The hotel smelled, the floor creaked in the room and you could easily hear people outside your room. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dayle 4 Aug 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great if you're in your 80's! The photos of this hotel are nothing like advertised. It was worn, cramped, dated, broken tiles in bathroom. Main light didnt work in the room, walls are paper thin so could hear the other guests. Staff weren't friendly. Very disappointed. ##### Dayle Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### William 22 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort A tired hotel ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 18 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommend! We were greeted by a very friendly, smiley receptionist who upgraded us to a sea view room at no extra charge as it was later in the day. The room was not huge, but very clean and had everything we needed. The bathroom was extremely narrow but we managed as we were only there for a couple of nights. The view made it all worthwhile. There was entertainment both nights of our stay with a great atmosphere (the coach party staying were a jolly lot). Breakfast was great, waiters friendly and efficient. Overall we had a great couple of nights stay and would definitely return. ##### Christopher Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 16 Jul 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Staff and location was ok but hotel very run down and needs full modernisation would not return ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David 18 Dec 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel? There are very many much better B&B's Just about everything that could be bad was bad. This includes absolutely everything except the breakfast and a kind and understanding woman, the morning receptionist. I had booked for four nights, I would have left the first night but arrived too late to find an alternative. Got up at 5.30 am because the bed was so uncomfortable and talked for a while with the pleasant night porter whilst sitting in the reception area, waiting for the receptionist to arrive at about 8.00 am or thereabouts. I had my breakfast which opened at 8.30 am. Then checked out of this terrible hotel and found a much better and proper alternative. ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 3 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good location and pleasant staff is about the only nice things I can say! The room was small, outdated, poorly furnished, no bedside lights...the word 'grim' springs to mind. There is something very disconcerting about using a tiny tatty bathroom and seeing previous occupants hairs on the floor...yuk! The toilet leaked, thankfully it looked like clean water but the room was so small we couldn't inspect it that closely! Also the ball clock in the cistern did not shut off fully, gallons of water being wasted. The one clock hanging on the wall stopped at 5 o'clock so long ago that the battery in the back was corroded in place. The wardrobe door hinge had dropped so much you couldn't close the door. There were no hooks to hang coats, just two mismatched dining chairs to put your bags, clothes and coats on... We booked over 6 months beforehand and specifically requested a sea view, didn't get one! When questioned, the reception staff told us that group bookings take precedence over individuals, shame we weren't advised that when we booked! On the plus side the bed was very firm, which suited us (others might struggle) and the linen was clean. We visit Eastbourne to see friends 3-4 times a year, this is most definitely a hotel we will not return to. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael 27 Nov 2018 Hotel very tired look needs urgent updating booked for bed & breakfast only had one breakfast (IT WAS AWFUL OVERY COOKED DRY as if left under the grill to long) ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### John 24 Nov 2018 Electrical noise most of first night, second ok.

We are quite easily pleased and was basically just looking for a sea view without paying the earth. We got exactly that. Woke up to a beautiful sunny morning overlooking the sea, stunning view of Eastbourne promenade! Hotel requires an overhaul and some love and attention, but for £56 a night, you get what you pay for. ##### Denise Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ashley 24 Sept 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Difficult to enter room but staff were happy to help, room is ok but had some damp spots. Breakfast was ok though ##### Ashley Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 16 Sept 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### It stinks like a pee! Horrible experience. The lift was too small we can’t even fit ourselves with 1 luggage and 1 backpack inside. The room stinks as soon as we enter. Damps all over the wall, bulging ceiling, chipped cabinet, broken window, dirty toilets. It stunk like a pee. Almost like a care home smell. It is probably a retirement place for old people as we saw a lot of oldies coming in and out and sitting and chatting. We don’t have problems with the elderly, our problem is the room they provided us. The guy offered another room but it was worse than the first one. So we left and looked for another hotel. Unfortunately by that time, nothing was available for us. We drive to Swansea, Portsmouth hoping we find a place to stay. But the same way, all room is fully booked in every hotel we tried to stay. We ended up driving home to Leeds up to 5:30 am. We survived by hopping to one lay-by to services so we can rest and sleep in our car. It truly ruined our holiday. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dominic 27 Aug 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointing It's very worn out and very tatty everywhere. Nothing worked in the room. Thread bare carpets everywhere. You could sat you get what you pay for but it wasn't super cheap.. Will not go back again. Breakfast cold ##### Dominic Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Dee 16 Aug 2018 Hotel was ok area was good ##### Dee Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Trond, Oslo 13 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness #### Veldig engelsk standard Et helt ok sted, sentralt i Eastbourne. Hotellet trenger en oppgradering på det meste, men veldig typisk britisk standard. Manglet trådløst i 4 etg, et minus. Bra frokost og baren er godkjent. God seng. Fikk ikke påfyll av shampo.

