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.

5 stars for the five nights I stayed, about the safety there hasn’t been any security breach in the hotel, there is also a single that says “Help Wanted”, the only thing I saw is that a employee called Freddy acted quirky at night, other than that

Recently, I decided to update some switches and replace a light fitting, so I contacted Christian. To my surprise, he was able to fit me in at the end of the day, which was much appreciated.
While carrying out the work, he pointed out that my fuse box was quite old and should probably move higher up my list of home improvements. There was no pressure or scare tactics, just sensible advice. As it turned out, he was absolutely right when the fuse box failed to switch back on once the work had been completed.
Christian provided a separate quote and full details for the additional work, which I was happy to approve. Everything was completed without a hitch, and I even took the opportunity to add another long-standing electrical job to the list so it could all be dealt with at the same time.
Professional, reliable, and easy to deal with throughout. I'd happily recommend Christian to anyone looking for a trusted electrician.

Lovely kitchen & associated works by SLS (we've now used them for a number of jobs). Highly recommended company; we were delighted with the standard of work by Luke & Tony and Tracy is such a help behind the scenes.
