We arrived at the hotel and were greeted with a warm friendly smile. Th hotel takes you back to a time when going to the coastal towns was the hight of elegance. We had booked two of the sea view suits which were very nice and good value for money. We booked a table in the restaurant for 8pm but... More

This is a great hotel. Although it is set in an impressively majestic building evoking old time Victorian luxury, I don't think guests should come with unrealistic expectations. This is a large best western in a tired seaside resort, and is excellent value considering the size of the rooms. We had a sea view suite which had a separate reception... More

Not Chelsea! also not able to sit where you... More

Got to the hotel quite late after a long drive. No on site parking so it's find somewhere on the streets at the back which I didn't have too much trouble but it is a but of a maze of one way streets. Not so sure it would be easy to park close in busy times. Checking in was quick... More

If you're looking for dinner bed and breakfast in Hastings then this is the place. The hotel is nicely kept and the furnishings are well looked after. Dinner wasn't an extravagant affair but fairly pleasant. It is the best building on the seafront without doubt but then that's not really very hard. Overall we got a good deal through trivago...

It looks lovely from the outside but then you go inside, it really could do with some refurbishment. The family room was dreadful and had bits of wood stuck under the bed :( It was expensive, Staff were good. Out of choice I wouldnt recommend it as being an out standing hotel because its not!

Lovely hotel, clean and nicely decorated, but old fashioned to a large degree. Food great, but all only warm, not hot!!! They welcomed our small, quiet dog with no fuss.

My wife and I spent 3 nights at this very old classic hotel just across the street from The English Channel. Our visit was in October and considering that hotel is primarily a summer location due to the beach etc. we were able to book a suite on the fourth floor with a great view of the beach and the...

We received a friendly and efficient welcome which was indicative of our dealings with staff during our stay. The exterior of the hotel has been decorated so is better looking than the last time we stayed a couple of years ago, but the room which was very clean could do with some new furniture as it was showing signs of...

We stayed for a weekend with the family and the dogs. The hotel is a bit out of Hastings away from the Old Town, but you can walk it. The hotel was a bit faded, probably was once very grand, but the service was good and the staff werevery friendly. The marina was opposite, and you can walk to the... More
