    Great location, wonderfully warm welcome was given to us both, ( my companion is my Frenchie 🐶) By Eddy the proprietor of the Royal hotel 🤗. The room was situated on the 2nd floor, and was a lovely clean space, quiet even tho right in the heart of Eastbourne.

    Stairs.

    The fact that I could take my dog. In the room there was a water bowl and towel especially for my dog. Eddy the owner was a wonderful man, extremely helpful including carrying my suitcase up two flights of stairs. I will definitely stay there again. Thank you Ed for all your kindness.

    Nothing. It exceeded my expectations.

    The location was excellent. It was close to the pier and restaurants. I loved having the window open at night and hearing the waves. The room was on the small side as to be expected in this type of hotel but you really can't ask for a better place to stay. It was comfy and clean. Eddy was a great host. I highly recommend and will stay again should I be in the area.

    Nothing to complain about. I had a great time and a very relaxing stay. Will come back for sure as soon as possible. The beer in Brighton is too expensive ;-)

    I was running late for a regular check-in. Booking.com cancelled my reservation already but a telephone call at night to the hotel made the impossible possible. Excellent Service.

    Nothing really. We did have difficulty parking on Saturday night and ended up a 20-minute walk away but that's to be expected in the summer.

    We liked everything. This is a truly dog friendly establishment, very important to us. We loved our room overlooking the sea and prom. It was lovely to hear the sea crashing against the shore as we woke up. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We loved his dog, Boris!

    Nothing really.

    A wanted a low budget clean seaview room just for the very basic: sleeping take a shower change my clothes keeping my stuff and spending as much time as I can outside. It was perfect for that. The key card activated the electricity in my room, I like it. From the second floor single room, the seaview, was excellent. Great location.

    - personal touch - the owner puts his heart and soul into his hotel and it really shows - The owner of this hotel takes the comfort and well-being of his guests really seriously. A rarity nowadays! - directly at the beach - view of the beach (if you book accordingly)

    Very happy in all regards.

    Location is excellent being on the seafront and having a nice view of the pier not far away. We did not partake of breakfast but I'm sure it would have been very good indeed! The rooms and hallways had some nice, and well chosen pieces of furniture and art work which gave each room a personal touch. Parking is available with vouchers to use in most pay and display bays in the seafront area.

    Parking was a little awkward on the front as it gets extremely busy. This is however no reflection on the hotel, as you are given a parking permit for the length of your stay when you find a spot.

    The owner of this beautiful place was an absolute pleasure to meet and he couldn't do enough to make our stay more comfortable. We chose this place as fellow dog lovers and we were not disappointed. He was helpful, informative, friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful, more than ample for what we needed, fresh sheets/ towels daily and that view....stunning! The location couldn't be better, right on the sea front next to the Pier. Easy access into the town, local road train runs right past that allows you to' hop on, hop off' for the day which travels up and down Eastborne front. Thankyou for a wonderful stay, we cannot wait to return.
