Had a great weekend break, at the Burlington last weekend, travelled with shearings, a good journey down, followed by a quick check-in at reception.On arrival we were greeted with a glass of mulled wine, we sat and relaxed whilst the lifts were free.The hotel is very clean, and decorated lovely.As for the food, a very good varied choice,the only dissapointment was at breakfast, the porridge was very hot, but l ordered poached eggs, and unfortunately they were only just warm, after this , l had continental breakfast.The entertainment was good,Mark certainly makes this hotel what it is, with the entertainment. We certainly enjoyed the quiz . Varied dance music was played, and the entertainment on the Saturday was very good,with Mark doing the Sunday entertainment, which everyone seemed to enjoy.I will defininately go back to this hotel, and would recommend it.

Really good 5 day break with shearings.We have been on a lot of shearings breaks but found this to be one of the best of their hotels.All the staff were extremely friendly and could not do enough for you.The rooms were clean and well serviced.The food was good for this type break.
The only problem was the entertainment,if you didn't like bingo or a quiz then there was not much for you.Also the price of drinks was a bit excessive £3.60 for a pint of beer.
Overall a good trip.

Just returned from a tinsel and turkey weekend at the Burlington with Shearings. We stayed in room 136 which is a good sized room but in need of some tlc. The carpet was threadbare and the gloss paint scuffed and needed repainting. The outlook was awful overlooking the kitchens at the back. So why the best hotel in Eastbourne? Well the room was clean which is the main thing and as said before of a very good size. We only slept in there and washed so we could forgive it for it's misgivings. I believe the rooms are being refurbished so with a new carpet and lick of paint it'll soon hopefully be up to standared. The view from the widow - be fair - not all rooms can have seaviews....someone has to stay at the rear of the hotel and as it was a budget price we paid we couldn't argue with that. The rest of the hotel makes up for the shabby bedroom. It's just first class in ALL aspects. The decor is of an excellent standered and the food as good as you'll get anywhere else. The staff are all polite and helpfull and the entertainment very good. The location of the hotel can't be beaten - right on the promenade opposite the pier and just round the corner from all the shops and town centre. We had a fabulous three nights there and wouldn't dream of staying in any other hotel in Eastbourne. I'm just sorry I had to mention the shabby room but if this is to be a fair account of the hotel I can't say any other...and I'm sure it will soon be rectified so please don't let that put you off going. The Burlington is EXCELLENT value for money and we WILL return and recommend it to all our friends.

We went with shearing's and had an amazing holiday in your hotel. On arrival we were greeted with smiles from most of the staff and when entering our sea view room it had awful creaking floors, I rang reception and was given 3 keys to look at other rooms and chose 112. all floors a bit creaking due to age of hotel, which we understood, but thought room 118 was just too much creaking to spend 5 days in it.
No problem staff were great about it, we had asked for same table as our friends beforehand, but this didn't happen, but the head waiter soon sorted us out and we had an amazing stay on our turkey and tinsel week.
Clean rooms bit tired in bathroom area but the most amazing sea view we were made up. Thanks to everyone for great holiday.

Travelled with Shearings to The Burlington and paid extra for an upgraded room with a sea view on the second floor - well worth it, huge refurbished room, large flatscreen TV, ample storage, modern bathroom and powerful shower. The most comfortable hotel bed I have slept in for many years with crisp, clean linen.
Luggage was efficiently delivered/collected directly to our hotel room, so no lugging cases about. Much appreciated.
Service and food in the restaurant was excellent. Plenty of choice for both breakfast and evening meals and seating is assigned on arrival at reception.
The lifts are very small for the size of the hotel but we never had to wait too long.
Mark who runs the entertainment is a good all rounder and tried to provide something to suit all tastes/age groups. Bingo every night for those that want it with very good prize money while we were there. Bar prices about average for a hotel.
This is a lovely old building and most of the public rooms and restaurant are well furnished and decorated, although there are still areas that require attention. It's in an ideal position on the seafront, yet not too far from the shopping area. We are already planning a return journey in 2015.

We returned yesterday after a three night break with our son and daughter in law.
They had a standard room, which was fine...we booked an upgrade. All of us had a fabulous time....staff in all departments were excellent, helpful and friendly.
By booking an upgrade, we had space for the four of us to spend time together in comfort, and the view from our windows was stunning !
Hotel was clean, food good...entertainment was of a decent standard.
All in all, an excellent break. Thank you.

We paid £149 for the bus from Leicester, 3 nights in this hotel and a day trip to Brighton, we also got a ticket for 4 drinks included so was excellent value for money. This hotel is a lot nicer than a Britannia Hotel that we usually stay in for similar kind of money. It was very nice to have a seated dinner and breakfast and have tea served at the table. Made a pleasant change from barging against people at a buffet! The only thing I would change is have the toaster out in the restaurant. Bringing mixed to the table resulted in a lot of wastage, rather than you just choosing and toasting your own. I was quite surprised at charging extra for some what I consider basic breakfast items such as fried bread and black pudding but yet you can have a Kipper included in the price. That is my only criticism of the hotel and why I've not rated it excellent. I would work these things into the costs and charge extra for the Kippers.
The staff were very accommodating regarding my 15 month old baby. They let her have her dinner earlier (the restaurant didn't open until 6.30pm, but she goes to bed at 7.00pm.) And I was able to store milk in the fridge and get it any time I liked.
We had an older bedroom that hasn't been revamped but it was still a lovely spacious room. I haven't seen a large back TV for years, but I never switched it on. We were out all day and then played bingo or made use of the free wifi in the lounge in the evenings.
I would highly recommend this hotel. All the staff except on particular Barman were exceptional and provided great customer service. The General Manager should be proud of them all.

Just stayed 3 nights with National coaches, we got bed, breakfast and evening meal,transport a day trip to Brighton and 4 inclusives drinks a day for £149 pp so wasn't expecting too much, how wrong we were. Hotel was lovely and warm, bedroom was quite acceptable even though bathroom was small. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, when we arrived it was my 15 month old granddaughters dinner time and evening meal wasn't for another hour no problem though they provided home made chicken nuggets, chips and peas within 10 minutes when ask if she could have her dinner early. Inclusive drinks were all branded not house variety. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable break at a very reasonable price.

Spent new year at this hotel, hotel staff were fine, food was sometimes cold because of distance from kitchen. Ballroom was small so missed compere's jokes, just heard the laughter. Hotel was too big for me. Waited. 20mins to be served with included afternoon tea. Room was fine, a side sea view single. Hotel needs more directional signs
