Pros: That the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome and helped me a lot during my stay in Eastbourne even though I was only there for 1 evening.

Cons: The room had squeeky floor boards which was a bit frustrating.

Pros: Convenient to where a relative was staying in a Care Home

Cons: Smoke in the Bar

Cons: Hotel room was in dire need of modernisation. Shower was very old, tiling and fittings very tired. Below standard for a 3 star hotel.

Pros: the spacious public rooms and the service of drinks and coffee to guests including eighteen month old twins

Cons: evening meals not up to scratch

Pros: Staff were helpful and courteous. The ambiance of the Hotel was pleasing.

Pros: staff were very helpful

Cons: Someone smoked a cigar in the lounge! I will be happy when the smoking ban in is effect. The bed was too soft for my taste.

Pros: The location is very good, right on the sea front with public parking on the roads around the hotel. My stay was off season, so the hotel was quiet, and we were actually discouraged from spending our money in the hotel! The comment from the eastern european staff member behind the bar/reception "I wouldn't recommend the beer, the pumps haven't been used for a while" made us decide to eat (and drink) elsewhere. He even gave us directions. However, the breakfast was very good and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The showers are also great.

Cons: I really can't complain about anything in the hotel itself aside from the evening staff dissuading us from staying in and actively encouraging us to take our custom elsewhere for evening meal and drinks.

Pros: the hotel was excellent good location just across the road from the sea very clean and friendly hotel nothing was to much trouble very tastfully decorated by the owner the food was excellent could fault it would recommend to friends and family and will definant stay there again close to sea shops and things to do

Pros: The first member of staff to great us was lovely, young guy with short, light coloured hair, think he was local. Very friendly and helpful, excellent. We were given a room away from main part on third floor as the place was packed with very loud international students, so our room was quieter. Had breakfast twice the staff cooked us vegetarian sausages to order. Plenty of food, pastries, toast, fruit, yoghurt, cooked items for English breakfast. Lady who cleaned our room was very polite. Parking permit was given to us for £1 a day, just put it on each evening to cover next day, worked well. You just have to find a space on the seafront as close as you can.

Cons: Unfortunately the day we arrived a pair of men's pants were under the beds which had been pushed together to make a king sized bed. I was with my daughter and we wanted a twin room. The room was incredibly hot with a very small window which barely opened. View was lovely but hard to see round netting/ close stonework.They separated beds the next night, but the pants which we left by the bin weren't taken as they must have thought they were ours (despite us both being women! I guess they couldn't make the assumption though) When I raised what had happened the day we left, the guy on the desk, who was dark haired kind of Spanish looking/sounding, argued with me that I should have reported it on the first day. I said it was kind of embarrassing. He just kept telling me that "next time something like this happens in a hotel you should report it so we can deal with the cleaners'. It was like he was telling me what to do in a hotel. We are well-travelled! He was pretty much shouting at me as I left which made me feel horrible and put a damper on the day. What bothered me was it was extremely hot and the cleaners had a lot to do, I felt he was just going to fire someone over it. Breakfast was cleared away at 10 very promptly, despite the fact we'd had to wait 20 minutes for our vegetarian sausages. Lots of people who appeared to be staff seemed to wander around a lot not doing much. Often no one on the front desk and no security to the building as you didn't need a key to get to the lifts/stairs/room areas. Trying to cross the road outside is like dicing with death! Traffic is crazy but beach is opposite only a few yards away. Eastbourne- hmm bit dodgy not great! Pier is lovely though.

Pros: Clean, bright and comfortable accomodation. Polite efficient staff . Good food. Value for payment.

Cons: No dislikes

Pros: Welcoming, efficient check-in, room as described with the facilities one would expect

Cons: None

Pros: We booked a twin room and it was very spacious. As it was a corner room, it had windows on two sides with pleasant views. Great to see a proper bath tub and not just a shower! Excellent breakfast - service and food. Live natural yoghurt, and tasty proper sausages. Very cosy, and a traditional British seaside hotel. It was very helpful for the hotel to supply parking vouchers for street parking outside.

Cons: Nothing major. It would be perfect if it had sea views, but it is one block from the sea (which I was aware of when booking).

Pros: very clean bedroom , staff excellent, food very good, enjoyed my 4 days thanks

Pros: Location very close to beachfront

Cons: Felt like we had booked into old age home! No young people at breakfast just old people.

Pros: Room was clean and comfortable. Radio alarm was very useful. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: Shower was not very warm and a bit of a trickle.

Pros: Price

Cons: Early breakfast on a sunday - only 1 sitting at 8.30 am

Pros: Nice quiet hotel, staff very friendly and close to tennis courts/town centre and beach

Cons: Shower water pressure was poor and curtains were very thin thus woken by sun into window very early.

Pros: Locality and adjacency to railway station and town centre Did make me toast as too early for fixed time breakfast

Cons: 8.30am breakfast was too late for business meetings - no flexibility Had difficulty actually attracting attention to gain access on arrival

Pros: Friendly staff. Close to Devonshire Park for the tennis.

Cons: No flexibility on breakfast times - set at 8.30am on a Saturday!

Pros: Thehotel was clean and staff very friendly

Cons: I would like to take my mother there but found it not very good for wheelchair users

Pros: The fact that you had rooms available over Airbourne and for that the location is excellent.

Cons: Probably more a personal preference than a complaint but I have never found the dining room furnishing to be as good as at other 3* hotels. It is not as good as the Chatsworth or Lansdowne which I would chose above the Mansion if all else was equal. I have no strong views on the next two questions

Pros: Very nice clean place that was close to the pier, shopping and the beach. The staff was helpful and courteous, and friendly.

Cons: No

Pros: The hotel was adequate, but is dated and needs to be modernised.

Pros: The hotel is on the seafront which gives brilliant views. The Staff were courteous and friendly and did try to help us when things went wrong. I also watched them with the mainly elderly guests and they were very patient and helpful.

Cons: The first room we stayed in had a tv that looked as if it belonged in a museum.... to be fair when we complained they replaced it with a new flat screen tv. The Shower was disconnected and looked as if it had been like that for a long time. When we were given a different room....no tv... and no kettle... and they could not give us one..... the hotel is being refurbished...but when I pay to stay in a hotel I do not expect to have to complain before I get a reasonable service. I asked for a room accessible by an elderly person and had to go down 9 steps to get to room.

Cons: Unable to get a coffee at 22.10 saturday night,no hot water in the room on both mornings,dinning room ran out of bacon at breakfast no substitute offered,diiner must be the worst I have eaten,other guests were of the same opinion,and monday mornig breakfast was cold must have been cooked for hours

Pros: No good points

Cons: The staff were unfriendly and rude. The breakfast was cold. The general up keep of the building was poor. There was wires hanging out the ceiling etc. Our shower did not work properly, the toliet did not flush properly.

Pros: The beachfront locaqtion

Cons: The bedroom & ensuite had obviously had the start of refurbishment and the ensuite espically was not up to standard. The heat of the hot water coming from the hot tap I thought was dangerous for the elderly or the young children.

Pros: The room was very spacious.

Cons: Electric fan did not work.

Pros: Friendly and clean.

Cons: We were in one of the bedrooms that had not been refurbished.
