    I personally found the mattress uncomfortable ,but my husband thought it was fine.. however I am a princess and a pea so take a single Duvalay topper wherever I stay away.

    Interesting , eclectic and quirky interiors. Very. Clean and in good order inside and out. Although rooms were small due to the age of the building , you have everything you need . Excellent shower. Strong wall hooks with plenty quality hangers. The bedding was wonderful high quality cotton . Staff were very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. Always willing to help. Food was imaginative and delicious. Original menu. Great location . Very good breakfast .

    Me and my partner are over 5'10 so very tall. Our feet did hang out of the bed a bit and for bigger people it seemed pretty small but I don't think it would be an issue for most people.

    The staff were very friendly, took the time to explain where to go and the sites near the hotel. They were very good with my dog which had special needs. The room was clean and tidy.

    Maybe the flooring throughout but that is being picky!

    Very friendly and welcoming. The bar has a very welcoming and cosy feel. Food was exceptionally good but the breakfast was top drawer. Loved it. Facilities in room were spot on. Very large and comfy bed and the shower was out of this world. This was a last minute.com booking so wasn’t sure what to expect but we were more than pleasantly surprised.

    There was nothing I did not like or was unhappy with.

    I enjoyed the whole experience of staying at the Abbey Hotel. The facilities were excellent, as was the location. The cleanliness and the room was superb. The value for money was first class. the staff were also very friendly and helpful. I only had breakfast at the hotel, but there was everything I could ask for and the service was very good. I will without a shadow of doubt stay her again and will recommend it to anyone who is going to stay in Battle.

    If I have to be nit picky, the only issue was some of the other staff (and the other manager, not Max) were complaining loudly enough that customers could hear about the number of people ordering Roast dinners on a Sunday. But they were understandably very busy cause the food is so good and the staff just needed to vent.

    Amazing experience for a great price. The hotel is literally opposite the Abbey and the site of the battle of Hastings! You can see it out the front windows. The food was great too, and the price was very good for such a great location and big comfy bed. But a young manager called Max was amazing. He was so kind, respectful, and very organised. He made very nice accommodations for us last minute and food from the restaurant to our room. The owners are a lovely couple with a lot of class and great customer service. They even dropped us off at the station when there were no taxis and it was raining a lot. Would very much like to come back again.

    The shower room was snug and there was no window.

    We requested if we could check in early as the Wedding we were attending was at the same time as check in and we were delighted that we were able to check in more than an hour earlier. The room was a good size and very clean with an excellent array of Tea and Coffee, Hot Chocolate and Biscuits. The bed was comfy and the linens were fresh and clean. Complimentary toiletries were to a high standard. The breakfast offering was exceptional and the food was hot and served on a hot plate.

    A brilliant little hotel let down by one staff member and overpriced food.
    • With a pet
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Double Room - Room 5
    • Stayed 1 night

    The price (£8) and standard of my pudding was disappointing and to spend over £30 on a pint, burger, chips and pudding seems excessive. Not having a choice where to sit in the morning for my breakfast (although only one other person was having breakfast at that time) and being directed to sit directly in front of the bad news being broadcast on TV wasn't my idea of a relaxing start. My welcome when I arrived was "can you close the door behind you please?" and this staff member seemed constantly on the verge of annoyance.

    Complimentary full English breakfast was awesome. The room was nice and the bathroom very clean- great sink and taps and super pressure in the shower. Nice coffee and tea in the the room and also dressing gowns. The young lady on the bar was very friendly and pleasant, as was the man who brought my breakfast out. The atmosphere and decor in the bar was nice and the cheese burger and chips excellent, if over seasoned. The location was ideal for having a wander around Battle. There were some very nice flower arrangements both inside and out of the hotel.

    Scaffolding with safety netting up at the front of the building meaning we couldn't get a decent draw of air into the room meaning it was absolutely stifling hot even with the fan, also no view out of the window because of the scaffolding, this was never mentioned when room booked and no financial recompense offered when I asked.

    Staff and food brilliant.
