Always welcoming and a properly staffed reception. Lovely rooms at the front. Stocked bar with a very handy pizza & beer offer for £12. Quality linens in the rooms. Unrestricted parking 50yds away. The Strand has become my 'go to' for Eastbourne and I usually stay there twice a month (having tried 7 or 8 other hotels along the strip).

Location is perfect for the beach and walking distance to restaurants. Parking is horendous. The lift didn't work when we visited, which was not ideal for 4 people with health and mobility issues, we were on the 2nd floor. The staires are quite rickety and winding. There wasn't air conditioning, but they did provide a fan. Our toilet seat was broken, we did report it, but was told it was a bank holiday weekend so nothing could be done. The staff we spoke to were lovely. All in all,you get what you pay for. It could do with updating alot as I noted alot of flaking paint and water damage. Would I come to Eastbourne again, yes, this hotel, no.

The stay was average, we got what we paid for, but the staff member on the front desk was amazing. We can't complain for £57 for the night, especially as we were only staying after a family funeral

We used this a base for the beachyhead marathon. Was perfect for our needs. No lift though so expect to be tackling multiple flights of stairs through the labyrinthine property. It was very reasonably priced for location. Though that does translate to the amenities, but if you are looking for a short stay budget option with a bar open 24 hours for guests and 24 acess to pizza, its a great shout and will save you a few quid. Its about 5 or 10 minutes from some excellent local pubs. Though finding parking will be a struggle, but thats the burnden of staying on the grand parade.

Very clean property fairly close to the centre of town. We booked single rooms which are hard to find these days and they were perfect for us. We even had a sea view at a great price. Housekeeping came every day. The room was very warm and the windows didn't open but I brought a fan from home so it was fine.
