Slightly run down, but very grand. Great window and bed coverings, the carpet was excellent shape, but floors a little creaky. Some of the paint on the walls in the common areas was a bit worn, but not in the rooms. We had a family room consisting of a double bed and two singles. May have originally been a bedroom... More

In its day in sure it would of been a fantastic experience. Nowadays it is tired and the things that would have been grand look unimpressive. The location is ok and we enjoyed the 20 minute walk along the seafront into Hastings old town but it is a fair trot. The room we had suited us as had an extra... More

I stayed here with my Husband for a weekend getaway from home. The hotel is quite big and old dating back from year's ago...excellent history and sight's. Room was clean and housekeeping were always friendly and helpful. The restaurant was our favourite spot looking out to the sea with an enjoyable big selection buffet breakfast. We would stay here again... More

Our umpteenth stay at this hotel so I suppose we know what to expect by now. Yes, it's shabby; yes it's dated; but it's still remarkably good value for a couple of night's B&B and it's right on the seafront. The positives: the front-desk staff are generally welcoming, approachable and helpful; the rooms are clean, seaview rooms very spacious and... More

When you arrive at this hotel you are treated by a very grand facade, for a bygone era. Unfortunately the rest of the hotel looks like it has not received any attention since it namesake was on the throne. It was dated, dirty and tired. The revolving doors made it nearly impossible to enter with suitcases, and no one bothered... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights over the bank holiday weekend. When we arrived we were fortunate enough to be able to park in one of the hotels few parking spaces at the front of the building. Checking in could have been an issue as they had us down to arrive a day later than we were under... More

Was staying nearby and ion a cold wet night (and on the strength of good reports form someone) we opted for the 2 course 'special' in the dining room. I think the special is the throwback to the 80s all round Tired carpets and over heavy curtains that blocked a great sea view-the best part of the evening. FIrst alarm... More

The entrance hall and stairwell smelled like stale smoke and there was a squashed cigarette butt on the carpet. Upon entry to the dining room we were seated at a table with dirty, unpolished and missing cutlery and glassware. For the 1st course we all ordered pate and it took 45 mins to arrive and others were served before us.... More
