Booked a special Summer break for myself and my Mum. The location is perfect for the town and pier. The hotel is very clean. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant staff were particularly welcoming. We ate breakfast and evening meals in the hotel. The food was excellent. Already looking at staying again.
TripAdvisor
The hotel was clean, contemporary decor and we had a stunning view across the seafront. We will be back again soon to enjoy this fantastic hotel and recommend it for a Spring getaway.

Would return again during the summer, walking along the front and listening to the bands was first class.

I returned here for the second time this summer and as far as Eastbourne hotels go, this is a no brainer.
