Liked: Staff & service
Room was much smaller in size. No specific amenities, lobby area appeared to be outdated. Building work going on site during our stay. Felt not good value for money
We have been frequent visitors to Hydro Hotel including our wedding reception and have always received an excellent, friendly and efficient service. Not hesitating to recommend the Hydro to others.
Beautiful dual aspect spacious room, very pleasant courteous staff always happy to help. One of the only hotels with its own parking in Eastbourne. Easy to walk up to beachyhead, seafront or hop on a bus .
