Hastings House 9-Bedroom Holiday House

We felt very welcomed and check-in was super simple. Breakfast was a treat and Beverley was a very attentive host. An excellent way to spend a visit to St Leonards in comfort.

Lovely room with great sea views

Location

No parking available when it stated parking at facility was available

Location is amazing, right on the seafront. Really clean and very friendly and welcoming staff

Nothing

The view in the room and the host was lovely

Nothing

Great location. Wonderful host , good breakfast , will book again

Not a dislike at all but the addition of hash browns and black pudding on the breakfast as well as some fruit and yogurt would be welcome.

Location. Excellent breakfast. Very good tea and coffee facilities in the room.

No door on toilet

Vriendelijke ontvangst - heerlijk ontbijt à la carte - super goede bedden en beddengoed - mooie ligging

Eigenlijk niks

Staff were pleasant and helpful, lovely large bath.

The house was nice but it was a converted four story Edwardian building with no lift. We were on the top floor up a final very steep and narrow flight of stairs. We are both in our sixties, had we known about this we would not have booked. (Not mentioned in the description).

It is always a pleasure to stay at Hastings House. Everything exceeds expectations

Very nice location, very spacious and modern rooms. Good breakfast!

Great location, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, beautiful interiors

The lighting. The dimmer switch didn’t seem to work so it was too bright in the evening and one of the two bedside lamps didn’t work so couldn’t read before bed.

Friendly staff and lovely breakfast. Very central location. Free parking nearby

Building was empty on arrival

Superb breakfast Really friendly and helpful staff Great location with sea view

Main problem was the parking situation. Surprised that staff were not always on site, although were contactable by phone

Friendly and accommodating and no fuss.

The property’s location was excellent, situated just a short distance from the seafront

Initially, communication with the hotel was excellent. Although Beverly was out running errands, we arrived earlier than expected and were still allowed to access our room, which was brilliant. We would have been happy to wait or grab a coffee, so this was a very positive first impression. The allocated room did not correspond to the images displayed during the booking process. Although updated photos were later shared and the overall décor was consistent, the room’s size was smaller than anticipated. The room included a shower and WC; however, these were located within the bedroom area, separated only by a wall divide /curtain ! Sadly, there’s no sea view—just an alleyway out the back Staff member, who appeared to be the owner, came across as quite defensive, especially when we inquired about parking, which felt odd The cleanliness of the room was poor, with visible dust on surfaces and shelves. This issue was also noticeable in the bar and lounge areas. I am unsure how the property has received such high cleanliness ratings, as this did not reflect our experience. The breakfast was fairly average overall. The sausages were quite bland, but the bacon was excellent—except for the unfortunate presence of a human hair, which was unacceptable. When I raised the concern regarding the hair found in the bacon, Beverly responded by stating that, as she has blonde hair, the issue could not have originated from her. However, the other staff member who served us had long dark hair, and neither individuals had their hair properly tied back. Beverly subsequently suggested that the hair might have come from the egg.... Regardless of its origin, it is unacceptable that the food was checked before being served. Unfortunately, Beverly did not take responsibility and offered no apology, whereas the other staff member was very understanding and handled the situation well.

Everything

Faultless

The place itself could be charming and the location is very central, but it’s far too dirty, even by English standards: sticky floors, a strong smell of dogs at the entrance, windows that clearly haven’t been cleaned, a broken bathroom fan, and more. I ended up buying cleaning supplies and scrubbing my own room. It was a real disappointment, and it makes me question all the previous reviews (are they genuine or not?). The price is far too high (it’s one of the most expensive in the area) given the poor standards of cleanliness and service. I’m truly sorry, but I cannot recommend this place.

Excellent stay very polite staff will recommend, And will be coming back.

Superb breakfast and a great room, parking outside was free and we left the car there and used the bus, old town was lovely, staff were great location great

Room in spots needed a little work - door to bathroom had issues and lock to get into the building could be improved. Plus £360 for two nights - maybe a little high but ok as had a lovely time - would come again

Near the sea.

Very small room,overpriced.

Desayuno muy bueno, ubicacion genial

Przestronny, elegancki, w pełni wyposażony, cichy pokój z widokiem na Kanał La Manche, w bliskiej odległości od plaży. Włascicielka i personel uprzejmi, uśmiechnięci i pomocni. Przepyszne śniadanie. Miejsce warte polecenia.

La vue, l’emplacement, la propreté

Les tapis dans les escaliers, attention aux étages , si vous avez des valises, ne prenez que le strict nécessaire car il n’y a aucun ascenseur et je me suis encoublée dans les tapis!

