“Hastings hotel right on the sea.”

We arrived w/lots of luggage, since we were just starting a 2 week jaunt to various places. The woman at the desk saw us struggling to get in the revolving door, so she rushed to "flatten" the door for our convenience. The hotel is beautiful, old & regal-looking inside & out. Service was very good, although we needed staff to come sort out a problem w/the heat & lights. They did so immediately. Our room was really 1 1/2 rooms, we were thrilled! More windows to enjoy viewing & listening to the sea. I love hotels w/windows that open. Good Wifi access. Comfortable beds, LOTS of room. Very quiet, though there were lots of other runners staying there also. Convenient to bus & taxi. Less than a block from a good restaurant (Azur). The bike/running path is right across the street, so we could watch the race stragglers from our room & cheer them on. We'll stay there again.

“lovely traditional hotel”

A lovely traditional hotel with lots of character, very big room newly decorated, staff friendly in a great position opposite the beach away from busy hastings which is about 15 min walk along the beach.

“Spacious room right in front of the beach”

A spacious room with sea view was what we really wanted and very satisfied with it. You can fall asleep listening sound of the sea! There are some shops nearby which are convenient. Free internet connection was very useful. Breakfast wasn’t great and quite expensive for what it was. A long seaside walk to Hastings town centre so it was good for us as we preferred to stay a bit of distance from the busy tourist area. If you want to have exciting night out, there isn't really anything nearby, and the 'piano bar' in the hotel did not have any piano player on Friday//Saturday night when we were staying there. But overall, we are happy with our stay in this hotel as we just wanted quiet weekend on the beach and it was a good value considering how much we paid for the room.

“Grand but basic”

Beautiful building with big grand room but very basic. Bathroom was very cold with a gale blowing through the extractor fan. It was a rough night but i would have thought that this should have been catered for as its on the sea front. Was cold in bed but didn't want to get up and get more cold looking for extra blankets. Didn't use any of the hotels other facilities so cannot comment.

“Some bits fine, others in need of an upgrade”

was obviously a great hotel ten years ago; now in need of an upgrade. However, staff very friendly and tried hard, and some our main course at dinner was great, other courses Ok. But overall OK at the price; would not pay more for this
