The hotel offers air-conditioned lounges with free Wi-Fi, a full English breakfast served by staff, and a bar serving local real ale and spirits.

The seafront location offers direct views of Eastbourne Pier and easy access to the promenade.

Air-conditioned lounges with free Wi-Fi provide a comfortable environment for relaxation.

Function spaces accommodate events for up to 150 guests with customizable layouts.

Some rooms lack sea views or balconies, depending on availability.

“In my opinion, its position opposite the pier is a real asset, and the sea views certainly enhance some rooms. I noted how consistently the staff are mentioned as friendly and helpful. For those seeking a central base at a good price, it seems a solid option.”
