We only stayed here for one night. The hotel is on the corner of a street off the sea front near the Martello tower but looks a litle tatty from outside, being a more modern building than the gorgeous Edwardian ones elsewhere. However, once inside we were very impressed with our room. We had a family room and even with... More

Having stayed frequently in Eastbourne we chose a budget hotel this time -we made a good choice with the Big Sleep. The bedroom was funky, the comfort of the beds could not be faulted. The shower room was snug, wouldn't suit a large person, in here the floor could do with being replaced. However everything was very clean and modern.... More

Booked room overlooking the sea and that was great, briliiant views, average sized room but for a budget hotel it was reasonably clean, white bed linen and white towels. Bathroom and "wardrobe" could do with a bit of a makeover but not unpleasant. Large windows that actually opened, bonus and heating that worked. Shower was hot but slow. Lift is... More

I stayed for one night in a single room in this hotel. The communal area where drinks and snacks are available is a bright and airy place. I didn't purchase any drinks/snacks so can't comment on the cost of these. The big disappointment was the bedroom itself. It was dull, and a bit grubby in so far as it was... More

I stated here, needing somewhere cheap to stay before the Brighton Marathon the next day. I paid £40 for a Saturday night. Having only paid that amount I can't complain about the experience of staying here. For the price I paid the service and facilities were fine. The decor is a little tired but the place was comfortable. If you... More
