I stayed at the Abbey for two night for my wedding The room was great , clean , bright and had everything we needed It even had sky available on the tv The bathroom was a good size and again clean and functional The morning of the wedding all my bridesmaids and 4 little flower girls came to get ready with me This was not a problem at all The team were fantastic and very helpful When we left the room to go to the wedding we rushed out and left the room in a bit of a mess When we arrived back my best friend needed to go to the room to find it had been completely sorted and tidied so when me and my husband went up that evening it was all ready for our arrival They gave us a room at the back of the hotel that led into the garden which again was perfect , it meant anyone of my party that wanted to use the room could get access easily We had breakfast the next morning and both being vegetarian were a little worried it may be bland as some can be but this was great Fresh, hot and exactly what we needed to start the day It’s a great place and a great location Thank you

The property is very convenient for National Trust visits, and onsite parking behind the premises is very convenient. Check in until 10pm is handy too as we arrived at 21:59 due to traffic conditions. I already knew that if we were in the attic that our room would likely be sub-par. We were, and it was. The attic landing is musty, doors and ceilings very low, very much feeling like servants quarters. the hotel management are making an effort with redecoration, but this cannot hide the fact that fixtures and fittings need replacing too. Water pressure is so low in the attic that showering is impossible, so set the bath running ahead of time if you want to be clean. My booking showed a photo of a four-poster bed - nope, a double pushed up against the wall for no apparent reason is what we had in a room big enough to be laid out better. We paid under £45 on this occasion, and at that price would stay again. The Italian Restaurant on the ground floor serves breakfast nice and early. To check out, simply drop your key in the box outside the building.

Enormous rooms, delicious food at both dinner and breakfast, very reasonable bar prices and luxury all round (even without time to use the spa facilities!) but unfortunately, very much a case of ”you pay for what you get” - so if you can find a good offer for a mini-break here, go for it!

Having been slightly apprehensive about booking this establishment due to the lack of TripAdvisor and other mixed reviews, we decided to go with our gut and book, and are really glad that I did!! All the staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived with a nice hot drink on arrival. The bedroom (No.4) was clean, comfortable and had the usual hot drink making facilities within. The bathroom was adequate and the shower over the bath was hot and powerful. Our room was at the front of the building, facing the main road, so although there was some traffic noise, with the sash window closed and the traffic lighter over night, this did not disturb our sleep. Breakfast is served in the ground floor dining room, which is the semi help-yourself cereals, fruit juice and hot drinks, as well as a variety of cooked or continental options to order. These were very tasty and were generously sized portions. We also liked the option of being able to dine in the hotel in the evening. Again there was a good variety menu which was reasonably priced. The food was served hot and promptly. The kitchen is closed for evening meals on a Monday, however the local White Hart Pub Beefeater is a five minute stroll up the road, with also reasonably priced meals. The location of the Guestling Hall Hotel is perfect for visiting East Sussex and places further afield, and with bus stops situated five minutes walk away (adjacent to the White Hart Pub) with regularly hourly buses to either Hastings and Rye, you can leave you car at the Hotel and not have to worry about parking. If you are looking for a top-of-the range boutique hotel then this is not the place for you, however, for somewhere which is comfortable, good value with friendly staff then this hotel delivers. Overall we were made to feel at home and would thoroughly recommend staying here!

This hotel is definitely worth a stay. The rooms were very clean with lovely comfy beds. I personally slept like a log. The breakfast was amazing and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely stay there again. I stayed with my wife and friends for three nights and nobody had any complaints.
