Great location on the seafront - pack your swimmers for a quick dip. The rooms are clean, comfy and well appointed. Excellent shower in the room we had.

The fresh milk on check in is a great touch.
The team on check in and check out were very helpful and polite

Very glad to book and stay at the Port hotel. Compared to the others in the area it was the only modern boutique style hotel which matches my personal taste.
Improvements: more info on arrival wifi, breakfast times,maybe menu with prices. Is the bar open for drinks in evening etc. Local area, getting around etc. each floor level needs numbers and better signage overall. Cork might be great for winter but a little loud and sound proofing is needed(hear conversation outside door as clear as day). Todays climate AC is essential especially as windows limited. Didn’t want insects. Privacy screen on windows facing houses essential. Rooms compact but modern and neat which made stay much nicer! Hotels.com please provide hotel info after booking as I could only access the receipt. Nothing else provided - address telephone or room / amenities I booked etc.

Family rooms are in the basement - this is not made very clear on Expedia and the photos have certainly been enhanced to hide the lack of light...

Service is okay - staff aren't really informed. The staff on the morning of checkout was short, verging on rude. Staff didn't even ask how our stay was; just said bye.

Cleanliness is okay - pieces of pretzels on the floor near the window and dust in corners and under the bed.

No shelves in the bathroom make it almost impossible to comfortably use as a family. Finally the family room layout was much more basic that the glossy pictures, no sofa or lovely seating area, a bed, a bunk and a small table. The differences in the rooms options should be made clearer online when booking.

Wouldn't visit again; not worth the price at all.

My wife and I had an incredible stay at the lovely Port Hotel with a stunning waterfront view providing gently rolling waves for ambience with the windows cracked open. The staff were perfect and the Eastbourne waterfront was everything we'd hoped for an authentic English coastal experience. Although was not an issue for us, be aware there are no elevators so if you book an upper floor then you're in for a good workout getting up and down the stairs daily -- especially getting heavy bags up and down. Overall, 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

OK for one night

We booked a luxury room for two with a sea view, arriving at 5.30 pm. You have to download an app and enter personal information in order to gain entry. I'm not sure about the privacy when using this app. We were advised there is no staff on duty after 6 pm, and any questions have to be given by WhatsApp—no restaurant for dinner or breakfast. No bar was open, the whole place appeared empty or closed apart from us. Our room was on the 3rd floor, up narrow winding stairs, as there was no lift for guests. The room was fairly small for the price. The bathroom shower was good. There is a lot of traffic noise from the busy main road when staying in the front rooms. There was no ambience during our visit. No staff, no music, no people, no bar, no restaurant. Overall, one night was enough.

A spa getaway but with your ‘toddler’

It was really nice and cosy little things that made it different - coffee machine, nice towels and enough of them, lots of extra pillows. Nice shampoo/handwash gels. Only downfalls no network at all on our phones as our room was in the basement downstairs and also no sunlight or any outside few when you dont have it you realise how much of a difference it makes. Location was wonderful

A beautiful seafront hotel that really stands out. The design is amazing from the lobby to the rooms, which are very comfortable. The amenities offered were as expected. Was quite disappointed that I had to download an app in order to come in as there was no staff present at 6pm when I was checking in.

Beautiful room, service could be better

The hotel was recently renovated and we had a beautiful room with both bath and shower (room 6). The bed was super comfy and the view from the window was fab. With the windows up you can go to sleep listening to the sound of the sea.

The only downside was check in was very slow - due to weather everyone arrived at same time but more staff would really help, especially on a Saturday. We were left waiting for 45 minutes and a couple wanting to eat in the restaurant were unable to due to the waiting check in. I guess they're working on logistics and perhaps short staffed. The morning we were departing they got the rooms mixed up and inadvertantly walked in on us as we were getting ready to leave, which was a bit of a shock.

The family room is on the lower ground floor, which was not clear at all. The room was not very clean; there were stains on the chair and table. The soap appeared to be mixed with water or something similar.

Loved this beautiful hotel - the staff were so helpful and friendly. It was cosy even on a stormy weekend, with easy access to everything you could need. My only tiniest point would be to have body lotion in the bathroom, but that’s such a tiny thing and didn’t detract from the fantastic experience.

Perfect weekend getaway by the sea

Everything was perfect.

The staff were friendly and helpful with everything.

We stayed in the studio apt (room 5) and it was amazing, even better than the photos. Amazing sea views out of 4 gigantic windows, an enormous soft bed, an equally enormous bathroom with centrally-placed bath, 2 sinks, and a very nice shower. Really appreciated the extra details in the room, including binoculars for sea gazing and record player. It really is a home away from home.

Although there is a main road on the coast the traffic was not bad and road noise did not bother us during the staff. The room itself is very well insulated and we could not hear other rooms/ the downstairs bar.

The location is great, a few min walk from the pier, about 10 min walk from from very good restaurants. The station is very walkable, less than 20 min.

Breakfast and coffee were great as well.

Really can't recommend this hotel enough
