Our stay at the Old town guest house was just lovely, comfortable room in a perfect location. Great breakfast and friendly service. We will certainly return.
Fantastic place to stay. Room was spacious and comfortable and a wonderful breakfast too. Quiet at night even though it’s situated right in the thick of things.
Room was small (shared bath) but had everything including a view. Breakfasts excellent, landlady very friendly & helpful. Right on the Front, lots of restaurants & cafes nearby.

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.
Fantastic location central to everything. Our host was extremely friendly. Breakfast was great.Room at the top was lovely with views of town below. We'll be back
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.
Tracey delivers a great welcome through to lovely accommodation and a lush breakfast. So nice to be offered quality at a reasonable price. It all felt personal. Thank you
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
Another wonderful stay with Tracy. Tracy is a fantastic host, breakfast is delicious and the guest house is very welcoming. Plus it’s in a superb location.
This was a great place to stay. The hosts were lovely, the room was very comfortable, the breakfasts delicious and the location couldn't have been better.
My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 days and have zero faults!
The entire place was incredibly clean and the beds were SO comfortable. On top of that, Tracey was lovely! The breakfasts were all expertly made (I made my way through a couple of them) and the entire stay had a homely feel that didn’t feel overpowering.
The room had amenities most hotels don’t provide, including Prime, Disney, Netflix and NowTV logged in on the tv.
The venue is bang in the middle of old town and literally a stones throw from the beach.
We’re already planning another trip and cannot thank Tracey enough for being such a wonderful host.
Absolutely loved our stay. The breakfast is yammy, location perfect and host lovely and helpful. Room was nice and everything super clean. Absolutely would stay here again!
Lovely little guesthouse in a perfect and quiet location in the Old Town / on the sea front.
Tracey is a wonderful host and the breakfast is fantastic!
I had a very pleasant stay at the Old Town Guest House. Tracey the owner was very friendly, helpful and fun. I loved my room it was comfortable with great facilities. Breakfast was delicious and the dining room was pleasant to eat in. The guesthouse was in the best location close to all the action which I loved I will definitely stay there again it was excellent.
The Old Town Guess House is a Fabulous place to stay.
As the name suggests its in Hastings Old Town.
We had a sea view ensuite room on the top floor which was absolutely lovely.
Tracey the owner is a true star and cooks up a fantastic English breakfast with home mage rosti which is to die for...
Will stay again and highly recommend.
Not for those that cant do stairs though!

bathroom
would have liked a door on the en-suite bathroom,also as the stairs are quite steep,another bannister would have been good
Tracey is a lovely host very friendly and readily available if needed. Our room was small but comfy, with a fan. Everything was clean and homely. Breakfast was lovely . Had a fantastic view of cable car from our bathroom. Would defiantly stay again but the stairs were too challenging. But would highly recommend.
Wir sind herzlich empfangen worden und es war ein rundum schöner Aufenthalt. Vielen Dank für das Entgegenkommen als die Bahn streikte.
Sollten wir wieder nach Hastings kommen, dann übernachten wir auf jeden Fall wieder bei dir.
Liebe Grüße
