Absolutely tip top place. Couldn't have got any closer to the pier. Prime spot. Lovely people behind reception. Hairdryer supplied, entertainment was good. Breakfast was superb. 👍

My first visit to Eastbourne and im hoping to return in a couple of years, especially back to this hotel. The suitcases were taken to the rooms, the three course evening meal was hot and tasty, a good choice of three. The bedroom was large, comfortable bed, warm room, with complimentary toiletries. All the staff were helpful and it was like talking to friends. Good entertainment with bingo every night, set within a comfortable bar and lounge. And lastly in close proximity to the pier and shops.

Location and service is great - lovely chaps work here and the place is next to the pier where you can find lots of good restaurants nearby.
The hotel itself leaves a lot to wish for. No free WiFi I'm the rooms.. in 21st century come on, seriously? There is WiFi in the lobby. The place is very dated and the room reminded me a lot about my cheap uni accommodation. Clearly there are people for this market but at 40 pounds a night, vompared to what 50 pounds a night gets you I
In the hotels nearby, that seems vastly overpriced.

The gentleman from the reception was very helpful, the room was nice clean and warm,
There are no bed bugs I've read an old comment might have been just someone trying to scare others off
A mini fridge inside the room would have been nice but I'd definitely stay again at this hotel

This Hotel is old and quite dated. Very much in need of complete refurbishment, saying that, the food was good, the service was excellent, and all staff very friendly. Its a 2 star hotel and I think that's a fair rating, plus it's right on the sea front, overlooking the pier.

Our first visit to Eastbourne it's a long way from the Midlands! We were on a coach trip and stayed over Christmas.
Our room was a decent size and the single radiator was on 24/7 so we were very warm,even though the windows are single glazed and it was incredibly windy. That being said,the larger main rooms on the ground floor were not very warm.
Staff were very pleasant and went out of their way to be helpful. There were decorations and numerous Christmas trees around.
The hotel was full so on the first night we were allocated a table. Our fellow diners were from a different area so off another coach. The first meal was quite bland, not a good start for a special break, however meals served after this were better so it wasnt a complete disaster.
Entertainment was from 8pm,first Bingo followed by a singer. It would have been good to have entertainment of some kind,such as a quiz,or similar in the daytime. Nothing to do between meals, we did walk out a bit, but it was so cold and windy that we couldn't stay outside for long. There wasn't sufficient comfortable seating to watch the TV in the lounge so we watched a few programmes in our room!! We'd have been much more comfortable at home. Only dining style chairs available in the bedroom.
My husband had wanted to go away to a hotel for Christmas for many years. Well,we've tried it and unless there's more than a short trip out on Christmas Eve to Hastings, we won't be doing it again.
Drinks were priced sensibly here,a bottle of wine was £18.99, lots more than at the supermarket but less than usual at a hotel. I understand that Beer was around £4 for a pint.
This hotel needs a bit of decorating and bringing up to date,no frills but they certainly tried hard. We had a little gift from Santa on Christmas Day, which was a nice touch. Also at lunchtime sandwiches and cake were provided.
At least I didn't have to shop or cook over Christmas but I did need more entertainment.

I stayed at this hotel for one night and overall it was quite good for the price. The room was decent—clean and comfortable enough for a short stay. It also had a nice sea view, which made the stay more enjoyable. It wasn’t anything luxurious, but it had everything I needed. Considering the cost, I think it offers good value. Would recommend it if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option.
