The Cavendish is definitely faded glory. The rooms seem large but not really airy, the place feels like it could do with a good blow through of fresh air. Room was clean & tidy, tea area sticky and one spoon hadn't been cleaned. Plenty of hot water & a few overnight soap and shampoo ditties. A clean face and bath towel.. Pillows are full and a bit overfluffed bed is a bit too firm but comfy. The lift worked! Plenty of parking but there is an extra cost (£7 per 24hr) - make sure you book breakfast the night before (£10 - all you can eat buffet of hot and cold food) actually no worse than a premier inn.. Staff generally fine - be nice & that's what you get back although the older male waiter was quite stern, no smile, just-a-job type and better avoided... Please retrain him, he could 'make' breakfast much more enjoyable.. Breakfast room was very airy and when sunny is gorgeous with the huge windows open with fine full sea views. Don't expect daily housekeeping, there isn't any 😂... I would stay again for economy only. But I did hear from others that other accommodation locally was little better or plain dire.. So I'd have a good check of the latest reviews. Thank you.

Exceptional

Exceptionally wonderful. The staff especially Ozoe was amazing. She ensured that my stay was so so comfortable and also the two ladies at reception were extremely friendly and helpful. This has become our hotel of choice every time we visit Eastbourne and which is very often. Not only are the price and rooms exceptional with awesome views but the hospitality and dedication of the staff is what draws Dr Pilcher and I to the Cavendish Hotel. I would recommend this hotel anytime. Thanks guys for a great stay as always

It was a really good experience. The room was big, with a sofa and armchairs, a small table, and a huge window with a side view of the pier and the sea. A good bathroom too.
