I only stayed one night as I was seeing OMD at Winter Gardens. It’s a lovely big hotel, old but nicely decorated and maintained. I had a single room with a sea view. Hotel entrance is very nice with big high ceilings, would have stayed longer but had to get back to work.

First class hotel. The check in was quick as was check out. The room and bathroom was spotless, very comfortable beds and a nice selection of toiletries in the bathroom. The food at breakfast and dinner were delicious and served on hot plates. There was plenty of choice, something for everyone. We had lunch in the lounge area and again, the food was excellent. All the staff were very friendly and helpful!

Lovely hotel with stunning views
Our first visit to this hotel, but hopefully not our last! The hotel oozes old-time elegance and service. We had a sea view room, and had a stunning view of the sunrise each morning. We were travelling with our dog, so were unable to visit the restaurant, but were able to order from the restaurant menu to be delivered to our room, for both dinner and breakfast. The bed was so comfortable! With the exception of the lady who checked us in (who rushed and was very abrupt), the staff were warm and friendly, and very helpful. The bathroom was very tight for size, but not a lot that can be done about that. Parking was easy on the road outside the front door, so we didn't investigate the car park. I would stay here again without hesitation when in Eastbourne!

This was like stepping back in time and I loved it. My daughter in law and I shared a twin room with a sea view and were very happy with the selection of hot drinks, biscuits and water provided everyday - and we had a ‘fridge! Breakfast was served on tables set with white tablecloths, the staff were lovely, the lift quirky - and I need another stay soon. There is a small carpark for the hotel at the rear but not a pleasant walk in the dark in the rain, however roadside parking is usually available, but might prove a little difficult in the summer months!

A large Victorian hotel. Bedroom decor was modern and fresh. Breakfast was good but service was a bit slower than we would have liked. We did not use the restaurant otherwise on this occasion. A gym would be a good addition to facilities.

If you are looking for an elegant, refined stay this is the place for you. My room was comfortable with a lovely sea view. The lounges and public area of the hotel are elegant and the perfect place to have tea or watch the world go by. The garden is lovely and the secluded outdoor pool a delight.

The downstairs of the hotel was pleasant and comfortable. However, our side seaview bedroom was small and extremely tired. It badly needed updating and a general facelift. The bathroom was even more tired with paint chipping on the bottom of the door and the whole suite needs replacing. The furnishings were cheap and tacky, eg 2 vinyl chairs. Also, the bare basics were provided in the bathroom, no shower hats even, let alone bathrobes. It is a nuisance to have to bring our own. The bed was small for a hotel these days, certainly not queen size, small double at best, mattress was good though. Staff were ok but seemed not all that well trained. We only had sandwiches in the evening so can't comment on the food in general. Breakfast was adequate. We are quite surprised that there seem to be a number of positive reviews, but it is possible that some of the rooms have been upgraded. The room was stuffy, no air con, fan provided in the wardrobe. The car park is very small and hotel guests are not able to reserve a space. That was stressful on arrival and reception staff were unhelpful and uncaring. We had to park on the street but were able to find a space in the car park after an hour or so when lunchtime patrons left. The main negative aspect to our stay, however, was the poor condition of the room and bathroom. Also, basic amenities such as shower caps really should be provided.

Absolutely stunning, travelled with a dog and offered room service for breakfast. Superb customer service, stunning location, sea views, beautiful grounds. Super beds and room. The whole hotel oozes of care and attention to detail. Congratulations to all those who run it and make it such a superb place to stay in we will be back. Can't rate it highly enough I'd even go as far as to say the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Beautiful, charismatic and a nod to days of old, courtesy, kindness and care.
