da Vinci Hotel

Large room but floor looked like it needed eeplacing as it was uneven and uncomfortable walking on it bare footed. One of the chairs had a bent foot. The room was clean except for a couple of small stains on the bedsheet.
There were stirrers instead of teaspoons and a couple of the milks were off.
The bed was very comfortable untill you ised the pillows. My husband said his extremely thin pillows were solid and ended up sleeping with a hoodie under pillow to make it comfortable. My pillows were softer but not only thin but lumpy. We both woke with headaches.
The room was clean and a bery good size.
My welcome and check in was almost perfect. Friendly andwelcoming plus the car permit.
It says on a sign to close doors quietly but it was impossible especially the one to the room it was so stiff.
Overall it was alright but the room could do with a little attention.

We liked the location as it was great for going to the beach and boardwalk. The hotel and rooms were clean. Our check was easy. Tom

Staff very helpful, paid extra for breakfast which was excellent

Nice hotel for short stay, one of the better ones in Eastbourne. Rooms are tidy and clean, nothing is falling apart like some of the nearby hotels. Convenient parking on the sea front and fairly sized single rooms.

Lovely art. Friendly helpful staff. Thanks to Nick who cooked lovely breakfasts. Comfortable room

Cobwebs in the room but other than that it was ok.

The fact that there's no grab rails around the shower and no slip mat could be dangerous for anyone who is disabled

Very small and tight room for two people, but nicely decorated. Parking was free with a permit but was tough to find a spot. Excellent location. Overall a great place to stay for a few nights.

Great full English breakfast and comfortable nights slerps!

Nice hotel and room was a good size. Could have been cleaner. I also realised that there was no blind on the bathroom window while i was taking a shower! Had to hang a towel over the shower door so people couldn't see me. Not ideal!

Near the beach & Near to the tennis.

A very nice room, good food and friendly staff. I will return.

Pros:
Friendly check in staff but didn’t see agin for eh rest of the stay.
Cooked breakfast available
Near the sea front

Cons:
Small bathroom.
You hit your elbow on the shower when using the toilet. Water pressure is shocking. Toilet took ages to refill resulting in “dripping” noise through the night. I had to fill the water up from the shower to get the toilet to flush.
No hot water from the sink and cold water dibbles out
Shower has a booster pump so at least it works but it changes from hot water to cold water frequently. Also tiny and not much space
Strange “barn” style door which was loud and heavy to open, also had a large gap under the door - impossible to have privacy.

Bedroom
Tatty and in need of a refurb. Was very hot but couldn’t open the window due to there being scaffolding outside which people could climb up and get into the room through the window. Not safe to open the window. View was poor - building site.
Tv signal kept going.
We were in room 101 at the top of the stairs so couldn’t hear everyone passing plus the front door bell being rung.
Noisy in the morning- could hear other peoples shower pumps and the noise from be kitchen downstairs
The bed was shocking. Don’t expect to get any sleep on it.
Has an ironing board in the room but no iron. This is more of a B&B than hotel.

Stayed two nights and came away with sore backs and lack of sleep.

Wouldn’t stay again? Only if I wanted to meet Basil Fawlty.

Excellent hotel.
Have stayed many time.
Lovely staff.
Room serviced every day.

Kind & pleasant staff, lounge areas lovely.lovely breakfast.
unfortunately there was cement smeared all across the bedroom window which didn’t enhance the already depressing view.Also lamp shades were broken.
Should be a warning that hot water is dangerously scalding.

On arrival i was originally given top floor room unfortunately lift was out of order and after explaining my knee issues i have the front of house staff member immediately swapped my room to a ground floor without any problems.

Clean and Basic, shower wasn’t working properly, Lift was out of order but not notified by the management, and wasn’t given the opportunity to change booking. We were on the 3rd floor. Less able people would have struggled.

Hotel is basic, clean but a bit dated. However the staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful. Attending a local sporting event and made very welcome with great assistance by staff.

Great location. Pleasant, helpful staff. Super breakfast.
General wear and tear on an older building so could do with some external and internal decoration. Can’t complain though as very reasonably priced.

Amazing breakfast
