Top St Leonards-On-Sea Hotel Reviews

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

10/10 Excellent

"Another stay at the Grand Hotel, a favourite destination where I have found the service to be variable. The hotel itself is the standout with excellent facilities including the pools. On this visit the service also matched expectations."

Royal Victoria Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely old seaside hotel, mostly very nice, huge double room but in need of an update, especially the bathroom, all very clean and tidy but a bit dated. Breakfast buffet all very good, nice selection and freshly cooked. Staff all very helpful and efficient. These hotels are the very essence of the English seaside, but, cost a fortune to upkeep, and now they have to try and compete with the likes of airb&b! I love these old places and hope that they can continue offering good accommodation with style for many years to come."

The George in Rye

10/10 Excellent

"This is the third time we have stayed at The George . We like the relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the fact you can walk to lots of very nice pubs and restaurants as well as the hotel restaurant."

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."

The Highlands Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A very friendly and nice hotel, also well located and reasonably priced."

Bannatyne Spa Hotel Hastings

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay - much appreciated"

Tower House 1066

10/10 Excellent

"Cost was the best thing about it. I paid under £60 in mid July, Friday before Pirate weekend. Excellent value. Had the option of no breakfast (that would have been extra), which was also good for me. House had so much period charm and people running it were really lovely and friendly. Temperature was too hot for me (they do not have air-con), so my sleep was not the best, but not their fault. No additional toiletries, apart from hair dryer and towels (& toilet roll) you need to bring your own. Also not a negative. I expect that at that cost. Definitely suggest it as great value for money, short walk to St Leonard's rail station. Would recommend to anyone on a budget, like me. XxxxX"

Grand Hastings

8/10 Good

"Do your research before you go, so you are ready for it, but once you do, you may actually enjoy it a lot. The hotel is very basic, super simple and outdated rooms with simple bathrooms (a bar of soap, no shower gel, nice white towels, good power shower), some stairs to climb. I got a small room with no sea view. The hotel is run by a lovely gentleman, very old style, with the handwritten check-in book rather than the computer. During this process he may tell you some stories. It has added so much character to our stay. We were standing at the reception desk for at least 20 minutes chatting. I chose this place for the location and availability on my date. I was worried after reading some reviews, but I wouldn't mind staying again."
