Five+ Stars Langham! For the third time staying at this hotel, we were not disappointed. The staff were really friendly and enjoyed looking after us always with a smile. No cobewebs to be found!
The food was cooked to perfection, served with a smile, on very hot plates when needed. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked again for next year! Well done Langham Hotel

Excellent standard in every way for our 5 day stay.The staff were very polite and helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them and they always seemed happy in their work. There were always plenty of staff for any task.
The food was very tasty, varied and very well presented.Homemade flapjack was delicious. All aspects of the hotel were very clean and suitable.Parking, at this time of year, in very local streets was no problem at all. Will be very happy to return again in the future.

I stayed there with my wife for 4 nights whilst doing business in Eastbourne. I choss the hotel after a lot of research on Trip Advisor.

We had a great stay they provided me with just the room we had asked for. It was warm and comfortable. On the top floor it had a great sea view.

Meals were good quality. The breakfast menu was extensive and all the food we received was cooked fresh. The three course evening meal menu was changed daily and again was excellent value for money.

In terms of value for money it was a great deal. I will def stay again next time I am in Eastbourne.

PS worth noting that the hotel thrives in winter on small events and groups... but that did not bother us at all as we ate in a separate area overlooking the sea.... and the service was first class.

My husband and I regularly attend Jazz lunches at the Langham-they are wonderful. The service is first class, so is the food/wine, having beef [local farm] carved from the trolley by your table, is a sheer delight. Furthermore the food is always served on hot plates.
We can't fault anything about these events and that is why we attend every one of them.
In general we only have the highest regard for this establishment-are always treated well with attentive staff and a varied menu which we are always happy with.
The wines are also very much to our taste and we have no complaints whatsoever!
I could go on and on ....................

Our Ruby wedding was on the same day as the Langham hotels Valentine night .12 of us booked in for the Saturday night and what a great night it was.The duo called Duality they had singing that night was so perfect for a romantic evening.
We have used this hotel before and the staff always treat us as friends but are always very professional. The owners Neil Kirby and his wife Wendy are such perfect hosts. The food is always first class and the service excellent. The rooms are beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Would always recommend this hotel for the perfect stay.

We spent Friday & Saturday night at the Langham as part of the Regimental reunion and have got to report that we enjoyed every minute.
What a lovely change to book into a hotel that had a personality and where you actually felt welcomed. Nice touch to be assisted to our rooms with the luggage.
At all times staff were friendly, helpful and Smiley.. and believe me a smile goes a long way..
We were lucky enough to have booked a seaview room which was great.
We enjoyed the food on both nights and for our 'black tie' night the staff had just the right amount of attentiveness.
Well done the Langham and well done to John & Heidi for the organisation.

Just spent Friday and Saturday night at the Langham Hotel as part of a reunion weekend. From the moment we arrived the staff were extemely helpful and friendly. The food was first class and the service was excellent. I would certainly return and would also recommend to friends.
If I have any criticisim it would be that the bar prices were quite expensive 4.40 for a G&T and we had quite a few!!!!! and What's going on with having to check out by 10.30am some of us were just getting to bed!!! Seriously a fantastic weekend. Thanks for the great service.
And to RQMSRHC, thanks for your organisation and lets have the same next year.