Beautifully appointed room . Excellent views . Very comfy bed . Spotless. Superb breakfast.

Nicely design rooms, clean facilities lovely food and friendly staff.

Outside of the property is looking a touch tired now, the shower was a handheld shower on the bath and not an overhead attachment. I’d personally prefer a nice big shower rather than a big bath with a hand held attachment.

All is excellent

The room was very spacious, clean, and very modern. Great facilities and lovely sea view. Very friendly and accommodating staff too.

N/A - exceeded expectations and was a great room and hotel to stay in. Definitely recommend if staying for a few days in Hastings.

Location was excellent, right on seafront Good breakfast

Parking Cleanliness and condition of room (bed was clean)

The location was fantastic, short walk from the town centre, on the beachfront, a nice square outside. Staff was very kind and helpful as well, and the breakfast was amazing! Suited every taste.

Small details that I missed was a lock on the toilet door, a firmer mattress, and the blackout curtains that were a little uncomfortable to pull up and down for a short person as me.

The property was lovely and clean , the owner who met us at the door was very welcoming and friendly

Nothing it was spot on

Well located, clean, well decorated Great bathroom with walk in shower, very comfortable bed, really good breakfast.

Very friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast. Our room was spacious and well decorated.

Please note if booking this property that it is located in St Leonard’s and it is a (very pleasant) 20 - 25 minute walk (or short bus ride) to the sea front and attractions in Hastings.

Das Haus hatte eine schöne Lage.

Die Gastgeberin extrem unfreundlich. Es war wohl wichtiger mit dem Hund Gassi zu gehen als die zahlenden Gäste zu betreuen. Das Frühstück war an einem Morgen mehr als dürftig ! Am meisten hat die Aussage " bookon.com" sei ja wohl das Letzte und wäre kein guter Geschäftspartner für B&B-Betreiber, mich unangenehm berührt. Avisierte Parkplätze waren nicht vorhanden.

Excellent location, 100 yards from the beach. Very tasty breakfast and very kind hosts.

Very slow Internet connection or no Internet in the evenings. No air-conditioning, very mucky on the hot days.

Wir konnten das Zimmer kostenlos stornieren, nachdem wir keine sicheren Parkplätze auf der Straße gefunden haben. Vielen Dank dafür !

Es war fast eine Stunde telefonisch niemand erreichbar.

Location, facilities and the very friendly and helpful staff

Hosts very friendly, excellent breakfast, lovely view from room.

Jättebra läge nära stranden. Supertrevlig, tillmötesgående personal! Sköna sängar, bra frukost! Bra restauranger i närheten.

Comfortabel bed

Beperkt ontbijt

Location and staff were wonderful. The great view and an excellent breakfast as well.

No elevator and three flights of narrow stairs to our room. Luggage handling was a chore.

Beautiful clean comfortable bed, great bathroom. Decor quirky but a bit plastic. Wonderful breakfast.

Room was a bit hot initially. Also it was tricky getting in, finding door code in dark, but overall fine.

Fabulous location, lovely people, and great breakfast.

Nice breakfast and comfortable bed.

In our room there was only a curtain between the bedroom area and the bathroom/toilet area which is not what we expected for accommodation with a 5 star rating. Also we didn’t find out until we got to the property that the private parking is currently not available so we had to find on street parking which is quite limited in the afternoon.

El desayuno estuvo bien. Echamos en falta fruta. La habitación el tamaño muy bien. Las personas que nos atendieron fueron muy agradables.

El calor de las habitaciones que dan a la via principal horroroso. No habia mas que un pequeño ventilador de mano muy basico. Las camas de tamaño muy bien. Pero los colchones estaban hundidos. Las almohadas tambien eran muy malas.

Service was great, and the room comfortable. The building is a bit worn out but we had a nice bathroom that seemed newly renovated. We appreciated the small touches like the little bottle of milk in the fridge for coffee. Excellent breakfast.

Just fabulous everything xx

Location

The bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly

Great location, very nice breakfast, clean bedroom/bathroom, friendly and accommodating host who allowed us to change rooms to one with a firmer mattress after we’d checked in which was greatly appreciated.

Wardrobe needs securing to the wall properly as it felt a little unsafe. Finding parking was challenging at times, but not too much of an issue because restrictions don’t apply on the weekend

The breakfast was nice and the room was smart and clean. The staff were friendly.

