The landlady was really inviting and everything was fine except that I didn't put that I struggle with stairs! There aren't any rooms on the ground floor. My fault for not selecting the option on your search. The hotel next door was boarded up, so this gave a bad impression of the area.

Lovely
Small room but had everything I needed for a short stay: comfy bed, powerful shower, smart TV, mini fridge etc. Hotel located right on the seafront which is ideal - if I was staying longer I would have paid extra for a sea view room. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that. Only downside of the hotel is that you can't check in till 4pm but this is only a minor issue. Overall a lovely stay and I would return :)

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Avoid this place!! Broken bed with dirty sheets, uneven floor so those with vertigo or mobility problems will find this challenging, bedding and towels damp & covered in make up so clearly hadn’t been changed from previous guest, pubic hair in the sink, shower never been cleaned blocked plug hole so water ran out and down the slope to the carpet. Also covered in rust and mould in the shower. No hot water. Greasy smears over the windows and questionable marks over the headboard. Stuffy. Smelly. Unable to open windows. Run down. I’ve stayed in cleaner and better quality hostels for less! The positive reviews I suspect were probably fake! Really disappointed. Couldn’t get out of there fast enough.

Room quite small but very clean and tidy. Seaview lovely. Was good to have a fridge as weather scorching and needed plenty of cold drinks. Stairs were a bit of a killer going up. Traffic noisy with windows open. Close to everything. Parking just opposite and pretty reasonable value.

Lots to like
We liked Alexander's and would stay again. A warm welcome to a good seafront location was reinforced by a clean and comfortable (if small) room. The seaview is worth paying a little extra for - it's also on the sunny side of the building, although there is some road noise too. We didn't need parking or breakfast so can't comment on those. One thing to note about rooms with balconies is that some of these are extend across neighbouring rooms, so beware what you might share!

Only had 1 night here but was very comfortable and very clean. Couldn’t stay for breakfast as was continuing a journey and the seafront parking was free until 9 am so had to get away. Would recommend the guest house without a doubt.

Peaceful and scenic
My room was exactly as in the photos. Clean, comfy bed, and just the right amount of heating. Loved the sea view in my room, and the breakfast I received was perfect. My room unfortunately suffered from an unexpected leak from the ceiling and the manager (?) was extremely helpful and kind and sorted everything out right away. If I come for another visit to Hastings I would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to the staff :)

A great break away
The hotel was in a good central position. The only downside was no free parking but that is to be expected in a seaside town. As it was on the front it was quite noisy with traffic but the views over the sea did compensate for this.
