Was there for the tennis. Unfortunately the hottest day of the year and the minus of a fan and air con was a shortfall. Staff very friendly. Hotel is an old building so don’t go if you like a modern facility. Location was amazing for the tennis.

Chose the hotel because it offered parking and EV charging. When arrived found that the number of parking spaces are not sufficient for the number of rooms if every guest has a car. Helpful chap on reception kindly sorted out car charging for us and then moved the car elsewhere each night. Need to leave car keys with reception overnight so that they can play a game of tetris to enable drivers to leave when they want to. Good location, and breakfast was good, but the hotel could really do with a complete refresh as the decor is very tired. Stayed over a bank holiday weekend so expect prices to be high but this hotel is very expensive. Also, when I tried to call the hotel to ask about charging etc was unable to get through as the number provided on the booking confirmation was constantly engaged.

All staff we came across seemed happy & friendly. Check-in was easy. The parking is limited, it’s a rarity to have onsite parking in Eastbourne but we managed to bag a space, but the hotel does try it hardest for patrons to get parked in their car park.
Our room was spacious and clean. We were seeing a show at the Congress Theatre which was literally across the road, so we were perfectly placed. The promenade and town were an easy nice walk to. The bandstand and Wish Tower were also close by.
Breakfast was great and our server was lovely, nothing was too much trouble (sorry we didn’t get your name), but kudos to you 🙂
Overall a very good experience for our first trip to Eastbourne

We have stayed at this hotel several times before. It’s a great location in Eastbourne. The bed was clean and fresh and the breakfast very tasty.
However, it is very tired. Our room was very disappointing- damp on the ceiling, one light fitting in the en-suite was hanging out of the ceiling and 2 other down lighting bulbs did not work. There was no heating in the room and it was needed. Also, there was no BBC on the very small and inefficient TV.

My husband and I were on the way to Brighton and we decided to spend the night in Eastbourne.

I have to say, this was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in!

The staff were absolutely wonderful, and I can’t remember the name of the chap who was on the desk when we arrived, but he was so welcoming and so funny we really felt at ease.

The room was massive and the shower facilities were amazing. The water pressure and hot water fell almost luxurious..

I always worry a little bit about hotel beds and how comfortable they will be. This was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. We had an excellent night sleep.

The breakfast in the morning was great really tasty and the dining room staff were really nice and friendly as well.

Parking was a little bit of an issue because the parking lot was full. We managed to squeeze into a space and the guy in the front desk offered to move our car if it needed to be moved so it wasn’t really an issue but just in case it’s busy, you might want to get there early to secure a space.

The Location was also really good. It’s opposite the art gallery and cinema and there is a wonderful Italian restaurant down the road from the hotel there is another strong recommendation.

If we ever go back to Eastbourne, we will most definitely go back to this hotel.

We arrived to a friendly greeting and given our key to room 17 on the first floor, the room was large and lovely and warm with a huge bed plus really clean. The hotel is very interesting with lots of different sitting rooms and a bar all filled with original Victorian features plus old cameras and typewriters were amongst the artefacts to look at. All the staff were really friendly and the chap on reception we spoke to on checking out told us all about the history of the hotel and even took time to show us some of the features. Absolute bonus of having its own carpark or free local parking is a must in Eastbourne, the hotel is close to the seafront and the town centre and next to the theatres so a perfect spot for visitors no matter what you are looking for. I would definitely recommend and would return if we come back to Eastbourne.

The room could do with updating, but the bed was really comfy & bathroom spotless with a great walk-in shower.
Breakfast was good - full English + selection of cereals, juices etc.
My only complaint is that reception was unmanned when I came to check out & after repeatedly ringing the bell + waiting for 10 minutes I just left my keycard on the desk.

Sadly Disappointing stay

I booked this hotel as has parking on site and looked good on the website. I felt it was shabby and dated except where I had breakfast which was ok. Other guests were very noisy and I was in room 6 and below was a strong cannabis smell which came into my room. It was a warm evening but I had to sleep with the window closed. There was no phone in the room to contact reception and felt apprehensive doing that in any case of repercussions. I informed reception in the morning and although an apology given, I didnt feel was very empathetic. Appreciate not really any control with what residents bring with them but the smell was so so strong and maybe a sign should be placed on reception.
I felt very uncomfortable during my stay at this hotel sadly. The breakfast and service was good.

Breakfast absolutely gorgeous, treat to have proper toast not just warm bread. Staff serving breakfast particularly caring and helpful - 1st time we’ve ever tipped breakfast waiting team in hotel! Old building so some minor damage but doesn’t detract from overall experience. Certainly recommend and would be our choice if staying in Eastbourne again. 2 minutes walk from Congress Theatre.

The rooms were ok, clean but could do with a fresh lick of paint. The main reason I may not stay there again was a man who shouted obscenities at 6.30am for about an hour and again in the evening around 11.00pm on a patch of green behind the hotel. It may have been a homeless person who was living in a tent there. Reception said that they could do nothing about it and that the police were not interested in solving the problem. Some neighbours pleaded with him to be quiet as they had children who were trying to sleep but he continued none the less.
