It was a reasonable price. Because it was warm I had the window open and could hear people screaming and shouting for hours. The hotel felt tired and dated.

Well priced for a seafront hotel but generally it is very tired. The original double room I was offered had 2 single beds pushed together with 2 single duvets & was a small very basic room. I enquired about a double bed & duvet & was kindly upgraded to a larger room with a double bed. Still tired but spacious.

Awesome Staff!

Really nice hotel, excellently situated opposite the beach, with the sound of the waves sending me to sleep. The best bit was the staff. They were very helpful and supportive of my needs.

Good place to stay

Seafront , literally just cross the rd to swim. Good sized , clean , modern (this is unusual for many of the seafront hotels) single rooms. Like all Eastbourne hotels fronting the beach , the seaview is taxed by unavoidable traffic noise NB The Riviera also has a busy road to the rear. Lovely staff. Good wifi £2.35 voucher for street parking 8am to 11am next day.

Nice clean hotel

The hotel was clean for its age. We had a sea facing room, and there was a lot of road noise so it was difficult to sleep. The rooms that are not facing the road may be quieter.

Right on the seafront.

The hotel is in a good location on the front. The room we had was at the back and was very hot. Even with the window open. It was also very noisy due the road at the back. The staff are lovely.

I often stay at this hotel for overnight stop or short stay in Eastbourne. It is clean, secure and easy to to get to on foot from the central town area. Location is ideal for an evening stroll ore early morning walk along the promenade. I can't comment on car parking as I always use public transport to/from and around Eestbourne.

Lovely hotel on the seafront

A perfect location, directly on the seafront and walkable to the town and theatre. An old hotel, but our room was recently decorated and clean. We parked in the NCP about a 10 min walk from the hotel, but there were options to park along the seafront.
