Top Eastbourne Hotel Reviews

Marine Parade Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Manager Tito was absolutely fantastic nothing was too much trouble and hes was happy to help with everything and was fantastic with our daughter. He really went above our expectations. Good location on the sea front. Rooms have everything you need"

The Lansdowne, Eastbourne

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time at the Landsdowne! The rooms were wonderfully sized for my family of 4, the premises were kept clean and tidy and the staff were so helpful and kind. My kids loved the ice lolly stand at the reception which was a lovely touch to our stay. We had breakfast on one of the mornings there and it was delicious. Highly recommended and would definitely come again."

Eastbourne Riviera Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was clean and staff was helpful"

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

8/10 Good

"The Grand Hotel is a long-established, traditional hotel with a distinctly classic look and feel. The aesthetic is not quite my personal preference, but I had a good stay and was particularly impressed by the service. I emailed the hotel before arriving and received a prompt and helpful response. My room was spacious, with generous wardrobe space, a safe, a Nespresso machine with pods, two complimentary bottles of water and bespoke bathroom amenities. Service throughout my stay was excellent. Rita and Sylvia at reception were both extremely helpful, as was the valet team. Room service occasionally took a few attempts to reach, but once through, they were attentive and the food arrived promptly. I also overslept one morning and nearly missed breakfast. They kindly arranged a tray and brought it to my room. The food was consistently excellent. The hotel has a beautiful seafront setting, especially on a clear day and the lounge and afternoon tea are clearly popular with local guests. If you favour traditional grand hotels, classic interiors and attentive service, The Grand should suit you well. For me, the quality of the service was what made the stay."
