The Cavendish is definitely faded glory. The rooms seem large but not really airy, the place feels like it could do with a good blow through of fresh air. Room was clean & tidy, tea area sticky and one spoon hadn't been cleaned. Plenty of hot water & a few overnight soap and shampoo ditties. A clean face and bath towel.. Pillows are full and a bit overfluffed bed is a bit too firm but comfy. The lift worked! Plenty of parking but there is an extra cost (£7 per 24hr) - make sure you book breakfast the night before (£10 - all you can eat buffet of hot and cold food) actually no worse than a premier inn.. Staff generally fine - be nice & that's what you get back although the older male waiter was quite stern, no smile, just-a-job type and better avoided... Please retrain him, he could 'make' breakfast much more enjoyable.. Breakfast room was very airy and when sunny is gorgeous with the huge windows open with fine full sea views. Don't expect daily housekeeping, there isn't any 😂... I would stay again for economy only. But I did hear from others that other accommodation locally was little better or plain dire.. So I'd have a good check of the latest reviews. Thank you.

Exceptional

Exceptionally wonderful. The staff especially Ozoe was amazing. She ensured that my stay was so so comfortable and also the two ladies at reception were extremely friendly and helpful. This has become our hotel of choice every time we visit Eastbourne and which is very often. Not only are the price and rooms exceptional with awesome views but the hospitality and dedication of the staff is what draws Dr Pilcher and I to the Cavendish Hotel. I would recommend this hotel anytime. Thanks guys for a great stay as always

So i dont have very high expectations and happy to just have somewhere as a base to see friends in the local area. The reception and hallways were very well kept and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We got into the room (222) and was met by massive cracks in the ceiling, peeling wallpaper and very tired furniture. Bed was comfortable however we stumbled accross what could only be described as a used wax strip in the main room. We had a seaview however the windows were not that clear (Dirty) so shouldnt have bothered paying the extra. Were not ones to complain and have the attitude of 'It is what it is'. I just know based on that single experience we're not likley to rebook. Not sure if we were just unlucky but if other rooms are of the same state i feel a lot of maintenance and decorating is required to get the rooms upto an acceptable level.
