I'm not used to using sites such as this, as a result I decided to browse other reviews of this hotel to give me inspiration.
Well it fired me up that's for sure!
Come on people, this is not a 5 star hotel. However the service is first class all the way.
The staff were so freindly and welcoming, they made it feel like a home from home. Mark the entertainer went out of his way to get to know us guests and have a laugh.
Evon and Beccy at reception were so helpful. I personally didn't use the bar except for lunch but the chaps there were real stars, and mustn't forget Laura who waited drinks at our table most evenings (Thanks to her I descovered pineapple and lemonaid).
And the waitress in the restaurant was kind.
I stayed in one of the newly refurbished rooms. Oh it was lovely! Comfortable bed, beautiful views and very clean.
Those who mark this hotel down are obviously living on a different planet, or reviewing the wrong hotel.
It wasn't perfect, the small coffee bar was far too hot to sit in, poor bar staff looked over heated and about ready to drop.
The restaurant wasn't much better, poor waiting staff.
The room was a little stuffy but with the window open gave some relief. Not enough fans to go round!
Would I return? Definitely.
Value for money. Beautiful food. Beautiful rooms. Beautiful views. Beautiful staff.

We stayed for seven nights earlier this month. The hotel is undergoing extensive refurbishment which has given it a nice clean fresh look. Our room was spacious and cool due to having a dual aspect window, great given the heat at that time, however several guests asked for , and were given fans for their rooms. We had paid for a sea view and it was worth the extra making our time spent in our room that more enjoyable. The beds were comfortable and the housekeeping was very good, much better than we have experienced in some other non Shearings hotels. The food was plentiful and varied and the service in the restaurant was excellent. There was entertainment every evening and varied from diverting to very good. Overall we were very pleased with our stay and the staff whether, working reception, housekeeping or entertainment were all first class, going out of their way to be accommodating and pleasant. Yes perhaps some of the hotel is still in need of refurbishment but considering the cost of our holiday it was excellent value for money. The only downside is the two very small old lifts, for those of us who are claustrophobic, take the stairs if you can!

We visit Eastbourne regularly for the Lamas Festival and for the occasionally break and usually stay at the Burlington. We visit by train so can't comment on the parking arrangements. This is an old Hotel gradually being upgraded. There are a few drawbacks, poor TV reception in the rooms and the lack of WiFi even in the public areas, inadequate lifts especially considering the lack of mobility of many of the guests. We were on the fourth floor this time and the hot water had a struggle to reach us, plenty of it but low pressure in the shower. That aside - our room was clean, well furnished and comfortable, with a change of linen and towels during our short stay. Breakfasts were good, I'm a porridge eater so was pleased to see the big help yourself porridge cauldrons were still a feature. There seems to be a reduction in the variety items available on the buffet this year - yoghurts were absent although were available on request apparently. We found the evening meal both for veggie and normal folk acceptable, certainly not gourmet dining, but well cooked and good choice considering that they must produce something like 500 dinners each evening. I would love to be a fly on the wall in that kitchen, would probably make a good TV program. We did notice that portion sizes are down on last year, but there seems to be a lot of waste. We had spaghetti Bolognese one evening but still received a large side dish of potatoes and vegetables. The Burlington have the knack of selecting marvelous staff. Our waitress this time was smiley Maggie, where does she get the energy from ? She seemed to cheer every one up - even the old grumps. The bar staff were cheerful and efficient, the evening entertainment up to it's usual standards under MoC Mark. The reception staff, well I would gladly have strangled one or two of the guest for them, but they remained calm and professional as usual. To sum up the Burlington is a bit faded but improving, excellent value, excellent position on the seafront, easy transport links, excellent staff, good evening entertainment, pretty standard food, ideal for short breaks. We will return.

My favorite hotel in south england! Love the english victorian style.
We had a great room with view to the lovely pier. Renovated and clean. Cozy bed and bedcover. Friendly staff!! Tasty english breakfast with buffet.
Situated at the seafront you can have a walk at the coast or through the city. Nothing to complain about. We'll definately come back!

This is such a beautiful space. So far, I've been to yoga, dance and kirtan (chanting) here. It feels different each time but there's always a very relaxed energy and great sense of community. I love how I keep bumping into the same like-minded people at different classes!

I went for a one night stay on a coach trip. Nice hotel and staff but 3 course food menu for our coach party was aweful. It was very basic, the food looked like it had been sitting on a hot plate and looked dry up. I didn't even order from the menu and I walked out and went elsewhere. Breakfast was good though.
