Room and view fabulous but dining experience in the evening leaves a lot to be desired. Slow service, awful wine glasses, soup much too thick, low on choice and where I was expecting a nice piano to give background some ambiance, it was loud, in your face and man talking about music to us, just kept talking through the whole meal, not giving us a chance to speak to each other. He was talented though, but another pianist took over for a short time, and he was the perfect blend. Value for money quite poor.

Great staff and large rooms

The staff here were all friendly and welcoming. Just had the one night but enjoyed it. The rooms are well appointed and large. Lovely sea breeze through the windows. Only negative is that the carpet needs some replacement.

I wanted a hotel with a balcony that was the whole reason but was disappointed with what the balcony looked like wasnt easy it was an obstacle to get to such a high step inside the room and out needed two steps added in/out to make it easier was a total letdown also the table on balcony was dirty. Got the occasional visit from the seagull. The lift was a novelty love a part of history. Staff were friendly and helpful thankyou to one of the staff who took our photo sitting in the lift just had to get that photo lol. Had a welcome glass of wine don't often get that in a hotel. Who knows me and hubby might be back at some point maybe with the balcony step made easier I missed my early cup of tea and watching the sunrise because of the obstacle so didn't bother with the balcony almost resembles a danger hazard unfortunately Overall we had a nice time didn't have breakfast too expensive at £20pp went to a cafe round the corner .

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the downstairs area had some nice classical features as you would expect from a hotel that is over a hundred year old. We only had food once at the hotel and were disappointed, the panini was hard and dry, and the choice for lunch on the day was limited due to the airshow that was on. The bin in the downstairs ladies changing room had no bin liner and was full of ladies used feminine products. We had a dog friendly room and the carpet was badly stained and the wall had plaster coming off where the damp had set in. There was no mattress protector and some stains on the mattress and duvet. Having paid a premium due to the airshow and an additional fee for a dog friendly room we were disappointed as this is not what you would expect from a 5 star property as rated on Expedia. No one asked us if we had enjoyed our stay as I suspect that they knew it was not good value for money at over £600 including the dog fee for 2 nights room only. The owners need to spend money on the property as it does need some new carpets and the wall in room 203 needs fixing.

What a lovely hotel in a great location

We loved, loved, loved this hotel and would definitely stay again if back in Eastbourne. It was a last minute trip and quite unplanned so I booked based on others great feedback and we have to agree. Easy parking was followed by such a lovely warm welcome and quick checkin. They have a beautiful old and original lift int he hotel with metal shutters and a seat which was lovely. However what was even nicer was the fact that you are taken to your room to check you are happy with it. The staff at every contact were friendly and the place spotlessly clean. We would have been very happy had we been staying longer. Another nice touch was the offer of a complimentary glass of wine int he bar at 6pm as a welcome to the hotel. Whilst we couldnt take advantage it was touches like this that made the place feel out of the ordinary and a little more special. Everything about the hotel showed tradition and elegance. Well dont to the team working at this hotel - you are doing a great job!!!
