Tracey was a brilliant hostess: friendly, helpful and always cheery. The breakfasts were excellent and while the room was somewhat compact, it had everything you need, including a very comfy bed! Stairs were a challenge, especially to one who has dodgy knees! Also, parking is an issue, although there is a dropping off zone. In all, a lovely stay and would return when next in Hastings.

No free parking or parking allowed anywhere in old town, had to use pay parking a 10 min walk away, which we were not aware of when booking. Bedroom was small, ensuite decent. The included breakfast was excellent. Host was very good.

Exceptional value for price, amazing choice for breakfast & everything very clean. Lots of eating places close by. I was aware when booking that there were stairs & although I coped ok, I would advise that for anyone disabled, even with a walking stick, that the staircase would be impossible. Otherwise a lovely stay & lovely manager.

A really nice stay

Nice two nights stay in a very good location. I especially loved the bathroom as it was spacious and with a view to the East Hill. The stairs are tricky if you have a large suitcase, but I got wonderful service and mine was taken down for me. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from within 500 m. The buses to the railway station run 200 m from the door so that’s also nice.

would stay again - great breakfast, friendly host

Tracy was very friendly and helpful. It was nice of her to honour our booking even though the website should not have allowed us to book for only a single night. The breakfast was excellent. The rooms look much nicer in person than in the photos. Very happy with our experience - would stay again

The stay at Tracey’s guesthouse was absolutely phenomenal. So welcoming and lovely. All started with a very detailed communication beforehand, wanting to make sure I had everything I needed for arrival and access to the place. Very thoughtful. The experience continued with the fresh smell at the entrance and in my room. The room was charming, cozy and had everything it needed: hairdryer, fluffy blankets and soft robe and pillows. I especially loved the view of the beach and funicular. The mattress is sagging a little bit, that would be my only criticism. But highlight was definitely breakfast: you get to choose from a menu of 7 or 8 options and it is all prepared freshly for you. And I really annoyed the lovely little chats at breakfast with Tracey and the other guests. She made us all feel very at home. I would highly recommend staying here! Thanks again for the hospitality!
