Property is in a great position and is great value for money. Room 12 was spacious and comfy. Eclectic furnishings add a quirky feel to the place. Would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

Pleasant Room

The room was pleasantly decorated and well equipped. However, there were a few stray hairs here and there. The bed was roomy but lumpy. The seagulls were very noisy, but the earplugs provided worked well. The hotel is situated in a great area. We would have preferred a sea view rather than a view of the car park.

Love this hotel

I love this hotel. Friendly and feels safe. Only down side this time was my toilet and shower was across the hall, through some doors and at the bottom of the stairs. I was provided with a robe and it really wasn't as much of an issue as I first imagined.

Worst bed ever, unclean, rude, AVOID!

My room had the worst bed I’ve ever experienced in all my years of staying in hotels. I expect that any mattress lying on the side of the road would be better than this. It completely sagged in the middle with springs that poke into your back. I sat on it for two minutes and had instant back pain. There was no way I could sleep on this without debilitating back pain so did not stay more than 15 minutes. It is astounding that an establishment could actually think it is ok to charge people money to sleep on this. The hotel is not clean either. The toilet has grime in places, floors not properly clean, especially the stairwell. The windows do not open properly in the room. The lady on the front desk is rude, completely unhelpful and contemptuous. They charge £10 an hour to leave a bag behind after you check out- I have never experienced this kind of exploitation and lack of generosity from any of the thousands of hotels I have stayed. I left and went back home rather than inflicting a stay at this hotel on myself.

I stayed in room 11. The room is nicely decorated, light and airy with an uninterrupted view of the sea. The hotel is nicely decorated throughout.. It can be noisy at night being situated on the main road but I was prepared for this after reading reviews prior to staying. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the town center and a ten minute walk to Hastings. Overall I would definitely stay at this hotel and would book the same room
