The reviews are mixed of this hotel, and unfortunately we stayed in the not so good part so fall within a bad review category. The hotel has sash windows, so as you can imagine they aren’t soundproof. The window was closed but the noise was the same as if it were open. We could hear everything. Doesn’t make for a restful nights sleep when you’ve driven far and explored around. The upside, it was in a great location literally opposite the pier and a short walk into the great shopping and eateries of Eastbourne town centre. The room was clean, albeit smelling musty. The hotel had a little bar area, pool table, plenty of seating. Parking is street parking in specific zones, and the hotel gives you a permit for a small fee, but it’s not guaranteed outside the hotel. There is a lift in the property, but the corridors are quite narrow, and there are steps up to the hotel, only a few but, still. All in all, it was ok, but I wouldn’t book again. It was just too noisy! I understand there are many more hotels in the area, and the upkeep or modifications of each hotel would cost a fortune, but i’d expect to have some level of soundproofing, at least. Yes, it was cheap, but still enough money to pay, in this day and age. If you can sleep anywhere with loads of noise, then this place will be fine for you.

Not B&B as requested or what they advertise in the rooms but the very basic requirements for a nights stay. Room was v hot even with window wide open all night. Not somewhere I could stay for more than 1 night.

Your average B&B

A standard no-frills B&B. Staff were polite enough. The room was average but the bed was quite comfy. Quite expensive for what it was. Parking is an absolute nightmare anywhere near the hotel.

It’s ok but not anything special

So not terrible but not amazing either. Room quite small and previous occupants 1/2 used shower gel bottle was left in the shower for me. Bring your own pillow, the singular pillow was as deep as an iPhone. Toilet filled at such a slow drip it was not conducive to sleep Main room area was clean and tidy.

Great location , great budget hotel

Location is brilliant three minute walk from town centre right up the pier It’s a family run business and the whole family was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. Yes, the rooms are a bit outdated, but the cleanest of the rooms was hundred percent The bar and lounge area is very comfortable to sit in and have a couple of drinks and the prices of the drinks are very reasonable 100% would stay again Thank you
