A very comfortable place to stay, at a sensible price. Staff are top notch, nothing too much trouble. It's got that old world charm with all the modern facilities that we've come to expect. The clients are 'on the mature side' so wouldn't recommend it for youngsters. The hotel is located on the western side of Eastbourne, in a residential... More

A very grand hotel, with very well manicured gardens (despite the recent bad English weather). Lifts are small but very good working order. We had a ballroom dancing function on the Saturday evening on the first floor which consisted of a few elderly persons - even if they got the lift, there were still a few stairs to climb as... More

An excellent hotel offering particularly good deals for two (or more) night's stay. The three course evening meal was the highlight of our stay. Staff very helpful. On our last visit we were upgraded to a seaview room which is well worth the small supplement. The wifi is free for one (continuous) hour but requires a password.

I did not eat in the hotels restaurant, as there are good eating places in the town center Situated about a mile from the promenade in a hilly area .Although walk able ,... More

The hotel is up a rather steep hill so if you are unfit it may be a struggle if you are walking. The room was imaculate and the bed enormouse and very comfortable.

Recently I attended a ladies networking lunch at the Hydro. We were in the small conservatory next to the main restaurant. When I arrived the tables were beautifully laid out for lunch and the menu looked so good it was quite difficult to choose what to have. I went for the vegetarian option (even though not veggie) and was really... More

This was the third visit by members of my local bridge club. There were 28 in the party and we were all again impressed with the accommodation, service and food in the restaurant. There is an olde worlde charm and very relaxing atmosphere and nothing too much trouble for the friendly and efficient staff. There was a delay for a... More

What a lovely old fashioned welcome at the hydro, having spent Easter weekend here at a friends wedding we were charmed by the olde world charm that the hydro offers what it lacks in modern day facilities it more than makes up for in friendly ambience.!!! It was truly like stepping into a scene from an Agatha Christie movie but... More

Pros: - On arrival we were upgraded to a room with a sea view which I was pleased about given that I thought I was paying slightly over the odds for the room. The view was marvelous - looking over the beach and the white cliffs towards the end of the bay. - Reasonable sized room with coffee/tea facilities and... More
