It was clean, staff was friendly, pretty much sums up the basics. The room was great, the additional reading room was a nice touch even though we didn't use it. We had a beach view which really made the stay that much better.

With a fine position on the seafront in St. Leonards-on-Sea, this hotel offers traditional hospitality and a friendly atmosphere.

Built in 1828, the Royal Victoria Hotel has seen many guests, including the Queen.

A fine marble staircase leads up from the lobby to the Piano Bar and Sea Terrace Restaurant.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.

“Charming”
- • Leisure trip

There is an old rotating doorway to enter, which takes some skill if you have luggage and big bags. This is more fun than a thing we didn't like. The hotel is old so some people may not like all the creaking floorboards, which may wake you up at night, however we felt it added to the charm of an old building. The bed mattress was bowed in the middle whilst still being firm (bit too firm for me). The hotel has charm, we enjoyed it so much we stayed a second night.
Loved the enormous room with sea view. Bathroom with a bath. Impressive stairs and bar area, (the bar has Guinness as an option for drinks). Friendly staff. It even has a lift for getting to the top floor with luggage. Enjoyed getting lost while trying to walk back down the stairs which is a bit convoluted, and seeing all the old portraits. It was cold out and the room was cold when we entered, it has an electric heater, which warmed the room fairly quickly and we were not cold at all with the exception of the first 5 minutes.

Parking was a little tricky. We arrived a bit later than we expected, and the local streets, where parking is unrestricted, were pretty full. Eventually, though, we found a slightly awkward space about two minutes walk from the hotel, which was fine.
The room was warm and comfortable, with plenty of space to spread out(!). The sea view was pleasing - watching Hasting's running population running along the sea front made us feel very sensible for not joining in! Breakfast, as ever, was as good as they get - a superb range to choose from, plus special items cooked to order. I really must try not to have some of everything next time!

The hotel is very tired. The sea room was very draughty as the windows are old and don’t fit. The bed slopped towards the headboard. The bathroom was in need of some attention
The hotel is very convenient for what we came to Hastings for ie a family party. The staff were lovely and the helpful.
