The Grand Hotel Eastbourne
Latest Reviews
An amazing building at a great location. We ate lovely food in the Mirabelle and our room was spacious and comfy. It comes at a price of course - it’s easy for the bill to creep up with drinks in the bar, water for the table etc.
We thought there could be better tea/coffee making facilities In the rooms

A very comfortable room with good facilities, although the decor was a little tired and uninspiring. We liked the indoor and outside pools and the hot tub and the breakfast was very good although a buffet would have been even better. Service was good throughout.

Food & Rooms were lovely. Staff were polite & helpful. Felt there was too many children & dogs staying at the hotel which made it very noisy at times, while most children were very good a few were running around as if it was a playground & their parents didn't seem to worry they were distrubing other guests. A family play room would be ideal for the hotel as a suggestion. Some dogs were barking at times

Have been bringing my daughter to the grand at Eastbourne since she was 8, she is now 22, lovely memories and amazing staff. The Grand is a slice of English courtesy & decorum at its very best . Stunning hotel, love my first glimpse each visit.

Everything you would want for a romantic weekend away. Would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a spa in a lovely area with overall excellent service and some lovely local restaurants, I especially recommend Rostick and preordering the steak and lobster special.

The hotel was lovely the staff were very friendly and helpful but the evening meals were disappointing The Covid cleaning was excellent we would stay again but only on bed and breakfast Hotel is in a perfect position on the seafront

A very positive experience but for two major faults - the room that was advertised was a 28m2 while the room we actually got was a small corner room. During the breakfast service it seems like we have fallen through the cracks and were mostly ignored.

Was a bit disappointed with our visit to the hotel for afternoon tea. For what we paid there was a lot of confusion if my daughter had the right coffee with soya milk and given a Latte instead of coffee also who was given the correct tea. We waited 40 minutes before being served. The cake and sandwich display was a bit bleak for what we paid a head. It tasted very nice but felt quantities were reduced from visiting a previous time.
Had purchased a voucher and given a ref prior to visit yet we were still charged for the full party. It was rectified but we shouldn’t have been put in that position.
The hotel is lovely and relaxing the staff were friendly and helpful but seemed a quite disorganised. Shame as it will probably be relatives last trip out for a while being elderly.

The Grand (which must be especially commended for good arrangements during this pandemic) is beautifully positioned in Eastbourne, with very convenient parking. We wanted a sea view from our room, and very much enjoyed the quiet fourth floor overlooking the Ferris wheel on the sea front. We loved the cliff walks towards Beachy Head.

Fabulous place to stay quite charming .One disappointment was dinner in Garden Restaurant its the inclusive one(it felt like it) although we were not on that tariff overpriced for our experience & food. Mirrabelle on the otherhand was outstanding

Really lovely hotel and attentive staff when you ask. Had a great meal and afternoon tea to celebrate a birthday. Not up to what I expected for a five star as the service in terms of welcome and general orientation was lacking.

The hotel is lovely and staff are wonderful. They go out of their way to make the stay pleasant and safe. However, little things are being reduced in the name of Covid, which quite honestly shouldn't be the case - reduction in tea/coffee in the room, lack of bathroom items etc.

One of the best places to relax and be pampered. The decor is glorious, the staff courteous and nothing seems to be too much trouble. The building inside and outside is beautiful and in a perfect location.

A relaxing short stay. The protocols in place were efficient and we were comfortable using the pool. We enjoyed our meal at the Mirabelle restaurant immensely and had a very good nights sleep. All the staff were welcoming and knowledgable.

Had a 50th birthday here yesterday. The food was ok at best. Nothing mind blowing. The birthday girl was last to be served whilst everyone else had to get on and eat she sat and watched for a further 10 mins. The suite we stayed in was two single beds pushed together. No bar/fridge in the room. Cleaning staff came to our door no fewer then 3 times before 10 AM. Overall it was average at best.

We ate with guests at The Mirabelle and were extremely impressed - Michael Sutherland is a step up from the previous head chef - highly recommended - keep it up we will be back
The covid secure service was attentive, courteous professional and friendly as always, and the rooms were high quality and comfortable

As we were unable to travel abroad for our wedding anniversary, we decided to visit this 5* hotel in Eastbourne. We were not disappointed. The staff were brilliant, especially at breakfast. The room was spacious, clean and tidy. The swimming pool was a fantastic way to start and end the day.
My wife had a massage and could not praise Alice enough. She is a real asset to the hotel and such a lovely warm friendly girl.
Breakfast is a must at this hotel as the options were superb with quality to match. The staff are amazing, warm, friendly and polite and made us feel very welcome and special, especially for our anniversary breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.
I wish I had asked names so as to praise individuals, but hopefully you each know who we are referring to, including the maitre d lady who asked if we enjoyed our anniversary day, the next morning. Thank you for making our anniversary so special.

A very comfortable 5 night stay but somewhat disappointing dinner menu in restaurant which was not up to scratch for a 5* hotel. Enjoyed one or two good dishes, but many menu choices were repeated each evening and often lacked flavour.

This was the third time staying at the Grand and we had a wonderful time. Service was excellent as usual and the food was scrumptious. We had dinner and afternoon tea there as well as breakfast! The measures implemented re covid made me feel very safe, so much so we wanted to stay another night. My only criticism is the price for the second night was £510 which i believe was room only. It was for a suite mind you, so obviously more expensive than our original executive room, but we thought that was quite expensive with no discount or flexibility for a last minute booking or the fact we were existing guests. Shame and short sighted really as we would have happily stayed another night and had drinks and dinner there had the room been a bit cheaper. We found another hotel nearby and we stayed there instead. That said, we loved our stay and would stay again. Can't wait!

Excellent stay. Staff and food were perfect. Service 100% without fault. Room with sea view and Very Covid 19 secure. Breakfast in room a highlight, tasty well cooked and arrived on time Hot. The Grand lived up to its 5 star status.

Recent visit for my husband's birthday. The location is superb. The indoor and outdoor pools both open, (you had to book a time due to covid). The covid measures were all in place, and we felt very safe, but still able to enjoy ourselves. Plenty of staff about if you needed them. All in all a most enjoyable weekend away.
