would stay again - great breakfast, friendly host

Tracy was very friendly and helpful. It was nice of her to honour our booking even though the website should not have allowed us to book for only a single night. The breakfast was excellent. The rooms look much nicer in person than in the photos. Very happy with our experience - would stay again

Old Town Love

The Old Town Guess House is a Fabulous place to stay. As the name suggests its in Hastings Old Town. We had a sea view ensuite room on the top floor which was absolutely lovely. Tracey the owner is a true star and cooks up a fantastic English breakfast with home mage rosti which is to die for... Will stay again and highly recommend. Not for those that cant do stairs though!

Lovely

Tracey is a lovely host very friendly and readily available if needed. Our room was small but comfy, with a fan. Everything was clean and homely. Breakfast was lovely . Had a fantastic view of cable car from our bathroom. Would defiantly stay again but the stairs were too challenging. But would highly recommend.

Brilliant B&B in The Old Town

Very impressed with pre-arrival information supplied by Owner/Host, Tracey. We stayed in Room 7, which has amazing views of the Beach & Funfair. Note, approx 56 steps up to the 3rd floor, so not suitable if you have mobile issues. As it isn't directly on the busy main road, traffic noise was minimal. Situated on the corner of George Street and Old Town, ideal for restaurants and pubs. Breakfasts were brilliant and Tracey made us feel very welcome. The pay per stay carparks (£9 for 24hrs) are about 7 minutes walk away, but get there early to ensure of a space. Would definitely stay again if we're in the area, recommended.

Tracey is tops!

The weather could have been kinder, but we know Hastings well and good places to go for shelter when needed. We stayed at 'The Old Town Guest House; and apart from the stair climbing, you would find it hard to beat. 'Tracey' could not have been more helpful and the served breakfast was delicious. Our room was spotless with an en suite bathroom and shower. Thank you Tracey for making our little break, so nice.