Visited the Langham Hotel with a party of nine from local Bowls Club for a "Jazz Lunch" in the hotel's restaurant) and although we had a great time (Can't miss with the personalities involved) there were a few bum notes. We could not get in until 1.30 pm and although we were politely led to the bar to wait no menus were handed out which was what we expected. Once we were taken to our table we encountered The Jazz trio's "interval" so it was silent apart from the chatter from a whole raft of tables. However, we were taken off the main floor and positioned in an alcove to the right from which the the musicians - who eventually came back on - were not visible. It didn't matter because they were not much to look at and never smiled (apparently). And of course we could still hear them (if we strained our ears a little). Meanwhile, despite a phalanx of restaurant staff it took quite a while for us to be consulted about what we would like to eat and in the end it arrived in dribs and drabs - mostly drabs. My wife's chicken was crusty and vegetables, when we eventually got them, were cold. Apologies were offered. The potatoes were in two dishes but only enough for us to have two each. We asked for more and were assured we'd get them, but it just didn't happen. We tried to compensate with extra cauliflower which, by contrast, was in abundance but we all found it hard, unyielding and fairly tasteless. Several of us had the sirloin of beef off the trolley and although this was a laborious process via the young fellow who clearly hadn't much experience of it, the carved meat was pretty good and tasty - even though I was served with an "endy-bit" which I, as someone who doesn't like waste, consumed but shouldn't have been asked to. The starters were varied and I had a lovely plum-tomato soup. For dessert I chose an excellent crepes suzette with vanilla ice-cream (you could have ice cream or fresh cream, although not both) but I had to pay a supplement. The whole thing was listed at £19.90 a head for three courses but with a couple of bottles of decent wine (which must have been expensive) the entire bill for nine came to £226. By about 3 pm. the jazz trio had long since played the Last Post and gone off quietly but that was no great loss even if we didn't get to hear much of them any way. Before we left the owner (the charming Neil) greased up to our table and told us all about himself and asked, I think, if we had enjoyed our meal. We didn't really have the courage to tell him the true story - he will learn it here and from his waiting staff) because he was clearly very proud of what he had provided (probably all in his book which he kept on about) and we didn't like to upset him..

The Langham Hotel played host to a party of 55 Serving Soldiers and Old Comrades from all over the UK and Germany this last weekend. From the moment we started to arrive and check in the hospitality and service was outstanding which in itself only complemented the wonderful surroundings and facilities the Langham has to offer its guests. The rooms are all recently renovated, extremely well appointed, decorated and comfortable.
The quality of the cuisine, wines and beverage selection on offer was without doubt first class. Regimentally we have always prided ourselves on demanding the highest standards from our soldiers and in return treat them with the same, catering being one area that affects us all. The Langham obviously works to that same principle, the food was superb and plenty of it.
The atmosphere that was generated by all of the staff went to enhance our experience immensely, all were extremely pleasent, professional and helpful at all times.The whole operation is masterminded and directed by Neil and Wendy who are consumate professionals in their field and we are indebted to them for all the additional time and effort they took on our behalf to make our weekend event a superb success. In summary the Langham offers an extremely good "value for money" experience. We look forward to our booking for 2014. Very many thanks to our new friends in Eastbourne.

Spent the weekend here as part of a reunion weekend and wanted for nothing all weekend. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful, rooms comfortable and food was very good. Bar prices are a little high but I am Scottish ! Will definitely be back.

We stayed at The Langham for a couple of days 17/18 Feb. A double and family room, (both sea views) Both very comfortable. We have stayed here on several occasions in the last 6 years, and have seen the hotel grow as it has been refurbished, On every visit we have been welcomed by the friendly staff, and cannot rate the hotel strongly enough. The accomodation and food are excellent. Nothing seems to be to much trouble, Congratulations to the owners of the hotel, who have one of the best hotels in Eastbourne.

Stayed for another excellent night at the Langham for the Valentines dinner and dance with my Husband, son, daughter and their partners and it was a very enjoyable experience.The tables were beautifully decorated, the food was very good, and the team remembered our food allergies, and my red bushTea ! The rooms were very clean, warm and spacious, with lovely views across the sea. The team made our Grand daughter very welcome when she joined us for breakfast.When we came to the dance last year we were waiting for her to be born.We are now looking forward to coming to another one of their Jazz lunches or popping in for a meal in the conservatory or one of their cream teas.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Langham. We had a room with a sea view which was nice and big comfy bed and hot shower. Nothing was to much trouble for the friendly staff.

We had snacks and drinks from the bar and also eat in the restaurant the service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable.

