Great hotel

Great hotel, loved the staff in the restaurant (breakfast & dinner). Great location too, on the beach and, importantly for us, right next to the railway station. Our only suggestion is that the reception staff would do well to be warmer and more accommodating.

Road Trip

This is a lovely hotel right in the beach. Our room was small and cosy and all we needed. Having requested a twin. Staff are really friendly. The general areas are bright and open. Very welcoming. I'm writing this as I wait to go for breakfast. But our dinner last night was spot on, and delicious 😋. I'll come again.

Mixed review

We stayed for one night, 2nd to 3rd August, room 121. Although a standard room, cost was over £200. The room was very small, it was also very warm with a cooler but no air conditioning, this made it difficult to get a decent nights sleep. In addition to the above, the bathroom was exceptionally small, it was not possible to pass each other in that space. Positives, the staff were friendly and courteous, the breakfast very good with a wide choice, car parking was plentiful and free, and the location and view exceptional. Would we stay again? yes, but not in room 121 or a room without AC.

High quality fittings and fixtures in bed and spacious bathroom. Lovely shower with clearly marked toiletries. Nice little extras (e.g. a fan and clothes brush). Neat tea/coffee making area. Double aspect in both bed and bathroom (that’s a first!). The staff and receptionist are cheerful, helpful and friendly and the location of the hotel on the beach with its gorgeous terrace is perfect. Breakfast: Eggs Benedict cooked perfectly, lovely pastries and fresh bed - plus plus. Next job is to find out how much the rooms with the balconies overlooking the sea are…. All 5 star, no minuses. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The property for me was tidy and the staff friendly, and the breakfast was good, however in the hotel needs to have greater attention to detail. The bathroom extractor was very noisy and unfortunately the sensor activated continuously despite no one passing it all night long. This affected my sleep, in addition the shower although looking new had mould and missing grout making it look dirty. My room was 110 and for the money was also little small.

we enjoyed our 2night stay , room 116 is the best stramnge as they only have 41 rooms, as recomended by Tyler ( A future manager ) who was on reception ,plus he was realy helpful on letting us know what was happening in the hotel and surrounding areas eg Bexhill etc. Not a massive hotel ,but due to really hot weather we made full use of the terrace and private garden area. One complaint !! the shower tray is very slippery when wet.A non slip tray would be safer. Otherwise EXCELLANT two night stay.

We had a two-night stay. I thought the half-board option was very good value, and the food was well cooked and presented. But the stand out feature was how well the staff have been trained. They really made the trip - polite and engaged and followed up on everything really quickly. I was very impressed with them.
