How lovely to visit such a beautiful hotel, run by a family that really know how to look after their guests. When I say family, this hotel is run by the Kirby Family, but even though there are a couple of family members working in the hotel, the rest of the staff also welcomed us like an extended family and certainly not in an overbearing way. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into the hotel and swiftly checked in and made ourselves at home.
We settled into our room (which had very recently been renovated - and looked and felt very smart and fresh). Teas and Coffees provided of course from a tray on the dressing table, we sat and enjoyed the view from this perfectly appointed hotel across the bay and to the pier. The room had been prepared with care and little attentions to detail were certainly not overlooked by us, from the embroidered towels to the crisp linen on the bed, it was all good...
Once we had soaked in the restful and comfortable surroundings of our room, we ventured to the Langhams Bar, which was spacious, light and welcoming. We savoured a cappuccino each and my wife had a homemade shortbread, whilst I tucked into one of their flapjacks...!!! A must for anyone with a sweet tooth! Interestingly, there was a group of ladies in the bar having "Grand Afternoon Tea", which looked absolutely fabulous but having savoured our sweet treats, we decided to save that for another day! It did look good though and the selection of sandwiches and cakes was remarkable and certainly up there with the lavish afternoon teas we have experienced with Cunard & Oceania Cruises.
After a long stroll down the promenade we came back and freshened up for dinner. Another welcoming and enjoyable experience followed as we dined in the conservatory restaurant annexed to the main restaurant. I do believe it's one of the very few hotels on the seafront that has a restaurant directly on the front overlooking the sea and the experience, service, food and atmosphere was lovely.
After a very comfortable nights sleep and another positive experience in the restaurant over breakfast (which is all cooked to order - which is so much better than queuing up at a badly replenished buffet which so many other hotels do), it was time to check out.
Big praise for the wait & kitchen staff, housekeeping persons and everyone at the hotel that made our stay a great one...until the next time...Thanks a lot!

We attended The Langhams "Evening with the Crooners" with friends and decided to take advantage of the B&B package offered for our first stay here. We had a great evening, the entertainment from Duality during the meal and after from Dean Ager was enjoyable and the 4 course meal was very good. Staff were attentive and friendly and efficiently handled meal service for a full restaurant. Our inland room was modern, well maintained and very clean, with excellent bathroom facilities. The room is a reasonable size for 2 people and had everything you could need with seating for 2, a good selection of hot drinks, good linens and towels. The a la carte breakfast served in the conservatory offered a wide selection of options, and the staff were flexible for special requests, again well cooked and presented. Our first stay certainly didn't disappoint and we'll be back.

We were warmly welcomed as a group into the hotel, by the owner and family. Home made cake on arrival while the bags were taken to the room - just the start of the eating fest!
The food throughout the stay (5 days) was excellent, plentiful, hot with good choices (menus issued the previous night) and Father Christmas turned up with gifts and the alcohol flowed. Bar prices were not exorbitant and service was efficient.
The meal times were a little restrictive but as we were a group it was obviously the best way to do it, meaning there was not a lot of waiting time and the private guests were not inconvenienced either.
The rooms were clean and well equipped - just be aware that some of the rooms have a couple of steps directly outside - in theory they are accessible to all but might be a little bit difficult if it is a disabled guest - double check before arrival - the family are extremely helpful. There are some stunning seaview rooms with balconies.
Entertainment is provided for guests; music each night and the ubiquitous bingo - love it and always popular - there was a good turn out....
The hotel is on the promenade and about a 10 minute level stroll from the bandstand and a 20 minute walk to the town centre...buses and taxis are on hand.
I look forward to Christmas 2017...:)

A very nice place for a short getaway. The room was very nice clean tidy. Well stocked with tea coffee shampoos ect. Bathroom slippers and robes. The food we had was superb waiters were friendly and polite. We sat in the comfortable bar for a drink in the evening. The hotel was very clean throughout staff friendly and helpful. A great breakfast in the morning fruit or cereal followed by a full English toast and a selection of preserves to follow. The cost was also very reasonable.

A friend and I spent one night at this hotel the staff were very friendly and helpful, they didn't have the single rooms we booked but upgraded us to doubles at no extra cost, room was very clean and the shower room was exceptional. The food was lovely and not expensive,would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a good hotel at a very reasonable cost.

One can always tell when an owner/manager runs a tight ship. It was obvious in The Langham. Excellent service, spacious clean rooms, delicious breakfast and great location. Happy to recommend this hotel and Eastbourne is a much nicer town to spend a night than in big brother Brighton. A very well run hotel.

All the staff made us feel so welcome yesterday, when my family and I held my mother's funeral reception at The Langham. We had travelled from Norfolk and so we were grateful to find the staff so helpful both before and after the reception. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive and nothing was too much trouble. The buffet style food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed being in such a relaxed atmosphere with beautiful sea views. We can't thank you enough.

I have just spent my third Christmas at The Langham and it was great. The owners Neil and Wendy make you feel so welcome from the moment you arrive. My friend and I were in rooms 119 and 123 which were comfortable. The only point I would make is that because they are single rooms and space is limited there is nowhere to put your suitcase. We have already booked to spend Christmas again at The Langham.

We were given an afternoon tea voucher for the Langham and were not disappointed. Service was first class, and prompt, served in the conservatory overlooking the sea - not that much was visible at 4.30 on a December afternoon, but hey ho - must be very pleasant on a sunny day.

There's no point in describing an afternoon tea, but suffice to say the sandwiches were freshly made, as were the scones and a good variety of cake- no shop stuff here and there was plenty to eat too. Yes went away thoroughly replenished and happy.

Greeted before our feet had touched the pavement on our arrival by taxi. Cases carried in for us and next seen in superior room, adjacent to the lift, with a sea view. All staff throughout, from reception on arrival to reception at departure, welcoming, helpful, efficient and friendly, ever ready to respond to requests (except unable to secure a sustainable Internet connection - system understood to be due for a major overhaul next year). Clean throughout with a comfortable bed and lounge areas well furnished, especially for some of us content to 'stay indoors'. Food was excellent all through our stay and we could find nothing to complain about. Santa made his presence felt with thoughtful and generous gifts. Christmas was well and truly observed and celebrated. (Personal gripes - 'entertained' during Christmas Lunch by organist/singer which I felt was overloud and unnecessary and, should some background music be thought suitable, a cocktail pianist would suffice. A face-level light would make shaving less of a challenge! However, enough of the minor negatives for there are no more.)The Langham is to be congratulated for making Christmas a most pleasant experience for us and the staff, all of them, earned our thanks for a most enjoyable few days away from home.

My partner and I had the pleasure of spending our Christmas at the Langham.Due to my partner being very ill and had to spend 2 day in bed,Christmas Day and Boxing Day so was not able to celebrate with me and our friends.And I would like to say that from the owner right down to the nice lady that did our room were superb.All the table waiter/ess at every meal ask about her,The nice lady that cleaned our room think her name was Jared ( sorry if wrong ).Came to our room with a lovely home made biscuit with icing on,for her and wishing her well this was one of the high lights of our stay thank you.Cant name them all,but your kindness and endeavour to make sure she was ok ,was beyond anything that we expected.Even the chef when I asked if I could have some ice to sooth her throat,was polite and understanding again thank you.Sorry for going on.I do highly recommend this hotel,we have stayed in many hotels around the world.And the service provided by the Langham IS second to none.We were in room 209.May we wish one and all at the Langham a happy new year.
