We have stayed at the Cavendish every year since 2001 at least once a year whilst visiting relatives. During that time we have seen a huge refurbishment programme take place and the hotel has improved significantly. It is a traditional but very comfortable, well appointed hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Our seaview room had huge picture windows and... more

Having just returned from the Cavendish hotel for a weekendwith my boyfriend, i cant rate the Cavendish high enough, before staying at any hotel i always read reviews on hotel's and ive realised you need to always take the reviews with a pinch of salt and not read in to them very much. Firstly the location of the hotel is... more

This hotel is such a let down. It was a birthday present from my partner, who booked 2 nights spa break for me as a gift. It was not cheap (£550). The hotel is located conveniently, by the sea. But we came in October, so obviously we did not plan to spend any time by the sea, because it is... more

The only good thing was the stunning sea view. The hair-dryer had failed an electrical test but was still in the room for us to use. We couldn't close the window (it was wedged open constantly). The decor was dated, bland and very depressing. Not even any flowers and this was the 'Bridal suite'?!!! Our double bed was 2 singles... more

The Cavendish Hotel is a great hotel with old fashion charm. The hotel has a fantastic facade and is ideally located on the water just down from the pier and within three minutes walk of the city centre. Check-in and out was hassle free and the service generally was very good. The room was small but functional and had all... more

We arrived in Eastbourne with the firm intention of staying at The Grand Hotel, having fallen in love with the building. We were shown a scrubby room, with a diabolical bathroom carpeted in dingy green. Nor was it cheap, and when we remarked on the condition of the room we were told that people who come to the Grand are... more

From reception to check out, the staff are courteous, helpful and efficient. Do book in the newer section for big picture windows on the sea and spacious rooms. Breakfast choices excellent. Snacks in the bar are ok and the Movenpik ice cream is a great treat. Dinner so-so. Conveniently situated, walk to town, along the seafront, easy access to carpark.... more

We stayed at the hotel during Airbourne and found it to be reasonably good. The room was fairly large, but the bathroom was tiny and far too hot. There did not seem to be any air coming in to it at all. We treated ourselves to a balcony room so that we could watch the aircraft should we want to.... more
