Nice Seaview from the room and very large bed which was a bit soft for our liking. Separate toilet and shower room with no shower gel or hand wash in either 🤔. No restaurant in the hotel so no breakfast 🙃 but staff were helpful.

This is a cheap and cheerful hotel so expect to get exactly what you pay for which is a comfy bed and bathroom facilities. UHT milk on both nights was off so couldn’t have morning cuppa, no cold water as it was running warm, could turn shower on but had a fight to turn it off!! Best part an unidentified fire alarm at 5.45am on first night. Would I stay here again definitely not !!

Always welcoming and a properly staffed reception. Lovely rooms at the front. Stocked bar with a very handy pizza & beer offer for £12. Quality linens in the rooms. Unrestricted parking 50yds away. The Strand has become my 'go to' for Eastbourne and I usually stay there twice a month (having tried 7 or 8 other hotels along the strip).

It was nothing more than ok. Very basic room which was very tight on space in the toilet and bathroom areas. Water in shower and sink was tepid at best which is really disappointing what you want a hot shower. Wouldn't choose to stay again based on this stay