The hotel staff were very accommodating and the owner is very friendly. ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 27 Jul 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### bobs getaway Food good,friendly staff,area just right. ##### Robert Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Damian, Edgbaston 16 Jul 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice staff - poor quality run down facilities. I was phoned the morning and moved to an amnexe/sister building . The room was beyond basic - the beds old and mattress needed changing . the building was heaving with loud noisy exchange students who chatted and giggled on the corridors running in and out of each other’s rooms - if I had been 14 I may have be more positive about that . The toilet dripped loudly - ther wall paper was coming away slightly in a couple of spots and there were stains on the bathroom cieling . There were cobweb s on the open bathroom window . If it had not been late I would have driven home. However - the staff were lovely - the woman on reception was a refreshingly direct and helpful lady and the breakfast staff were delightful the chaps could not have been more pleasant or helpful - breakfast was ok the bacon was ok and eggs the sausages were a very poor relation to any I have ever eaten. It was alll very school exchange appropriate . Whoever appoints and trains staff does a great job - whoever decides return decor and standards needs objective support - I have taken photographs to document the experience. ##### Damian Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deb, Kent, UK 2 Jul 2018 #### Hotel right on seafront and close to everything We had a 1 night stay, for the cost it was fine, the hotel is very tired and in need of a refurbishment. The bed was very comfortable with lovely crisp white sheets. The shower was powerful and hot. Breakfast was of a good standard for the price. Would stay again for a cheap night away as it was close to everything. ##### Deb Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Great location for the tennnis The hotel is definitely in need of updating, but our room was clean, comfortable and well-equipped (having a fridge was a bonus). The breakfast buffet was great and the staff in the dining room and reception were very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately the WIFI didn't extend as far as our room, but was available in the lobby. The location was great - right on the seafront and only 5 minutes walk from the tennis at Devonshire Park. Nearby Carlisle Road has shops and takeaways, and it's also not far into the town centre. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Norfolk Royale Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-The-Norfolk-Royale-Hotel.h47418.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Dilly.h21538.Hotel-Information) > > [Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eastbourne-Hotels-Hydro-Hotel.h4571661.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Birmingham.h789053.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluewaters Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Bedford-Hotel.h34040292.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest of Arden Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birmingham-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Forest-Of-Arden-Country-Club.h28506.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London Tower Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-Tower-Bridge.h4190769.Hotel-Information) > > [The Midland - Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-The-Midland-Manchester.h10959.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Manchester Piccadilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Leonardo-Hotel-Manchester-Piccadilly.h72998541.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grand Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-The-Grand-Brighton.h6969.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Shard, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Shard.h8035714.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre London Heathrow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Conference-Centre-London.h48444523.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal London St Paul’s](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-St-Pauls.h1457972.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Tower Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Libertys-On-The-Square.h57917226.Hotel-Information) > > [Corinthia London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Corinthia-London.h3849185.Hotel-Information) > > [NYX Hotel London Holborn by Leonardo Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-NYX-Hotel-London-Holborn-By-Leonardo-Hotels.h579374.Hotel-Information) > > [Yotel London City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-YOTEL-Clerkenwell.h48296903.Hotel-Information) > > [art'otel London Battersea Power Station powered by Radisson Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-ArtOtel-London-Battersea-Power-Station.h83011268.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cumberland, London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Cumberland.h21659.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Brighton-Waterfront.h21983.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Brighton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brighton-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Brighton.h1768380.Hotel-Information) > > [The Halcyon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eastbourne-Hotels-The-Halcyon.h69561569.Hotel-Information) > > [Aerotel London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2-3](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Aerotel-London-Heathrow-T2-T3.h21528024.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cherry Tree Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eastbourne-Hotels-The-Cherry-Tree-Guest-House.h1381371.Hotel-Information) > > [Kent House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eastbourne-Hotels-Kent-House.h42238942.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Manchester-City-Centre.h205304.Hotel-Information) ---
