Amazing value. I can’t believe it was that cheap to be honest. Was expecting a bit of a dive but it was really pleasant. Comfy bed, good shower. Staff were very accommodating. Had a small issue with the toilet cistern not refilling in the first room, got moved straight away to an even better room. Can’t fault any of it. Nice little stay

The stay was very good. The room was nice. I like the fact there are codes on the doors rather than having to worry about a key. Only minor issue is that the WiFi didn’t work.

This was an attempt to put a modern air bnb approach to an old hotel industry. Reception was manned only when you called, entry was by digital number pads and the rooms were quiet. Centrally located and walking distance to the seafront. Will definitively use again.

Great b&b option in Eastbourne. Roy was absolutely fantastic with the communication and the room was perfect for a weekend stay. Close to the seafront and very quiet.

I stayed at the Mowbray to see the Sussex Coast and Kent. The hotel proved to be a great choice. My room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. I had an easy walk to Eastbourne’s board walk, great local places to eat and a nice building btw.

Definitely not an 8.6. More like a 6

King size bed was 2 old singles pushed together with a wafer thin double quilt which was smaller than the bed. Old flat pillows. Room was freezing cold. No towels. Cold showers with mould all over the tile grout. Won’t book again

Ideally located for eating out and sea front strolls. Basic hotel , easy parking, good breakfast however the housekeeping in the rooms could be improved especially in the bathrooms, toilet brush disgraceful !! . Blinds also thick in dust and tv unwatchable as signal kept going.

Not my first stay and it won't be the last

It was my 2nd stay in Mowbray. Very friendly and lovely hotel. I think I booked last available room, small single bed one. Even though it was very small, it was furnished in a way it was very convenient and comfortable for my short stay. Large windows give a spacey feeling. Small en-suite bathroom could use a little bit of renovation but everything was in working order so no issues there. Staff was super nice and accommodating. Great location, 3 minutes from the sea, 10 minutes walk from the train station

Didn’t get what we booked

Booked a superior triple room which should have had a separate sofa bed and partial sea view, was given a standard double room with a view of the theatre inland. The bathroom is so tiny you cannot comfortably dry yourself after showering without leaving the bathroom. Stayed two nights, no clean towels after first night, quilt had a urine stain, blinds dirty. We regularly visit Eastbourne, first and last stay here
