Not recommend.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

I appreciate old buildings with character, but unfortunately, the charm of this hotel was completely overshadowed by the lack of cleanliness and maintenance.
There were stains on the bedding, dusty surfaces, and the glasses in the room had clearly not been cleaned properly. Our third-floor room was extremely warm and stuffy, with no air conditioning, which made it very uncomfortable.
The breakfast was very basic and, sadly, not particularly tasty. The coffee was also disappointing and barely worth mentioning.
The condition of the hotel’s common areas was not much better. The carpets had visible stains, and there was debris in the lifts, which gave the whole place a rather neglected feeling.
Overall, this was a very disappointing experience and certainly not what I expected from a stay in Eastbourne. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this hotel and would not stay here again.

I realise this was a budget stay but hotel could do with a revamp.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, bed was good

Cons:

Room was OK but could do with a makeover. Bathroom door wouldn't close, there were paint blobs on the floor, and the sink was seriously cracked.

It was sold as seaview and was charged extra for that, but in name of sea view it was one window where one can see the sea through large scaffolding
