The Grand Hotel Eastbourne
Latest Reviews
Had a lovely return stay at the hotel. As ever the staff really made our trip. Universally welcoming and warm.
We very much enjoyed the outdoor pool and swam every day. Its heated so even on a cold day it's a delight. The indoor leisure facilities are also good.
All the meals we had were great. In particular the Mirabell and having breakfast in our suite.
Lastly the rooms are variable but all charming. Decide what you value. We went for a bigger lounge and smaller balcony but with great views. Was perfect.
We will be back.

First class hotel, first class staff and first class food. What more? Well, room was good and had everything yuou would expect from a 5* hotel. Very comfortable and not over showy. Food was excellent. Finally the staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming.

While dogs are allowed in the bedroom, they are not allowed in any public areas including, bizarrely, the bar. This does not make it ‘dog friendly’ and had I known I would have stayed elsewhere.

We travel extensively with our small, immaculately behaved cocker spaniel and therefore always look for dog friendly hotels. On its website, The Grand accepts dogs in certain rooms ( excellent) but what it doesn’t say is that they are not allowed in any other areas at all. We never expect to take our dog into main restaurants, but to not even be able to have a drink in the bar? Come on The Grand - either change your policy or make it absolutely clear on your website that dogs are not allowed in any public areas. That aside, the hotel was comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Travelling without the dog, we would return.

Fantastic stay at the Grand, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely but as I have trouble with my hands I did find flushing the toilet quite difficult with the cistern they have.
The swimming pool and jacuzzi really good for my health but struggled with the tables in the beauty parlour
Over all a brilliant stay and will return...

The hotel was very tired. Our room which was side sea facing deluxe and fairly expensive was small, tired, no air conditioning, no mini bar and fairly basic. We were very disappointed. The cooked breakfast was average although it was small in size and had probably been kept hot for a while.

My Husband and I, together with my Son and Daughter-in-law had a night’s stay and had a fantastic time throughout our visit. The staff were all very welcoming. We had a superb meal in the Mirabelle Restaurant and the Pianist made my Birthday Celebration perfect! The room was very comfortable and we will certainly go back. The location is ideal .

We have stayed at many hotels in our time but I must say I will remember this one for the very friendly and helpful staff, the hotel and staff made us feel very relaxed and looked after, which as we were celebrating my husband retirement after 48 years it was just what we wanted.

The hotel made our weekend. It was my partners 50th so we decided on q couple of nights away local to us. Staff were great and room was lovely. Cocktails were quite pricey, although admittedly very good!...

We had a lovely time, the staff went over and above. We loved the spa but felt the cooked breakfast buffet could hav3 been better.

We visited the Grand this time as we wanted to return to the hotel for my birthday celebration. We were so impressed with our previous visit that we chose to visit for this celebration. We were not disappointed our visit was as lovely as we hoped it would be.

Fantastic location,room was lovely with a sea view. The bed was very small certainly not a King size bed. Lovely Molton Brown toiletries in the bathroom. Plenty of choice for breakfast. Drinks very expensive £15 for a Courvosier ! This was a treat from my parents as I would not normally pay this amount for one night. Staff very polite but certainly let down by price of drinks.

I stayed at the Grand Hotel Eastbourne for the weekend. When I arrived the staff recognized me and called me my name even though I had not been back since June.
All the staff that I met were all so helpful and friendly. When I say that I am of course including the staff that we do not see without whom the Hotel would not run so smoothly. Special mention should be made for the lovely Emily and Olivia. Message to management look after them they are good.
I had room 235 which was nice and spacious. The Hotels WiFi was good down on the ground floor, but I just could not get any signal in the room.
I will be going back down to the Grand Hotel Eastbourne again in a few weeks.

Charming surroundings with an older feel. Things are antique and it's like stepping back in time but with 21st century luxuries. It's all about the service, 5 star your whole stay which I've never experienced anywhere else.

The grand entrance and appearance of this beautiful hotel was very disappointing in our experience. Yes, everything was clean and the breakfast we ate was delicious but I thought we had booked a deluxe double room which had two single beds pushed together! It was also above the hotels delivery entrance so no need for a 6:30 a.m alarm. We may have been able to go back to sleep had it not been for the workmen on the building directly opposite our room starting at 8 a.m.
I realise this is not the hotels fault but I’m sure in this huge building and off peak season we could have had a more quiet room.

Excellent location, friendly and welcoming staff all round. The bed was very comfortable and there is a lovely touch with Molton Brown toiletries in the bathroom. Food is very well presented and the meal we had was delicious.

Eastbourne is the end of the South Downs Way and we chose this hotel to be a memorable end point -it did not disappoint -all the staff were unfailingly courteous (despite our walking boots and rucksacks) and swimming in the outdoor pool heated to a wonderful 30 degrees centigrade was real luxury for us after the 100 miles of the walk . Thoroughly recommended .

It was so great, elegant and relaxing. I wish I had booked a longer stay. The whole atmosphere was lovely and the grandeur of the dining areas. The blue restaurant was so beautiful. The cocktails at the bar and the spa was lovely. There were some rowdy female guests at the pool / spa area but that's not the hotel's fault unfortunately. I would love to stay again.

Great service and great food. Beautifully appointed, very clean with an excellent feel and atmosphere. Room was dark and noisy from the heating vents outside the window. Television was rather small for the size of room and there were not quite enough plugs in the room

We had yet another very enjoyable and excellent stay at the Grand Hotel in Eastbourne. There is nothing that can be faulted about this wonderful hotel. The service is excellent, the bedrooms are lovely and comfortable and the food is second to none. We can't wait to return again next year!
