For the price this was a great stay. I had a room with a sea view. The carpet wasn’t hoovered properly. It needs a deeper clean but overall I’m comfortable in the room. I’ve had the same room every time I stayed at the Cavendish. Which I also like

Staff are great and accommodating. Not met anyone working here who isn’t pleasant. The outside area after a certain time is questionable but it is a ‘seaside’ area, therefore you do get adolescents misbehaving near the pier area. There’s only been a few occasions there loudness can be heard but they tend to move on after a while.

The staff are welcoming and make you feel at ease. It’s a shame some people choosing to stay here are not very nice towards the staff. The staff do a great job at trying to accommodate those staying.

The staff are welcoming and polite. The communal area is comfortable but would be better with an all day bar for those not working to relax.

The food was very good, and buffet dining works well.not servicing the rooms during a guests stay is making the room look tired.

Room broken into and items packed by staff

Would not risk it again. We had a 2 night stay booked over a nice and sunny weekend. As most reviews say, the rooms are sauna, but we had 2 fans and with window opened it was fine. The furniture is outdated but acceptable, could have been run down but it was not. The HUGE negative and the one that will put most people off: Checked in Friday evening, slept the night. Left to explore on Saturday morning and locked the room behind us. On return our key cards didn't work, got them reactivated, thinking nothing of it. Once in - our toothbrushes, toiletries, personal items (clothes, perfumes, underwears) and some very private(!!) items we left behind near bedside, were all gone! Room was not cleaned, but items went missing. We then saw our suitcase in corner of the room (we had left it in the wardrobe), so I opened it and found all our items packed inside it. Turns out they had a "glitch" in their system and they thought we were only staying 1 night. So, when we weren't in on Sat morning, housekeeping took all our stuff, put it in our own suitcase, and took it as 'lost property'. Reception said no manager was on duty then, so wait till next morning. We slept terrified, spoke to manger in the morning who said it happens, there was a witness to staff who packed your stuff, so what is the fuss about? The fuss is someone entered, touched and put away your items in your absence, opened your bag and packed it! That is invasion of privacy whilst being paid for that room by us!!!!

Loved it. Loved my room. Bed really comfy, hot bath, just great. Only downside was that the room was so warm despite there being no heating which was weird but hey, still, better than being cold. Will definitely be staying again.

Had a lovely time, although we couldn’t bring any food back to our room due to no fork ect. The hotel is cashless which I was unaware of.

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 😊 👍👍