No wall or door separating the bathroom and bedroom - not much privacy! Feel this should be mentioned in advance that it's not a separate en suite but in the bedroom.

Location, communication

Nothing

The location was lovely

There was a few stairs too climb too our room but it was worth it because the hotel was beautiful

The location from the train station was a short walk and the beach was just at the end of the street. It was a 25 minute walk along the sea front into Hasting old town, so a great location. The host was friendly and the breakfast was lovely.

The room did get very warm and we had to shut the windows in the evening because it did get very noisy from the people at the nearby pub.

Decor and service was excellent. I highly recommend the breakfast

Lots of stairs to our top floor room but great views after the climb!

The staff were professional and friendly. The place was modern, comfortable, and clean.

We liked it all, but it just needed a few more plugs for charging, etc

The b&b is very good, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the breakfast is excellent. Our room was very good, big with a very good shower.

Sometimes, it can be a bit awkward finding a space to park. There are plenty of parking spaces around the B&B, but you may have to look around a bit to locate one of them.

Friendly and welcoming. Comfy room. Great breakfast. Great location.

Full English breakfast was acceptable.

Our (long-booked) '5-star' accommodation turned out to be an airless room, with the afternoon sunshine flooding through the window -- which could not be opened because screwed firmly shut (apparently because broken). Nothing of course had been told me on arrrival about having to sleep on a warm spring night in a sealed room; &, upon complaint, no replacement room could be found. Was I offered in the morning any reduction in the room-price ? No ! When I raised the matter directly, it was airily dismissed, with excuses. The landlady's attitude was: I have your money, I don't care any more ! Parking. Apart from 2 payable parking bays, it was 'free parking...nearby'. Merely theoretical because the immediate & surrounding areas were solidly parked up (even in April, & probably all the year round), forcing us to find a space about 10 minutes' walk up the hill.

Host stayed in touch to make sure I could enter after hours. Lots of useful facilities - tv, roberts radio, video player etc. Very good lighting. Lots of mirrors for make up and visibility. Comfortable bed, crisp, clean bed linen. Heater if you needed it and tea making facilities Fantastic breakfast and attentive staff.

Biggest problem was that the box marked 'shower cap' was empty and there was no provision of shampoo - I had to use the rubbish bag to put over my head to keep my hair dry as I couldnt wash it. I was attending an important lunch so this was a bit upsetting. The room was much smaller than I expected - you could only walk around the bed and I had difficulty to find somewhere to put my suitcase .

We had room 5 and couldn’t have asked for a nicer room. Beautifully appointed and spacious with a wonderful view over the sea and Warrior Place. Breakfast was served in a lovely dining room and was delicious. Bev and here team were great hosts. A great stay.

Comfortable room and good breakfast

Key was not in the key box as suggested

The bathroom and bed were clean, but the bedside tables were dusty enough to write your name on. The place gave a messy impression upon arrival. Disappointing.

Clean and tidy friendly staff lovely location

There is no parking and we got a £25 fine

Everything was awesome!

Please see trip advisor review but hotel did not live up to our expectations Was not a luxury stay

Read trip advisor review

Breakfast was great, staff lovely, location brilliant, will be back.

Vegetarian and vegan options available. Coffee refills were welcomed!

More vegan options would we welcomed

Breakfast was good. Amanda was lovely.

"Cosy double" was very small and room was very warm. We would book a bigger room next time.

It has a great location near the seafront and is walking distance from the town center, attractions, and parks.

The parking is a slight challenge in that you must find a vacant spot in the immediate area of Warrior Square.

Superb Hotel in St.Leonards. The landlady gave us our keys and explained a few things. We were on the top floor (no lifts as explained in description) with a lovely clean room and a free standing bath, mini fridge, tea making facilities etc. Bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was made upon request, everything from full english, pancakes, veggie breakfast, smoked salmon & scrambled eggs, a great choice. Hotel is about 10 minutes to pier and 25 minutes to Hastings old town. Will come back again as we were really looked after well, nothing was too much, many thanks.

The location was good. It was clean. It was secure. Our room was quite small but cozy and had everything we needed for a one nights stay.

There was no shower, only a bath. The breakfast, the only cereal available was granola or muesli, there was no fresh fruit or yoghurt or the option of a continental breakfast, which was very disappointing for someone that does not eat a full English breakfast. We had to send the toast back as there was mould on it. To be fair my husband had the full English breakfast and he enjoyed it.

Quirky and comfortable

comfortable bed fantastic breakfast and lovely hosts great stay
