Just had another wonderful stay at The Hydro. As always, incredible value for money - dinner bed and breakfast for £55 (side sea view room). The dining room continues to be well managed with waiting staff who are attentive without being intrusive and ensure food gets to the table from the kitchen without delay. The sitting room area is vast,... more

We selected this hotel at random as we booked at the very last minute so got a good deal. We were very pleasantly surprised. It is in a beautiful location up on the cliffs overlooking the sea with a view of Beachy Head and only about a 10 minute walk into town for the more mobile. We loved the grounds... more

Booked for one night,but liked it,so we stayed for two.Both rooms were comfortable.Bath taps were very near the tiles,so might be difficult to use,if one had arthritis. We had breakfast at 7.40am,tables are crowded together,but the place was empty,so what on earth possessed the waiter to put the next couple and then a single man,at both adjacent tables.Picture the scene-a... more

I love staying at the Hydro. OK, it isn't a place for young trendies, and it is more suited to those of a certain age than young families... but it is perfect if you want a quiet holiday with just a bit of class. It isn't a Five Star hotel, and doesn't pretend to be. However, the rooms are comfortable,... more

The rooms are dated and either very cold or very hot. The bathroom we had was really small and there was no where to put toiletries. The beds still have blankets rather than duvets. I was so cold one night I had to sleep with my husbands sweat shirt on. The staff are really helpful and friendly however this hotel... more

Our room had been previously paid for by our... more

It was a last minute idea to stay in Eastbourne rather than travel back and forth to home for work. We found a deal, we had a lovely room overlooking the sea, all clean, big big bed, huge breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff, (they even found us scrabble late at night)! Felt like a 5 star, everything immaculate. Easy... more

I love this hotel so much, my husband are just about to book another visit for my birthday. We are both in our thirties and although as some of the other reviews have pointed out some of the clientel are a bit older that makes no difference at all. Everyone is so friendly, staff and other residents. I cannot fault... more
