    Bacon to be better quality.

    Okay, quality of the bacon not good. The breakfast was overpriced at £20. Many people don’t want a fully cooked breakfast but still have to pay £20 which is too expensive.

    Nothing, just an amazing experience.

    Absolutely everything was perfect. Even before we arrived staff answered emails and made the whole 'trip' easy breezy. Greeted on arrival and taken up to our room. Meals were amazing and service absolutely first class throughout our trip.

    Minor disappointed on following; Hotel only has steps leading to entrance, no accessibility ramp. Room was not as I expected from the image of the executive room, (assumed there would be a sofa or breakfast table) carpet had a few burnt stains, rooms need minor maintenance update. No peephole, room had traditional key with no number on it, so remember your room number! Room Fridge, dressing gowns and slippers are upon request at reception. However staff can accommodate to add anything to their own hotel fridge. Unfortunately, out of stock on disposable slippers, therefore had to go into town to buy a pair. Finally for vegetarians very limited on breakfast, no veggie sausages! Very basic for breakfast. However, the dining staff made up for the comfortability and welcome.

    Stayed at the Chatsworth Hotel in Eastbourne with elderly mother for a mini holiday. Booked this hotel due it’s stylish, classic décor and location. Standalone building with 4 floors. Beautiful traditional entrance and dining room, lounge and bar room with 1900 elevator lift with seating inside, such a beautiful feature. Booked an Executive King size bedroom Seaview on the 3rd floor and received the corner panoramic room 303. Bathroom was huge, the best I had ever seen! Room size was large and closet space available. Tea/coffee facilities (kettle and coffee machine) and water bottles provided. TV had all the popular apps so you can log in to watch. Plug points modern with also USB sockets. Free Wi-Fi, connection was super-fast. Worth the price due to the epic view directly to the sea and the Eastbourne Pier, however bit of a obstacle to go onto the balcony, you need additional step to get onto it, hand grippers on both sides of the door. The guest relations staff, night duty gentleman, dining staff to the Hotel Manager were wonderful and exceptional! Professional, friendly and genuinely kind staff. They surely go far and beyond to ensure you have a pleasant stay at the hotel. Certainly, London hotels could learn about pleasantries etiquette from Eastbourne! There was a gym in the hotel and beauty treatment facilities. Guest relations can book a local taxi upon your request. One min walk to all the restaurants from fish n chips to Asian food. Eastbourne Pier is a 2 minute walk and the other direction is the historical Wish Tower. Overall beautiful and lovely hotel and certainly would stay again due to the location is perfect!

    The only downside that room was really warm and there is no ac but windows can be open so we made it work. ☺️

    Interiors, ambience, lift, marbled tiled bathroom. Tidiness.

    Lovely hotel with a great location and friendly staff, only downside was we found a toenail on the floor of our room which had clearly been missed by the cleaners! Other than that it was perfect and we would definitely stay again if we're in Eastbourne.

    Welcoming and helpful staff. Excellent location on the Parade for our short stay. Spotless room. Only downside was the ‘dribble’ of water from the walk-in shower, which we assumed might have been a water pressure issue to our 4th floor accommodation. Otherwise a very enjoyable 2-night stay.
