me and my husband stayed at the hydro on our wedding night. the floor our room was on the landing was lined with matresses leaning up against the wall, it was like walking through their storage area!! thought this was very unproffesional!! the room itself was nice as was the breakfast. 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 stayed her for one night (two days) on a training course. I read the comments on here, and wasn’t expecting the hotel to be very good, personally though I though it was brilliant. It is true that the hotel caters mainly for the older clientele, but all the guests seemed to be relaxed and having a good time. Though... more

We have stayed at the Hydro Hotel in Eastbourne several times, and this year it was just as enjoyable as ever. Admittedly it does attract many older people, but we had small children with us who loved the swimming pool, the children's teas in the conservatory, and the safety and freedom of the lovely garden with its putting green.
