Relaxing Stay.
Pros:

Room was large and comfortable. Breakfast was great value with 20% off , was lovely sitting out on terrace, overlooking the sea and pier. The staff were great, very friendly.

Cons:

When arriving, the car park was at the back and when entering had to come down two flights of stairs.

Pros:

Lovely hotel in prime location. Spotlessly clean lovely rooms great view. Lots of stairs. Good parking. Staff so friendly.

Cons:

Really need to get a good chef. Food was not well presented and although cooked could have been so much better. The only bad point about the hotel. Having said that the sandwich and snacks where very good.

Perfect for short stays

Superb location by the beach and within ten minutes of the train station and old town, very clean rooms, amazingly friendly staff. Managed to get an upgrade to a bigger room too. Breakfast (discounted at 20% for hotel guests) was also delicious

The lifts are a bit small. Property is quite old and a little run down too.

Comfortable stay.
Pros:

Comfortable stay.Nice staff.

Cons:

Would have liked there to be breakfast with your booking.Unfortunately more and more places like this,although available, are making guests pay for everything extra.Hotels should be
minimin b/b,especially for the price.

Perfect hotel stay in Hastings.
Pros:

The room we stayed in was spacious and had everything we needed. The rooms and hotel itself was clean and tidy. The location is perfect walking distance to the new town and old town. The bar and restaurant was an added bonus and the food was lovely. We would definitely stay here again.
