Location was brilliant. House maid was brilliant and friendly. Reception staff, were not friendly or welcoming.The room, got far to hot. I definitely wouldn't recommend going in summer. One window opened, but the gutter was blocked so any rain caused water to come in.The shower needed at least 20 minutes of running before it became tepid. Spoke to reception and was told it was due to lack of use of the room.

The hotel staff, although very few, were very helpful. We were advised on arrival there was no kitchen and therefore could not even have breakfast in the hotel. I wish we had known before, because we paid far too much for room only. This said the location is amazing, with sea view. The bed was really comfy! The facilities, very compact. I had to open the door to get off the toilet! Lol. Bright side is weather was glorious and so much to see and do. Didn't stop walking. Refund happily accepted for lack of facilities.

I paid for superior room. This room 27 was far from superior. We had to go into the toilet sideways as there was no room. If you wanted to pull on your underwear, you hit your head on the sink. The toilet was no bigger than a cupboard fitted into an alcove. The shower was much the same. Get undressed before going into the shower as you couldn't get undressed in the alcove. No lift in this hotel. Dead flies on window sills. No breakfast. I tried ringing down to reception to complain but the phone didn't have a connection. It was just an ornament. The windows did not open. All in all a disgrace of a hotel. The view was excellent but that wasn't a plus for the hotel that was a plus for Eastbourne

Firstly, front of house staff are very friendly, Roberto in particular was a delight and an absolute asset to the team.The rooms are worth the money you are paying, small and a touch run-down but overall a pleasent place to stay.I would however, be careful of the £100 deposit for damages. Make sure you take pictures and report any defects immediately to front of house staff to avoid such charges. I for example had a faulty kettle and shower in my room which I would have been charged for had I not reported them.Overall 4/5 stars for my stay and experience, heavily boosted by the team of staff.P. S - Super cheap alcohol so make sure you use the bar!

DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL, WORST EXPERIENCE IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!! Where to begin, my friends and I stayed at The Strand Hotel for a weekend get away, we did a late check in as we walked all the way from Seaford to Eastbourne. We had 2 rooms as we were 5, the room with 3 beds didn’t have water whatsoever not even to flush the loo!! And the room with 2 beds didn’t have any hot water. When we did the check in, the woman at the reception didn’t tell us anything about these issues, we found out by ourselves. When we complained at reception, they told us that they knew about these issues since midday, so I wonder WHY they didn’t say anything at the moment of check-in? We were really tired and the only thing we wanted was to take a shower and rest. So after about 45 min of complaining one the employees told us that we could shower in a completely different room and on a different floor but that we had to sleep in the rooms that they gave us at the beginning! Unfortunately we didn’t have anywhere else to stay as we could not find any other hotel near by. Next day we wanted to make a complaint and speak with the manager (we had a terrible night going to the loo in the middle of the night to a completely different room) anyway he or she wasn’t there at the time and never came. We spoke with SOMEONE (when I say someone we thought it was the manager) on the phone, as we wanted our money back but what we got instead was two rude and very unpleasant and unprofessional people, first with a woman who didn’t really care and was making excuses and then she passed the phone over to a terrible, aggressive and rude man, he was shouting at us and making us feel really bad, I guess he was being like that because we were all women.I really hope we can get our money back and people out there are aware of our awful experience at this hotel.

I had a sea view room and the view was absolutely amazing. There was scaffolding up though so this spoilt it a little bit and the outside windows were dirty. The bed was comfortable so that was good. There is a sign in the bathroom saying you need to request a hairdryer at reception. I was given one that didn't work so then had to go down and get another one. The receptionist didn't have a hairdryer that worked. Said she would look for one and I should wait in the room but she never showed up. Should have just come up and say she didn't have one. The bed was comfortable but the first night I could hear the music coming from reception in the morning as it was so loud so couldn't get back to sleep. Didn't hear it the second morning so slept better. The location is amazing!
