Very pleasant 1 night stay. Owner helpful and welcoming. Room and breakfast excellent My wife and I would definitely consider staying here again

The staff were friendly and helpful. It is compact and old but convenient. There is a lift to ave carrying bags upstairs, and free parking in the street.

Location Friendly staff

Very small room No table in room Wash basin in room Low pressure shower

The owner was very friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast . Rooms were warm and clean. Convenient location. Super tea and coffee making facilities in our room.

We experienced difficulty flushing the toilet in our room. The decor was a little tired.

White towels. Good breakfast.

Peeling wallpaper. Mismatched and damaged furniture. Awful bathroom. Bleach marks on bathroom carpet. Cheap loo roll. No colour scheme, everything mismatched. Just very shabby and old fashioned.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Ellesmere. I was only there for one night, as staying overnight after a friend's wedding, but I thought the staff were very friendly and couldn't do more to be helpful, which made a wonderful change from some of the hotels and B&Bs I've stayed in. It has a very homely and comfortable feeling. The whole place was very clean too. My double room was just the right size, and the ensuite was all that I needed. There was small flat screen TV up on the wall, with awide range of digital channels and Radio stations. The supply of tea and coffee was plentiful, and the bed was a large double. The buffet breakfast in the morning was excellent, and the cooked full English was freshly cooked and topped up with fried eggs, mushrooms, bacon, sausages (particularly good!), tomatoes, and baked beans. There was also toast, cereals, yogurts, fruit, apple and orange juice, and tea and coffee. I would definitely stay at The Ellesmere again and recommend it to other people.

The mattress in the double bed I had was a little too hard for me, and even though I really liked the homely traditional feeling of the whole place, I felt that the decore could do with some updating.

Convenient to beach and foreshore attractions. Breakfast was good.

Room was dated but expect this with the price paid.

Location 100yds from beach and walking distance to South Downs, Bathroom modern and up-to-date. Clean and friendly.

Free Parking but min 200yds away. Dried out breakfast unless first down. Cramped dining just was not enough space if fully booked.

Excellent attitude of the owner or manager. Superb location. Ideal.Much better than a Travellodge! Superb parking.

Close to the theatre,owner very pleasant!

Very small room,sliding door noisy and when shut left a gap and you couldnt lock it! Shower was very difficult and couldnt get water temperature right so gave up!!

comfortable room, beutiful bathroom, tea making facilities.

overall the staff and hotel were excellent and I will most certainly use it again o my next trip

breakfast

nothing

Close to Eastbourne waterfront and shopping centre. Friendly hotel. Lock up area for bicycles.

Friendly staff, good location, nice breakfast.

Tiny room, bathroom sliding doors about 1 foot from bed.

Very happy with our stay at the Ellesmere, clean, warm and comfortable. Extremely helpful and pleasant proprietor and staff. Delicious english breakfast, would stay again and recommend to friends, great value.

Not very much

Room very small and dated only sore staff on arrival and departure

Only stayed one night, but thought is was value for money enjoyed breakfast which was buffet so I could choose the amount I had, it was very nice to, would stay again.

There was nothing I didn't like.

The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The manager/owner was friendly and helpful. (excelent recommendation to visit the nearby theatre) Price was very competitive for the Premier Inn/Travelodge market. Good breakfast too. Very enjoyable experience all round.

No dedicated hotel parking, (but in fairness free on-street parking was not far away, but during the busy season I think this could be an issue)

Everything was straightforward with no hassle.

The bathroom fittings were really modern but lacked a shelf over the hand basin,nowhere to put your shaving stuff.

I thought the hotel was clean ideally situated for the theatre and food was good so were the staff

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very good, freshly cooked.

Shower was very small but adeqquate.
