Needs updating
The location was very good.
The parking wasn't good, not enough spaces for the hotel. The breakfast was ok but could have had more than one choice of scrabbled eggs.
Dinner again was ok in the main dining room but not a lot of choice or quantity of food for each course. We wished we had gone in the bar for dinner instead as there was a better choice on the menu.
The room was ok but needed more towels and pillows. The bathroom was very hot as the window didn't open and the shower door was in the wrong place, right in front of the toilet making it difficult to get in and out.
The hair dryer over heated while I was drying my hair. The dryer was very very old. Needed to be updated.
I think some parts of the hotel need updating.
The bar areas were very good.

Great view, good value.
Noise from seafront (not something hotel can control). Paintwork, carpets etc a bit shabby. Needs investment.

The food was good and a very reasonable price.
The bed was fine and we had a good fan to keep the room comfortable. The main parts of the hotel were clean and reasonably good. Unfortunately the fascade and the windows in particular were in a very bad state. The window frames were badly rotted, paint in a very poor state and mouldy . We had 3 windows in our room. , one unable to be opened and the other two could only be opened approximate 3 inches.
And one of these was in danger of falling apart.

I would definitely come back to this hotel — of course, if the price is still attractive. For those who have never been
Review of my 3-night stay in Eastbourne
First of all, all the hotels by the seaside in Eastbourne are very old and definitely in need of renovation. This affects the overall quality, and the prices are generally inflated just because of the location. It’s worth checking the prices carefully before your trip, because they can jump very high. We were lucky to book a room at this hotel just 2 days before arrival at an attractive price — we paid £220 for 3 nights, which is acceptable. Fun fact: when I checked availability on Saturday for just one night (Saturday–Sunday), only three very poor hotels were left, and the prices were around £350 per night — so you really need to plan and book early.
As for this hotel: the location is great, not far from the pier and the main street with shops and restaurants. However, our room was facing that street, so if you like to sleep in late, be aware that the street noise might disturb you. The ladies at the reception could have been a bit more welcoming — some of them seemed like they didn’t really want to be there.
The hotel seems very popular with elderly guests, which for us was actually a plus because we value peace and quiet. In another hotel in the past, we ended up with big international groups of young people, and they completely ruined the stay with loud conversations, running through the corridors, and playing music — fortunately, nothing like that happened here.
Summary:
I would definitely come back to this hotel — of course, if the price is still attractive. For those who have never been to Eastbourne, keep in mind that the standard of all hotels here is not quite like what you might expect in other countries, so don’t be surprised. But yes — I would return to this hotel.
