Swanley Vacations from ￥207,566

My wife and I had an incredible stay at the lovely Port Hotel with a stunning waterfront view providing gently rolling waves for ambience with the windows cracked open. The staff were perfect and the Eastbourne waterfront was everything we'd hoped for an authentic English coastal experience. Although was not an issue for us, be aware there are no elevators so if you book an upper floor then you're in for a good workout getting up and down the stairs daily -- especially getting heavy bags up and down. Overall, 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

Very average hotel and poor service.

Wish there are laundry facilities on site

Convenient to Gatwick airport which is a 7 min walk away

There are a lot of positive about the Grand. However were left with a rather bitter taste in our mouths after the upgrade/room bump and felt the staff were trying to fob off a room likely rejected on a regular basis for its noise issues and undesirable location by the bar seating. That being the case after hearing it was our 10 year wedding anniversary. I also heard the staff offering other guests wake up calls and talking them through the facilities as they checked in. We didn’t get the same helpful little rundown which further made us feel like we for some reason weren’t valued guests. I think for the price of the stay the Grand could definitely do better for its gusts. It’s the most expensive hotel in the area by a good deal and I assume this is based purely on the presence of the spa facilities. So unless you desperately want to use the pools or spar or money is no object, I would look elsewhere and save yourself some spending money.
