Hydro Hotel has that old English charm of a seaside retreat and indeed it welcomes you like a little haven. The reception staff seems to change regularly, but they are all quite accommodating really. When we arrived, there was a wedding reception being held in the entrance hall and seating areas, but this was no bother at all, on the... More

Although I had great faith in the management and staff, leaving the arrangements fro my daughter's wedding in their hands; I have to say that the entire experience completely surpassed all of my expectations. I was overwhlemed at the care and attention to detail. THANKYOU everyone for making Emma and Paul's day just perfect.

I attended a function at the hotel and stayed the night. The room was very clean and has everything you would need. Check out time of 1030 was very early though! There are A LOT of old people who come here!! Aside from the function i attended i thought i had stepped into a care home by mistake. Probably wont... More

Definately caters for the older local people, there was a tea party going on when I arrived and I felt quite out of place.

Provided with cot bed which was great. Good was 1st class. Would recommend this hotel to everyone. Even if just for visiting for... More

Stayed at the Hydro over the Bank Holiday weekend in glorioius sunshine! Service and food in the restuarant was great with plenty of choice for a set dinner. Bedroom was lovely and clean with nice views over garden and sea - being on the ground floor we didnt have to contend with the stairs or lift! Would certainly visit again... More

went with friends to have lunch, excellent value for money, very good food and the staff were a joy, nothing was too much trouble. The reception staff were lovely too, these people are often overlooked when writing reports. They were charming, friendly and with a good sense of humour

Situated near the old town in Eastbourne a short walk from Beachy Head with views across the Channel the Hydro Hotel offers old fashioned comfort and good food. The fact that so many revisit this hotel for short breaks is evident from the friendly banter with the staff in the dining room. People seem to know each other well and... More
