This place is very budget friendly with excellent quality rooms and reception. The view is everything you would expect with the perfect sight of the pier and beach. The best part is the staff. The manager, Junaid, provided exceptional service with a very professional and welcoming demeanor. Would highly recommend this place for a relaxing student-friendly weekend holiday.

The room was clean and comfortable and everything worked as it should. Value for money. The hotel is in a good location, for the town and the seafront. with all the bars and cafes. Also a good location for the start of a hike to beachy head through to seven sisters, then back which was the purpose of my stay.

What an absolute shambles! I paid good money for a large room over the Airshow weekend and they were not prepared in any way to accept guests. …

A booking was made and paid for a stay at this hotel in May 2024, unfortunately 1 of our party was taken ill on route and was taken by ambulance to the nearest A& E Hospital. One of our party rang the hotel telling them of our situation to be told not to worry and they would honour our booking and reschedule it.After ringing numerous times to speak to someone, we have been told we can re-book but we have to PAY AGAIN.WE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL.

Only able to leave 1 star not 0 otherwise I would!! We stayed in July found a hypodermic needle underneath the bed and was told it’s because they only clean underneath once per month! …

I was given a voucher from friends for a two night hotel stay. We decided on The Pier Hotel, Eastbourne, what a BIG mistake. Everything seemed ok on arrival, until we opened the door to go to our room. …

location is excellent, from my view I can see the pier, the location is perfect. If you are thinking of cancelling because of not being able to drink alcohol, there is Tesco express around the corner and you are able to get your drinks and probably pay a lot less than you would buying your drinks from the hotel

Great location, but it ends there. Unable to access the hotel before 3pm to leave a bag, dirty, dusty room with extremely soft mattress that’s impacted both our backs. Worse than most hostels I’ve stayed in

This hotel is not staffed after 10pm which is a fire hazard. |We got to the hotel at 3.30 and were told that there were no parking permits. We had to pay and park on the seafront and walk back to the hotel. …
