Another great break here with Shearings. We were greeted by Chris with a lovely smile. The wonderful Mary helped moved the dining tables around so my husband could have his usual spot. The food was great and so too our room overlooking the sea. My only criticism is the bath towels - please can we have bigger ones for the more cuddlier of us??

I cannot understand the good reviews. The hotel is in a good location and is very big. We booked last minute so were not surprised to have a room at the back of the hotel with no view - no problem. However the room was like a sauna (in the middle of January) we decided it must be the radiator was on full so turned it down to off and opened the window (yes it was that hot) decided it would be cool enough by the time we got back from our evening so we could sleep. When we got back it was still like a sauna even with the radiator off, needless to say we did not have a good night's sleep. The next issue was breakfast was only served between 8 and 9 am (on a Sunday!), after no sleep went to breakfast - we had been told the day before when we checked in that we would be shown to our table in the morning. We walked in and no one came to us so I asked one the staff if we could sit anywhere upon which another member of staff started fussing say 'bed and breakfast guests follow me' and we were led to the far end of the restaurant - why I could not tell you - it was a bit Fawlty Towers. My husband had the full breakfast, I had scrambled eggs on toast - but actually it was more like milk blancmange on barely toasted bread which went soggy immediately probably due to the amount of milk in the 'scrambled egg' - I am the least fussy person when it comes to scrambled egg - I have happily eaten scrambled egg my husband would have sent back as overcooked. But surely to be called scrambled egg it should have egg in it! I am sure you will be able to find a better hotel than this. Advertised as having wi-fi - but only in public areas which did not look that welcoming to sit in.

Room was fine, food and service were good, reception staff could not do enough for guests. Public areas have not been very well thought out, dining room would make a better entertainment area. There are very few seats that you can see the entertainment from - too many pillars and walls, only other seating room where you can get wifi is in the coffee lounge - these are not seats made for relaxing in except for 3 two seater setters which we were never quick enough to get as they were taken every night by the same 6 people, all other lounge seats are not for conversation in the evening because conversation is drowned by the entertainment. Hotel is in an ideal position, facing the gardens and promenade and there is a sun lounge the length of the hotel, not very warm in January, but will be lovely later in the year. Would we go again - yes!

The Burlington Hotel is one of Shearings better hotels Food good and service very good the waiter Franchesca was very good always smiling and helpful our Room was a reasonable size tv was modern but on the small size as room had been recently refurbished the only down side was the Bath/Shower as after 4pm there was no hot water either from the Bath or Hand Basin we was offered another room on the last day to shower in warmer water apart from this we had a good midweek break the Coach driver James was great so informative

The staff from the manager (Chris) down are hard working and efficient, rooms clean and tidy, restaurant efficient and large (can hold 280 guests). Very close to town centre, turn right and right again and your there....
The only let-down was the entertainment area which is badly laid out, the bar prices are rather on the expensive side but the entertainment is very good, especially on the Thursday when an all round entertainer deserves a special mention, Ray Campbell (two hours plus, non stop).
Buses to Brighton frequent and nearby, though Eastbourne deserves a visit.

Just returned from a five day break with Shearings. The hotel has an efficient and friendly staff run by the very approachable Sue. The meals were very good and the introduction of a self service high quality breakfast went down very well. the evening entertainment was overseen by the resident host Mark and his way of calling the bingo and conducting the quiz is unique and a great laugh. he was not there on the thursday night to our disappointment but was replaced by Ray Campbell a very accomplished all round entertainer who had everybody crying with laughter. We paid a little extra for aroom with a sea view The room was very spacious with large bathroom that contained bath and shower. It was always clean with great maid service.Thankyou Burlington,hope to see you again soon.

Great location, by the pier, with a lovely terrace bar area, so, even if it's raining, you can at least people-watch... The reception and bar staff are just wonderful (as are most of the restaurant staff). I could take them all home...! Mark Snow (Marky Mark), the resident entertainments host, is such good fun and really cares about giving people a good time - it just wouldn't be the same without him - as could be said for so many of the people who make the Burlington a good place to stay. If you have disabilities, the Burlington is a better choice than the Majestic, as it's nearer to the shops, etc. We go there, on average, once a month, which speaks for itself.

Booked a midweek break at the Burlinton hotel on the main sea front just past the pier.
Room was a fair size a bit dated with an old fashion tv with 6 channels.
Plus only Wi-Fi in lobby area.
Otherwise a great value place to stay, helpful staff, food very good with plenty of choice and good presentation.
Now serving a buffet style breakfast.
Hotel is in great location .
Would def stay again .

Stopped overnight after reading the hotel description parking was find but was unaware that before six in the evening you pay. Was also led to believe that wifi was available throughout the hotel, wrong only available in the main areas of the bar and reception area. Rooms were clean and tidy with a good shower. Not double glazing so there was a lot of noise from outside. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall it was ok for the night but for business not so good without the wifi in the rooms. Great for a beach visit with the other half and kids
