Was unable to check in as the hotel was closed received a phone call from a member off staff who was extremely rude

PETER a répondu le 22 mai 2024
Utterly disingenuous to claim the hotel was closed as guests and staff could prove. Rather, Zoe Haworth chose to ignore clearly stated check in times when she made the booking.She also ignored a welcoming email sent within an hour of booking again with check in times,travel suggestions etc...Later a concerned telephone call was made to see if there had been a traffic accident etc..causing a delayed arrival. The socially busy background noise proved otherwise. and of course staff are too well trained and well mannered to be rude.

Unfortunately Victor and his wife were unable to stay with us on this occasion.They arrived, parked with their badge displayed in the blue badge slot we had obtained right in front of the building, but came too late in the day for us to be able to provide a double en suite room on or near the ground floor.His wife who suffered from severe emphysema was unable to go to the top floor for the allocated room for their stay.If we had been informed by the guest when making the booking,we could have easily made adjustments,but rooms were already occupied..Victor even apologised for not telling us in advance of their special requirements.On a quiet weekend (not Bonfire night) we may have had some flexibility. Fortunately with a brother in town and friends at a local caravan camp,they had help.We could not relet their room so late in the day but will provide a big discount naturally for their next stay with us.

Good to hear that we were sufficient for his needs,which was a simple en suite twin overlooking the English Channel and Beachy Head,so that both he and Spanish female could enjoy the annual fireworks and Bonfire Societies' torchlight parade.

Staff are puzzled by low score as no reason provided either verbally during stay nor upon departure just slipped away.Paid just 72 for three persons in en suite room ( ie just 24 each) right on the promenade overlooking the beach.Staff recollect that they were namedroppers(some actor they claimed to know?) as if to make themselves somehow important.We need to know if something is wrong so that we can improve.This does not help us.However we regret that they were not happier and will continue to do our best.

The facilities advertised in EXPEDIA website did not exist there. There is no restaurant, no bar, no room service, no parking, no cleaning, no fridge, .... Everything was very old and poorly maintained. The room carpet was dark grey, while when one of the beds was moved accidentally, same carpet underneath it was pink! No fridge. cheap beds. Too little toiletries. Very small shower. The shower head was moving, would not stand still, so I had to hold it with one hand. The whole bathroom was humid with no window and only a small old fan that was not working properly. Old and thin doors. Old and small TV. The hotel was a little far from the Hastings attractions but that was not much of problem.

Just two examples from completely inaccurate and distorted review: doors are not thin but standard fire doors(of course): of legal regulation thickness and age; Ample parking: unlike down town,parking here is always free with completely unrestricted places less than 100yards away.etc..etc..

The owner was friendly and chatted a lot over check in. Which was slightly irritating as just wanted to check in and explore Hastings. He was elderly and slow so was patient with him. There was no explanation of facilities in hotel e.g. wifi, breakfast etc. Room was clean and comfortable. On check out there was no one at the reception so was unsure of procedure. Ended up seeing a member of staff and she told us to leave the keys on the counter. This was the only staff we encountered on our stay. But for one night was comfortable and clean.

We had a very pleasant 1 night stay at The Grand Hastings with a lovely sea view. Very peaceful and relaxing for us. Staff members and owner were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The bed was a little worn and springy however but we still really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely return when we next plan to be in East Sussex

Very basic, could do with new mattresses, bathroom had three doors! One that led straight onto the communal hallway, one was locked, and one door to the room. The building has been repainted grey and no longer yellow - so bit confused when trying to find it. Parking - had to pay. On the plus side it was clean and thank goodness for the sea view!

Thank you for the praise.Relax:shower room is really secure! All parking here is free and there is ample unrestricted parking as well,unlike down town Hastings where you must pay everywhere or have a residents' permit.There are two council car parks close to us where guests can opt to pay and display if they feel the urge to help the council.

Nice service but needs updating.
The gentleman who checked me in was lovely. The room was adequate. I'm sure this place was quite something in its day but it felt like it had not been updated in quite some time. The room had a lingering scent of damp, as did the lounge. The carpet in the room was worn and likely needed a deep cleaning (hence, the lingering scent). The location was fine, though my 'partial sea-view' room did not really have a sea view unless you count standing in the doorway to the en suite bathroom and look out the window at a severe angle.

Your thoughts help us improve,even in your chosen room which is the cheapest basic room we offer,chiefly for impecunious students and backpackers on very low budgets.Of course,we do provide larger rooms,some with bay windows,some with balconies all with full frontal sea views..

The manager firstly put phone down on me when I was calling regarding where to park, he insisted I rind door bell instead of him popping his head out as unless there is parking outside you could have a long walk!! Then the hotel exterior is now grey not yellow so I called to ensure this was the correct property and the manager spoke as if I should know this.. then we went in and the hallway is dated with a musty smell, I asked if rooms were like this and he said if I decided I did not want to stay that would be fine, so me and my 6 year old son were immediately put off. We asked to view room before we checked in, the room was very small and just ok for 1 night but at top of hotel a lot of stairs to be carrying bags too. Then the beds- literally like sleeping on cardboard. Terrible night sleep, noise from main road horrendous and the absolute worst was that we were to top room very high up to find the window did not have a child lock.. we were up and out of there as quick as possible after no sleep and the overflow on the loo also needed fixing.
