The hotel looked very nice on entering with some very nice original features. I had paid extra for a sea view room and was looking forward to getting settled in. The room was extremely small and the bathroom even smaller and the sea view window also very small, very disappointing. The staff you could not fault but we had dinner... More

Stayed there in Sep 2011 for 4 nights. The check in was smooth and the receptionist was very kind to upgrade me to a double sea view room without any extra charge or request. The housekeeping was perfect with ample tea and coffee and biscuits available in room. A typical traditional hotel. Brand new carpets on the corridors, stairs lobby.... More

the rooms we were in were basic and small and at the back of the hotel, the common rooms were better but some of the decorations were a bit unusual,the staff were very helpful and friendly,the evening entertainment was a bit hit and miss. the hotel is a ideally placed for the centre of Eastbourne and local attractions.

I got a good deal on staying here by phoning the central reservation desk after checking out the website. I stayed for two nights breakfast and dinner for a total of £114! The restaurant is as it ought to be, lovely white table cloths, cloth serviettes with a lovely view of the sea. The food was really nice and served... More

We took my elderly mother to Eastbourne because of the level seafront, the hotel is on the front. The staff were very friendly and helped sort out the street parking where you need a voucher each day(50p) to park on the streets around the hotel. Our double room was sea facing but the curtains were ripped and the cleaners had... More

I think some of the previous reviews have been extremely harsh. This is a lovely old hotel on the seafront at Eastbourne. It's not trendy and modern, but that would be out of place in a town like Eastbourne. It is all very clean and well-maintained, to say that it is an Edwardian hotel. I was pleasantly surprised, actually. I... More

Stayed here for 2 nights, safe to say I'll NEVER return. The beds are terribly uncomfortable, lumpy. I was put in a room (37) that is no bigger than a closet, with no hot water in the shower. They moved me to another room the following day, which was bigger, but not that much better, and terribly noisy - just... More

The location is good for this hotel, however the shower was awful at random times of the day the only temperature was scalding hot and the water pressure was terrible. On the last day we were trying to have a lie in before checkout and the cleaner wanted to clean our room (before we left, surely it can't be clean... More

Stayed for a long weekend at The Chatsworth in March 2011. Hotel has a great location and view, virtually opposite the pier, beach and promenade and is just a couple of minutes walk from the main town centre. The room was clean and tidy with all mod cons including flat screed TV. Bathroom had a few missing tiles and the... More
