This property was sold as 5 🌟 . It wasn’t that sadly, 2 stars at most, without any of the facilities a 5 star rating eludes to, and some issues that any Hotel should be resolving urgently. We stayed for 3 nights in an executive sea view. The hotel describes itself as sun drenched luxury. It isn’t. There were two positives; the location near the pier on the seafront is good, and our room on the 2nd floor was sea view. When I say sea view, you had to open the window as all of the double glazing in the windows are badly condensated between the glass. Other features were the stains on the carpet, coffee marks on the dresser, and they also left a free gift of Ferrero Roche (2) and some pills from a previous room occupant for my 5 yr old to find under the bed. The Illy coffee machine worked well (only 2 pods provided), but it was a liability on the small table as it shook the kettle off and spilled, fortunately not hot. The LED lights in the lamps were not dimmable and flickered. In the bathroom there was a small bottle of cheap shampoo and a small bar of soap provided for showering. Not even Travelodge are that tight. The bath shower had no temperature control on it and the temperature was variable, dangerous for our 5 yr old. The old-gated lift is quaint, but there’s a reason why you won’t find them elsewhere. And to breakfast; charged handsomely for a buffet which wasn’t provided, limited choice and badly served between buckets catching the rain leaks. Poor & tired

An okay 3-star hotel

A good 3 star hotel, but no ay near 5 stars. One gets the sense this used to be a good hotel, but in the last few years has been operating on a budget (new owners?). The structure of communal and rooms are good, but the furnishings and decor are getting tired. For example my, Aunt stayed in one of the sea view rooms, which had a great aspect and space, but the table had two major cracks in it and looked like it was from a skip. My room was a partial sea view room, and it was fine but rather basic (although the shower head was broken and thick with limescale). The breakfast room is grand, but the tables and chairs very cheap. The breakfast, esp.at £20pp, is really poor. The staff are lovely, but there is not enough of them - the receptionist also had to serve breakfast for example. This helps explain why whenever we called the phone is very rarely picked up. Great location. If you think of this as an okay 3 star youll be pleased, but very disappointed if a 5 star.

Decent place but never in a million years a five star hotel! Breakfast was exorbitantly overpriced and mediocre to boot.

Great Hotel with excellent service

Had a very pleasant stay at the Chatsworth Hotel. I was greeted by the Hotel Manager George who advised I'd been given a complimentary Upgrade to a very nice suite. The Hotel was beautiful with the original lift that is apparently about 100 years old, I was then taken up to my suite and given lots of very useful information. In my room was a great guide to Eastbourne letting me know all the events that were going on during my stay and when I popped out for my evening meal I was given recommendations where I could eat. The staff were all very lovely and helpful and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, I will certainly be going back. Particular highlight was the ocean veiw from my room.
