For a fairly budget hotel I cannot fault my stay. Room cleaned daily and kept clean to good standard. Shower head being very small with little water flow my only low rating. Hotel is not modernised but old wardrobes in room adds to charm. I would definitely stay again when down for stay with work

Broken bed!

My sis sat on her bed and it completely broke and she had to sleep on the floor as there was no one to see about it. I’m just hoping they get back to me to offer some sort of compensation

The only thing which held me back for giving a 5 star excellent was the lack of WiFi in the rooms. Once this is sorted, it'll be my #1 go to in Eastbourne!

The reviews are mixed of this hotel, and unfortunately we stayed in the not so good part so fall within a bad review category. The hotel has sash windows, so as you can imagine they aren’t soundproof. The window was closed but the noise was the same as if it were open. We could hear everything. Doesn’t make for a restful nights sleep when you’ve driven far and explored around. The upside, it was in a great location literally opposite the pier and a short walk into the great shopping and eateries of Eastbourne town centre. The room was clean, albeit smelling musty. The hotel had a little bar area, pool table, plenty of seating. Parking is street parking in specific zones, and the hotel gives you a permit for a small fee, but it’s not guaranteed outside the hotel. There is a lift in the property, but the corridors are quite narrow, and there are steps up to the hotel, only a few but, still. All in all, it was ok, but I wouldn’t book again. It was just too noisy! I understand there are many more hotels in the area, and the upkeep or modifications of each hotel would cost a fortune, but i’d expect to have some level of soundproofing, at least. Yes, it was cheap, but still enough money to pay, in this day and age. If you can sleep anywhere with loads of noise, then this place will be fine for you.

Not B&B as requested or what they advertise in the rooms but the very basic requirements for a nights stay. Room was v hot even with window wide open all night. Not somewhere I could stay for more than 1 night.

Your average B&B

A standard no-frills B&B. Staff were polite enough. The room was average but the bed was quite comfy. Quite expensive for what it was. Parking is an absolute nightmare anywhere near the hotel.

It’s ok but not anything special

So not terrible but not amazing either. Room quite small and previous occupants 1/2 used shower gel bottle was left in the shower for me. Bring your own pillow, the singular pillow was as deep as an iPhone. Toilet filled at such a slow drip it was not conducive to sleep Main room area was clean and tidy.
Thin pillow
