Mark as entertaining as ever so funny and a one off.So overall lovely holiday and still the best in our book.

Just spent 4 nights in room 443, its a huge twin bedded room with a huge bathroom. Basic, not luxury, it was very dusty but beds were made nicely each day. Its a quiet room. Food was varied, tasty and plentiful. Staff all very polite and helpful. Entertainment was ok but best was the organ player he was very funny. There are better hotels, they cost more, simple. You should enjoy yourself here.

My friend and I have just come back from a 3 night Shearings trip to the Burlington and we will definitely be returning there. For what we paid it was excellent value for money. The hotel is located directly opposite the seafront and a nice short walk to the City center. The room was spacious, clean and warm, the restaurant food was nice with good service. What really made it for us was the staff and the great evening entertainment with Marky Mark Snow who was not only an excellent all round entertainer.but a really lovely guy too.The bar staff particularly Matt, was briliant, they also kept us entertained throughout the night whilst doing a great job. Yes, the drinks cost a little more than they would in a pub but to be expected in a hotel, also we didn't mind too much as we'd been given 4 free drinks vouchers each to use on the Saturday night...which brings me to Saturday nights singer, Scott Free, despite the name he was fantastic! What a voice! We wasn't expecting him to be that good so we were very pleasantly surprised as we love all the swing/Ratpack music.This was my first Shearings trip and based on this one, I will be booking more in the future.

My husband and I stayed for 5 nights at the Burlington Hotel and although we were much later arriving than anticipated due to problems with trains, there was a hot meal available for us in the Dining Room which was much appreciated.
The Burlington Hotel is an impressive building "from the outside". The reception and lounge areas are very welcoming. Our room was 417 on the 4th floor and was adequately furnished with an excellent seaview. However, as with most of the hotel there is room for some redecoration. In the corridor the carpet was stained at the edges and repainting is required in most areas. This is a listed building and redecoration and refurbishment is an ongoing problem and we do accept this. The staff were all very friendly and the food although basic was well cooked and presented although the breakfast was a little disappointing.
Special thanks again to the Manager for enabling us to stay for an extra night when a booking error had occurred on our part although this was due to a misinterpretation of the booking arrangements we had made. We enjoyed our stay nevertheless.

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.
