Top St Leonards-On-Sea Hotel Reviews

Cavendish Hotel

8/10 Good

"Enjoyable stay at The Cavendish. Tried to get a coffee in the hotel about 1000am because I had a cousin visiting and nothing available, so had to go out and find a place. The bar we visited on the Saturday evening and the guy working there on his own was very nice, pleasant, helpful and efficient. Nice stay."

The Lookout Rye

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay in a very good location, highlight of the stay was the bed which was amazing and a lovely breakfast. The hotel staff were very polite and helpful."

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."

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."

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."
