Great 5th floor view of the sea. Room was nice. Hotel could use a refresh, but overall it was a pleasant experience. Big thank you to Elena at the front reception! Always very pleasant and a treat asset to the hotel!!
Great stay food was excellent and reasonable
Room and bed very nice and clean
The hotel needs a bit of TLC and re-dec in places but all in all a great experience
Great place to stay in Hastings/St. Leonards-on-Sea. Magnificent grand hotel, spacious rooms and a lot of old-world luster.
Plus, right on the bus lines to Margate Beach, Hastings Old Town and the rest.
We would definitely stay again!
We had a wonderful stay. Every member of staff we met was super helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. The room was great with a fantastic view of the sea. Breakfast was really nice and great view of the sea also We would stay again, no hesitation!

lovely clean room and helpful staff . Worth noting that there is currently scaffolding on the front of the hotel - it was not good value to pay the extra for a seaview room only to look at scaffolding !
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The hotel was very tired. Furniture was worn and dirty. Front revolving door was so dirty your fingers would slip on the handrail and your reflection in the dirty glass window was blurry.
The tablecloths in the diningroom had sun spots and green stains.
You can tell the management was investing in the exterior with fresh paint but the interior needed excessive work
Lovely, characterful, old hotel in a great location on the sea front. Easily walkable to Hastings.
Breakfast was a bit lacklustre but view from the dining room compensated somewhat.
Very pleasant stay. Lovely old grand hotel. Friendly service, good dinner and excellent breakfast.
