Hastings Hotel Guide - Hotels with Restaurant in Hastings, England

"The Cavendish was extremely dirty and in poor condition. We paid for what was shown on the website as a lovely (standard double) we were given a room down many filthy dirty stairs to a dirty room on its own past dirty broken unused dumped tables opposite a staff doorway (room number 64) this room SHOULD NOT be in use. It was like being taken down to the basement dungeon.The window glass was broken..it was dirty, the curtains didn't fit the window and was freezing cold. I spoke to staff who did move us upto level 3 to another room.I would not recommend this hotel for your stay in Eastbourne"

"I rated my stay very high at the Mermaid Inn because it was a special detour in the very charming city of Rye. The inn was perfectly located. The food was excellent, from delicious fish and chips on the pub to a 5 star dinner in the dining room. Keep in mind this is a very old building with crooked steps and low ceilings. It may not be suitable for everyone. Our room was adorable and very comfortable. "

"Average stay "

"The room wasn’t clean. There were marks on the carpet and the bed sheet was ripped. Bath looked like it needed deep cleaning. But the staff were polite and we had a sea view. "

"Veey comfortable and friendly staff"

"We recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The breakfast was excellent, with a great choice of foods, and the service from the staff throughout our stay was genuinely outstanding. Unfortunately, the bedrooms and en-suite facilities were very dated and in need of a thorough clean and modernisation. We were disappointed on arrival, although the staff did change our room without any trouble. The second room had a slightly larger bed, but the overall standard still fell well below the expectations set by the photos on the website. The bar and breakfast room have clearly been refurbished and look beautiful, but from the stairs upwards the hotel is in real need of some TLC. The stair carpet is threadbare, and there are visible cracks in the walls, ripped wallpaper, dirty paintwork, and thick dust in several areas. The staff and breakfast were definite highlights, but the accommodation and general upkeep let the experience down. "

"Staff were lovely and helpful room was very comfortable .lovely courtyard for drinks .we had a lovely birthday celebration "

"I recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The property is clearly very old and has not been maintained to a reasonable standard. From the moment I arrived, it felt run down and neglected. The cleanliness was particularly concerning. The room was visibly dirty, with dust and grime in multiple areas. The bedding was especially off-putting—it looked worn, unclean, and far from fresh, which made it very uncomfortable to sleep. One of the biggest issues was the lack of hot water. After a long journey, not being able to have a proper shower was extremely frustrating and unacceptable for any hotel, regardless of price. Overall, the hotel felt tired, poorly maintained, and lacking in basic standards of hygiene and comfort. I would not recommend staying here unless significant improvements are made."

"Super stay. Bright, clean room Superior Classic. Had tasty sandwich lunch outside in sunshine. The hotel is wonderfully situated, set back from the road and coastline. Beachy Head walks very close by and superb promenade walks right out front by the sea. Great for Congress Theatre. Splendid historic building, facilities and friendly staff. Parking on site. Fabulous varied breakfast....cereals, fruits, smoked salmon/meats/cheeses and served hot breakfasts. Love it there. Thanks"
