This was a Shearings 5 day break. Like a lot of old hotels, they have seen better days.
The Restaurant, bar and entertainment area's were clean and well decorated.
Our room was a little 'tired', but it was clean, plenty of tea and coffee available and a TV. The bathroom also was clean, but tired.
The food was tasty and sufficient. The service was excellent.
For the price, this was excellent value.
Just one complaint - smokers congregated outside at the main entrance causing congestion and the inevitable smell.

Lovely hotel right on the front overlooking the sea and the pier. The room was very spacious as was the bathroom. Beds very comfortable with lovely crisp white linen. Plenty of towels in bathroom. Tea and coffee making facilities in room although they did not provide any biscuits! Hairdryer also provided. Could do with a towel rail nearer to the sink and the toilet roll holder needed to be closer to the toilet! Restaurant very clean and inviting. The food was excellent with a good choice. Evening entertainment was very good and the lounge and seating areas were comfortable. One of the lifts only holds 2 people but there is another one which accommodates 5 people. The staff were all very friendly and extremely helpful.

My husband and I have just returned from a 4 day break at The Burlington Hotel in Eastbourne. We had a lovely time, the food was excellant and the staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel is quite old and has a lot of character, the downside to this is being disturbed by creaking floorboards from above whilst trying to sleep.
The entertainer calked Mark was brilliant, he played several waltz's for the older generation and they loved it. He even got them up to dance with him ( a really good sport). His quips and jokes were brilliant.
All in all I would stay at the Burlington again.

Four night stay, half board with Shearings. We paid extra for sea view double room.
Easy check in, Luggage taken to room by staff. Two lifts, one holds 4 people the other only 2. Room 407 is huge and has a great sea view. It is tired and could really do with a refurbishment. The carpet is stained, windows mouldy and tv old with a few basic channels. Wooden coat hangers provided and the sachets of coffee & tea nice top brands. A couple of plug sockets so no fighting when charging phones. Tiled bathroom with shower over bath. Cracked tile and no bathroom window blinds. Plenty of hot water, powerful shower. I reported drooping shower head and it was fixed straight away. We are tall and prefer bath sheets. Only small bath towels provided but changed daily. Two small bars of soap and shaver socket provided. Bed was clean but springs could be felt in the mattress. The temperature was comfortable & we both slept well. A room was getting a refirb next to ours so the hotel is improving and modernising.
We had quick friendly service from the staff and really enjoyed lovely three course meals every night. We both have big appetites and did not feel hungry. We both had full English with poached eggs, fruit juice, coffee, prunes and grapefruit. A nice pot of tea for him and a nice pot of coffee for me. Toast, jam & marmalade every morning. See my photos.
Being under 50 the entertainment was not to our taste and we were unable to get a seat in the busy entertainment area anyway. We only enjoyed drinks at the hotel when we could use our 8 free drinks vouchers. Other nights we avoided the high prices at the bar by visiting Lloyds & Wetherspoons a short walk away. Other nights we bought alcohol from the local supermarket and watched the rubbish tv in our room.
A bus stop is just down the road opposite the pier so we had a lovely day trip into Hastings.
Lots of grey hair customers and young European staff.
Our cases were taken down to coach on day of departure but had to be out side room door for 7am.
We enjoyed our stay and will return hopefully to a refurbished room.

Three night stay at this Hotel ,don't really know how to describe it ,So first of all ll Reception staff were a little dismissive of us had to wait until they had finished their conversation until they acknowledged us.,But have to say that all other staff were lovely.Fransisco our waiter was excellent ,room was kept lovely and clean and bar staff were very pleasant. Room was lovely sea view, clean,, lovely bed ,large bathroom all clean BUT huge crack in bathroom sink,told reception who said Housekeeping hadn,t noticed anything,strange because it was about 8" long both ways.Toilet roll holder was hanging loosely on wall.Food was edible, not particularly inspiring but OK.Floor boards in room above us were horrendous ,creaked all the time ,don't think people above us slept very much seemed to be walking about all night which meant we didn,t get any sleep either.Asked to be moved but told hotel was full.Entertainment was,old school,not for us, but found pub on corner so went there.Think if you are looking for a little break with some good food and good cabaret then maybe this is not for you.If you are looking for cheap and cheerful then this is the hotel.

my mum and dad went on a 5 day break here when my father took ill - paramedics came and took him to eastbourne hospital. the following week my father was still in hospital - myself and my mother needed somewhere to stay as we lived 200 miles away so we chose the burlington as my mum knew this hotel and knew the surrounding area.
the burlington were excellent in supporting us - they understood our circumstances and gave us a very good deal with regards to the room, meals and price. they didnt have to do this but they did which is a very rare thing these days.
thankyou burlington hotel - you took alot of the stress away.

Just back from a 3-night stay at Shearing's hotel. Excellent position on seafront opposite the pier. Comfortable and welcoming with good food and friendly staff. Mainly elderly guests. Near shops, Buses to Brighton and Hastings stop close by. Recommended. Good value.

Been to the Burlington twice, both times for the Airshow, Although most of the guests are over 70, we found them all very pleasant, A big hotel but not lacking service, its clean, bright and spacious, the restaurant is well serviced, food is very good and service is better than average, plenty of choice, The basic rooms are basic but well kept, clean and have everything you could wish for, although not many have sea views, but we don't spend that long in there. Entertainment was provided each evening, the cabaret evenings were very good. overall a good hotel, good amenities, with a very good price, Would definitely return.

Fabulous to see Curtis Stigers here on Saturday night - hopefully he liked it enough to come back . Great view in a small, beautiful, smart theatre. A very friendly welcome in the lobby and delicious ice-cream .
