I stayed at the Mowbray to see the Sussex Coast and Kent. The hotel proved to be a great choice. My room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. I had an easy walk to Eastbourne’s board walk, great local places to eat and a nice building btw.

It’s very old fashion hotel, which I have prepared for that. The condition of the property is worst than I expect. The size of room is just like London. You probably could find something better if you book advance somewhere else in Eastbourne.

Problems with a parking space. Misunderstanding of the system with breakfast. There is no drinking water in the room. If any drink is left cold in the evening, it will be hot in the morning. The lack of a refrigerator, and the heat, are definitely tests. The room is hot, there is a poorly working fan. The shower cabin is not complete. Of the 2 doors, there is only one. Switch water and shower modes, periodically fail. On the positive side: cleanliness and order, cleaning in the rooms. Coffee is very tasty in the room.

Very disappointed. Wouldn’t recommend.

The location was great but that is the only good thing about The Mowbray. As soon as we entered the lobby there was a damp smell. No one to greet you or help with your bags etc. The bed was horrible, it was uncomfortable and the two mattresses that made up a double, constantly came apart with a sheet that didn’t fit properly. The duvet came out of the cover too. The room and bedding smelt of damp and the shower was dirty and mouldy. Glad we only stopped for the one night. We didn’t have breakfast, so can’t comment on that. If you find it difficult mobility wise, there are big steps up to the property and although there is a lift to the rooms, I’m not sure it went down to where the breakfast was being served and there were lots of steps down to it. I would not recommend The Mowbray and for the money I would have expected a lot more.

The stay was very good. The room was nice. I like the fact there are codes on the doors rather than having to worry about a key. Only minor issue is that the WiFi didn’t work.

Definitely not an 8.6. More like a 6

King size bed was 2 old singles pushed together with a wafer thin double quilt which was smaller than the bed. Old flat pillows. Room was freezing cold. No towels. Cold showers with mould all over the tile grout. Won’t book again

Didn’t get what we booked

Booked a superior triple room which should have had a separate sofa bed and partial sea view, was given a standard double room with a view of the theatre inland. The bathroom is so tiny you cannot comfortably dry yourself after showering without leaving the bathroom. Stayed two nights, no clean towels after first night, quilt had a urine stain, blinds dirty. We regularly visit Eastbourne, first and last stay here

The hotel was under new management and was not being run well. The two young men were trying their best but obviously they had no guidance as to how to run it. There were no towels available until our second day when they gave the two of us one bath towel between us. The breakfast was also not up to standard, especially since the website was still the old owners one and showed delicious, well presented food. This hotel should not still be showing an AA 4 star grading as this is totally misleading. I complained to Expedia on Monday morning but haven’t heard back from you as yet.

Not my first stay and it won't be the last

It was my 2nd stay in Mowbray. Very friendly and lovely hotel. I think I booked last available room, small single bed one. Even though it was very small, it was furnished in a way it was very convenient and comfortable for my short stay. Large windows give a spacey feeling. Small en-suite bathroom could use a little bit of renovation but everything was in working order so no issues there. Staff was super nice and accommodating. Great location, 3 minutes from the sea, 10 minutes walk from the train station

Everything in the room was very old and not very clean. The towels had holes in them. The bathroom and shower were very narrow and difficult to move around in for two petite women. The shower pressure was very low, the toilet was poorly designed and set up. There was noone at reception whenever we were at the property. One of the windows could not be opened, which made our top level room very hot and stuffy! It was not a 4 star experience as labeled in Expedia.

Not much space in the room or bathroom. Window was difficult to move. Worst part was bathroom. Mildew stains on ceiling and felt dirty. It really needs major updating. Glad we only had a 2 night stay. Would definitely not return.

Self check in, when we arrived the main door had a code which we had not been given so i called the number, the gentleman come and opened the door and said checkin is not till 2, my email states 12. He said the room was not ready and come back at 2, gave us the code for the front door and room. When we arrived nothing was said about the resturant or comunal area both had codes so couldnt access them, and wasnt told about breakfast times. No towels in the room. On the second day we discovered the door was not locking, we reported this aswell as not haveing any towels the door lock was fixed within a few hours but still no towels Room smelt of damp, shower area not clean( mold limescale) and push button on tiolet was broken but working

Rude and vitriolic

Roy, I presume the owner, is so rude it’s almost comical. I booked a suite for my son and I, and requested single beds placed as far apart as possible. On arrival, they were 4 inches apart, so we moved one of them to the other side of the room. It was on wheels so took a few seconds. The exposed carpet was filthy so we left the bed where it was in the morning to allow them to give it a rare vacuuming. Roy actually phoned me after we’d left to remonstrate..he was almost apoplectic that we had dared to move a bed! I’d like to know what award the ‘award winning breakfast’ has won? Maybe the most anaemic and unappealing sausage? Or perhaps an award for cramming the most tables in to a tiny basement breakfast room? To be fair I’ve had worst breakfasts but also many far better The hotel is tired and dated but the owner is incredible..I’m still feeling a bit stunned by his tirade
