Went on a 5 day break with Shearings to this hotel on 27th july.We had a standard room at the rear of the hotel which was quite adequate with a flat screen tv,a very comfortable bed and tea and coffee making facilities.The only downside was the bathroom which needs updating.We asked for extra pillows which were delivered to our room promptly.The room was spotlessly clean.We found the food to our liking with choices and couldnt fault the portions.The dining room staff were very efficient.All in all good value for money.

PROS> Room nice and big [standard plus 421] good seaview ,spotlessly clean but basic small flat screen T.V. .Position of hotel great ,Mark entertainment manager very good worked hard to entertain everyone. Food average and reasonable for price.
CONS> No air con in public areas made it extremely hot and stuffy.Reception staff coarse and abrupt .But main problem was our waitress miserable and totally unable to get our order correct any of the 5 days we there. We repeatly had ask for water and on some nights did not get it. p.s Shearing need to review some of there trips went to Bexehill for afternoon excursion very dull dull and boring....

Chosen as looked like a good option for a break with my father who is in his late 80s. Excellent location on seafront - very close to pier and bandstand. Rooms clean and well decorated (booked standard plus room). Food fairly plain but suitable for majority of guests age group and plenty of choices. Dining room staff very helpful in arranging gluten free options for my father. Evening entertainment not to my taste but seemed to be enjoyed by most guests. Only problem in hotel was the lifts - only 2 for large hotel and 1 can only comfortably carry 2 people so lots of queues at mealtimes and when coach party's arrive. Overall a good value hotel in a good location.

This hotel may be a little dated, but it didn't stop us having a good time here. We found the staff pleasant and efficient. The food was very good. My friend loved the sweet and sour chicken. There is a choice of starter, mains and desserts for dinner. However as a starter, sometimes I would have preferred orange juice. Regarding the entertainment, Mark works very hard to keep everyone happy (his laugh is very infectious!). There are games of bingo and quizzes as well as music and comedy. Our rooms were on 3rd floor served by two lifts, one being tiny and a little claustrophobic. Some air conditioning would help in public areas though. All in all this is a very good hotel and we would and probably stay again.

We went to Burlington hotel for our 2nd eight day break this year. We have been to Eastbourne before and liked the resort and area. We previously stayed at the majestic hotel and we were not impressed at all so settled for the Burlington hotel. All in all a great improvement on the majestic, hotel very nice in a great location right on the sea front close to pier, gardens and bandstand. The room was good more than Adaquate in size and decor and cleanliness good. Bathroom a good size with bath and shower over bath, plenty hot water. Towels changed as you needed and room kept very clean. The entertainment was fine, a little better than some shearings hotels, mark was good he's the host and tried to please all guests, bingo, quiz as usual and a good range of music for dancing most nights. The whole staff right through the hotel were pleasant and very accommodating no complaints there at all. The only downside at this hotel is the food!!! Not of a good standard compared to other hotels, the salads were shocking! A large portions of salad leaves two slices of tomato and cucumber a spoonful of coleslaw and a mound of grated cheese or tuna!! No condiments to add to your salad, oil or mayonnaise or salad cream none at all on request, don't go near the brochettes, a slice of French stick covered in tinned tomatoes, and small piece of pepper, disgusting uneadible, and the braised steak!!! We joked with our fellow diners it looked like horse meat perhaps red rum or arkle!! We had to laugh!!!! Other than our dining experience every thing was really enjoyable, we will return in the future but hope that the food improves before then.

Spent 4 nights in a wonderful room (406) with a fabulous sea view, it was spacious, very clean and well maintained. The staff could not have been more helpful and special praise must go to the restaurant for opening early for us, so that we could eat before going to the theatre.

Just returned from the Burlington Hotel for the third time, Went especially for the air show,
It has lots of niggling faults but value for money you cannot complain, it doesn't possess to be a 4 or 5* hotel. You get what you pay for.
We stay at this hotel because it has a prime location, it sits in front of the famous flower gardens, and in between the Pier and the Bandstand,
I do not think it necessary to request any particular room unless you have thoughts on spending a lot of time in it, The rooms at the front of the hotel offer fantastic views of the coastline, however during the summer months lots of youngsters congregate on the beach front till the small hours of the morning, so can be a bit noisy when you are trying to sleep, If you can look passed the car park, the rooms at the back do give some stunning views of the surrounding hills and country side.
We had a room at the back, quite large and adequate for us, although the décor leaves a little to be desired, I don't understand why you would paint rooms in a drab grey colour, the same drab colour has also been used to paint the skirting boards and radiator???, we were on the top floor, it had obviously had a leak at some point, the repair must have been done by Bodge it and Leg it, the walls and coving had been repainted but still showed signs of bubbling and crumbling paintwork, during our week there it rained heavily and another damp patch appeared on the wall,,
The restaurant is large, nicely decorated and pleasant, the food is nice, three choices of starters, mains and deserts, Breakfast was good too, Waitresses however are a little harassed, I think its because the timings of meals ie 1.15 mins for each, leave little time for the staff to served everyone properly, we often did not receive a glass of water, or waited ages for a spoon to eat our dessert, minor irritations.
The entertainment was not our cup of tea, but have to say most of the older guests were enjoying themselves every night, so well done to Mark and his cabaret acts. If you intend to stay in the hotel take a fan as it gets very hot during the evening, also if you intend to watch the cabaret acts of wish to have a dance there are limited seats near the dance floor so try and get in there early.
The hotel is a good place for a base, it is friendly and has good amenities, its not luxury but very good value for money, there are lots of activities, history and site seeing around, well worth a visit
we will return. thank you

We stayed here on our first visit to Eastboune and love the town now, the hotel is a bit dated and I hated the tiny lifts so walked up to our room rather than go in lift.
We found it to be a bit old and dated but the food was nice and the entertainment we did see was ok, a comedian/impressionist one night, the music was too old for us but then we did choose a shearings holiday to avoid the driving and it was a good package in all.
The wifi only worked when we sat downstairs which was a bit annoying.
Wish we had upgraded our room to get a better tv and maybe a sea view

Position- on the seafront opposite the pier and gardens. nice flat surface for the elderly and the disabled, - short walk to the town centre- 3 mile prom nice walk
Room - we had room 343 was at the rear a standard plus- large twin bedded room .
cleaned each day, fresh towels- but very warm - no fan or air conditioning made it very warm at night.- clean bathroom-
Food. was excellent - ( you always have the moaners) full served breakfast- choice of
starter, main and sweet at evening - the chefs specials were VERY GOOD - I tried them all -
lifts - only 1 working and made it difficult at times to use and so many disabled and elderly were slow getting in and out of the lifts, need the other to be working quickly
evening and breakfast times especially were busy -
reception and bar staff good - chatty and quick.
Waitress - ours was DIONE - very good and pleasant - nice smile made the morning
seeing such a cheerful face -
Entertainment- each night - but overall - average to poor- Bingo and artist
Resort- plenty of walking and very pleasant- but too quiet for us- nothing going on
during the week at nights- a handful of pubs -
overall the hotel was quite adequate- seemed to be catering for the "older visitor"
wouldn't recommend for family or younger people.
Long journey from Lancashire- no entertainment on the coach- either way -
2 stops - tip- take your own food and drinks as motorway services are busy and expensive.- no info in the room from the driver as to check out times and which coach to get on - ours was changed from the trip- down- we had to go and ask at reception
as a holiday we would rate this as a 6/10
