Lovely hotel, no its not perfect but its a Victorian building so obviously its old but has great character. The rooms are fairly modern with flat screen tv, comfy beds and up to date bathrooms. We stayed in a sea view twin room had no problems. Staff were happy to help, if you run out of anything in the room just ask and they give it to you. Bar staff lovely and chatty. Drinks and food in bar are good and reasonably priced, i was shocked at how they matched a regular pub, hotels usually rip you off. The breakfast is buffet style and lovely although didn't seem to do fried eggs only scrambled. If i was to come to Eastbourne again i would definitely stay at this hotel.

Stayed previously in a single room which looks nothing like the photos. Room was dirty, mattress old and poor springs, bathroom was not fit for purpose - the sink was so small that every time I bend I would hit my head on the glass shelve above the sink. Shower was rusty and water would leak onto the floor. So asked if I could have a room with a shower cubicle which they kindly upgraded me to a double room. This room was still dirty and stains on the carpet but more spacious, mattress only OK but a better bathroom. I could manage in this room. No servicing of rooms done. Had to extend my stay due work and asked reception if I could have the same room. Initially receptionist said “yes I will do that”. Then next day receptionist called to say I would need to move to another room since I had booked a single room. Advised her that I booked the same as previous and they gave me this better room. She said “OK I will look into it, check and I shall get back to you”. Receptionist never got back to me the previous day and the next day at 11.00am when I had left the hotel, she rang. Told me that I had to move from the room. I told her I have no problems moving room but I would need to travel back to the hotel. She then stated she can move my stuff to the other room for me. So I came back to the hotel to be told by another receptionist my other room was not ready for at least 3 hrs but I had to remove my stuff. LEFT THE HOTEL DISGUSTED, DIDN’T EVEN GET A REFUND FOR 6 NIGHTS NOT USED.

Room was dirty, old mattress with bad springs and bathroom unfit for purpose (sink was so small you would bang your head every time on the glass shelve when bending over, shower rusted and water on the bathroom floor after use).

This hotel is an older property probably built around the late 19th century. I liked the period decor especially in the dining room as it is spacious. The meals are good value and I consider worth considering if you stay here. Our room had a sea view and there was plenty of space. The bathroom/toilet area was fine for my wife and I as we are still quite mobile, but for persons with a disability or are not so physically fit, getting into the bath or shower could prove difficult. However, this appertains to our room, other rooms may be different. There is adequate parking at the rear of the hotel for which there is a daily parking charge. The hotel is situated within a few yards of the Pier and is only about ten minutes walk from the town centre. All in all it is very conveniently situated.

The property is so run down which is a shame as it’s a lovely building. The carpets are stained and dirty and the place just looks dirty. Maybe the cleaners don’t have enough time to do each room. The staff where friendly

Burlington Hotel - Poor

The front desk staff were wonderful and very accommodating. However, the hotel itself requires significant renovations and upgrades. Housekeeping had also done a very poor job in cleaning the room before our arrival. Overall, not a very pleasant stay.

I booked well in advance and at the time the rates were much higher than the market rate for a similar property in Eastbourne, so I assumed this was going to be a quality experience in line with the website and hotel promotion. That was not to be. When we got there, one of the lifts was out of order, leaving the other one to be painfully slow. There's an air of decay and faded lack of attention to the hotel. It looks really grubby from the front. In fact, when we arrived at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, there were drug addicts injecting themselves in the car park. Not a great start. The bathroom of the room door didn't close. It didn't fit the doorframe. A sticker, giving information about the replacement towel arrangements "as we we are in Covid restrictions' was still on display underneath the bathroom mirror. 4 years after restrictions ended, this is not a cared for property and doesn't match up to my expectation of the marketing. For the first time ever, we went for a coffee in the afternoon in the town centre and considered bailing - going home- even though we paid for the room. We persevered. But never again.

Lovely location but rooms could be cleaner

Lovely location right on the seafront. Room was a good size and had everything we needed, staff were pleasant and friendly. However decor is dated and the room could have been cleaner and this let it down.
