By a country mile, The Port is the best hotel in Eastbourne, for me. It is also one of my favourites in the whole of the UK. Friendly, professional staff. The whole experience is seamless. the aesthetic is unique and absolutely pitched perfectly. peaceful, beautiful, and highly enjoyable. the bar is stocked and curated to exactly my taste. Location - perfect Parking - easy Menu & kitchen- Excellent.... whoever is on the crew in the kitchen - you are smashing it out of the park consistently - try the lobster roll, essential eating when you are there. The Port is a Belter, if you need to be in Eastbourne - book it, you will not be sorry. Thanks again to the teams for consistently delivering an excellent stay.

Our first time at The View Hotel .. and we were not disappointed ! After arriving in the morning, Reception gave us a discounted parking ticket that allowed us to have parking directly outside the Hotel for just £2.00. After having a day out in Eastbourne Town, we returned to find that the sea view room that had been allocated to us ( Room 712 ) had excellent views of the sea and the Pier. We found the whole Hotel to be clean, tidy and modern - and the same applied to our room. We loved the location of the View Hotel, as we were within 10 min walking distance of the town and local bars and restaurants. Breakfast was excellent with a really good variety and we had a lovely view of the sea from our breakfast table. One of the best breakfasts that we have had in a Hotel in a long time. All staff were really helpful and accommodating and that was really appreciated. Full credit to Claire Prysor-Jones and the View Hotel Team for making out stay a really pleasurable experience and we will certainly be returning again and have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel to others.. Rob & Angela - We had fun at Planet Golf (on the Pier) - Glow In The Dark Crazy Golf - We had a nice meal and enjoyed the live music at The Belgian Cafe - Visited the Wish Tower Memorial - Next to the Wish Tower .. Bistro Pierre ( great menu / food at a good price / lovely views)

Fantastic hotel very clean nice friendly staff beautiful view from our room . Good selection for breakfast and a good full English. Nice and peaceful place good surroundings ie pier right opposite hotel good local restaurants shops etc all round great experience

Service was great, the worker was really lovely and we came at a really late time as we travelled from far so called in to confirm if we could check in late and they were lovely. Security is good as building is locked and guarded at night and the view of beach is lovely. Only downside is hotel needs a revamp, as its quite old some aspects look and feel a bit spooky.

Upon reading past reviews, we wasn't expecting much, we arrived on the first day of the hotel reopening, well, partial reopening, and must say, compared to the images online, the hotel is on another level, smarter, clean, lovely furnishings. We was the first in the room, first to use the new furniture, first to use the new really big smart tv. When we arrived, we was greeted by the Manager, Ashley, who explained everything so clearly to us, from what's happening in the hotel, what we booked, what we can do, and the local area. A little slow to start with, but wasn't his fault, apparently a new system was implemented and he was training another staff member, we was happy to wait as we did arrive the moment they reopened their doors. Also, the team are lovely, friendly and very accommodating, nothing was too little or too big. Breakfast was amazing, pastries, yoghurt, cheese, beverages, fruit etc, again we was hosted on by Ashley, and guess what.....we was checked out by Ashley too, smooth checkout, he asked us how our stay was and wished us a good day, what an asset he is, and such a friendly and funny gentleman. We will definitely recommend and return. Do not worry about negative reviews, we really enjoyed our stay here.

So this place was extremely disappointing! To say dated is being polite. We had booked a 4 night stay. Firstly we arrived and my husband had ti go find parking down a busy main road which you have to pay extra for daily. I took myself to the room only to find the smallest room I've ever seen with the smallest window, it was no bigger than a broom cupboard with the smallest window and it was so hot! There was no fan! I found out later that you have to ask for a fan! Why not leave them in the room when it's hot? It's been the hottest summer. As soon as my husband arrived, he was also little shocked and how small the room was so I called down to reception to find out if they had any bigger rooms and maybe a sea view and luckily there was one avaliable. Of we was staying just a night then I would have made the best of it. It cost another £80 for the upgrade. We went through to the bigger room with a sea view and the lady on reception brough us a fan! It becomes apparent how dated this hotel really is when the pillows on the bed are like rocks. The mattress protector is just old throws layer under the sheets. The bed was two singles pushed together and two single duvets. The beds are old and lumpy. Bearly slept over the 4 nights. The bathroom was terrible! I'm 5ft 3in and the shower over the bath was too low for me. There was hardly any water pressure. There was stains in the old tin like bath. The toilet roll was a tissue paper dispenser. Some random tiles place over the old white tiles over toilet which looked so out of place. Nowhere to put anything in the bathroom. I won't even start with the off coloured grouting. Two plugs in the whole room so had to keep uploading things whenever we used the kettle! One evening when we returned I went to use the small lift and it was full of cleaning stuff! Another occasion when leaving the room we nearly feel over the cable to the hoover which was plugged across our door and the cable was about a foot of the floor and cleaning supplies all over the floor! This hotel has nothing, no charm, no personal touches. With so many hotels in Eastbourne you'd think you'd want to stand out but I don't think anyone's cared about this place since the 80s. I don't tend to complain but for the price it wasn't worth it, you are paying for the location and not a decent room. The lady who upgraded us was lovely, she was the only good point to this place. I did laugh at the ”no smoking in this vehicle” sticker on the bath of the bathroom door.
