Top East Sussex Hotel Reviews

The Chatsworth Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Considering the Airshow was on when we stayed, it was very good."

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

8/10 Good

"We stayed for the East Bourne air show- a very hot weekend. We had a spacious room around the back somewhere without air conditioning, although a fan was provided (and we took one with us) and being out the glare of the sun we did not melt. Breakfast, again without aircon was uncomfortable. The hotel is in a great setting but now getting a little tired, that said, I cannot imagine what a refurb would cost nor whether it would be affordable! Breakfast its self was perfect and the staff, many of whom I suspect were draft in for the busy weekend, were nothing short of excellent. I will be going back next year, and would recommend it to others."

The Lookout Rye

8/10 Good

"Overall the hotel was a lovely place to stay. A perfect location for exploring Rye. The staff were all excellent and extremely helpful and friendly. We stayed for one night and the breakfast was superb. The only complaint was the state of the little balcony we had which over looked the car park. It would have taken minutes to sweep the dirty floor, pull up the weeds that looked as though they’d been there for weeks and maybe put a pot plant on the table. The table and chairs were rusty but just about acceptable. All 3 balconies were in the same state which was a shame as they could have looked lovely with just a few minutes of tlc and imagination. Having said that I would definitely go back."

Marine Parade Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean hotel our room was very spacious modern lovely bathroom air conditioning great area close to beach and shops Ahmed the manager is amazing couldn't do enough for us if we called or messaged him he was there in minuites with a smile very polite and very good at his job welcoming and a lovely guy look forward to going back in the future"

Cavendish Hotel

8/10 Good

"We arrived earlier and were helpfully directed by a receptionist (Ozgen) about the location of their on-site car park (available on a first-come, first-served basis); the rate information on a 24-hour basis (£8 instead of £10); and how to log in car's registration number once it's been parked. We were unable to check in early, but left our suitcase securely in Ozgen's hands until we came back. Whilst waiting, we enjoyed basking in the beauty of the sea and the sun (as well as the shingle). We were also witnessed the Airbourne shows with the rest of the beach goers. Our double room was spacious with an entryway, my requested electric fan, and an ensuite bathroom. The main room had hinged picture windows, a mini fridge (cool enough for preservation level), or similar to what their advertised double room images. However, the mirrors' placements are different with no luggage rack, but a luggage cabinet. The actual ensuite bathroom with shower/bathtub combination. In my opinion, it was better because of the inset basin, which provided ample space for toiletries and other bathroom essentials. The entryway had a wardrobe cabinet with the safe and the iron/ironing board. Wish the carpet were thoroughly clean; another set of pillows was provided; and the windows' openings are in different directions to provide more privacy. There was a drinking water dispenser at the reception; and a bar balcony for relaxing nights whilst listening to live background music."
