Charlotte the evening manager went out of her way to welcime us! **** I want to visit this property again! Charming atmosphere and outdoor dining area especially quaint!

This was my third stay at The View. It is convienent to get to. I flew into Gatwick Airport and took the train to Eastbourne. My room was comfortable, clean and pleasant, the staff was courteous and helpful, the food was good, the conference rooms were very nice and it's across the street from the beach. I Look forward to staying there again.

Four of us stayed here for 2 nights in June. Weather was atrocious with rain and high winds blasting along the seafront, but we really enjoyed our stay nonetheless. The hotel is comfortable and charming - one of the better maintained grand old hotels of the British seaside era. Staff was friendly and attentive and the food in the bar was quite tasty traditional pub fare. There is a large dining room with sea views but we did not have the chance to eat there. The real surprise for our group was how incredibly nice the rooms were. We had two nicely appointed seafront facing rooms with comfortable beds and large en-suite bathrooms. Besides being comfortably furnished, they were absolutely enormous by British hotel standards. Very high ceilings, two beds, a table with two sitting chairs, a dresser with HDTV, plus an entirely separate area of the room with a desk and large closets. Honestly, you could have fit four or five more single beds in this room (as they do in central London) and still wouldn't have felt overcrowded. The only slight downside is that while there are a few restaurants and shops in the immediate vicinity, the hotel is a solid 15 to 20 minute walk along the seafront to the main action of Hastings. No problem on a warm sunny day, but a bit of a drag in a cold downpour. Other reviewers complained about poor water pressure in the bathroom, but we had no such issues. Each day we had back to back hot showers in our 4th floor room without problem.

This small hotel was extremely charming and had tons of history. The staff were amazing and wish we had booked two nights instead of one! This town is a hidden gem and well worth the trip! Loved it!

... But not the best. For the money? I think you should expect more. The service was quite good.
