good pick near Hastings
Great stay as we traveled the south coast of England. Wonderfully walkable waterfront with a lot of restaurants just steps away. Very nice and helpful service at the front desk, and parking was super easy.

The hotel could do with a good cleaning. The bed is the worst I have slept on and I have used budget hotels. Requested an Iron it took an hour for one to be provided after several calls to the receptionist.

It was an incredible building and my room had a spiral staircase in it! Very old fashioned and a marvel to see. It’s quite outdated though, my cold tap didn’t work and the plughole was quite full with hair so the water didn’t drain… but that was part of the charm of it in a way. If you k own what to expect, it’s great - location, value and view!

Poached eggs!
The whole place was a bit tired and the decor and carpets needed attention. The shower door over the bath kept springing open and water leaked on the floor. Most of the staff were helpful although the breakfast service could be improved. In our first breakfast I asked for poached eggs but was told that I was too late because breakfast had nearly finished although there was 45 minutes left. On the 2nd day I was successful and had poached eggs although chef was not confident with them. They were perfectly cooked and on the next day when I asked again I was declined but when I said they were good the day before I was given them!!

Overnight stay
Room on 4th floor with a sea view. Bed was comfortable, room we would call, shabby chic, could do with another chair. Towels lovely & white. We have stayed here quite a lot over times the years & are staying again in November. There are a few parking spaces but all were gone by 4pm on a Friday. Had to park in the seafront car park at a cost of £7.50 for 24 hours. We didn’t eat in the hotel. Ate in Forte’s Italian restaurant about 10 min walk from hotel, which was very good. Would recommend hotel.

Staff were very friendly, helpful and room was clean and comfortable but heaters were very dusty. Communal areas stemmed neglected and do with some modernisation! Communal toilets were very dark. Restaurant was ok and good value for money but a more modern menu and improved ambiance would make it a more sociable experience.

Clean but needs investment
The hotel is clean, bed comfortable and any staff we met were helpful and kind. The hotel itself is tired and could do with some investment. It feels like that’s reflected in the price.

Very bad
It was one of the worst hot I have ever seen. I travelled for 2 hours but ended up 20 years old hotel furnishings. Old carpets, dirty windows, squeeky floor boards, no service. Avoid it at any cost. I don't understand why hotels.com is listing this place.