We booked to go to the Valentine Dinner & dance and decided to stay overnight at the hotel . We were very pleased with our room, it was quite large and overlooked the sea, the bed was very comfortable and the room very clean, it may have needed a little maintence, but had a nice large bathroom and very good shower and had everything we needed, we asked for some extra pillows and towels when we went down for some coffee and by the time we got back to our room they were on the bed.
We didn't know what to expect for the dinner dance as we had never been to a function there before and we were very impressed, we had a glass of bubbly at the reception & there was a photographer there for people wishing to have their photos taken. We then went into the dinning room and it had been done extremly well with red bows around the chairs and red ballons and little red heart confetti sprinkled on the white table cloths. The staff were brilliant and had everything so well organized, the food was served quickly and efficiciently and was absolutly delicious. There was a duo singing I think called Duality and they had everyone up dancing as they sang a good variety of songs, it was a really good atmosphere. Next morning we had a very good breakfast before coming home. Very well run hotel and looking forward to going to another function there again.

Booked on the way down from London on a Saturday. Easy booking with well-spoken receptionist. Terrific single room. Compact and just what was needed. Lovely shower room with good soaps shampoos etc. Full length mirror, one stool, one chair and desk, sitting mirror and hairdryer. Nice bed, clean fluffy towels and even hot chocolate amongst the tea and coffee! The shade on the light above the bed was loose, probably caused when cleaning, so I tightened it up at no charge :-) Some hotels claim to have a reception area when they don't. Here there is always someone around reception if needed. Nice selection of bottle bitters in the bar too, so another plus particularly for real alers like me. Great breakfast in pleasant surroundings. Can't fault any of the staff I met. My second stay and I don't think I'll bother to look for another hotel when in Eastbourne next. Came back completely relaxed. A steady hand on the tiller here I suggest! Gladly recommended.

We moved here from the appalling Hilton Royal Parade next door! Everything at this hotel is 100%. Friendly staff who couldn't do enough for you. spotlessly clean. Food excellent. The bar food is brilliant even the coffee comes with flapjack and biscuits. We were shown the superior rooms which are stunning.

We booked a two night break at the hotel following a recommendation from friends. We were not disappointed. The hotel is located on the seafront close to the pier, with easy access to the promemenade. Our room was on the first floor and had a bay window which gave us a lovely view of the sea and all of the activity on the seafront. The room was spacious and very clean. The service from all of the staff was exceptional. A condition of the booking was a meal in the hotel restaurant. This proved to be excellent as well. Although the weather was unpleaant, the hotel, food and staff made up for it.

We stayed for 1 night last saturday.when we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the reception staff.we had booked a parking space which we found,Quickly.It was only 12pm,but our room was ready,what a bonus.
we were in a deluxe seaview room on the 3rd floor ,the seaview was amazing from both windows,and the room lovely and cosy.
we didnt eat in the restaurant but had a drink in the bar which was lively and good atmosphere.
we had a great nights sleep,and when we came down for breakfast,we were greeted warmly,and given a choice of where to sit.
we chose the conservatory,with a lovely view again(even if it was raining).
the waitress took our order which was cooked fresh,and came very quick.It was lovely.
Overall this is a fantastic hotel,and the friendlieness of the staff was amazing,we will stay here again,and feel we got a great deal.Thank you to the Langham.

Have stayed at this hotel twice now. First time was on a function with a large group. The food, service and cleanliness of the hotel were very good. During this stay my wife and I won a prize for one night stay, 3 course dinner and breakfast. We waited nearly a year to take advantage of this and in that time, the hotel was placed under different management. We have just returned from that "free" trip and I can report that the standards have not dropped. We have a lovely room with sea view, great 3 course dinner (the steaks were great) and a nice breakfast this am. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Considering we were on a freebie their service was first class from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Very impressed and we will return.

