We enjoyed our stay at Guestling Hall Hotel and were welcomed at the door by Chad, who was polite and courteous. The room was beautifully decorated and warm at all times. The breakfast was hot, as I like it,and very tasty and plentiful. If you wish to have fresh filtered coffee, just ask, at no extra cost. Chad's partner was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely come back and recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank you for a lovely and enjoyable stay.

Room was good. No hand soap or shower gel though. Big TV, lovely superking sized bed....couple of chairs to relax in. WiFi worked well.

Friendly greeting and check in.

Bath water wasn't quite hot enough both times it was used, but was still warm.

No eggs at breakfast which apparently had been like that all weekend...I don't understand why someone didn't get some?

Then they ran out of pain au chocolats...and the bread used for toast was the cheap kind.

Few niggles but generally a good stay.

We arrived on a very miserable wet Friday evening and got a great warm welcome to the hotel: thank you. We stayed in room 1 which is up in the attic: a lovely quirky room that was very quiet and comfortable, though you do need to mind your head as you move around the room. We didn’t realise when we chose this room that the room’s bathroom was downstairs: this was okay but we may have chosen differently had we known.
The public spaces in the hotel were comfortable and welcoming but the general decor throughout needs refreshing as some of the paintwork has become grubby.
The hotel has WiFi but it doesn’t reach through the whole building: the availability of decent WiFi in a hotel is, these days, really a basic requirement, and not a luxury. There is definitely an urgent need to address this in this hotel.

Stayed here for a night before a family event. It was very convenient for our needs. The staff were lovely, so helpful and friendly. Our room was wonderful, with lots of lovely touches (including home made cookies). There were a few squeaks and creeks (the bathroom door particularly) that a bit of pil would probably sort out.
Breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast Ive had in a very long time. The mushrooms and scrambled eggs were heavenly.
Our only issuewas that our room faced the road and so was was a bit noisy but they cant move the hotel, and they do provide earplugs!
Im sure we'll be back.

We saw a few things that could be improved. First was the cleanliness of the shower as it needed a good cleaning. Second is the addition of lighting at the end of the driveway to make visible at night. It was difficult to find in the dark especially when people were speeding along the road and couldn't slow down to spot the drive.

The Manager and his partner were very friendly and the food was to a high standard.
Some observations, in the room we were allocated, the 'on suite' could be improved by providing a shelf in the shower instead of having to reach down to ground level for shampoo etc , and a towel rail would be useful in the suite. Also, the water pressure in the hand basin can only be described as a trickle for both hot and cold water.
These observations are made by someone in their eighties who unfortunately finds it difficult to bend these days.

We were greeted when we arrived by the hotel manager who was lovely and friendly. The hotel parking was easy and the rooms were clean - the bed was comfy. We needed to be at a wedding from 3pm which was check in time and the hotel were kind to let us check in a tiny bit early.

My only issue (which is why my review isn’t excellent) was that the suite of rooms we were given had locks on each room with a shared bathroom but not lockable from the external main door which opens to all the rooms - which means I felt uncomfortable allowing my young daughter to sleep outside of my locked door.

She could have locked her bedroom door but for an 8 year she would have found that hard. My husband and son sadly didn’t join us in the end so she slept in with me but if they had this would have been tricky for us to manage and we’d have likely had to move rooms.

The breakfast was good with a friendly waitress. We would stay again but not in the same rooms.

Lovely welcome from the manager and easy check in. Bathroom in room not very clean,nowhere to hang towels or put anything. Bed very comfy. Had frosted glass on window so felt very enclosed. Breakfast was dreadful. If you have allergies do not stay here if you want to eat.The wait for coffee and for a order to be taken was 20 minutes,I am gluten free and was told I could not have the sausage, I ordered a full English but what I got after nearly a hour was a few mushrooms,1 egg a pot of beans and a tomato., I was told the bacon was not safe as cooked with sausage, then a few minutes later 3 cold bits of bacon appeared, we did not eat and on the 2nd morning we ate breakfast out. Very tired looking hotel needs some tlc.

Tired 2* hotel in need of some TLC from owner

We booked this hotel as it was a conveinent location for our schedule. Parking is adequate by the entrance door. We were greeted at reception promptly and asked to sign a waver for potential damage. We noted that the booking was for indivudal rooms and we were allocated Room 2 at the end of the corridor at the front. The room has enough space and a tight but functional ensuite Bathroom. The shower water pressure varies which creates cold periods when used. The TV had only a few channels that worked. The proximity to the road is a disadvantage as noisey vehicles struggle to get up the steep gradient at night. The single curtain was inadequate to keep out light so it woke us up early in the morning.

The grounds are large with a fair sized pond in the middle enough to walk a dog in the morning. However the area is rough and not well maintained.

Breakfast is average, as the food was only luke warm a with long 45 minute wait on day 2 which was frustrating.

I would rate this a 2 star hotel. It could do with some refurbishment investment and TLC from the owner, as it has the potential to be very nice hotel.

