Very pleasing on the eye when you enter. Large and well run hotel. We got a double and single bed in the room when we were one couple! No sea view, but big enough window to having a sneaky fag out of! We only stayed one night but breakfast was adequate and plentiful of cereal, fruit and juice. Crossaints and... More

Just enjoyed another lovely break at this very friendly hotel. Even the weather cannot spoil your stay. You are made to feel so welcome and the food is so good with lots of choice. The new bar is so well done with the most relaxing feel. The ceiling is something that is so lovely that it just has to be... More

The staff were very welcoming and informative. Howeevr I was put in a room on the 2nd floor, I was given a spare key as the prior occupants... More

Thank you for your review of the hotel. As the room you were in does have good WiFi, we were disappointed with your comment. Therefore, there must have been an issue and we will investigate. Although, some rooms are a few steps up from the lift, we do also have rooms on the same level for those who cannot manage... More

We have just returned from a 4 night break at the New Wilmington where we enjoyed the very comfortable and clean hotel. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, and having taken our elderley mothers, (88 and 91) found that nothing was too much trouble.

My husband and I recently enjoyed 4 nights at the New Wilmington Hotel. The weather wasn't very kind but the hotel made up for it. Amazingly clean, comfortable, friendly and hard working staff and a good varied menu! We had booked this break with Leons of Stafford who also gave us great service. Many thanks to all!

We have been to the New Wilmington for long weekend theatre breaks twice this year&as usual the weather was lovely(the devil looks after his own!). The recently refurbished bar lounge certainly uplifted our spirits:with a street view of lovely spring flower containers- the person in charge of the hotel decor design detail deseves an award of some sort.

I was in town for the Eastbourne Half Marathon and wanted a comfortable and inexpensive hotel. This one is just around the corner from the Grand Hotel. The public areas look newly decorated and are nicely appointed. Further into the hotel, it is much more like the typical seaside hotel you'd expect: beige, artex walls and narrow hallways. My room...
