This was my first stay in a hotel from the 17 to 20 of May and so this is my view that my third floor single room was clean tidy and roomy had a small TV, it was cleaned every morning by polite cleaning staff, a good choice of food at breakfast and evening meals and was served by polite helpful staff, my first stay at a hotel was a good one.

Just returned from a 3 night stay at this Shearings Hotel. I had a single room on the top floor and couldn't fault it. Clean and warm with a seaview and the ensuite bathroom was modern and sparkling white. The food was good and the service was quick and efficient. This is a good budget hotel and I think a lot of the bad reviews are just nit picking. Three things I would pick up on although none of these are criticisms. Firstly it would be good if the hotel could put a card on top of the television in each room asking if guests would turn off their TVs between 11pm and 7am for the comfort of other guests. I have seen these in other hotels. My next door neighbor returned to his room at 11.30pm. Switched on the TV until 1am then woke me up at 5.30am with the TV again!!! I don't think some people realise that noise carries through walls and perhaps a notice would remind them. Secondly if you want a drink with your meal buy it beforehand at the bar and take it into the restaurant. There is only one wine waiter for the whole restaurant and the people on my table didn't get a chance to order a drink. Thirdly if you want to tip a waitress do it as you go along. I left it to the end and asked where to put tips so they are shared out and it seems there is no system. So I left no tip which was a shame as I would have liked to.
Thank you Shearings for an enjoyable stay. Especially nice as we had such fabulous weather over the Bank Holiday and saw Eastbourne and Beachy Head in all its glory

My friends and I have stayed at the Burlington 6 times in the last 3 years,and keep coming back as it a nice hotel in a very good location, The value for money is excellent, the food is very good, always lots of variety, great and quick service, all of the staff are efficient and friendly and the entertainment is good, ok it maybe geared to the older generation but it is still good and we have taken our 40 and 50 year old children, [I am in my {young!]
70s and the rest in their 60s] and they have all really enjoyed it all too.
The hotel is gradually getting refurbished, we have seen changes in the last year, with new lounge furniture etc, ok some of the bedrooms are a little tired but given time I think these will be done, considering the age of the building its not too bad.
We have already booked again for another weekend in October.
If you want an excellent location Hotel on a budget you cannot do better than visit the Burlington Hotel.

Another good value, comfortable stay at the Burlington. We stayed for a long weekend for my husbands 50th birthday in 2006, and enjoyed it so much that we have been back every year since, yes there are better hotels in Eastbourne, but I don't think you can beat the Burlington for the location, the friendly staff, the choice of food, and the comfortable room, at a very affordable price. (Upgrade to a premier room if you can) although all rooms are comfortable, and VERY clean! I can't comment on the entertainment as we have never attended.
Eastbourne is great for walking and shopping, and enjoying the seafront.

We went to the Burlington for a family trip. We've stayed there twice before. It is a lovely hotel in a really fab location. It is fantastic value for money. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was good. Always a choice of about 3 dishes for starter, main course and 3 selections for puddings. The entertainment was good too. It's not a 5* ritz but the location, and friendly ness of staff makes it a really lovely place to be. We'll definitely be returning.

A couple of days before staying at this hotel we read some reviews on it, and were a bit concerned about staying there. On arrival the outside of the hotel looked shabby but we were surprised by how nice our bedroom was, very bright and nicely decorated. It was a shame about the cracked sink in the bathroom, the non matching toilet seat and dusty wardrobe, also the T.V in our room was very dated, with poor picture quality. The hotel needs updating. We were surprised that the steps leading to the main entrance were not lit at night especially as the majority of the guests are elderly. Breakfast was very good, although portions were small, if you asked for more you got it. Dinner was very poor, especially if you are vegetarian, there is only one choice. The vegetarian risotto looked like a plate of vomit. Our waitress maria was excellent and could not do enough for us. The hotel is in a good location, generally very clean and the staff are polite and friendly.

We went to the Burlington Hotel Eastbourne for a birthday weekend. It is a comfortable hotel in a great seaside location near the Pier at Eastbourne. It is, like all Bay Hotels a little on the old retro style type of building and as most Bay Hotels that we have stayed is being constantly updated while you stay there. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly with nothing being too much trouble. The food was good but we have noticed that the choice is becoming more limited and the portions smaller.The entertainment was suited to an OAP audience which covered most of the guests staying there at the time of our visit. Parking is limited and on street only, there is a car park on offer but it is expensive and some distance away. Our standard room was clean and tidy and good value for money and came complete with a pet seagull who adopted our window balcony and woke us up most mornings to receive his daily breakfast of biscuits. If you wish to stay in Eastbourne for a weekend at a reasonable price, this hotel would be a good choice.

I enjoyed my stay at the Burlington. It is ideally located with sea views and is just across from Eastbourne pier where a lot of bus services start. Terminus Road which leads to the pedestrian shopping area and cafes and restaurants is just around the corner. I stayed on a B&B deal and as a single traveller, was given a twin room for single occupancy. Sadly I didn't have a sea view but considering the deal I got, I didn't mind this. The hotel is part of the Shearings Group whose target target is senior citizens and the vast majority of guests were of the older generation. I prefer a quitter place to stay so I didn't mind this. Although I was out of the hotel most of the time, there is an entertainment programme that goes on until midnight with entertainers, singers and discos if that's your sort of thing. Mu only real quibble was the seating for breakfast. The first morning I asked where I should sit. Some hotels allocate specific tables to your room. It took 3 members of staff to sort out where I could sit. The next day I went to the same table only to be interrupted midway through my meal by a judgmental elderly couple, clearly upset as I was sitting at "their" table. They obviously complained as I was asked by the manager to sit at a different table for next morning's breakfast. The serving staff were friendly and efficient but this disorganisation was noticeable. Overall, the hotel was fine and certainly value for money.

We went to the Burlington for a long weekend with friends and thought the location of the Burlington was ideal for our needs. We found the hotel itself very clean but in need of updating. While our room was of a good size there was a crack in the sink and the constant hum of the air con unit outside the window was annoying when trying to sleep. The breakfasts were lovely but the evening meal was not so good with a poor choice of vegetables and not really enough for a group of healthy eaters. On a lighter note the staff were all excellent, and could not do enough for us, Maria our waitress was lovely and couldnt have been more helpful.

We went on a 5 day coach trip with National and stoped here for 4 nights, found it was a great location right opposite the pier and within easy reach for everything, Good food and a great room with entertainment on each night including dancing and quizzes with a superb commedian on the last night, Will be going back again in the near future!
