Property is a little dated, but obviously it was grand in it's prime. Friendly staff and very accommodating. Beautiful area and scenery. Hoe ever I don't suppose in this climate they have a spare couple of millions to get the place back to it's glorious prime and if I'm being honest I have stayed in much worse

The single room sea view i booked was infact £40 dearer and overlooked the car park. One pillow for the bed. No housekeeping. Toiletries and refreshments had to be got from reception. The one time i went into the bar the bartender seemed unbothered i was waiting to be served and whilst he was pouring my drink i saw an ant crawling over the bar. Yes its an older building but it needs what facilities it does have looked at.

Disappointment
Good room but decor and cleanliness poor. Just look at windowsills, dirty, and flaking paint. At breakfast staff brusque, and tablecloths need wash and iron.

New problem
My grave misgivings re certain Britannia Hotel policies have been aired before - the new problem, this time around, was a "fan" blasting cold air, built into the ceiling, whose existence the maintenance (sic) staff seemed completely surprised me. (The man who visited the room didn't seem to have a clue how it worked - e.g what switches did, why there was an electrical panel in it etc). I'm the sort of person who actually prefers "box rooms", and I've come to expect noisy neighbours in Eastbourne - but uncontrollable cold air is a "new low".

Absolutely shocking I booked 2 night stay but after first night I just wanted to leave. The room was so old, smell of urine very old and dated. The night was unbearably hot with a small old fan blowing hot air couldn’t sleep all night. The property is very very dated with ceiling cracks and damp everywhere. Never use this again.

Look for somewhere else
Booked a room with a double bed but what we got was a double bed with 2 single mattress pushed together so if you wanted to snuggle up someone was on the edge of both mattress with no springs, not a very good sleep at all the breakfast wasn’t that bad although not good enough that we bothered to have evening meal because the restaurant closed at 8pm and that’s far too early after you’ve been out all day and want to freshen up. the room was dated and in bad need of a deep clean and redecoration as it smelt a bit musty it’s such a shame as this could be a jewel in the crown if they just invest a little more money, front desk staff were pleasant and helpful but the restaurant staff were curt and very short with any assistance or questions I wouldn’t stay here again in its current form

Very old and poor Victoria Era Hotel
The Hotel is super old. Everything is very worn out and there is no air conditioning. On the day of the check in, the room is extremely hot and stuffy. The hotel stuff is willing to provide an extra ventilation fan which is small and works like a toy. After staying in the room for 10 minutes, the temperature inside the room is beyond any human being could bear. Under such circumstances, a change of room is requested to the front desk and downgrade to a non seaview room will be accepted. However, the manager and the front desk staff reassign another room and ask us to have a look. the room number is 123. The room is super big and is like a family suite, But it is also look like a haunted house in the Hollywood movie, After staying in that room for 2 minutes, we have decided to check out. Meaning we did not stay in that hotel at all. Will never never book such kind of Victorian era hotels again.

Well situated Eastbourne hotel.
This is an impressive hotel right on the sea front. Unlike some of the others the outside was well painted and presentable. I gave up trying to get an evening meal at the restaurant as it was mostly not open and nothing was displayed to tell us when it would actually be open. The lift is in some serious need of some TLC as it kept on breaking down, although there is a service lift that can be used. That was a fun experience! The room was larger than I expected and, thankfully, quiet. The bathroom was a good size.The only problem was that the was far too hot. This is something out of the control of the hotel and they did provide an electric fan. The staff were friendly and helpful. They printed out the order of play for the tennis tournament, which was very useful.

Cavendish stay for one night
We found the hotel was convenient for the tennis at Devonshire Park. It had lovely views over the seafront. The condition of the hotel was a bit dilapidated although there were building works going on, I assume to update it. We found the Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. The room was old fashioned and enormous. The bathroom and shower were ok. The pillows were too hard and neither of us slept well. The bed was clean though.
