Very nice hotel, cannot really say anyting bad Had a very nice room over looking to sea, very big and spacious. Breakfast was fine, nothing to rave about, but just ok.. Not for the young, main market for the older generation. more

Overall very good. Has a tough act trying to juggle an historic bygone image with a modern appealing hotel that families want to stay at. Very family friendly and yet still manages to feel like an old Gentlemens' club. Decor stunning in the public areas. Rooms dated but do the job and would be difficult to modernise I suspect.

It is unquestionably traditional, chintzy decor etc and the only really obvious concession to modernity is the flat screen tv in the room. It is clean and well maintained. The outdoor heated swimming pool is a real treat although this facility was... more

We spent the weekend with girlfriends to relax and have fun in Eastbourne. We decided not to stay at the Grand but instead opted to organise a spa day for ten of us. We had the best time and couldn't fault the spa. Although at the beginning our enquiry was a little neglected, we couldn't fault the staff at the... more

This hotel was lovely, had a real olde worlde style with grand entrances and old fashioned charm. The only downside was that the rooms were a bit dinky, with chintzy decor, but that was to be expected. Would definitely stay again if in Eastbourne. more
