

Lovely hotel, if you can afford those sort of prices and like a period hotel then I would recommend going for a nice break in Eastbourne.
