Lovely old hotel on the seafront, parking, very friendly staff, good hot breakfast on hot plates 😁 needs a bit of TLC but with 140 rooms on a building of this age, you expect some ongoing maintenance. Large airy room clean and tidy, could do with updating, but I’m sure they will achieve that in time. Would I stay there again, most definitely, exceptional value for money if you are looking for a cheap place to stay in Eastbourne. Much better than most Travel Lodge’s I’ve stayed in and the breakfast was really good 😊 👍👍

A restful short holiday break.

Friendly and helpful staff. Spacious clean room with great view. Good value with easy parking. Denisa at Reception gets 5 stars. Very helpful, cheerful and friendly. Hotel is in a great location. You cannot ask for more.

Had a double room with sea view. Although at the lower end of cost and the room being fairly clean where it mattered, ie: bed, bathroom etc:, there were parts of the room that were tired and not clean. Shower rail rusty and window ledges were dirty. Overall, cheap room for seafront so adequate.

We stayed at the Cavendish last Friday 14th February, after attending a funeral, we were pleasantly surprised by Reception and foyer, however, @ 4AM there was a fire alarm, which was not handled very well, as a former fire Marshall, there was no protocol in place, no one at fire exit to guide us, and general confusion, every one made their way to Reception, who did not have a very hood grasp on the situation and seemed rather flustered and no one took control, if indeed there had been a fire, there would have been lots of casualties, this really spoiled our experience at the Cavendish, and when we tried to express our feelings in the morning were met with a very dismissive receptionist, who did not see how upset we were and we were not even offered breakfast for the inconvenience of the night before, or any explanation , simply saying that regular fire alarms and drills were deployed in day times, however people react so different in the middle of the night , disturbed from sleep, disoriented etc and with no guidance .

Fawlty Towers

1) Normal check-in is at 15:00 hours. We arrived at 13:30 and went to reception to pay for two days of car parking. We were told that the room was not ready and to come back at 15:00. We came back at 15:30 and was given the keys to room 112. On entering, the room was not made up and in a complete mess. It was reported to Reception and was offered a corner room with a limited sea view. This was refused as we had booked a sea view room. We asked if the room could be made up whilst we waited but the house keeping staff had gone home. Reception gave us another room with a sea view and we moved in. 2) Dinner was served by what looked like the maintenance man wearing his work clothes. He was the only waiter on duty. The next day we saw him cleaning the car park. I have photos but have not posted them. 3) Day 2 Dinner, the wine glass placed on our table was broken with a large chunk missing from it resulting in spillage when filling with water. We have stayed here before with no complaints but this was not a good experience considering it is advertised as a 4 star hotel.

We arrived later than planned and asked if we could get a drink the night receptionist said the bar was closed. We then asked another member of staff If we could get a soft drink he said he would ask and then we were left sitting in the lobby waiting for him to return and he never did. We then asked the night receptionist where his colleague was and explained and he completely dismissed us. We asked that all we were asking for was a soft drink and he became very rude towards us and said it's water or nothing as this was not Las Vegas.!!!. We commented on how rude he was and he then claimed we were being racist towards him. I told him not to throw the race card into this and he completely dismissed us by telling us we should have booked somewhere else. Absolutely terrible attitude. I would not recommend this hotel to stay at. The night receptionist needs to go on to some form customer service course. Definitely not a place to stay at.

Dated rooms

The reception area looked amazing, but our room was very dated, dirty carpet, worn furniture and it was really hot in the rooms. Windows looked like they were falling apart. Corridor smelt like cannabis. You can hear the people in the next room talking. The location of the hotel was good but I wouldn’t return to this hotel.
