I like to congratulate chambermaid Angela, she went out of her way to help me, even beyond her job description I was staying in room 218 on Saturday night 29 October this lady was very kind to me and helped that evening even out of her own expense.

In general the hotel was very good, food is excellent,

I was at The Langham with my wife on a bowling tour early in September. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The standard of the room and all other places at the hotel were very high and the staff helpful.

I have stayed at the Langham a few times. I get about on crutches now and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. I found the car valet service very helpful as the carpark is quite away from the hotel and on road parking is at a premium. I had wanted a room with a sea view but was told there were none available. I was delighted to find one had been made available.
The hotel is always busy with various functions and yet you aren't bothered by excessive noise.

Stayed at the Langham Hotel for the weekend of 28/10/16---30/10/16 for a Masonic Ladies Festival, we all had a great time, the staff so helpful and polite and the food to die for, it was beautifully presented and a wine selection was found to be better than average, the rooms where excellent ( it was nice to get a single room with a sea view instead of being tucked round the back over looking a carpark ) all things considered the hotel is good value, we hope to be back soon

We had a very enjoyable two night break celebrating our friends’ son’s 18th birthday. Right from our arrival we were greeted by friendly helpful staff. We were a little early but our luggage was labelled, looked after and taken to our room when it was ready. Our room, Amberley, was superb with plenty of space despite having to accommodate both of us, our friend’s daughter and her wheelchair. The sea view was good and the décor & furnishings were lovely. There was a table & comfy chairs in the bay window & a sofa on one side of the room. We also liked the walk in shower. We all slept well on comfy beds.

There was a good choice on both the breakfast and lunch menus. The food was cooked and presented excellently. The celebrations had been organised well and the staff were attentive and efficient without being intrusive.

Throughout our stay nothing was too much trouble. Well done to Wendy, Neil and all their staff.

My wife bought me a signed copy of their book, Celebrity Hotel by Neil Kirby as told to Paul James. I’ve only had it a couple of days but am already a third of the way through as I am finding it very interesting and entertaining. It is certainly well worth a read.

Just got back from a fabulous weekend celebrating our son's 18th birthday party where a small family function was organised by the hotel, everything went so smoothly and the staff and owners where fantastic. The room we celebrated was perfect and the 3 course dinner was fantastic ( first class). Well done to the chef and the waiters/waitresses they where very attentive.

The bedroom had a sea view and was extremely comfortable and the breakfast had so much choice. Overall a fantastic stay and the memories will last forever. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting arrange a function or just to have a relaxing break.

We last visited this hotel about 10 years ago. The current owner had only recently taken it on. The place was in need of a little TLC.

It has certainly had that. Everything about the hotel has improved. During my original visit the decor and furniture were tired. The staff were also a little stretched. The owner having to help out in the kitchen at times.

All this has changed it is now a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

We were on a half board package.and found both the breakfasts and evening meals of very good quality. The service was also of the highest standard.

The owner although no longer helping out in the kitchen was in evidence throughout and even helped with the luggage.

We plan to return and it won't take another 10 years

Great hotel, nothing is too much trouble. We do a lot of hotels and whilst some may claim to offer excellent service the staff here are truly awesome. The food is always good, breakfast is ok, not great but ok. The bar is good, the rooms are great. We would recommend this hotel any time and as long as they keep this up (we've been 3 times) we will return. Well done.

We came to The Langham to celebrate our anniversary. The owner Neil Kirby personally welcomed us and helped us with our luggage. I bought his book Celebrity hotel on our last visit and I highly recommend it.
My boyfriend booked a brand new room called Arundel, beautiful room overlooking the sea. Great facilities. I loved the towels and dressing gowns with Langham logo on them what a great attention to detail.
We tried the afternoon tea and it's one of the best ones I've ever had.
The whole stay was wonderful.
We will definitely be back.

Three night stay in the Arundel room, spacious and comfortable premium rate room with sea view. High levels of service in all areas, front desk, housekeeping, restaurant and bar. Plenty of menu choice breakfast and dinner and good quality food at reasonable prices - 2 course dinner for £15. This and other sea view rooms overlook the Royal Parade which is a very busy through road with plenty of traffic from early morning until late at night. Unfortunately the double glazing is not adequate for the job and as a result the noise becomes quite obtrusive. As a result I would have to say that £195 pn B & B is a bit pricy. Otherwise really good quality hotel.

I stayed here with my husband and son. We had a sea view room with amazing views. The room was very clean and spacious. Facilities in the room included a good selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate including biscuits.

Staff were very professional and friendly throughout our stay. Breakfast was good with a great selection and was impressed with the service both at dinner and breakfast. Food was also very tasty.

We would definitely stay here again and great value for money.

