Whilst this hotel is expensive it’s a truly lovely experience to step back in time with the traditional decor and service, comfortable, clean rooms with both an indoor and outdoor pool, breakfast offers great variety, quality and service, dinner menu looks great for adults but not really for children.

i booked a hotel for a anniversary which cost me 530£ in which it was a junior suit with spa and pool facilities available. However upon arrival we were informed that the pool is closed for refurbishment. This is very out of order as if I knew this I wouldn’t have booked this hotel for that price

The Grand Eastbourne is indeed Grand, impressive and located in the seafront which is convenient. As you enter it feels luxurious but it is tired with paint flaking off and carpets coming of the sides. The pool is small and we could see water damage in the ceiling tiles and overall the area didn’t feel very premium. The room we had was ok but it felt more like a 4 star rather than 5. Breakfast was very disappointing. Cheap sausages and bacon served warm and warmed up rather than cooked fresh.Cold beans and uncooked black pudding. Toast never turned up and table only got cleared when we asked. This was the first trip with my wife for the past 2 years as we had managed to leave the kids with a family member.

We stayed for one night in a junior suite as we were 2 adults and a child. Room was large and comfortable. The hotel is very child friendly, and they offer small perks for children like cookies and milk at bedtime, and free juice cocktails at the bar. Hotel dining and service was faultless. We made full use of the Spa services and found the experience very enjoyable.

The hotel had an amazing location seconds away from the beach restaurant literally 10 min walk. Staff at the hotel were so welcoming and made us feel at home. Our suit was very nice and spacious children moaned that their beds were not very comfy ( sofa bed and camp bed) and tv was not in a good location. Spa facilities very good would definitely stay there again.
