Went on Shearings coach holiday. The hotel has had some TLC due to the fire in the hotel next door, located on the sea front and a 15 minute walk to the main shopping area in Eastbourne, due to road closure in front of the hotel you need about to walk 15 minutes to get to a bus stop. As a single traveller i had a reasonably sized room with a good size bathroom. All the staff i came in contact with were excellent and were very efficient, felt really looked after at meal times and at the bar. On the negative and this is my opinion was the entertainment seemed dated and stuck in the 70's music put on for dancers seemed to be aimed at couples wanting to Rhumba/ foxtrot and no other type of dance music, this i found strange they didnt cater to other dance genres when only a handful of couples came out to do ballroom dancing. Dated act on the last night was midly amusing a good organ player but again dated comedy and music, atleast other Bay hotels i have been to try to cover more decades of music. This may be there target audience and this may put me off from returning here which is a shame as its the fronline staff that make this hotel a possible 5 star review but i marked it down for the entertainment.

Just returned from a great week-end at the Burlington Hotel, Eastbourne on a Shearings coach trip. The hotel is very clean with good decor. Staff were very helpful and polite. I had a very nice single room which was very comfortable and nicely decorated.Food in the hotel was very good and with good service. We thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment each night while we were there, with a quiz each night and bingo on two nights. Debbie was very entertaining. The comedian on Saturday night was very funny and a lad named Andrew who entertained us with his singing on Sunday evening, was very good. Hotel is not far from the main shops. We had a really good time a and definitely will go back.

Originally booked holiday to stay at Majestic, Shearings changed this as Majestic not open (no reason given). Was not happy (please see review April 2017) but accepted offer as needed break.
As previous journey down and reception/allocation of room efficiently done. Room on 4th floor, next to fire escape but very quiet apart from squeaky floorboards when leaving my room. room good size and very comfortable bed, bit of a draught from window but I survived.
Food V good but small portions. Service also V good as in fact were all staff. Entertainment mainly average and as mentioned in other reviews OK if you liked old time dancing and bingo,
Yes still an old building "creaking" in places but 200 % better than last visit. Would not put anyone off staying but don't expect the Mayfair hotel standards. You mainly get what you pay for.

The hotel is good and the staff are pleasant. Our room 106 was very good as it looked it had been refurbished due to fire next door.
The evening food was cold and the veg sparce and full of water in the bowl.
The breakfast was exellent with top quality bacon.
Staff were pleasant as well.
We went on a trip to Battle and Hastings which were good but could have done with bit longer in Hastings ( interesting place. )

This budget hotel is situated in a good position on Eastbourne Sea front, it is clean, my bed was comfortuble, and the room was fine The general problems this hotel has are the same as the other Bay Hotels that I've stayed in.
Although my room was fine, and the heaters working, some other guests that I spoke to had a simular problem to myself in another Bay Hotel, namely a cold room. Further to that, the evening meals have much to be desired. Small portions, some soups with a good helping of H.20, packet soups no doubt, but the big laugh was Thursday Fish & Chips. The fish, haddock was fish mush, not a flaky fish, but here is the laugh, mushy peas ! ! Yes, you got mushy peas, no kidding, a teaspoonfull. Before my return,I was in mind to buy a bag of frozen mushy peas as a treat for the guests next Thursday !
No problem with Breakfast, fine, but how long before hole of polo mint lands on Bay Hotels menue's ?

I visited this hotel last weekend with my family.Our rooms were very comfortable and clean. Breakfast and dinner were both very tasty although could have been warmer. There are lots of local shops and restaurants/cafes too which filled up our days nicely. Christine the GM welcomed us upon our arrival on Friday and Ivone on reception was kind and informative. We had 4 free drinks each on Saturday night which was a pleasant surprise! Isabella the bar manager was entertaining and helpful. This is a very nice hotel, situated in a perfect spot in this lovely town and I will definitely visit again

just returned frpm 5 day national holiday, the break was great value for money . The breakfast is self service and on the whole was great however on two mornings the sausages looked and were overcooked. The evening meal is split on two sittings i chose the 7.15 which was relaxed and plenty of choices. All the staff are very friendly and specal mention to the bar staff think one was called katrina she was very helpfull and understanding. Great break
