Unbearably hot, everywhere but mainly in our bedroom. There were hot pipes in the wall in our room that produced an unrelenting heat. All other sources of heat were turned off and the windows opened as far as they would go but it was hotter than in last summer's heatwave, the only difference being that then we had summer clothes but now, being December, we only had warm winter clothing with us. We had a fan eventually but that only seemed to circulate the hot air. The heat in the dining room was such that people were fanning themselves with the menus. The food was generally homely but good enough, although the tables were much too close together to have a private conversation. Other than that the hotel was comfortable, the Christmas decorations pretty and the position, on the sea front, near the pier and a short walk from the centre, was very good.

Very basic hotel, but very basic price. Pleasant location on Eastbourne seafront and very close to shops, restaurants, theatres etc. This is very much a budget hotel but, unless you expect Savoy standards at cut prices, is quite adequate.
The hotel looked tired but everything seemed to function, the quality of breakfast was excellent and the evening meal suited us very well.
We had three nights bed, breakfast and evening meal for £138 - I think that is good value - and will be back.

Fabulous - long weekend break Friday to Monday in October 2018. Chose to upgrade to a superior room as we wanted a sea view. Hotel staff couldn't do enough for us, everyone from reception, dining room, bar staff. The entertainment was brilliant, and to top it all the weather was fabulous. Perfect location for public transport, and directly across the road from Eastbourne Pier. Only downside was the usual handful of moaners and I don't think they'd be happy if they stayed in a 5* hotel for free.

Never been to Eastbourne before. Arrived at this seafront hotel opposite the Pier and wow what a grand old building. Only a short stroll from the Pier and promenade and a few minutes walk into town. Used by lots of coach companies so a lot of middle to old age clientele.
The rooms have been refurbished and good beds and bathrooms have made the trip very comfortable. The food was of a good quality and always felt full . Bar staff were great and always friendly which is the norm amongst all the hotel's staff. Entertainment was great with bingo,quiz and dancing on most nights . Mark the compere is a legend....so much fun he is always smiling and getting everyone to join in. Visiting cabaret too is well worth watching. Will definitely be back in the future.

Another fine stay thanks to all the very pleasant and helpful staff. Our excellent refurbished 'Standard' room has various extra facilities now, such as usb points by the bedside units. Superb shower room, hardly looked as if it had been used. Picked up the free fast wifi up on the 2nd floor too now, not just downstairs. Every time we go, some further improvements have taken place. New timings for dining sittings worked extremely smoothly. All meals were enjoyed. Entertainment is yes, entertaining, especially from Mark the Spark! Thanks due to one and all.

Good sized warm room with the usual furnishings, though the wardrobe was tiny and there are no wall hooks on which to hang outdoor clothing. Well located ( easy walking distance to shops ) with view of the sea and pier but be aware there is no double glazing so there is some road noise.
We found the restaurant to be a cheerless place with the tables in long institutionalised lines. The starters and dessert choices were good but the mains very samey with breadcrumb coated meat and fish.
Happy with the other public rooms and staff friendly and helpful.

The Burlington is a typical grand seaside hotel with lots of Victorian features and an on going refurbishment.
Our standard twin room on the third floor had been partly refurbished with new double glazed windows and a new bathroom, the room was large but was cold due to the radiator being under the bay window which did not allow the heat into the room, although on hindsight I now wish I had asked for a portable heater to be put in our room, this did not seem to be a problem for most of the people we spoke too who said their rooms were too hot so I suppose it’s the luck of the draw, but the beds were comfortable and the housekeeping was good.
As with other Shearings hotels we have been too the food was very good always a good choice and hot, and the 6-15 & 7-15 sittings that they operate worked very well with service being very good and served by very efficient staff.
Entertainment was very good with the usual bingo and quiz made hilarious by Mark who pulled in a large crowd every night, I’m still laughing now at his bingo calling.
It was our first time to Eastbourne but if we return we would certainly stay at the Burlington again although if it was in winter would be sure to ask for a warm room.
