Friendly staff, easy to book in, ideal location for theatres and seafront, easy to come in and out.
Room was very small.
It was clean and tidy - good value for money
The window didn't stay open and the room was very hot, with no way of adjusting the temperature. There were no teabags, only coffee, which I don't drink; the cable for the light seemed a bit dodgy and the bed was very lumpy- you could feel all the springs in the mattress. I was a bit sad to be charged an extra £10 for late check in when my train was delayed, but they did kindly offer to waive it for me.
De matras was echt aan vervanging toe!! De geur op de kamer(tapijt?) Raam bleef niet open. Héél kleine kamer.. goed voor 1 nacht..
Els llits molt comòdes
El bany, petit i amb poca llum. Instalacions antigues. I no hi havia armari.
Great location and had a cheeky side sea view Friendly owners
Small room, maybe remove some furniture Either a member of staff or guest was chain smoking continually late in the night by the front door which travelled in to my room Was not made aware of building works next door which was startling early in thr morning
It was well located near the town and seafront. Easy to find. Clean and tidy and had good shower. Friendly and considerate staff when arrived late by train.
Really only the bed, it was like sleeping on the floor. Too hard by modern standards
staff ok however it needs renovation
Close to town . Clean room
Very small room and bathroom hardly any room . Bit expensive for what it was . No meals or anything included. Probably would not stay again .
Staff was friendly and the location was great
It wasnt clean. There was no dustbin. No heating facilities. No cupboards or cabinets. I was bit by bed bugs. One milk sachet for two coffees Lots of noises all through the night .
Lokalizacja
Close to the beach.
Firstly, the reception desk was not manned all of the time and the receptionist was not welcoming. The decor throughout the hotel is very dated. Our twin room was furnished like a hostel, a clothes hanging rack instead of a wardrobe, curtains which didn't fit the windows, only one pillow each & the bathroom hasn't been updated since the 1970s.....The shower was like a dribble and we couldn't wash our hair as a result. The room was not serviced during our 3 night stay. There is no onsite parking & no breakfast facilities. The hotel is near a conference centre which means that noise levels when the centre empties is very loud.
Location. Quick check in and speedy checkout.
Noise in next building (but couldn't be helped).
Etre près de la mer
Tout ! Notre arrivée établissement fermé. Réceptionniste désagréable. Hotel très très vétuste, une horreur ! Les draps avec des auréoles d’urine, que nous avons faits changer, avec madame dans sourire.
The location was local to facilities and restaurants
The parking wasn’t great
Simple but effective hotel, nothing too jazzy, but more than adequate for the price. Friendly staff.
shower was a bit lack lustre!
Quite cheap at £41 pn
Decorated badly, No shampoo
Great location. Nice bed.
Showers need updating.
Location was good.
Very dirty. No mattress or pillow protectors. Sheets were stained. Dubious brown marks on the bath and around the toilet. Carpet stained in several places. Outdated which wouldn’t have been a problem if it had been clean. Which it definitely wasn’t.
The hotel was located close to the theatre, nice restaurants and 3 minutes walk from the beach. The room was fine, with comfortable bed, and en-suite. For the location and the time of year it was very good value.
The room was a bit dated and the door was difficult to close without the key, sadly the bar in the basement was closed.
Location good for town centre & sea front, could actually see a bit of sea from our window.
The lift was very small & seemed a bit dated.
The hotel is in a great location a few minutes from the beach and lovely restaurants. The common parts are newly decorated. The bottle of water on arrival is a nice touch. Don't have to worry about carrying luggage up stairs as there is a lift. We were in a room on upper level which had views of the hills and a cool breeze
We were on upper floors so shower pressure wasn't great. The pillows could do with updating or have a pillow protector.
Staff were very friendly, great location as near to seafront and close to town centre
The lift was very unreliable
This hotel exceeded our expectations. We paid a low price and were near the sea front. We had two communications from the hotel before our stay, both useful. We were greeted by a lovely man, who told us all we needed to know for our stay and furnished us with a fan as we were on the top floor. The room was recently decorated and clean with all we needed.
The water pressure and seagulls waking early - both things we do not expect the hotel to rectify.
Közel van a parthoz. Kettő szobát béreltünk az egyik ár érték arányban megfelelő volt a másik az a nem tetszett kategóriába sorolható
Az egyik szobánál egy kis előtér van (2 szoba nyílik innen)ami tűzvédelmi ajtóval van leválasztva a fő folyosóról, ezen a kis részen kellemetlen szagok voltak ami bement a szobába is. A képek nem igazán tükrözik a valóságot ... tudom az ár sem volt magas de ez még akkor is zavaró.
