Recent Reviews in Old Town Hastings

The Lookout Rye

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the English breakfast choices. Wished I could've stayed there longer! Tarek was very helpful and he was polite and cordial. As was the nice lady in the morning!(I forgot her name!) What a beautiful place to have a hotel!"

The Chatsworth Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our room - Junior Suite with the biggest ever bed and fabulous view from the window overlooking the sea, with the pier to the left and the bandstand to the right. Sitting at the window became my "happy place" for our three days! The Jacuzzi bath was a nice touch but we should have asked Reception for a suction handle for the wall as there was nothing for my husband to hold onto in order to stand up and get out. The breakfasts were excellent with a good choice of hot meals cooked fresh to order. Personally I would have liked more choice of fruit but the fresh fruit on offer was adequate. The free glass of wine in the piano bar on the first night was a nice touch and we were delighted to be entertained on the piano all three nights by Annie, singing and playing (she has a beautiful voice), and Alan with his stunning playing of Jazz and Blues etc. The staff were most helpful. Thank you Chatsworth Hotel for a very enjoyable stay."

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne

8/10 Good

"The hotel is a little tired. There was no soap in the ensuite, but the staff were excellent. A minor point but the road was closed and there was no parking (ahead of Airbourne) so there was parking available foc with a permit on the local streets and they could have advised this ahead of time to manage uncertainties on arrival. They also advertise they want well dressed diners in the restaurants which is both offputting and not really true!"