This hotel has been a regular venue for our local swimming club annual party involving a dinner,disco and overnight stay for those wishing to take advantage of a long weekend.
I have taken this opportunity to comment mainly on the excellent meal some 60 of us were served on the Saturday evening. We had a choice from 4 main dishes and all were served up by tables, hot (with hot plates),all were cooked to perfection and everyone was of the same opinion.
The staff were cheerful and most helpful. The rooms were clean and well prepared..

Our stay was for a motorcycle club function, dinner, dance, entertainment and overnight stay, with breakfast and secure overnight parking, all at very reasonable cost. Our room was superb, with four poster bed and sea view. Absolutely spotless and with every possible need catered for.
The food was first class, with plenty of well trained staff to ensure that it arrived at the tables hot and without delay and special dietary needs had been well taken care of. The entertainment had all been arranged by the Hotel and again could not be faulted.
After a very comfortable night we enjoyed an excellent breakfast, with enough variety available to satisfy all tastes.
In short, an excellent independent Hotel, punching well above its weight, with well trained and attentive staff.

We stayed here this weekend for a group function. Greeted on reception and cases taken straight to our beautiful room (212) with a sea view. We stay in lots of good hotels and this room was as good as (and better) than many 5 stars we have stayed in. Spotlessly clean and with a very comfortable bed. And important to us girlies you had a light over the mirror, you could plug your straighteners in next to it, tissues, sewing kit etc and nice toiletries. The staff were very professional, food was very good, sirloin steak the first night and gorgeous lamb steak the next. I personally couldn't fault the hotel and am sure that anybody who stays will enjoy it. Friends of ours had a room that was very clean but dated compared to ours so I presume that some of the rooms are being updated, however we saw no sign of refurbishment going on so I can only presume that the management have organised this so as ther is no diruption to guests.
Will definately stay again. Plenty of pubs around but probably not an ideal resort for under 40's although we didn't have a really good look around so maybe some things tucked away.

Just wanted to say a very big thank you for making our weekend stay at the Langham hotel such a memorable one. The staff were highly professional, the experience exquisite with a home from home atmosphere.
Once again thank you and very well done to such a magnificent team.

Kind regards
Mr & Mrs A. Ridgewell

A family funeral brought us to Eastbourne. We didn't know Eastbourne - or its hotels - at all - so we decided to stay overnight at the hotel the funeral reception was being held at - 'The Langham'. For value for money the hotel deserves top marks. The reception we received was friendly and efficient. The two rooms we had booked were clean and comfortable. Our breakfast (the cost of which was included in our very reasonable overnight rate) was excellent. I had pre-booked one of the three parking spaces at the hotel and when I asked if that booking slot could be extended to cover the time of the funeral reception my request was granted with much grace - and with no request for extra payment. The only quibble I had was that there was absolutely no power to our shower in Room 305. Hopefully an upgrade to the shower is in the pipeline!

I wrote a review about this Hotel in August, having spent a couple of nights in what I can only assume was one of the few remaining rooms yet to have been refurbished.
I feel it would be totally unfair of me not to share the follow-up response I got from Simon Brown, Revenue Manager at Langham Hotel.
Mr Brown rang me on the strength of my TripAdvisor review, and we talked through my weekend 'experience'. It was acknowledged that the said-Room was not up to par with those that had been refurbished, and that he could understand my disappointment.
I went to great lengths to explain that my review was not made with the intention of gaining any kind of financial recompense, as I do not feel that should have been the case.
However, after a lengthy call, Mr Brown said he would put me an offer in the post, which he kindly did.
I still have the letter, but do not intend to take up the kind offer, but I would like others to know that The Langham Hotel Management Team do listen to their critics (us, their customers), and clearly do their best to remedy issues.
The very kind offer of a complimentary stay in an up-graded sea view room (incl. Breakfast) was turned down (again, this was not about getting a 'Freebee', or any costs refunded). I was more than content(and impressed) that my issues had been dealt with in a really professional manner.
Thank You Mr Brown. I can see from more recent reviews that people clearly enjoy this Hotel. I like to think that when in Eastbourne again we would give The Langham another chance - but maybe ask for a different room, just in case.
