    The room could be cleaner and there's no reception or staff around so if there's any issue you might have to wait a while until it gets sorted.

    It's very close to the beach and there's free parking.

    Parts of the building have been closed - bar area & we could see two pigeons in the bar. Externally the hotel doesn’t look so promising & the car park had litter. Lots of stairs to the rooms so wouldn’t suit those with mobility issues.

    Rooms have recently been refurbished so clean & comfortable. Good shower. Parking available at the back of the hotel, which is in a brilliant location for the Main Street & beach.

    If you have mobility issues be aware there is no lift The cold tap only trickled - maybe a water pressure problem

    Had a lovely stay, the room beautifully clean with a sea view and was bright and airy and surprisingly cool considering it was the hottest day of the year As others have mentioned there is no reception or staff on site but this does not bother us (you enter at the back of the building ) Also the building is being renovated although no work was going on whilst we were there but something to be aware of location is perfect with everything you need on your doorstep

    Apart from the absence of any staff, none.

    This was a recently refurbished location with no real problems. Similar to remotely supervised rooms abroad. However, the point of contact was attentive and personable, so the stay was efficiently processed without any issues. We were very happy with the accommodation and even stayed an extra night.

    No staff there at all. Place is weirdly staff free, keys in boxes outside. Building deserted looking and in poor state externally. Put me on a room at the top which was absolutely boiling hot but they did provide a fan. The shower had 2 settings. Off and boiling.

    Rooms very clean, I'd guess recently refurbished so look quite nice. Lots of sockets for chargers etc.

    Rather noisy. Hotel located on busy road.. No chair in room or towel rail in bathroom. Hotel partly derelict. Not sure if it is a work in progress?

    Clean comfortable room. Close to the beach. No food on site but nice bar/restaurant nearby.Self check in not an issue. Manager was helpful when I spoke to him on the phone.

    There were a lot of small blinds over a large window, which allowed light in at every break. A shame as they were good quality blinds. So if your light sensitive it’s not for you. There were no rails for hanging the towels in the bathroom. Could do with a table or chest , to put things on or in. There were quite a few long blonde hairs on the floor and bed!!! I’m bald.

    The room is newly renovated, fresh carpets, lovely bathroom and comfy bed.

    Clean and comfortable hotel with self check-in but limited facilities nearby

    The hotel was under refurbishment which was not communicated until after the non-refundable booking was made. There were no restaurant facilities or communal areas to use - there is a very lovely bakery / cafe nearby though but still. The hotel is also quite isolated in its location and while it is close enough to drive to Eastbourne and surrounding pubs there are other hotels in closer locations.

    The hotel was clean, recently refurbished rooms, in a quiet area, with lots of parking. It is self service check in and easy to come in and out as you please. There is a really nice cafe nearby for breakfast

    Housekeeping could be better. We were staying 4 nights and no rubbish taken or anywhere to put it. Very little space for clothes only 2 hangers and bedside drawer ridiculous size. Consider how long guests are staying when arranging housekeeping? Rubbish, towels, tea tray etc...

    Very clean, great location. Problem with my sisters room was sorted promptly by Andrew with minimum upheaval.
