didn't have the best start. Check in was 3pm, room wasn't ready until 3.30, but I didn't find it to be a big issue.
We stayed in the family room with a sea view room 312 ( in case anyone interested), you get 2 rooms (1 double bed and 1 single bed) with TV's in both rooms, shower and tea/coffee.
Location is amazing, 10 mins walk from center and 2 mins from the pier (not much to do on the pier unless you like arcade).
We didn't have breakfast or dinner at the hotel, so can't really comment on that.(£10 breakfast pp and £20 dinner pp), had amazing meal with 2 of my kids in Italian restaurant 5 mins walk from the hotel for £50 including drinks, 2 course and tip included (so do the math).
Age group at this hotel is mixed with family but, lots of old people which we didn't mind because they're just mind their business and we were out all day, so not an issue.
There was nothing special in the evenings, but they are plenty or bars and restaurants nearby.
Overall great stay, despite being worried about some of the negative reviews we booked and had a lively time, hotel bit old but not bad and friendly staff.

This was my third recent stay at a Coast and Country hotel and each provided a very comfortable stay and represented excellent value for money. This Eastbourne property was no different and I found the staff to be very helpful and attentive. My room overlooking the pier and seafront was spacious and well equipped. The three large sash windows offered splendid views and good ventilation. There was little or no noise except for the calming crash of waves.

I booked the weekend as a treat for husband from our children for his Birthday. The reviews really worried me but i thought we would make the best of it whatever. Pleasantly suprised . Room on second floor was very spacious with fantastic view of pier and promenade. Food festival on so pleanty to look at . Very clean thoughout even though bathroom was small but adequate. Staff lovely but understaffed in dining room which made for a long wait to get served. Breakfast was ok apart from sausages. Bacon and eggs cooked lovely . The lift only just fits two people without luggage . My only complaint was the only female toilet was on the ground floor down a flight of stairs or a trip in the lift if there wasn’t a queue ( which there always was ) if you were in the restaurant its quite a way to the ladies and as i have mobility issues this was a concern . But overall a lovely stay made by the fabulous setting of the hotel and the staff . We will return .

We have visited Eastbourne many times but this was our first time at the Burlington. I'd read quite a few reviews which were positive overall. As some of the reviews had stated, the decor was indeed tired and a bit neglected in places (gaffer tape peeling off the frayed carpet on one of the stairs, which needed vacuuming and several stains on the carpet in our delux room). Check in was fairly smooth but when we got to our 'deliux' room we found that there was a pizza box (with six leftover slices in) on the top of the wardrobe and two carrier bags full of rubbish inside it. On our way out we told the receptionist and she was very apologetic and arranged to have it cleared away immediately. I know mistakes happen in busy workplaces but it would have been nice if the hotel had offered a complimentary glass of wine - or something - as a gesture to make up for the bad first impression but nothing was offered. Also, the room, which was spacious and had a fantastic sea view, was very hot (the towel rail and electric heater had been left on) and there wasn't a fan available. On the positive side, the location is great. It's just across the road from the beach, a short walk to the cliffs and has lots of bars and restaurants nearby. It's also nice and quiet during the night, unlike seafront hotels in nearby Brighton. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was nice. I know many hotels are a struggling to get back to normal and make a profit but I think this place could be lovely if a bit more attention was paid to the cleaning and maintenance of the place. On the whole, we enjoyed our stay but it wasn't worth the £312 (including parking) we paid for two nights.

Well a lovely Victorian Hotel
That is typical of the British sea side at the turn of the century
Ok so it’s not the Ritz
But hey it’s bang in the middle of one of England’s seaside
Breakfast was excellent
Dinner fabulous
The staff are overworked and working their socks
Off
They are a credit to the hotel
Thanks for a great mid week break

We went self drive with Shearings for a 5 days break. Don't be put off by some reviews we had a really nice time. The bedrooms were nice and clean and beds really comfy. Breakfast and evening meals were very good nice choice. Couldn't fault the staff they were all very friendly so all in all we had a lovely holiday, how some people can write such bad reviews I don't know, would advise you to see for yourself.

Stayed here on a Shearings coach tour. I had a single room which was o.k. but the bathroom was tiny, had to sidestep so I could close the door. However it was very clean. The towels were really fluffy and it was a bath sheet rather than a bath towel. The only criticism I have of the room was the amount I had to pay for a single supplement (over £100)!
The food was average but palatable and was served promptly. The only fault was I asked for a fruit juice for starters as I didn’t like any of what was offered and was told fruit juice was only available at breakfast!
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The remarks that were made that half the hotel had been knocked down were untrue as it was the hotel next door that had burned down two years ago. I do feel people should get their facts right before commenting. Alright the place does need a little tlc but in the present circumstances and the fact it has changed hands probably has not helped but it would not deter me from staying again

yes the hotel needs refurbishment abd its being done, but our room was very comfortable and very very clean , nice big tv bed very comfortable, breakfast was self service but excellent , Tracey the housekeeping manager treated us like royalty , can't wait to go back plus there is car parking and you can walk to the shop's ,and its right on the sea front ,a stroll out on the pier is a must .
