I stayed overnight with my son as we love The Hydro. We had dinner in The Crystal Restaurant which was very nice but I think I should have chosen something different as my steak was a bit thin and fatty. The rest of the meal was nice and perhaps I was just unlucky with the steak. My son had the rump steak (rare) and he said it was delicious. The beds were very comfortable and the views from our room were lovely. Breakfast was very good and staff very attentive. Hope to come back soon and will definitely choose a front sea view room, as it is well worth the extra money. I would just add though that the shower pressure in our room was not brilliant so the bath was probably the best option in that particular room. I think there are other rooms though that have stand alone showers and which are probably a bit more effective. Wouldn’t put me off coming again though as the ambience and general feel of the hotel is lovely.
Good hotel with professional standards throughout. Old fashioned menus but good quality

Room very small, nearly no Seaside view. 2 singles beds were comfortable.
Breakfast poor. Yogurt and some other items were finished at 9.00 and not supplemented
Grand old hotel - with great service, good room and decent breakfast. Only let itself down due to very noisy wedding party on Sunday night, with screaming kids outside on the croquet lawn. Oh and outdoor heated swimming pool although only small is a nice bonus.
My ensuite room 217, was located opposite the communal stairs and lift. In addition, my room was near a dog that barks a lot. I should have requested a quieter room.
Our 6th time at this hotel. We love it for a night away plus Dinner in the Crystal Restaurant as the food & service is also very good. Superb breakfast served, lots of choice.
Beautiful room, spotlessly clean. Great location, easy walk into Eastbourne. Fabulous breakfast, continental and cooked breakfast freshly made to order.
