Amazing place to stay, great architecture and such a grand place to reside. The food was amazing and the service was very professional and five star. The room was upgraded and was clean, fresh and massive. The spa and pool facilities whilst slightly aged were clean and nice to.use. I love the fact you check out and have free run of all the hotels facilities.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The concierges were professional, polite and the car parking service second to none. The parking is limited but if you need to park outside the hotel give you the parking ticket. Every little detail was thought about. This fine hotel is part of the Elite hotel group. This is the third one we have stayed in and they are all brilliant. Outstanding stay.

An absolutely amazing stay at this really wonderful and classy hotel. The facilities were brilliant, the staff are so friendly and professional and nothing is too much for them. The concierges were so helpful and kind especially James (Jim), Chris, Cole and Reece. The Spa centre staff were awesome, Angela, Alice and Emily. We were in room 234 and the views and room layout for our family were just amazing.

Old 5 stars hotel. Nice, impressive.everything good.the food amassing. We stayed for 2 nights only in a massive master ensuite but you can see everything is old.very old still nice as vintage but not that 5 stars you expect. The bathroom toilet reservoir was very noisy after you flush the water.anyway overall was a nice and relax stay we enjoyed every moments.

Really fabulous hotel for some old-style quality. Extremely good customer service from reception to room service to waiting staff to pool attendants. So friendly and helpful and professional - they really looked after us and we were only visiting for one night. Just a delightful hotel on a grand scale which still has all its charm. Very comfortable rooms and beds and I slept so well. Peaceful and quiet as well. Spacious rooms.
The swimming pools really made our stay though as did the steam room. So quiet every time we used them. I loved the outdoor pool- felt like being abroad to swim outside in a perfectly heated pool but the weather was a bit drizzly! Felt like the height of luxury. Eastbourne is a good place to get away to if you want lots of peace and quiet and to walk to Beachy Head or walk the South Downs. Endless space and no-one around! If you want to get away from it all for a few days then it's ideal. Strongly recommend and would go again.

Overnight stay and visited the spa for some treatments. The hotel decor wasn't really to my taste. Seemed quite old fashioned but that's my opinion. It's really clean and all of staff were really nice. The spa was really good Had breakfast in the morning which average, coffee was not great I wish the shower was adjustable in the room as I couldn't fit under it (5'11)

Great 5 star Hotel. Loved it. The best thing about this place is the staff. They are all so polite, helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely room with a sea view. It had everything you needed, including dressing gown and slippers. Food in the restaurant was lovely. And enjoyed sipping cocktails in the lounge after dinner. For the more energetic, there is a lovely indoor pool and Spa. We only stayed for 3 days but didn't want to leave. Would definitely go back again.

A one night stay and a meeting room hire at this friendly and welcoming hotel. The accomodation was superb, clean and very comfortable. The meeting room was great and the service I received throughout my stay was exceptional. I made full use of the leisure facilities (gym and pool). Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend.

My husband surprised me with a meal here in the garden room restaurant. It was grand for sure, the high ceilings and mouldings were all so beautiful. the staff were very attentive. The food was superb and worth every penny. If your looking to treat yourself or some else this place is worth the visit

Been coming here for a few years. Would highly recommend as a 5 star. Brilliant facilities especially the outdoor heated poll. The breakfast is world class - I don't think I have been to anywhere that can match the breakfast. Service from the staff is faultless as you would expect from a 5 star (and you are paying for it)
