A lot of hotels in Eastbourne were built in 19th century or Victorian times & are listed buildings so are unable to be made ultra modern.
The hotel has an attractive entrance leading to the Reception in the welcoming lounge area. Check-in was swift/easy with friendly helpful staff. Room a standard twin on 3rd floor - not sure what the view was, just a building & some cars. It was clean/tidy with white crisp linen & towels. Tea/coffee milk & kettle. Hairdryer - useful desk fan. Just soap & shower gel supplied. Ceiling light was bright plus 2 wall lights. Wall tv with selection of channels. Wardrobe with a good supply of coat hangers. Dressing table with drawers and a bedside table with more drawers. A couple of negs..bed mattress was too firm for me and could only find 2 plug sockets - above the dressing table, so a bit of a juggle between kettle, fan and telephone charging :) Plus I was expecting a floor shower as per pics on booking site but we had a shower over the bath. Luckily not a problem - shower pressure was good, plenty of hot water over the 2 days we were there. We’d added English breakfast (if you book at hotel it’s £9.95pp - 8.30am to 9.30am) & waitress service. If you want egg bacon & tomato - make sure you state how many of each, otherwise it’ll be just one of each item.
A pleasant surprise was the singer/guitarist playing in the ballroom on Fri eve.
We loved coming back for a nighttime tipple which were good prices. All staff were welcoming & friendly.
