We went for a 5 day trip this hotel with Shearings in August. On arrival we were allocated room 427 on the 4th floor - what a disappointment. No way was this a room for a couple to a 3 star standard. I would have rather slept in the reception area than used this room. Dirty carpet, dirty walls, wallpaper peeling off, dirty bathroom, no wardrobe or storage space, broken bed - I went to reception and was given another room on the 3rd floor which was not perfect, but a lot better than 427.
This room is suitable maybe for storage, but should not be given to guests in its current state.
Shearings should either stop allocating this room altogether or spent a lot of time and money on it - even then it would be only suitable for a single person, not a couple.
Otherwise things were okay - food nice, bar prices reasonable, nice staff etc but avoid room 427 at all costs!

We have stayed extensively with Shearings at various locations including this one on several previous occasions with varying degrees of satisfaction and (with one or two unfortunate exceptions at other locations) have generally got what we've paid for; and really if you want the 4 or 5 star trappings ... then go somewhere else and pay the proper money. We had a 3 night Turkey & Tinsel break 13th Nov. and could not fault this break in any way, it was exactly what we were looking and hoping for and were not disappointed; hotel was tastefully decorated, food was good; well cooked, well prepared and plentiful, staff were pleasant and helpful at all levels, room was clean (and kept clean) and the entertainment package was superb. We particularly enjoyed Mr. Peter Scott-Powel on Saturday, a polished and truly professional performer punching way below his weight in this setting. Entertainment host Alistair did a splendid job and did his very best to accomodate all tastes, particularly enjoyed the little tea-dance on Saturday afternoon, (foul weather outside) what a perfect touch. Fellow guests were pleasant, friendly and all out to enjoy themselves. Well done Shearings, hope you can do it again next year.

Hotel situated on seafront,close to all amenities, hotel bedroom very draughty,and shabby, no central heating, radiator valves missing to turn heating on. Hotel supplied very small heater which was inadequate for size of room, however good points of visit, the food was excellent, service was very good. Entertainment :, Debbie Lee-James who was excellent , also a male comedian, and a male vocalist made for a good weekend, (shame only very few guests acutally got up to dance). Driver Noel /National hols was superb, driving in extreme adverse weather conditions got us safely to Eastbourne and home again.Come on Burlington update your hotel, !!! I would visit hotel again but would ask for a better room.It did have porterage facility but only if you were a Shearings client- as we were National clients we didnt 'qualify' for this service!!!!!!! and we were told so.

Travelled to this Hotel in January, food is first class ,entertainment is great Mark is a star and sure to get everybody going.Hotel is very clean and our room 310 sea view very spacious and clean. Although the wind can whistle through the windows the curtains are heavy enough to stop it penetrating the room. The room held the heat and we NEVER had the radiator on overnight. Would recomend this hotel

Just got back from a brilliant weekend at the Birlington. Our room 407 was very impressive and had an excellent view of the pier and sea front. It was clean, warm and very spacious with a newly fitted bathroom. The food was very good, as was the service. We enjoyed the caberet entertainment and of course the all inclusive bar and gala dinner. It was excellent value for money, I dont know how they do it. We will definately go again, there were four in our party and we all equally enjoyed ourselves. If you are going to be picky, the hotel was in need of a bit of a face lift in some parts, but for me it added to the charm and character of the 160 year old beautiful building. Free parking was also an added bonus. I would recommend this hotel and location to my family and friends.

stayed for 4 nights with Shearings, room lovely paid extra for sea view, newish bathoom, food very good, quite a good choice, well cooked and served, lounge where the entertainment was on was rather cold though, but the hotel generally was warm. Would definitely recommend the Burlington and would stay again.

Although in a good location next to pier and shopping , hotel in bad need of refurbishment. If you are booking a stay make sure your room is not behind the lifts or you will get "1st floor doors opening, 2nd floor doors opening" etc most of the night which can be clearly heard when you are trying to sleep. Staff excellent - evening meal average but breakfast good. Mark the entertainments manager was a diamond as was the bar staff.

Thoroughly enjoyed your stay in the Burlington Hotel. The entrance rooms are comfortable, clean and updated (also very warm). The bedroom we were in on the 3rd floor was comfortable and clean, if a little tired looking. Food and service excellent. Well done the Burlington catering for so many guests.

We have stayed 4 times, the rooms vary a lot, this time we paid extra for an upgraded room and it was worth it,. The location really makes this a great place to stay, if you sleep with the window open you can hear the sea lapping on the beach, We both suffer with bad backs and the beds have always been very comfortable. Meals are a bit rushed the poor staff have to practically run about but the food is good with plenty of choice. There are plenty of nice hotels in Eastbourne, but the Burlington is very good value. don't forget to add the cost of parking to your stay, be careful if you park in the car park because you may get boxed in by inconsiderate drivers.

We stayed at this hotel at Easter. As we have travelled with Shearings previously we were aware to book an upgraded bedroom, which was worth the extra charge. The room we were allocated was lovely, spacious, brand new fittings and furnishings and the bathroom was very good, with bath and shower and plenty of room to move about. The food and entertainment were also very good. I would stay at this hotel again but only in an upgraded bedroom.