Management were obliging
Sometimes people drinking in front step It lowered the tone of the hotel that has had some great changes
Location
Smelt musty
Clean
The toilet flush in 301 was broken and extremely hot room
Last minute booking Unkompliziert
Shower kein Wasserdruck
Location is good
Old, musty smell in the room, no ventilation in bathroom, rusty shelves in bathroom
It was cheap.
It felt cheap
We didn't have breakfast.
Nothing really it was good for the price and reasonable.
Buona posizione e facilità di parcheggio (a pagamento)
Pulizia della stanza e bagno da rivedere
Location
Very old. Bathroom was pretty poor and shower only goes up a certain height which is so low. Had to go downstairs to request a hairdryer which took a while even though the advert says it’s in room.
Locație centrală
Slab la capitolul curatenie
Staff were very friendly and good location
Size of the room
location was great but that’s about it’s it
for the price (£236 for the night!!) the state of facilities was absolutely not up to scratch. in addition, the reception is not manned so to get anything out of them takes effort (can’t drop off your luggage earlier, need to phone them if you need anything etc)
The room was spacious for 3 people. There was an amazing lift! Very close to the beach. Bathroom was workable. Towels and sheets were decent. Beds comfy.
Late check in and early check out. Nothing else.
Location
Property was dirty, no wardrobe , curtain rail broken. Over charged for parking.
It was very close to the theatre where we were performing.
It was quite deserted, no one on the front desk at times.
The beds were comfortable. Close to the seafront and town
Tired hotel decor. Staff were scarce and lacked a warm welcome
Good location
The hotel appears to have a bar but it wasn't open on a summer evening Was on 4th floor. Shower pressure non existent Lift a bit rickety. Took the stairs
Great location for the beach and Winter Gardens.
Bed was a little uncomfortable.
It was on the quieter side of town. There are cafes and restaurants nearby.
The room wasn't cleaned properly. It's very rough around the edges decor-wise.
Very good location with parking
The beds could have been firmer, felt more like a water bed but was ok for one night.
The location
Everything..size of room, shower was a dribble no bedside lamps , only 1 glass, TV v small, lift not working!
Cheap
Very small room
I like the staff they are good and helpful when needed and look forward to returning again .
It was really well located and it was really clean. On our case, we asked if we could leave our luggage before check in time, and the let us. It was really helpfull for us
-
Good location clean but basic and bed not too comfortable bumpy shabby but was cheap so expected it. Only wanted somewhere central to sleep and it done the job
La ubicación cerca de la playa y a solo 15 min de la estación central.
1. La limpieza era inexistente. Toda la habitación estaba llena de manchas y suciedad. La ducha estaba llena de pelos. 2. La incomodidad de las camas y las almohadas. Notabas los muelles de la cama. Volvemos a casa con dolor de espalda y cuello. 3. La cantidad de ruido que hay. Si tu música favorita son los chillidos de las gaviotas, este es tu lugar. Las ventanas prehistóricas no insonorizan absolutamente nada. Da igual la hora que fuese. 4. Las cortinas están de adorno porque ni se pueden mover ni tienen ningún tipo de función ya que no tapan la entrada de luz. 5. Las ventanas datan del años 5 antes de Cristo. Era imposible subirlas y bajarlas. 6. Había 6 perchas rotas en la habitación, todas de una tienda de ropa -.- 7. Sentarte en el WC era una aventura en cada momento. No se cabía en el lugar. 8. Había un cartel sobre las toallas para tener cuidado de no usarlas mucho para no mancharlas. ¿Qué sentido tiene tener una toalla si no la puedes usar? 9. Tres veces llamamos al ascensor. Aún seguimos esperándolo, nunca llegó. Una de las huéspedes tiene dolor de rodilla y fue una odisea subir las escaleras. 10. Nunca había nadie en la recepción. Parecía un hotel fantasma.
The bed was comfy, sheets and towels were clean
The room was extremely small, with a very small TV, and the bathroom was about as tiny as you could imagine. A larger person would definitely struggle to manoeuvre comfortably. Unfortunately, the cup provided was dirty and there were no complimentary toiletries, other than a basic handwash. For a two-night stay, I was initially only given two milks and two teabags. However, once I mentioned these issues to the receptionist, everything was sorted, and I have to say she was very nice and helpful. The bedside lamp also didn’t work and, while I appreciate that this is an older building, the room itself felt very dated and could certainly do with some updating. On a positive note, the location was quite good, with shops and the seafront not too far away. I understand this was budget accommodation, so I wasn’t expecting luxury, but I did expect the room and facilities to match what was advertised.
