We had a perfect stay at the hotel. The staff vas very nice and friendly.
Booked this hotel because of the location.
The hotel was very clean staff very pleasant and helpful.
We booked breakfast, but found out afterwards that we couldn’t sit down to breakfast until 8.00sm
Which for us was a bit late!
I guess for most people on holiday, this would be fine?
Would stay here again,but in my opinion it is not a **** hotel.

Lovely old building close to shops and station about 100 metres to the prom and sea.
Friendly staff, good breakfast. The extra bed was extremely uncomfortable; they promised a thicker mattress but never provided one. No air conditioning.
Staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
Room was clean and well equipped.

The hotel is in a convenient spot, in one direction is town quite quiant and in the opposite direction is the beach.
I looking around and close by are some more beaches in different directions and I have to go exploring.
A nice peaceful quiet stay and a cute little food festival has popped up. I might some of the culinary delights the sweets looked huge, I will try one of everything and walk miles!

Ok for a short stay. Bed linen didn’t fit the bed and not particularly comfortable. Room was clean. There were a selection of toiletries if needed, tea/coffee and biscuits in room. Good location.
Absolute disaster, stained towels, broken shower, dirty room and no help from the staff. I had to go out and but a towel so i could use it for my stay. The receptionist said they didn’t have enough towels to replace the stained ones and the laundry was only twice a week.
The room was nice, the staff couldn’t be more helpful and we had a really nice couple of days

The room was spacious but dated. Everything worked but was worn. The bed was 2 bed frames stuck together with a king size mattress on top. Firm sleep - not the most comfortable.
Quiet property and the man running it was nice and helpful. It was cheap and cheerful and suited me ok, but would not take my wife. Location is great. 1 block from the beach and a short walk from the town centre. Overall happy with the visit.

A fab property in a fantastic location, beach front 2 mins walk, town centre 5 mins walk,
Thank you for a lovely weekend 🤗
Amazing value.
I can’t believe it was that cheap to be honest. Was expecting a bit of a dive but it was really pleasant. Comfy bed, good shower.
Staff were very accommodating. Had a small issue with the toilet cistern not refilling in the first room, got moved straight away to an even better room.
Can’t fault any of it. Nice little stay
We enjoyed our stay. Staff were exceptional and couldn’t be more obliging and helpful. We were even able to grab a shower before we left for the long journey home. 5 stars!
Great b&b option in Eastbourne. Roy was absolutely fantastic with the communication and the room was perfect for a weekend stay.
Close to the seafront and very quiet.
