An unexpected delight
Pros:

The whole place feels stylish whilst also feeling homely, it’s like an elegant warm hug. We were quite surprised as never been inside before. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The staff were excellent, showing us to our room and giving us all the info we needed. It’s so nice to actually have interactions with other humans as many places seem to choose a more automated self serve system which can feel cold.

Cons:

Nothing at all.

Great location
Pros:

Sea front and sea view great. Right in the heart of everything Hastings has to offer. Breakfast great value.

Cons:

It was the first time that I was asked to pay on arrival. I was sure that via Bookings.com it said that payment was on departure.
I was not happy with this and would make me think twice about booking again
