Everything was great , even got a free upgrade from single to double room , only downside was a noise i think from a boiler or water system every 30 seconds or so that made sleeping more difficult , maybe i got an unlucky room

Nice hotel

The hotel is large and well presented. The rooms themselves were medium sized and had a shared balcony area above the first floor, and as I have been to Eastbourne countless times at many hotels I would put this definitely in the upper ranks compared to all others. The man on reception was very friendly and funny. The only downside was that due to being immediately on the seafront, you have no choice but to listen to whatever is playing on the bandstand, which wasn’t great for my mother who wanted an early night.

Great team of staff ; always helpful and chatty what makes for good customer service , the manager is also hands-on and visible ,interacting with guests which is a good sign ; fantastic single room with sea view and looking straight down on the bandstand ( free concerts).

Spacious clean room. Bathroom could do with updating. Good location on sea front by the bandstand. 5 mins to town and 10 mins to station. A drinks fridge in the room would be nice.
