Top Eastbourne Hotel Reviews

da Vinci Hotel

da Vinci Hotel

8/10 Good
"Very good hotel at a reasonable price with friendly staff. Double room was small but OK. Not as plush as some but spotless, with a comfortable bed. The desk isn't manned 24/7 but there is a number to call if no one is there. Athough there is free parking this means parking on the street in zones where parking sign has an H and the hotel picks up the bill. In the end I didn't have too much difficulty finding a space. I stayed on a Saturday night and parking in many streets is free from 18.30 and all day Sunday. I would happily stay there again."
