Pros:

Everything other than shower having no pressure at all was good but feel a little let down by shower as stayed before and never had problems. Maybe just in this room not so good?

Pros:

Nice big triple room at a good price, the helpful lady on arrival let me check in early which was very much appreciated, the room itself was clean/tidy and very comfortable, it even had a fan to cool me down if I got hot, the shower worked ok but slightly under the pressure I prefer for a shower but it does the job, I will say the drainage of the shower needs looking at I was standing in a puddle by the time I finished my shower, the room view wasn't great but that wasn't a problem as I wasn't looking for that, the hotel lift appears to be out of use with signs reminding you not to use which can be a problem if your carrying heavy bags and luggage up the narrow stairways, the overall decor of the hotel is in need of some updating but the room I had was more then suitable, I would stay here again when I visit Eastbourne should they have the right price and availability.

Pros:

I stayed couple of nights with my friend. The hotel is okay for the stay we needed it for. We left in the morning and returned back late night, so we didn’t spend much time in the hotel. The seaside is literally 2minutes from the hotel, which is great. The station is approximately 10min walk and there are shops and restaurants close by. The staff is polite and always helpful. Thank you ☺️

Value for money stay
Pros:

A pleasurable stay. The room was clean and well presented.
The queen bed was very low and quite sunken in as I nearly fell off the bed in my sleep. New mattress’s to be placed and full 5 stars would be given.

Pros:

Unfortunately I had very bad stay in this hotel. First, my booking was for 3 adults. We received 1 single bed and 1 bed and half where slept 6 night 2 big person. Terrible! After I ask for towel.Had only 3 bath towels. After agein ask for coffee, tea, sugar - boxes was empty in room. No one come to clean our room 6 days! Room become dirty and dusty. I have allergic asthma and this dust make me big issue. I was emergency in hospital. I spoke with manager about this and I had request to refund part of my money. He told me that will speak with team and will talk with me. Until now no one contact me. By Expedia today I understand that hotel don't want to refund some money for service who no one did.
Never I had bad experience like in this hotel.
Beds was uncomfortable and we don't rest. So Sea Shell hotel completely destroyed our holiday!

Pros:

The hotel is in need of updating but it was ok for what we needed. the only real big thing was that the lift was not working and we were in the 3rd floor with a toddler. The staff were very friendly when there

Pros:

When i arrived i was shown to an unacceptable room with a blind stuck into the open window .the sink looked not particularly clean & the room smelt unpleasant.
However ,to be fair to the staff ,when i complained i was given a much better ,clean room with a functioning window and curtains.
I was travelling to visit my brother who us in hospital. I am just disappointed that i was not initially considered Deserving of a Decent room .

Pros:

The hotel is old and very basic. The shower is very weak which takes time for bath. Toilet flushing is weak and the water replenish is very very slow that it may take 2-3 times to clear up the waste.
The credit is they provide tooth brush, slippers, shampoo and shower gel that a bit surprise. Location is good, just few minutes to the bus station for journey to Seaford or Brighton. Staff are nice and friendly.

Do not waste your time and money
Pros:

Extremely dirty, tired, stunk of cigarettes and staff not up to running a hotel. Mattress had collapsed by just pressing on it and was stained. Don’t let the professional stock photos fool you.
