Good old fashioned seaside hotel. Rooms are clean and well equipped. Good location right opposite the Eastbourne Pier and near to the town. Parking in Eastbourne can be difficult but the hotel gives a street parking voucher for £1.

Stayed for one Saturday night with my family when we were visiting friends who live in Eastbourne. Sharon the manager is probably the best manageress I've ever come across in all my travels. She gets five stars. However the hotel is very cheap and cheerful. No breakfast available unless you pre order in advance of your stay. The hotel is dog friendly. Our room smelt of B.O although it was a clean but small room. You get what you pay for. Circa £40/night to be bang opposite the pier. Can't really complain for that money.

My fourth year at this hotel, sorry won't be going back, gone down over the past year or two, food not as good as it was,how hard is it to do fresh veg, Not a very good room either,although it was clean it lacked the personal touches. Although It is in a very good location, opposite the pier, rooms on the front are very noisy until late. (But it was lovely to see Steven the waiter back)

This hotel is great VFM. Friendly staff where nothing is too much trouble. A bit dated but very clean and comfortable. Room was warm and clean. Tea and coffee plus hairdryer for my wife. Good hot water for the bath. Very close to pier and all bus stops. Appeared to be no car park but I was offered cheap on road parking pass which I did not need. Came on bus. Breakfast was excellent. Roomy and airy restaurant and plenty of food. Good bar area and free wifi in main lounge area. Would I stay here again ? In a shot !!!

First time to have a weekend in Eastbourne was pleasantly surprised to the standard of service and accommodation. Evening entertainment was Good. The only thing I didn't like was having to choose my evening meal at breakfast. Hotel itself was clean , bedroom comfortable, bathroom and bit small but ok. Would go again.

Went on a coach trip with Edwards Coaches.On arrival, the Manager Jason came on to the coach to greet us-a nice touch! Our room was at the front of the Hotel (312). Thought it might be noisy due to the traffic on the prominade. After about 9.30 in the evening became very quiet. Room was clean with Tea and Coffee plus hairdryer. Also good flat TV. Picture was first class.Our only gripe was the pressure of our Shower--almost non exsistant. Did tell the Manager, who suggested lowering the Shower Head. Made no difference. Put it down to the fact that we were on the Third floor. Food and Entertainment were really good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall we enjoyed our visit.

This hotel is in an excellent hotel set just back from the sea front and opposite Eastbourne pier. It is within easy walking distance of the town center and many restaurants. I have only ever stayed in a single room but this has always been clean with a comfortable bed. The overall decor of the rooms is dated, however at the price charged this is good value for money. A kettle and television is provided in the room and the windows open for fresh sea air. The staff are always friendly and the hotel bar serves real ale (Harveys of Lewes)

Very clean hotel. Good quality bed linen and towels. Very comfortable beds. Had room 116 which had a balcony which would have been lovely in the summer. Nice bar at good prices and friendly staff. Breakfast very basic and small portions but it was expected for the cheap price of the room. Very central hotel opposie the pier and near restaurants.

Mina at Ditzy Media is great; we had a scheduled 1:1 Zoom for our charity (Mediation Plus) and she patiently talked through key components of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn and answered our queries without making us feel like complete numpties!

Well run budget hotel and you get what you pay for. Beds comfy and room fine, bathroom dated and overheated! Could not control the thermostat. Breakfast not to my taste. Not cooked well enough. bacon was a bit underdone. Staff excellent. The only real downside was, and it was no reflection on the hotel, was the noise outside. We had a room that overlooked the pier and as it was the weekend suffered noisy groups leaving the pier at 3am. Sleep was impossible.