Overnight stay

Bedrooms are lovely only down side was not have a lock on the area door deviding the room from rest of hotel so that anyone could just walk through to bedroom doors. Even though booked a room with master and single. Didn’t like that we were separated by heavy bedroom door. As daughter couldn’t move the bedroom door, so she slept on a giant Teddy in the room we was in as didn’t like that anyone could just walk into that area as no lock on door apart from the main bedrooms plus she couldn’t open her door once closed.
Daughter was deeply disappointed in not being able to go for a swim as we purposely booked the hotel because it had a pool. We were told that not been able to get a part for the pool for last 2 years and not been use for that time.
Apart from that manager was very welcoming, lady servicing breakfeast was lovely and friendly. Daughter adored her. Breakfeast was very filling and yummy.
Daughter said maybe add pancakes with syrup and blueberries onto menu.

Beautiful house, amazing value

Beautiful house set in large grounds with ponds, and garden. Plenty of free parking out front. Large comfortable room with period features. Free breakfast cooked to order served in the conservatory. Afternoon cream tea Is also available. Must be booked at least a day in advance. There is a Beefeater restaurant a five minute walk down the road which was handy as no food was available. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only negatives (hence 4 stars) were that Radio One was blasting at full volume all day and into the evening (even during breakfast). I would have thought some quiet classical music or modern jazz would have been appropriate lovely old house. Traffic noiselooooud but earplugs were thoughtfully provided. But all in all for 80 quid an absolute bargain!

Semi rural stopover place ideal if touring an area

Lovely character full older property in its own grounds just outside Hastings. It suited our needs entirely as a quiet location out of town although the road to Rye passes outside but not unduly intrusive at all. Lovely period furniture in the public areas of the hotel with helpful and friendly staff especially at breakfast service. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and you have the time take a brief wander around the lake with its fountain, the grounds need a little work and tidying but its perhaps an ongoing project so we would stop here again.

Quirky Hastings hotel

Pleasant welcome, shown to room. It’s an old property so the rooms are a little quirky. Room was clean although there was a slightly musty smell probably because of it being an old building. Tea and coffee making equipment in room. The shower was clean and worked well. The tap of the bathroom sink could have been more powerful, it was little more than a dribble which made teeth brushing difficult. My room was on the opposite side of the hotel from the road so was very quiet, and I had the window open all night as my visit was during the heatwave, however there were packets of earplugs in the room. There is ample on site parking. I was contacted a couple of days before my stay to let me know the restaurant is not open in the evening at the moment however a cooked English breakfast (regular and vegetarian) and toast and cereals are available in the morning. The hotel is well situated to get to Hastings sea front and town centre ( about 10 minutes by car) and probably around 20 minutes to get to Rye. It is about 5-10 minutes by car to the local hospital. It is an interesting old building and has outside seating. The hotel was very suitable for my trip, I was visiting a friend, and I would stay there again.

28 year Anniversary

My husband and I chose this hotel to spend a couple of days away to celebrate our 28 year anniversary.The staff couldn't do enough for us and i think it was Chloe who decorated our room beautifully with heart decorations, which was very much appreciated. The hotel was clean and tidy and had an en suite bathroom and the grounds were nice . The breakfast was served really quickly and was of a good standard. The only negative we had, and unfortunately did affect our stay , was the bed , while it looked impressive, and I'm not sure if all the beds in the hotel were the same but there was 2 mattresses doubled up on eachother so there wasn't any back support and resulted in my husband and i being in alot of pain with our necks and backs . Apart from this we had a pleasant stay .

I really wanted to throughly enjoy our stay hence why we ended up booking 2 nights instead of 1 however so many small issues that coild so easilh be resolved to make this hotel perfect.
Room 8 the side of the toilet was dirty, the shower seal had black mould. The curtains once closed where covered jn cobwebs, my husband dropped his cap side of bed and picked it up covered jn dust. Needed binoculars to see the tv from the bed, The complimentry cider was 2 months out of date. The landing stair carpet was dirty.
Room5 the shower head was cracked, there was no non slip mat for bath or handles to ease getting in and out. The curtains needed to be blackout or just a blind. The lamp was broken, the sheet didnt fit the bed. The external windows on both rooms were dirty and covered jn cobwebs not fresh ones either.
Both evenings we had notes through the door with regards to the evening meals chef being late, meals not available. Breakfast menu just needs updating has it doesnt list what you get on full english correctly. The external of the buildinv needs some tlc.
Such a shame we encountered these issues has it is a lovely buildinv and with some tweeks it could be fabulous. Its lacking attention to detail.

Decent hotel, good price and location

Very pleasant welcome from the staff as we arrived with quick checkin and everything ready for us to checkin. The room is a decent size and clean, generally comfortable. As it’s an older property you can hear creaking from other rooms but not too bad, needs a little bit of tlc around but again overall pretty good. Bar onsite with decent pricing. Breakfast also a good selection with friendly staff.

Overall we would recommend this hotel

A wonderful country property The Guestling Hall sits high on a hill with beautiful landscape views. Close to Hastings, yet far enough out in the countryside to breathe the fresh air.
The rooms have been updated and are comfortable.
It’s a wonderful place to hang out and they have a very good dining room open all day long. Chef Jamie has a delicious ever changing menu.
It’s a very well run hotel. Worth going to for a nice change of scenery.
