When we arrived it was raining and we were kept on the front door step for 5 mins until a very quiet french girl finally answered and made us walk round to the back of the building where we were shown into a converted shed, which turned out to be the rooms, they were not even part of the house!... more

My girlfriend and I have just returned from a weekend at le Chateau Japonais. It was, we both agreed, a huge disappointment. The hotel is basically a Victorian semi-detached house in a residential neighbourhood, a long way away from the Old Town (the only bit of Hastings really worth visiting). Payment was demanded 'up front' (something I normally don't do... more

Me and my husband booked on laterooms so did not pay the full £130 but had a nightmare finding the place and not signposted clearly at all. We found it eventually and the front door was open so anyone of the street could walk in. No staff around and after 4 attempts a member of staff appeared. We were then... more

we have just returned from le chateau japonais and are seriously considering booking again later in the month! while floating in the hot outdoor spa at two in the morning on a cold november night i marvelled at the fact that a couple of reviews i had come across were negative.can only conclude that there is no pleasing some people...... more

We were greeted by a friendly face who called us in and walked us through a dark hallway to our room. The the WOW! factor kicked in.... A lovely presented bed, a... more

Le Chateau Japonais - 5 of us stayed at this guest house on the night of 23rd/24th August 2008 (bank holiday). We had 2 rooms and paid £130 each for which we expected something special. If you are content to spend the night using the water facilities (Japanese loo, jacuzzi and stone pool) all of which are superb, and are... more

We stayed here for just one night and were unsure what exactly to expect. The website of the hotel isn't great and there weren't a large number of reviews to go on! When we arrived we found a pleasant and nicely appointed guest house. If you are expecting a 5 star hotel you will be disappointed, this is most definately... more

My husband and I spent two nights at Le Chateau Japonais last December 2007. The hot spa in the Japanese garden makes it a worthwille trip! The wind was blowing but I still went to enjoy the spa, it was wonderful! My back ache was gone! We relaxed there as long as we wanted. In fact, the nice lady told... more

Stayed for two nights in June 2007. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room was large and the facilities very good. Fridge in room, coffee making facilities, good TV and satellite, whirlpool bath, excellent and comfortable bed and use of very nice outdoor hot spa....very relaxing. The accomodation was in a very nice quiet residential area but still... more
