Top Eastbourne Hotel Reviews

The View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"People were great and the hotel was excellent"

Eastbourne Riviera Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleased with 2 night stay at beginning of October. The staff were friendly, my single room was clean & served my requirement well. I had the breakfast on one morning & it was nicely cooked & well presented. Well positioned on seafront & not far from nearby roads which have no parking restrictions, albeit the reception desk can provide a parking permit (which I think was only £2.50) for the seafront road. Would definitely stay again if visiting Eastbourne."
