lovely clean room and helpful staff . Worth noting that there is currently scaffolding on the front of the hotel - it was not good value to pay the extra for a seaview room only to look at scaffolding !

This property desperately needs a refurbishment! Paintwork is awful. Surface cleaning is ok but it needs a deep clean. Such a small shower. Its just an attachment shower and very difficult to use effectively. The carpet had cigarette burns on it which shows how old it is. Avoid!!

This hotel is in an excellent position yards from the beach & very close to the centre of St Leonards. The breakfast is excellent value for money with a wide selection of hot & cold options. I would have expected to find an ironing board & iron in the room.
