We (my wife and I). We wanted a weekend away to bring in the new year that fell upon the burlington at Eastbourne (they were offering a party ). We arrived the 2nd of. January 2015} Friday night .our room was on the first floor (where I believe most of the others were as party was approx 80 of us) hotel is an old Victorian one but bought up to date where necessary-our room was right on the left side as you look from the front so we had great views of the grand parade with the pier almost opposite rooms simple decorated and simple furniture. But again great stuiation. So when it came to the bathroom or use of we did not complain because it was like stepping into a freezer lol. As the radiator was non existent so no baths then lol.(we did wash though hah) the food was plentiful and good quality no complaints here . now we come to what was on offer in the price
meant a trip out to two places (however the weather was sh--.) Sorry . the nights were good because Mark Snow (who this review is named after) was a great compare who made sure each one of us enjoyed what he had on offer -quiz-dancing-bingo-acts singing (by him) comedy great three days when we needed cheering up. To start 2015 well done Burlington and special thanks to mark snow whoo's mom and dad are pleased he is who he is (THIS MY IN JOKE MArk OK on this'd)

Lovely hotel in a great position on the prom. Nice large clean room well appointed. Tea coffee making facilities hairdryer etc. worth paying for the sea view. Only negative point the TV was ancient and only had 4 channels none of them very clear, needs replacing. Food also good but sometimes cold. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Bus stop virtually outside the hotel but shops just around the corner. Good hotel great value.

This is our second time at the Burlington hotel Eastbourne and what a surprise when we arrived on our short weekend break with Shearings coach holidays.we was upgraded to a large sea view room 315 on the third floor which is easily reached by one of the two lifts.
The room was a bit tired but to complain about the beds were very comfortable and the room was nice and warm day and night.
The food at the hotel is as always very good and a wide selection for all different tastes the hotel does now offer meal extras at a small charge .
Entertainment is very good on all nights.
All the staff are very helpful and friendly and professional in their jobs and will go out of their way to sort out any problems if you manage to find any .
The trip out to Lewes was a nice experience but if you have health issues on climbing steep inclines Lewes could be a problem for you.
After Lewes we made our way to alfriston village its a very English style village.we would recommend the Burlington hotel to all .
Ps we had a lovely coach driver called sue and we all felt very safe.

As both nervous travellers, i was so worried about the accommodation in particular. But this hotel exceeded all expectations. We had a twin room with a sea view. It was warm with very comfortable beds and low to the ground as requested. The food was excellent. I have severe food allergies and the menu for me had to be adapted quite a lot. This did not present any problems and the chef was superb. I could have anything i wanted with no qualms. One of the waitresses - Mariann was the best i have met in a very long time. Even though she was rushed off her feet she always managed to keep smiling. Although we did not manage to see the entertainment, the programme was good and varied. My husband has Alzheimers and as such needed to be seated in the restaurant by a window with the sea in sight - to keep him calm in a very crowded dining room. No problem, our allocated table was moved within minutes of arrival and again this did not present any problems. All staff were very polite, helpful and patient. We loved this hotel so much that the day we came home, we rang the hotel back and have booked again for 2016 - thanks Carla. Also thanks to Peter our driver - so very funny and again patient and very helpful.

I was a little apprehensive about the bedroom as we chose to book a standard room but we were pleasantly surprised. The room was very comfortable and spacious, the beds were comfortable too. The service in the restaurant was very efficient and the food was tasty. I would recommend this hotel.

My husband and I with family and friends (party of eight) spent four days and three nights at the Burlington Hotel over the New Year, and what a good time was had by all!
This hotel matched all our needs, superb location, being right on the seafront and very close to all the shops etc, the rooms were perfectly adequate for what we paid. Couldn't fault the food and the staff were brilliant,.
The only complaint I would have is because the hotel was full there was not enough room for everyone to watch the entertainment, so we stayed in the little cafe bar and made our own, but considering we had paid for entertainment this was really not good enough.
This is the third Shearings Festive New Year Break we have all done and find this is the same regarding the entertainment in all of the hotels we have stayed, but it has not put us off going again.
We had a lovely walk along the prom on News Years day and spent an hour listening to a rock band playing in the Bandstand, it was great watching people dressed to the hilt to keep out the cold, having a dance, young and old alike, brilliant.
If anyone is thinking of doing this trip, I would highly recommend this hotel and Eastbourne itself.

4 days surprise break for my wife, on her birthday, and my daughter.
On Tuesday afternoon Shearings told us that our allocated room was not available and we had been allocated a twin room and a single room and not a family room. My daughter cannot be left alone at night resulting in my wife and I not sharing the same bed for the first time in 43 years.
The hotel itself was very good and all the staff very friendly. Both rooms were clean and tidy although the twin did have an old fashion TV. The bath with shower would be difficult to use because of the high sides if you had mobility problems
The dining room was light and airy with plenty of space in between tables ( not always the same case in some hotels where you are packed in like sardines.
The food in general was good, sometimes not as hot as it should be, may be because the plates were cold. Soups/dishes always hot and very good.
Entertainment was standard fair but having seen Bobby Bennet's act before, including same jokes and routine was a let down.
Mark on the other hand was very good, certainly different to anyone we have seen.
Overall a nice break for the monies payed

Stayed three nights / four days on a "Party Weekend" break.
Have to say that we had a very nice break and the BASIC price was excellent value for money. Good food, plenty of it and also well presented...plus, Dan, our waiter in the restaurant, was just great. Very good evening entertainment too. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
On the negative side.....we stayed in room 112 on the first floor, for which we had to pay an extra charge, as it was supposed to be an "upgrade". In fact, this room has no heating at all in the bathroom ! It also had a VERY poor radiator in the main bedroom, which gave out very little heat, so the room was always very chilly ! The bathroom heater apparently hasn't been working for some time and is not scheduled to be fixed until the summer months, when it's due to be drained and serviced ! Not sure when the main bedroom heater will be fixed, but with the current cold weather, it was extremely cold in there ! After a couple of days, we ultimately had to ask for a heater to be brought up to the room.
WHY was we charged for an upgrade, when it was known that the heating in room 112 wasn't working ?????

I stayed at the Burlington for four nights with Shearings Holidays. My room was lovely, nice big, comfy bed and sea views from the side windows. Lots of hot water in the bathroom. The food was OK-- and sometimes the waiters were rushed, so the service could be erratic.
It was a short walk to the beach and the town shops.
The big let down was the lifts. They had two very small lifts to serve the customers and the staff and one of them was constantly breaking down. My room was on the 4th floor and I have mobility problems, so walking up was not an option. Please get new lifts installed or get a service lift for staff.
