Top South Downs Way Hotel Reviews

Osborne Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great price. Lovely rooms that match photos online. Staff very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to beach, restaurants, train station and pier"

The Chatsworth Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, excellent staff. My room had a wonderful sea view. There was a relatively new carpet and a really comfortable bed, but there were a few cracks in the bathroom sink that needed repair and the paintwork was a bit tired. It didn’t take away from a relaxing stay and would definitely consider it again."

Hydro Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the nicest hotel I’ve stayed in - been going to the tennis at Eastbourne for 20+ years and will be hopefully booking here next year too. Friends who also stayed had a very hot uncomfortable night due to heat in the room - evidently this is a known issue as she was advised that room among others will be getting aircon shortly so hopefully a repeat of that won’t happen when we return"

Cavendish Hotel

8/10 Good

"this hotel is in a great location, right on the seafront a couple of min walk from the pier and only a 5min walk from the town centre. the rooms are large, and well equipped with a table and chairs, dressing table, large double bed and wardrobe with a hairdryer, iron and ironing board in the room also. the downside is that the hotel could really do with having some investment, while everything worked in the room it is dated and somethings in need of repair/upgrading. the shower curtain for example only covered 3/4 of the shower so the floor got wet when used. the shower holder was difficult to adjust and missing a cover. while these art major problems they are little things that drop it from a 4star to a 3star stay in my opinion. All that said for the price I would definitely stay here again."

New Wilmington Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel had no air con, but fan was given on request. Staff polite and happy to help. Plumbing was questionable. Showers were adequate, but water pressure not good. Heard a couple of other guests complaining they had no cold water to fill a kettle, and no water for shower. Our bath was very slow in draining water, with water still in the bath the following day. Breakfast was good, however, dining places often missing salt, pepper and items of cutlery. Waiting staff seemed inexperienced, but was start of season, so am sure will get better. Location just off sea front and parking close to hotel using parking permits from hotel. Would stay there again"
