Nice Seaview from the room and very large bed which was a bit soft for our liking. Separate toilet and shower room with no shower gel or hand wash in either 🤔. No restaurant in the hotel so no breakfast 🙃 but staff were helpful.

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).

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

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.
