Eastbourne Apartments

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at The View. This hotel has a lovely location with wonderful views of the coast from most rooms. We had a king size balcony room. The room had been well valeted prior our arrival and the staff were very welcoming. The staff were really good throughout. The breakfast was very well presented and of good quality albeit the almost inevitable buffet. This was not a cheap stay with the room cost averaging over £200 per night and we do not believe that it represented good value for money. Our whole stay was marred by the standard of housekeeping. We returned to the room on the Sunday afternoon to find it half valeted. I had bled from a small cut on the head onto the pillow case. I made sure that I left the pillow blood side up to ensure that it was not missed. The bed had not been made and the pillow simply turned over. The bathroom was not cleaned, the cups and glasses unwashed and the tea tray had not been cleaned or refreshed. We reported this to reception but it took a very long time for housekeeping to come and complete the valeting. To make matters worse the young lady admitted that she valeted the room but said that she had not turned the pillow over. A plain lie. So although hotel has good points we will not be visiting again.

Pre-visit review: I had to cancel at the last minute. The management were extremely accommodating, allowing me an open option to re-book in the future. Excellent customer service, and one happy customer who has not lost his money. I will certainly be going there in future.

The room is big, and the bathroom is also big. It is located by the sea, just a little way down the road in front of the door, and the sea is very beautiful. The hotel is said to have a history of 120 years, and the facilities are well maintained. The elevator is very distinctive, and I waited for 10 minutes to go downstairs when I checked out in the morning. It is recommended to go early if you are in a hurry.

We stayed for 3 nights as a family with children under the age of 6 and had the best time. The hotel service is exceptional, every need was met. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the valet who helped us park the car and take our bags. They reserved our space for us with a board for the whole stay. The children received a kids backpack with hat, yo-yo and colouring in. We went straight down to the health club to the indoor pool. When we came out the reception said our room was now ready and collected the keys for us. Our room was a junior suite, it spotless and sizeable with drinks provided on ice and slippers for everyone. In the evening the children could order complimentary milk and cookies which they loved. The outdoor pool was heated and lovely when the sun was out, this was end of may/June. There also was a waiter serving drinks outside. The breakfast was amazing, great selection and the kids loved have every meal served with a cloche and countdown reveal. The added extras on the service make this a wonderful hotel. The positives far outweigh the negatives, I guess it could do with some new carpets and some new upholstery but the charm of the old building supersedes this and although old it was very clean. The bed mattress was ok, quite soft. The sofa bed wasn’t very comfortable but ok for young children. We will be back again!! Thank you

This was my second stay, the first with my granddaughter aged 2 and 10 months. Everything was perfect, I couldn't have asked for more. Everyone was just so friendly and we had a wonderful time. We felt like part of the family and were very much ”at home” staying at the Beach Front. A big thank you from myself and Isabel for making us feel so welcome.

The location of the hotel is very good, the service is also warm, the room environment is similar!

We recently stayed at this beautiful historic hotel on Eastbourne’s stunning seafront. I cannot fault the quality of our stay. The hotel has been beautifully refurbished and is an oasis of peace and calm. The dining experience is exquisite and the delicious breakfasts are hearty and plentiful. The staff go out of their way to help and the rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable. The views out to see are breathtaking. We’ve stayed in several hotels in Eastbourne but this one is our absolute favourite by far. We will be returning again and again. Thank you to all the lovely staff for our fantastic weekend.

Excellent location for the beach, various restaurants, shops and the railway station - with the added bonus of having on-site parking. We were welcomed by the lovely Nickole who was full of smiles and very friendly. She explained the breakfast room, showed us the evening facilities (i.e. if you wanted use of a microwave), and where the lounge area was (with drink facilities if required). Our booking was for 2 single rooms and as requested were on the same floor. The rooms, each with their own bathroom, have everything you need and the beds were very comfy. Overall this B&B is nice and clean and in a good location. At the end of my stay I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Steve and through our chat I could see his passion for ensuring his guests would have a great stay (since they took this place on last year), and that he would be a good custodian of this lovely old Victorian building. I look forward to returning in the very near future.

The room was clean and comfortable and everything worked as it should. Value for money. The hotel is in a good location, for the town and the seafront. with all the bars and cafes. Also a good location for the start of a hike to beachy head through to seven sisters, then back which was the purpose of my stay.

The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable. They clean every two days but always ask you if you need to change towels or re-switch the water or the shampoo.The decoration is very nice and simple, with modern pictures and new furniture. The breakfast is included with a nice dining room with sea views as well as with a very comfortable staff, which is still pending to make you comfortable. The hotel is very comfortable and very comfortable.
