Stayed at the big sleep August 09. Had a lovely stay. Paid £70 for the room via a booking site (googled a few). Was very pleasently surprised to find that we could park outside for 50p (yes, 50p!) for 24 hours. Very convenient. I suppose that's eastbourne for you, but we're used to spending £15 a night to park in... more

Book early. Cheap and comfortable with a wee bit of cool and trendy. Family rooms have plenty of space. Small bathrooms. Wouldn't like to spend a lot of time in the rooms but the public areas are very welcoming. Breakfast relaxed and filling ( no full cooked but extensive buffet). 10min walk to pier. 2 mins to Grand Hotel. more

I have just come back from a four night stay at The Big Sleep, Eastbourne. For a budget hotel it was very comfortable indeed. I was stayng with my mother and my two dogs. We were all made to feel really welcome, the staff can't do enough for you. I loved the wacky decor and the bright colours everywhere. Great... more

We stayed one Sunday night and the main thing that impressed us was the quality of the staff. We met several different staff members during our stay and without exception they were friendly, courteous and most helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a sea view room which had everything we could want for a one night stay. We,... more

Stayed for one night to attend a wedding in the Grand Hotel and didn't want to pay Grand Hotel prices. Got what we paid for, plus a free parking permit for the Square outside. The girls on reception were friendly, the room and bathroom were clean. Checking in early was no problem. On the downside the plumbing was very noisy... more

First impressions were great: the decor is light, funky, and a real contrast to the rest of Eastbourne. The staff are young, courteous and helpful. We were all set to have a lovely relaxing weekend. However, once in the room, the experience went downhill. We didn't mind the furry curtains, again, that's a funky touch. The large photo of a... more

The Big Sleep is basically a funked up Travel Lodge. The hotel is stylish and in a great location but there are certainly no frills. Only small sachets of basic toiletries are provided, the wall mounted hairdryer was the worst I've used for many years and the towels are minute. On the day that I stayed hot water also seemed... more

This hotel was fantastic. After I booked the my room through the Big Sleep Hotel website, I called to double check that my room was confirmed (Although I got booking confirmation Emailed to me). I then asked if my room could be changed to a Sea View. The polite woman on the phone was able to change this for me... more

Just spent a night in Eastbourne for business and decided to choose an alternative to the Travelodge which I had found a little run down although value for money. The Big Sleep was modern and fresh with really helpful staff. The lounge area is pretty impressive and the rooms are modern and although a little sparse, have all the key... more
