"Only stayed one night but found all staff were exceptionally helpful and professional. Our room was furnished in a modern stylish fashion and was spotlessly clean. The view from our balcony was exactly as one would wish ~ panoramic span of Eastbourne seafront. Whilst being extremely close to the beach and sea, the double glazed windows and sliding door were so effective that there was virtually no noise entering the room. Would not hesitate to recommend The View Hotel to friends and will certainly visit again. Thank you very much for a lovely, relaxing short stay!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
