Top St Leonards-On-Sea Hotel Reviews

The Lookout Rye

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for two nights. Abbie on reception was extremely helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived . The whole atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly. Our rooms were beautiful and quiet, unfortunately the weather was really hot so our upstairs room was too hot so the wonderful Abbie arranged a change of room. Breakfast was delicious with the assistance of Jo. Sitting on the outside terrace was so relaxing. Parking in their car park was easy using Ringo with the hotels help. Perfect location in the centre of town. We would recommend this hotel 100% and are already planning a return trip."

Bannatyne Spa Hotel Hastings

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were friendly and helpful"

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

8/10 Good

"Absolutely lovely stay ! Staff were pleasant !"

The Cumberland Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and attentive staff . Check-in was smooth . Breakfast was very good with good quality ingredients."

Best Western York House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Booked a double room with sea view last minute and we were pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, clean with a fantastic sea view and the reception staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is equally clean although a little dated and showing its age, however don’t let that put you off staying. For the price we paid it was great value plus parking for £2.50 until 11am the next day long the front. Despite no air con, the hotel had thoughtfully made the bed with a sheet only, with the duvet in the wardrobe should it be needed and a fan was also provided."

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 Highlands Inn

10/10 Excellent

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

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 The hotel is very basic, super simple and outdated rooms with simple bathrooms (a bar of soap, no shower gel, nice white towels, good power shower), some stairs to climb.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."
