The room had a fun, quirky vibe, and it was clean and cozy. Besides being a building with loads of interesting history, it's located right at the beachfront with easy access to the rest of the city by foot or by bus. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was top-notch.

Located on the Eastbourne beachfront, this is the perfect location for a visit to this elegant resort town. Having worked for BP for over 20 years and on numerous business trips to the UK, as well as four personal trips with my family, I've stayed at many five-star chain hotels. Not only is it clean and convenient, exceeding my expectations, but it's also a great value for money. The friendly service of the reception staff is particularly noteworthy, and I'm deeply sorry I missed the meals and drinks due to my busy schedule. Next time I visit the UK, I'll definitely return and stay for a few days.

Breakfast was fast, substantial and tasty- particularly the bacon! The location was fabulous. Lots of wonderful walks available in such an historic old village. Easy access into Eastboure via a close-by bus and close enough to Polgate station for access to the airport, London and other places. Perfect!

While the interior appears a little dated and tired when you first enter, the furnishing is actually very tasteful and makes you feel at home fairly quickly. It is somewhat the nature of places in Eastbourne, given they do tend to cater to an older demographic from what I can see. Room had a good view of the sea. Cooked breakfast in morning was high quality. Staff were all lovely, from reception desk to bar staff to waiters at breakfast. Definitely a good place to stay in Eastbourne, not too far from the main coastal strip.

An excellent hôtel in every way. A modern looking building on the seafront in a prime location. Welcoming staff on arrival. I had a super little single room with a seaview and a huge balcony. The room is very well equipped. The breakfast choice is excellent and it is a lovely room overlooking the sea. I will definitely be returning.

Fun place to be great restaurants likecmalayalam and the beacon has a roast dinner at shades in the restaurant. It’s a friendly place with a beach that you can sometimes if lucky find seaglass on. I love the promenade and historical old hotels. The piers always fun with the starlings flying around and I just love the place! Hope you will too! I love walking up the hill with the wackiest place for a football pitch and friendly coffee shops by the Italian gardens and opposite the hill. So many hidden treasures in charity shops and just great food Toby carvery at Christmas for delivery was handy. Local pizzeria was very good too we had cheese pineapple olives at puzza2nite reasonable price.

Lewes is very good as a place to stay if you are interested in history or just like browsing local shops. It also has excellent railway connections so you can get to Brighton, Hastings, Eastbourne and up into Sussex by public transport. It is hilly and a good base if you want to explore the South Downs by walking. A good range of restaurants, pubs and cafes too.

This was coupled with a trip to the De La Warr Pavilion and Hastings out of season. St Leonards has some interesting new cafes & independent shops popping up along Kings Rd near the station - possibly not enough for a sole destination in its own right but the location was handy & you can actually park in parts of St Leonards.