Originally booked for 1 night then added another night. The sound of the sea and the fresh air was great.
A bit expensive but the breakfast made up for it. No standard buffet this is swerved to to you on a plate.
Good wifi, parking on the street free after 6pm. Nice bay view window, hotel had a lift and right next to the bus stop.
Well worth a visit if you get a room overlooking the prom

We drove into Eastbourne just in time for lunch and thought the Langham hotel looked like a nice spot, we popped into the hotel and found all the public areas to be well decorated and maintained. We ordered lunch from the bar menu, choosing coffee, soup and scones which we enjoyed on the terrace overlooking to sea. Food was all very tasty with good flavours and excellent presentation. The scones in particular were very good, sizeable and served with quality jam and cream. Having picked up a leaflet at the bar on winter stays and having both liked the hotel I spoke to the reception staff to enquire on any weekend DBB offers and found them very helpful so hope to be planning a stay in the new year.

A weekend treat for my mum, who has stayed at the Langham for many years either with my father, and after he passed away, with friends or club outings.So we knew it had to live up to her expectations..and it did, lovely, friendly helpful staff, often very busy, but with time for everyone. Neil who owns the hotel couldn't have been more helpful and accommadating when making the booking, his team are an accolade to him. Very useful to use hotel parking facilities at a nominal daily charge.

We booked afternoon tea here on Sunday 9th October.
Lovely tea, beautifully presented. Sat in the Conservatory overlooking the sea ( even saw a Rainbow) Great service. Fully recommend. Couldn't manage to eat all the cakes so they happily gave us a doggy bag to take them home with us. Great value at £15 a head

One of the best hotels we have stayed in. From the time we were greeted by a member of staff to the time we left five days later, nothing was to much trouble. Our luggage was delivered promptly to our room. Room 118 was a lovely surprise, being both modern, extremely clean and comfortable ( only draw back was the noise from the kitchen extractor fans). The food at the Langham is of 5* quality, the waiting staff where friendly, polite and helpful. The entertainment was enjoyable but because it is in the lower ground floor the room can get very warm. We would like to think that one day we would like to return to this lovely hotel.

We have just had the most fantastic weekend away at this superb hotel. As a family run business nothing is left to chance and nothing is too much trouble. We were made to feel like royalty all weekend. The staff from the owners to the cleaners were all friendly, helpful, courteous and charming and made our stay one to remember. The food prepared by the chefs was second to none, breakfast was served to you freshly cooked and everyone's dietary needs were met without exception. The package for Masonic Weekends covers every need for a Festival Secretary at a very affordable price. The owners of the Langham, Neil and Wendy go the extra mile to ensure everything is just right. A lovely couple with an exceptional hotel and staff. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel not only for Masonic Weekends but for everything from a romantic break to a wedding. Family friendly, warm and welcoming.

Booking via international phone call was smooth due to the excellent help of Claire. When we checked in and got to our room, there was an issue which Simon immediately rectified and placed us in an upgraded room. Then, someone else was parked in our reserved spot but Paul simply gave us a different space. Restaurant staff were friendly and helpful. Especially Lucas. Highly recommend this renovated historic property not just because it is beautiful, but the staff are excellent at customer service. The only thing keeping us from a 5 star review is the odd shower. Because of the way the shower floor was sloped, the water from your shower simply flowed onto the rest of the floor. We used towels to sop up the water, but because there is no shower door, this will always leak. Not a big deal for us.

We hosted a Ladies Festival at the Langham last weekend and we are so pleased we chose this as our venue. Right from the start we were impressed by the friendly and professional approach from all the team. The attention to detail was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. Everything went very smoothly and we all had a brilliant time. The Lodge has booked the Langham for next years event and we cannot wait. This hotel is a real gem in Eastbourne.

The attention to detail coupled with the excellent and friendly service makes the Langham stand out not just against other hotels in Eastbourne but with any hotel including the major upmarket brands.

An indication of the exceptional pride they take is that even the polished chrome light switches must be cleaned daily as there isn’t a finger print to be seen.

A family run hotel where nothing is too much for their guests.

Rare for Eastbourne, the Langham has 9 parking spaces that can be booked in advance.

My husband, myself & 2 friends visited the Langham Hotel conservatory restaurant & found the food delicious. The service was very good & the waitress & waiters were very attentive without being intrusive. However, the noise of a disco @ a private function next to the conservatory was dreadful. We couldn't hear ourselves talk as the noise was deafening. The waiting staff did everything they could to keep the noise down but as they had to use the door frequently to get to & from the kitchen, it was all to no avail. We would go back again as the food was so nice, but would ensure there wasn't a private function on the same day.

We recently booked a table for 12 of our family and friends to celebrate our Silver Wedding anniversary on a Sunday Jazz Lunch at the hotel. The food was terrific as usual, large portions of a very tasty selection from a balanced menu which did not disappoint. A glass of bubbly to start, great music played by a live jazz band in the restaurant and the most delicious roast beef from the carvery trolley all served by smiling happy and efficient staff. Fabulous and brilliant value for money. We'll definitely be back!!
