Large hotel stuated across from the pier,parking at the rear for about 40 cars or so at £6 a day. Excellent buffet breakfast at £10 which is very popular with the guests. Staff are very helpful and courteous. The hotel is an old hotel and quite obviously needs some renovations and maintenance but I would stay here again, its in a really good location and comparing it to other hotels its very popular and very reasonably priced.

This hotel is very run down and tired. Food wasn't as good this year. Once again only the small lift was working. The saving grace of this hotel is the wonderfully staff. When we said we weren't happy with our room they immediately transferred us to a superior room. The dining room was often short staffed but the staff were very attentive and cheerful

You cannot fault the staff, who were polite and helpful. However, the property is in need of modernisation, or a refresh at the minimum. Whilst the breakfast was plentiful, most of the cooked breakfast was cold, sausages poor quality and coffee terrible. Sorry guys, I try to be as honest as I can, but this wasn’t our best experience.

The Burlington is a historic building and we were very pleased to see that some of the original features still there. But what really impressed us was the attention of the staff. Liam the receptionist gave us a warm and friendly welcome. We will recommend The Burlington to our friends

We loved the location we also booked an upgraded sea view room so we overlooked the pier with a wonderful sea view and view over the famous Eastbourne gardens. The only problem the hotel is such a large grade 2 listed building the the outside has suffered terribly and will cost millions to restore but at least its still open where others have been forced to close.
