The Grand Hotel Eastbourne
Latest Reviews
Haven’t stayed here for a few years but the opulence and friendliness of the staff hasn’t changed. Great dinner last night and the ‘sea view’ from the room we were in (408) had lovely views both east and south, so sunrise from the bed!

Our first trip to The Grand for our Wedding Anniversary. I didn't even wait to finish our break to write this. From the minute you pull up at the door you are greeted by luxury, old fashioned customer service and a fabulous hotel. My favourite new place. The staff are all pleasant,friendly and helpful. Cocktails amazing. Breakfast outstanding . So much much better than buffet style. Afternoon Tea later today.

This Hotel is second to none. Always perfect with service and facilities. You get what you pay for and although more expensive that others in this location it is very well spent money. Location is ideal, you can walk into the town and also to Devonshire Park and the Theatres close by.

Excellent stay made perfect by the quality of service delivered by all the staff from reception, restaurant and healthclub. Great food in The Garden restaurant from a varied menu and the breakfast was absolutely superb. Thank you.

A fabulous, traditional, classic English hospitality experience executed with panache from attentive and focused staff. Food quality was superb from the Mirabelle Restaurant and equally impressive from the house restaurant. Afternoon Tea was also memorable.

Not sure if I would go back to Eastbourne as the area seemed to be very much catered for the elderly, but the hotel in itself was excellent. Service and food were exquisite and the spa facilities were well equipped and very clean.

Hotel is beautiful, staff very friendly. Breakfast was perfect. Rooms slightly outdated as they needed modern features such as a fridge and A/C in the room. Sauna and steam room was closed which was a shame.

This was my 3rd visit. This hotel has an old world charm but that is what makes it a unique experience.I always feel that it has been a real treat.
Great Service. Do not expect a bland modern room as suite slightly shabby but lovely. Do go!

Lovely stay. Great room on third floor with sea view. Great choice at breakfast, sometimes too much. Covid safe throughout the hotel. Friendly and polite staff . Returning again soon. Highly recommended

We always enjoy visiting the Grand Hotel with its friendly atmosphere, classic style and sea views. One small criticism on this occasion is that the bed was a standard double rather than "king size" to which we are accustomed.

The bed was too soft, the deluxe room tired, the restrictions about swimming in the outdoor pool were ridiculous and the menu if you are on a dinner bed and breakfast package you are not clear about the hidden costs of ordering something on the menu that is not included in your package. We spent £600 on a so called deluxe room and dinner bed and breakfast. The best experience was the Spa where I had a fantastic treatment but other than that I could not recommend it for a luxury night away.

We never tire of visiting The Grand. We are probably rather less affluent than the average guest, and the cost is far from inconsequential to us, but we never resent a penny of it. It never ceases to amaze us how many of the staff seem to remember us and welcome us back. Service is relentlessly perfect, the rooms we have stayed in are huge and luxurious, the restaurants are magnificent and the interior public spaces are immensely impressive. We look forward to our next visit from the moment we drive away.

The service is impeccable, the food is excellent and the hotel is luxurious.
It is well worth getting a sea view room.
In the Mirabelle Restaurant there is a seven course taster menu with accompanying wines, which is delicious.

Stayed on Saturday 26/06/2021 and ordered Linguine Burrata with black truffle... It was devoid of truffle!!! Not one delicious woody shaving could I detect. I mentioned it to the waiter who was very nice and asked the chef... ‘Seasonal’ that was the answer!!! I didn’t realise that when the menu advertises a Linguine Burrata with black truffle, the second most expensive main on the menu it really means Linguine, depending on whether they can get truffle or not 😁... Live and learn... The chefs answer did make me smile though, Basil Fawltyish!!! I will endeavour to bring my very own truffle sniffing piglet next time I stay just to be sure... Go find them Pepper... 😉

The hotel uses the word deluxe to describe its basic rooms. If that is their definition of deluxe I can't think what standard would be. This is indeed a grand hotel with great public spaces, but some rooms need TLC. Peeling outside paint on a window that rattled through the night, small rooms - I couldn't use the desk as the chair wouldn't fit between it and the bed - and bathrooms that could do with a lick of paint.

A beautiful building in a beautiful surrounding. Whilst the hotel has excellent facilities, the real star of the show here are the staff. Everyone is incredibly helpful.
The breakfast was excellent and the room was generous. Leisure facilities were also excellent. My bed was a little soft but that could just be a personal preference.

What an imposing and impressive facade the Grand presents to the seafront at Eastbourne and it lives up to those lofty expectations. The inside is immaculately presented and the dining rooms and bars leave you feeling like you're a character in an episode of Poirot! the staff are helpful and friendly to a fault and I found the food and drink also top quality. Yes, it's pricey but I felt I was getting Value for money throughout my stay.

Treating the wife for her birthday. Following Covid-19 precautions. Tables were sprayed and wiped down, soon as cleared. Grounds very tidy, front door staff very attentive and helpful, welcoming.
Inside, very clean, sparkling, it's late afternoon for tea but very clean, no crumbs or piles of dishes, staff very charming and polite, I like this hotel.
Tea impressive selection, Dargeeling very floral and citrus tang. Never had it before had to look up if I needed milk, you don't, second cup better for it.
Piano playing, taped but good atmosphere.
Food: Somebody knows their trade here.
Upon presentation, was explained in detail, very good Service, felt at ease.
Finger sandwiches, no crusts, cut exactly to size, same size.
Salmon, soft dark rye I think, very good smoked salmon.
Cucumber, bread was made with cucumber in it so slightly green.
Cheese and chutney, tomato bread, looked and tasted lovely, all fresh, springy bread. Zingy tangy.
Mini quiches, Good Grief! I can't make them like this. Thin crispy pastry, soft melt in the mouth egg, perfect. I wanted to buy a few to take home.
Scones, two fruit, two plain, served warm, fresh, light and bouncy not too sweet. Big serving of clotted cream, nice jam, butter all excellent.
Macaroon with strawberry jelly, the 'roon
is sweet but the jelly sharp. Home made pattiseri, fruit, flaky pastry yum multi layer sponge cakes.
Bit if an epic review!

Popped in for some drinks. Exceptional service, amazing location and not crazily expensive. Good covid control too

We had a two night stay, and as we now have a dog we had food delivered to our room. The staff were all welcoming and helpful. Everyone was sufficiently aware not to try sharing a lift.
We enjoyed two lovely evening meals. Our only criticism would be to request insulated cafetieres with our breakfast!
