Nice hotel
The hotel is large and well presented. The rooms themselves were medium sized and had a shared balcony area above the first floor, and as I have been to Eastbourne countless times at many hotels I would put this definitely in the upper ranks compared to all others. The man on reception was very friendly and funny. The only downside was that due to being immediately on the seafront, you have no choice but to listen to whatever is playing on the bandstand, which wasn’t great for my mother who wanted an early night.

Spacious clean room. Bathroom could do with updating. Good location on sea front by the bandstand. 5 mins to town and 10 mins to station. A drinks fridge in the room would be nice.

Like - cleanliness, location, very helpful maintenance man. Dislike - Boiling hot room, no fan, only 1 plug which didn't work, ceiling leaked when it rained, shower holder broken & not much of a flow. Reception not helpful & ignored when I asked for a fan. Looked at me as if it was my fault! Lovely maintenance man got us a fan & an extension lead as we had to unplug the tv which had no space to get another appliance in (kettle) & would have been on the floor!

Our room faced the promenade and was just opposite the Bandshell. At 8 pm, the band began to play, and as they finished at 10 pm, we were thrilled by the fireworks visible from our room and our balcony.

Old Skool!
The hotel is in a great location, right opposite the sea front. The staff are friendly from the front desk team to the housekeepers- all very nice. The sleep quality is very good; comfy beds, pillows and nice linen. The hotel itself is very dated and in desperate need of an update. Threadbare chairs, dirty carpets and old skool decoration. I can forgive the decoration as it does have a charm, but replace the chairs that are so worn you don’t even want to sit on them. It is quiet for saying the location, however the rooms do get hot and there’s no fan. This is especially difficult when they tell you not to open the window due to seagulls. The shower is bad, more like a portable tap than a shower really. It’s fine- but there does need to be investment to bring this hotel up to standard; not even former glory.

This Hotel should be done up quickly. Our room/cupboard with a view of the rusty fire escape was outdated with a bathroom door out of the Ark, As for the breakfast, we payed £20 to make our own! make your own tea/coffee, toast, from a 2 slice 1930's toaster, form an ordely queue. No rolls/pastries/fresh fruit, just prunes and the hot food served out of a trolley/ban marie. Cheapest cereals as well. No parking, not even disabled. We left early.
