Stayed in a single room. Spacious and had a mini fridge, which was excellent as I could get fresh milk for my tea and coffee and also keep snacks and chocolate cold in the hot weather. It was greatly appreciated.
Get there at 2:30 told to come back at 3 without even checking if room was ready. Room was rank, smelly and very very old. Bathroom ok. Furniture rotten. Didn’t want to look at the very soft mattress. They tried to upgrade me for £15 and took £8 for parking. Location ok. Needs a major upgrade all round. Carpets dirty, rubbish and dirty mirrors in lift etc. just not nice at all.

Old fashioned,staff not friendly,terrible breakfast
The Cavendish is a perfectly decent hotel. I Think it has previously had a poor reputation, but various family members and i have stayed there several times over the last couple of years and have never had any complaints. It's also very good value for money, possibly because of the previous reputation. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good value stay in Eastbourne.
The room was really hot and no way of adjusting Outer windows in need of attention and bathroom grouting loose. Otherwise the room was clean and food good.

Liked: Staff & service
Property is a little dated, but obviously it was grand in it's prime. Friendly staff and very accommodating. Beautiful area and scenery. Hoe ever I don't suppose in this climate they have a spare couple of millions to get the place back to it's glorious prime and if I'm being honest I have stayed in much worse
The single room sea view i booked was infact £40 dearer and overlooked the car park. One pillow for the bed. No housekeeping. Toiletries and refreshments had to be got from reception. The one time i went into the bar the bartender seemed unbothered i was waiting to be served and whilst he was pouring my drink i saw an ant crawling over the bar. Yes its an older building but it needs what facilities it does have looked at.

Disappointment
Good room but decor and cleanliness poor. Just look at windowsills, dirty, and flaking paint.
At breakfast staff brusque, and tablecloths need wash and iron.

New problem
My grave misgivings re certain Britannia Hotel policies have been aired before - the new problem, this time around, was a "fan" blasting cold air, built into the ceiling, whose existence the maintenance (sic) staff seemed completely surprised me. (The man who visited the room didn't seem to have a clue how it worked - e.g what switches did, why there was an electrical panel in it etc).
I'm the sort of person who actually prefers "box rooms", and I've come to expect noisy neighbours in Eastbourne - but uncontrollable cold air is a "new low".
