Lovely room, nice and clean and quiet only grumble was that the tv didn’t work as they still use normal tv and not cable but that didn’t matter much as it ment that we slept.

We loved everything about the hotel apart from the sunken manhole in the middle of the main road which was right outside our balcony!!
Every time someone drives over it the noise is really loud !! We did raise a complaint with the council so hopefully they fix it soon because we wouldn’t book to come again unless it’s fixed !!

We had a sea view room with balcony which was a reasonable size - not as large as we had assumed from descriptions for a superior room. Sea views were lovely and did sit in the balcony with drinks however just outside the hotel is a manhole in the road that everytime a vehicle drive over it made a real clatter which we could hear even with the balcony door closed not the hotels fault hope the council get it sorted as it was very annoying.

I used it for a one night stay for a gig in The Winter Gardens and it was only a 200 yard walk

The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. I was at the hotel for just one night so did not use any of the many facilities available.
I enjoyed my brief stay and would certainly stay at the View again if I had to come to Eastbourne.

I used to stay at the Grand when visiting Eastbourne. The View I’d more convenient, a lot cheaper, has direct sea views and is closer to the Town centre.

Modernised, but still retaining some of its original 1970s features and feel of quality. No Jack Jones and no mural to the workers.

Fantastic hotel close to the Wish Tower and a 7 minute walk to the pier. Right in the beach front. My executive room had 2 balconies with incredible views. Restaurants were excellent. The Vista is open all day with an extensive menu. The breakfast buffet is extensive and very well prepared. The room was very clean, huge comfortable king bed and a v large modern bathroom with a powerful walk-in shower unit as well as a traditional bath with shower attachment

I love staying at The View. I opted for the balcony single room and once again had room 314 which I love. It has a great view towards the pier from the wraparound balcony.y friend had room 312 and that has a more expansive view but both are great rooms. The rooms are warm with lovely comfy beds. I love the full length windows which give you great views from the bed. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and I particularly enjoy the yoghurt, berry compote and chunky muesli. We enjoyed drinks in the vista bar too. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The two small problems our party reported were both fixed the same day.

I love this hotel. I've been numerous times since I discovered it four years ago. I had a premium single room and had a fantastic side view room. The rooms are always great but it's especially nice to have the great sea views that cone with a balcony room. It's a real wow coming into these rooms for the first time. Even with the bad weather we had it's still a fantastic treat to have such great views and great size balcony. We enjoyed cocktails in the bar and the tasty buffet breakfast. The hotel was decorated for Christmas and it was beautiful in the public areas. Parking is easy and £2 a day and it's very close to the theatres and local restaurants. It's an easy flat walk into the centre if the town and you can enjoy walks along the promenade in both directions.a perfect hotel for your stay, whatever the weather! Everyone I've introduced to the hotel love it.

Comfortable hotel in good location. Sadly there was a note on reception when we arrived telling us that due to a private function there would be loud music till midnight. No help having a note when you need to go to bed early and get up at 5:30am for a sports event then recover the next day. They were recommended by the organisers but I will suggest they reconsider this. Of course had they said in advance I would not have booked which is why they didn’t. Also the advertised parking was on the street - fine but worth knowing. Room was clean and comfortable although cold as the air conditioning/ heating seemed ineffective.
