Top Eastbourne Seafront Hotel Reviews

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful traditional hotel, full of character and history with incredible staff. Love the sea view, the indoor and outdoor pools and the full 5* service. Great food at the Garden restaurant, and excellent breakfast. There is a reason why this was my 10th stay! Only thing that slightly lets things down is the service in the evening at the bar, which (whilst being very friendly) is slow and always has been - so leave a bit of extra time for your cocktail!"

"Stayed here for 4 nights , ground floor number 4 room was spotless clean had a modern spacious room , shower was excellent I didn’t want to get out of it , modern heating u can use a remote control for which heated the room nicely , tv is a smart tv so perfect if u want to watch Netflix. my room has an electronic handle with u put in your code to get in your room and was a solid fire door . its a self checking which was perfectly fine , local tesco 1 minute walk around the corner from the hotel , a pub next door if that’s your thing , seafront right across the road, the pier 5 mins away and the town centre shops about 10 mins walk , not sure why this place has a few bad reviews but please do ignore them my room was perfect ,excellent value for money . The owner was very polite well mannered man . I can’t criticise this place one bit , if I had to make any points the hallway to the other rooms , remove the carpet it’s not In keeping with the rest of the entrance etc a lick of paint on the front building and a few hanging plants to make it presentable . This place has real potential and should be charging more if all the rooms are like mine . Thanks a lot I will be back . Five stars plus 🙂❤️"
