Like many post war buildings on Eastbourne seafront, the hotel shows it's age in it's physical state and basic amenities. Cleanliness is excellent and what continues to make the once Majestic still Majestic is the friendly, attentive and hospitable attention of the staff. They work with a smile and, by the way, the breakfast buffet is excellent.

We were very disappointed. Was very unclean in the room, there was a horrible smell and extremely dusty. There was pigeon feathers and a tampon on our floor! Very evident they had not cleaned it. Did not provide breakfast for room with 3 single beds. Said they do daily cleaning but only clean room once during our 3 night stay! Overall terrible experience and will not come again

🌟 A Truly Majestic Experience in Eastbourne 🌟 From the moment I arrived at The Majestic Hotel, I felt genuinely welcomed. The elegant yet homely atmosphere set the tone for a wonderful stay, and every staff member exuded warmth and professionalism. 🏩 My newly refurbished room offered a breathtaking sea view—fresh, serene, and spotless. The hotel provides a range of beautifully presented rooms to suit all preferences. 🍽️ Mealtimes were a treat! Every dish was full of flavour, made with care, and served with genuine smiles. 🍸 The lounge and bar area are perfect for relaxing, and the patio out front is ideal for soaking in the sea breeze with a drink in hand. 🎶 Light entertainment on Wednesdays and Fridays adds to the magic—fun, lively, and utterly enjoyable. 💫 Special thanks to the lovely receptionist, the charming bartender, and the outstanding manager—the heartbeat of the hotel. 👨‍🍳 Tip: Ask about the beef lasagne—comforting, delicious, and reminiscent of my mum’s homemade version. 🙏 To the entire team: thank you for an unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be back! 📣 Don’t wait—book now and experience the charm for yourself.

Unfortunately 1st room was dirty / windows were cracked had to ask for different room. Second room was ok but didn't realise until too late that towel rail didn't work. No control over heating in room so was cold & had to complain. Management controlled heating. No way to contact reception from room. Window wall was damp in the morning. Bed uncomfortable. Wouldn't recommend anyone to stay here. The two members of staff were pleasant & tried to help. We asked for tea bags & milk for room but they had run out. Ran out off the parking permits. We stayed because it was too late to find another hotel & we weren't there long but wouldn't go back. Also upon arrival we were told we had to pay upfront which I was very unhappy about. Think Expedia should take this hotel off their website.

Avoid and believe the bad reviews.

If i could rate this a zero i would. Read the bad reviews and believe them. Reception is decorated lovely and gives a great first impression and corridors, stairs clearly had new carpet.... that is where it ends. I moved rooms twice and had to pay to get into the third room. Think old university halls of residence being amazing compared to this. Rooms and corridors smell of cigarette smoke , no hot water, paint splashes on everything , tv remotes look like they have been dug up , stained sheets, uncomfortable mattresses, bar poorly stocked ( barman said he was embarrassed to be there), reception not manned. Dirty plates and tables left in the restaurant . Ants in the rooms. I could go on. I was told it was undergoing refurbishment and not all rooms were done, this should be made clear on booking. The last room i went into had been re done allegedly, window wouldn"t stay open and one wouldnt open, cracked , filthy and covered in paint. Finished to a very poor standard with bare splintered wood showing. Thick dust on ledges and skirting. Room not cleaned daily as advertised. Out of date coffee sachets in the room.The managers/owners sat drinking all night in the bar and were very stand offish when I complained refusing to accept anything was wrong. 3 times checked my hot water and just kept telling me I had to go and run it ,left for 10 mins and still cold. It does not deserve the 3 star rating. The pictures on the site are completely deceiving . Spend your money elsewhere.