Was good location
Not very clean, I got locked in the bathroom, no staff to contact during the night
Bed was nice
Thr shower pressure was very weak and there is no parking facility. Just public parking on the street. Id paid extra for a hotel with parking because id arrived at a busy time.
Location
The shower had no cold water , no fridge in the room
Great location, no fuss and excellent value for money
Lovely staff room adequate. Bed comfortable and clean excellent for what we paid. It said 3 star so we only expected 3 star. Too many people pay 3 star and expect 5 star. Would go there again.
Poor very small no bar open was just terrible would not recommend
Staff the hotel reslly run down rooms really small
A localização
O facto de amanhecer por volta das 05h e apesar de ter umas cortinas grossas, o quarto ficava com muita luz
Location , clean beds and towels
No conditioner, such a small rooms. Lift wasn’t working there looks like forever.
Good value for the room rate charged of £36 per night, I was in room 404, on fourth floor
The room was grotty
Nothing. They are rude
They don’t bother to reply or even acknowledge messages you send them. I’ve stayed here several times but never again. Very poor management and greedy
To be honest Only location Probably if was called hostel was more acceptable
Everything was extremely bad
Location was excellent, next to Devonshire Park and close to the beach
Room very basic, shower was tiny, bed seemed to have bedbugs
Nice tidy and clean room got everything you need.
No breakfast
location
ended up not staying as the room was far too hot even though windows were open. I used none of the facilities not even the toilet so I would have thought as a gesture of goodwill a partial refund could have been made. The room was rather small and very dated.
Location
Very cramped, bin not emptied, armchairs far to large for the room.
Gute Lage direkt am Meer, Nahe Anbindung zu Bus und Zug. Viele nette Lokale in der Nähe. Bett war gemütlich.
Zimmer sehr spärlich ausgestattet, sieht etwas heruntergekommen aus (Farbe blättert von der Wand, abgeschlagene Möbel, vergilbtes Klopapier, rosa/rostfarbenen flecken in der Dusche,Klo war sehr klapprig), keinerlei Abstellmöglichkeiten im Badezimmer, der Lift war den gesamten Aufenthalt kaputt und mein Zimmer war im obersten Stockwerk. Die Rezeption war meistens unbesetzt. Man konnte kein Gepäck dort lagern (da erst ab 15:00 check in und um 10:00 bereits check out war) und ich musste 2x bei der Rezeption anrufen um überhaupt ins Hotel reinzukommen da die Eingangstüre 24/7 verschlossen ist (nachdem check in bekommt man jedoch zum Glück einen Chip für die Eingangstüre).
Nothing
1.wrong type of room given , not what i booked 2 no food on offer, 3 no breakfast 4 no bar 5 no lift out of order over 2 days
Location
Dirty bed and rooms. No F&B facilities. No room cleaning. Invisible staff. Lift broken. No fans in rooms.
Location was great. Our room looked nothing like the pics!
shower, room size
Comfy convenient stay over for the tennis,, right on door step...staff were friendly and very helpful
It was clean
I wa on 4 th floor no lift am they never even bothered to open the bar in ver hot weather
Location is fabulous opposite the Towner gallery and tennis Hotel basic but clean
Breakfast and the basement bar have gone sadly Room was small and not very well equipped No bedside lights or chair or hair drier
Centrally located.
Showers hardly worked. Lift broken and had to take luggage up to fourth floor. Very small room and the bed was not suitable as a double.
Good location, quiet, clean room.
Nothing.
The location of the hotel was the only redeeming factor.
There was no breakfast or other food available whereas the website clearly states 20% off all food and drink. There was no real apology for this and no explanation. The rooms were on the third and fourth floors and the day after we arrived the lift was shut down by the local Fire Brigade. No apology was offered for this and no assistance was offered with our bags when we left. The single rooms were exceptionally small - unlike the rooms shown on the website- they were also very dingy and there was no servicing of the rooms whilst we were there. The only saving factor was the location- we were visiting Eastbourne for the tennis and the hotel was a few minutes walk from the courts. Overall we were very disappointed with our stay and also felt we spent more on food and drink then we needed to had there been food available and we could have taken up the offer of the 20%. Their listing on Booking.com needs to be updated to be more accurate.
