Awesome Staff!
Really nice hotel, excellently situated opposite the beach, with the sound of the waves sending me to sleep.
The best bit was the staff. They were very helpful and supportive of my needs.

Good place to stay
Seafront , literally just cross the rd to swim.
Good sized , clean , modern (this is unusual for many of the seafront hotels) single rooms.
Like all Eastbourne hotels fronting the beach , the seaview is taxed by unavoidable traffic noise NB The Riviera also has a busy road to the rear.
Lovely staff.
Good wifi
£2.35 voucher for street parking 8am to 11am next day.

Nice clean hotel
The hotel was clean for its age. We had a sea facing room, and there was a lot of road noise so it was difficult to sleep. The rooms that are not facing the road may be quieter.

Lovely hotel on the seafront
A perfect location, directly on the seafront and walkable to the town and theatre.
An old hotel, but our room was recently decorated and clean.
We parked in the NCP about a 10 min walk from the hotel, but there were options to park along the seafront.

Right on the seafront.
The hotel is in a good location on the front. The room we had was at the back and was very hot. Even with the window open. It was also very noisy due the road at the back. The staff are lovely.

An attractive garden gave welcome to a spacious and clean entrance. Since our stay was on a bank holiday early in the season the bar was not open and we were not able to dine from what looked like a tasty menu. Check in was easy and the room spotless and well- appointed. Location central and near the sea made this a pleasant stay
