Top 10 Oaklands Hotels

Very good hotel, the bathroom is large, the room height is enough, the mattress is very comfortable, the sofa is a bit dirty, the key price is still very affordable, it may be that there are fewer people traveling in winter ． did not eat breakfast, so there is no way to evaluate ．

A very good looking building and position on the seafront. The overall experience was pretty much as expected from a classic Victorian seaside luxury hotel Including the fact that it is a little tired in some areas and that it's aspirations for up market service and nostalgic experience are well intentioned. I can't fault the staff wanting to and mostly doing the right thing at the right times. The place is clean and overall a nice place to be in. However thet try and maintain a silver service breakfast, which was a little underwhelming as the staff were very busy and ”naturally” then rather slow and forgetful as a result. The Garden restaurant was similar and sort of ok but underwhelming The food was adequate mostly although I returned a (expensive) tough, undercooked steak and had it removed from the bill - with no problems or argument at least. Our sea view room gave a beatuful vista - although it was a little tired - but very clean and well serviced (no USB chargers maybe an oversight by them though) They reserve parking which is well managed and effective - worth doing if you want to leave your car there for a longer period We didn't use the pools or shops, but they looked perfectly ok and were used by others We actually enjoyed the rather dated, but expected entertainment in the bar and were disappointed that the band were told to quit ealrier than expected as people in rooms above complained of the noise! - it was lounge music for goodness sake and not a rock band! It is not a cheap place and if returning to Eastbourne I would probably still consider it for the overall experience of convenience and intent. Our friends had a recently refurbed room which was very nice, I hope the hotel prospers (it's not cheap), and it was busy/full so no rerason to not contiunue a renovation agenda then ;)

This hotel takes you back in time to twenties/thirties, Beautiful building. Only a short walk away from the sea and the promenade. Staff polite, pleasant and attentive. Bedroom was lovely, had a TV, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, mini fridge and the bathroom had a lovely walk in shower. The view from our window was not great but can’t have everything. Breakfast was fabulous, help yourself to continental pastries, fruit, rolls, meat and cheese etc. then you can select from a menu a luscious full English made up as you like it. Definitely recommend as a place to stay in Eastbourne.
