Top St Leonards-On-Sea Hotel Reviews

The Cumberland Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really good location. Nice breakfast. Helpful staff. State of room/bathroom was good but not great - lots of the hotel was very hot but they provided a fan which was very helpful."

Bannatyne Spa Hotel Hastings

8/10 Good

"Generally really good, just a couple of issues. Breakfast was ok but wasn't anything special."

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

8/10 Good

"Absolutely lovely stay ! Staff were pleasant !"

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 The hotel is very basic, super simple and outdated rooms with simple bathrooms (a bar of soap, no shower gel, nice white towels, good power shower), some stairs to climb.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