Can’t fault helpfulness of staff. Room was simple but comfortable with sea view. Chest of drawers and coat stand. En suite toilet, wash basin and shower. Down side of hotel: No parking, scaffolding on front elevation, no lift, residential area away from town.

Pros: room looked nice and modern, everything was tidy and clean and cleaning service was great.the windows were nice and big and the view vas nice as well
Cons: the mattress in room 8 was terible, it needs replacing as could feel every spring and when siting down you just sink through it.
The room was cold in the morning and there was a weird smell in the hallway when you reach around second floor.

Great value in a good location on the sea in Eastbourne. Friendly staff, clean, and quiet. Good access to the South Downs Way as well, heading towards the Seven Sisters. Only drawback was the tiny shower, but for the price, it’s worth it.

Nice and clean room with beautiful view at the sea. Great central location.
Very friendly staff. I liked the option of self catering breakfast in the kitchen so you can eat whenever you like.
Wifi and hot water working well.
I’d stay here again!

Nice small hotel, ideal for a short break. Very close to the Seafront and easy access to the town.
The stand out for me was warm welcome at breakfast and level of service by the lady in the breakfast room.
The single room is compact but nice sea view and sound of the waves. Warm and well equipped.
I was in Eastbourne for work so didn’t spend a lot of time at the hotel but happy with my stay.

It was great for what it is. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The service was awesome. The only issue was that the toilet in our room was extremely tiny. Other than that it was wonderful.

An exceptional place to stay. Room and bed comfortable and spotless, cleaning took place every day with fresh towels and water provided. Staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Loved the breakfast layout and selection available especially the cold meats, cheese and fresh fruit which varied daily. Parking close by on surrounding streets. Ideal location for beach, theatres, art gallery and shops.

Small but perfectly formed room. Modern fittings throughout (except the carpet on the stairs). A double bed would be better than a king - barely enough room to side step around the bed. Tiny shower enclosure.
