This hotel is in a great location for the beach and the Towner gallery (1 min walk!) The staff were so friendly and helpful. We found it a really cost effective option for a quick and easy one night stay in Eastbourne.

A lovely stay
A lovely hotel in a very good position. There's been quite a bit of renovation which is continuing. The staff were amazing, so helpful & polite. The room was huge. Hoping to go back later in the year tho I will take my own pillow as theirs were very uncomfortable.

The staff were one of the most welcoming we've ever experienced in a hotel.Leanne was a gem & couldn't offer enough help.Ashley was a very helpful & chirpy Duty Mgr.Louis was a Mgr who turned his hand to anything that needed to be done in the hotel & really cared about staff & guests.Our room very clean & the bed extremely comfortable.We were given a sea view on the side of the hotel.Some suggestions that I discussed with hotel staff were:need for bedside lights & more than 2 plug sockets.Internet connection in room was very sketchy but strong in reception.Self-service continental breakfast was more than adequate.Choice of cereals,fruits,yoghurt,freshly warmed pastries,toast & spreads.Wide choice of coffees from a machine & a choice of teas.Plenty of seating available.There is an elevator. Considering we stayed during a busy Bank Holiday weekend,we still managed to find a parking space every day.Street parking outside the hotel is free 6pm to 8am.The hotel provided parking vouchers for 3 hours parking at a cost of £2.20 per 3 hours outside of these times (subject to number of tickets allocated to the hotel by the council).Unfortunately,the council had not provided enough vouchers to cover the holiday weekend.Although not their fault,the hotel was very apologetic.If vouchers are unavailable,parking is payable via a phone app at a higher cost,although cheaper than areas closer to the pier/town(about 10-15 min walk).Free road parking is available in streets away from seafront.

No-frills, decent price
We had a pleasant stay. The hotel is near the seafront and pier and close to the bus route and train station. The staff were very friendly and happy to help— especially Leanne. The room was clean and functional. A minor thing: the door wasn’t sealed top to bottom meaning we had some light and sound from the corridor. I had earplugs so it wasn’t a big bother, but it might bother you if you’re a very light sleeper. The breakfast was fine, toast and spreads, cereals, yoghurt etc. considering everything, it was a decently-priced no-frills stay!

We stayed here as a family and had a family suite. Room was very large and clean. Our bathroom had no extractor fan and being a basement level room had no windows. This made the condensation bad and smell of damp linger. Nice to have a powerful hot shower though. Generally the hotel showing some signs of wear and tear but overall a happy stay from us.

We had no hot water in our room. Property is in need of some updates. You’re better off getting breakfast somewhere else.

Disappointment
First visit in a long while. Hotel's alleged "refit" clearly didn't extend to elevator or reception area. PLUSES - The room was terrific - I was quite taken aback by how big, comfortable and well-equipped it was. (Bathroom impressive too - at first). MINUSES - Shower in need of descaling: water flow impeded and misdirected. Another problem - breakfast. No small plates, no milk for cereal - unless requested! And despite the asking price, cooked breakfasts were not provided. (An e-mail message, which I'd overlooked, indicated that all this was "as per safety guideline" - implying the so-called "covid restrictions" were still in place in 2024?)

Once was enough
The hotel was care worn and rather shabby, the view was fine and it was possible to see the sea but the window wouldn't quite shut properly and thus the room was cold, the bed was lumpy and the room was very low grade

only the name of the hotel is nice. cold rooms, dirty carpet, stewed sink, you have to ask them to turn on the heating, they answer that someone said it was hot. I do not recommend this hotel. I give -3 stars.
