Very quick, very friendly, very well cooked. It's also nice to still be able to have a fried slice and black pudding too when these have disappeared from the menu in other cafes. Popular place.

Little cafe on a corner, parking outside - but be careful, might be better to park down the side road as a car crashed into ours whilst we were in here :( It was a woman driver, in a driving school car taking her test.
We'd not had to wait long for our lunch - it closes at 2pm here, the food was well presented and very hot.
There is so much to chose from on the menu, not just breakfasts/brunches, lots of other meals too including salads. All reasonably priced.
I had a milky coffee which was perfect.
Our food had not long been brought to our table when a man came in and asked if anyone had parked outside with number plate xxxx - which was ours and he told us another car had just hit it.
We rushed outside and the staff here took our meals and put them in the oven to keep warm, how kind was that.
I came back in first as nothing more I could do whilst my husband obtained details from driving examiner involved (who didn't give her name or address?!), when he finally came back in, they even cooked him another egg as his first one had got too dried out in the oven, they were so wonderful and helpful here.
The food was lovely, just wish we could have relaxed a bit more whilst eating it!
I would highly recommend coming here to eat, just be careful where you park as the main road isn't the best place in our opinion now!

Remember ‘Open all hours’ with Ronnie Barker and the till that used to snap shut on his hand? Well, when you use the tiny lift in this place it’ll take you back to Arkwights till. It snaps shut if you’re not super fast at getting in or out of it. Tries to cut you in half it does 😏 There’s a bigger lift but that’s out of order, I suspect it has been for a while. We’ve been here five days now and housekeeping have been once, no towel change. To be fair the food isn’t bad. The wine is drinkable. The only lager is Carlsberg (I’d rather drink water tbh). Hotel is in a nice spot, just round the corner from a few nice restaurants.

Location ideal. Right opposte the Pier. Hotel was a bit tired. Biggest complaint ,from everyone, is lift only accommodates 2 people. One decent size suitcase and an adult only has enough space. Food typical of this type of hotel. Buffet morning with waiter at evening. Pick your evening meal from menu at breakfast. We were given an upgrade for our first 3 of 4 nights. Then we had to move for our last one. 2nd room was so small. Bathroom ok but again no space. Weirdly only one twin socket. Kettle and fan in it so nowhere else to charge fones. Kept plugging and unplugging. We had a drinks package which was very good. Bar staff nice and friendly.
Staff in dining room,especially Wayne and Ann, were very nice too. Helpful.
Would we come again. Doubt it. Climbing stairs to our rooms because of lift is off putting.

As the previous review indicated this hotel is in need of refurbishment but it is gradually getting done. I stayed for £99 for 3 nights half board as a single occupant of a double room. Yes the room could do with a paint job, but the room was clean and the bed comfortable. The food was more than adequate and the staff were always helpful and patient, plenty of other hotels could learn from this establishment. The public rooms are spacious and light and have good views out to see and the pier to your left. Close to shops, pier and sight seeing buses are about 3 minutes walk away. For what I paid, via Shearings using our own car - there is free parking to the rear, I doubt if it could be bettered.
If you do not want to accept a trade off because of the price then don't use this hotel. People who expect luxury pay the price and stay elsewhere, don't expect the Ritz at local or below B&B prices.

In January 2009, jkf62 said about The Burlington Hotel
booked on wed for 3 nights fri,sat and sun. did not realise that it was for shall we say the more mature person. the room was clean and spacious, fantasic view from room 308 over looking the sea front and pier, we paid extra for this and glad we did. shower in room did not work but we lived with that. restaurant was clean and food apertising and served by an enthustic young man, Moses who was charming and took everything in his stride.bar area was also clean but cold as on of revolving doors was missing and as it is no smoking was constanly left open by smokers going out for smoke. only gripe about bar was the fact that the hotel was not full yet there was not enough seating. although we are not teens or even early 20's or 30's we were the youngest couple there and throughly enjoyed are stay, the other guests were fantastic and friendly. we would certaintly return to the Burlington and will return to 'eastbourne as it is a ideal place well situated in a pleasant part of the uk, close to other resorts such as brighton which we visited on the local bus at a reasonable price. all in all the burlington may not be the ritz but it os not fawlty towers either. a great weekend was had and i would like to say thank you to all staff.

We booked a 4 Day weekend break from Yorkshire,and we had a really good weekend. The rooms do need refurbishing but are spotless,we had great heating and very hot water in our single rooms.
It would cost hundeds of thousands of pounds to renovate the whole hotel, and as we only paid £69.00 for the 4 day trip i can't see were they would find all the money.
A superb weekend, many thanks to our coach driver Chris and also Little Lily the best behaved child i have had the pleasure of meeting !!

One night stay
Close to the pier seafront and town centre
To be honest for a one night stay it was okay.
