Staff were all really lovely and helpful. Breakfast was really nice, with nothing lacking. The bed was nice and comfortable, on the firm side, which I like. The only negative was that the TV could have been a bit bigger

Only stayed one night but found all staff were exceptionally helpful and professional. Our room was furnished in a modern stylish fashion and was spotlessly clean. The view from our balcony was exactly as one would wish ~ panoramic span of Eastbourne seafront. Whilst being extremely close to the beach and sea, the double glazed windows and sliding door were so effective that there was virtually no noise entering the room. Would not hesitate to recommend The View Hotel to friends and will certainly visit again. Thank you very much for a lovely, relaxing short stay!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The hotel was a really nice place to stay. We were in Eastbourne for the tennis and it was close to that and we had a beautiful view of the seafront. The room was quite spacious and the breakfast was very nice. We also visited the cafe for dinner one night and used the gym. Had a really enjoyable stay here and would recommend.
