I have had many positive experiences from my stays at this hotel over the years, and after experiencing a few of the other hotels in Eastbourne I would definitely say that in my own opinion this is one of the best Eastbourne has to offer.
Sea view rooms, good menus and food quality, good staff attitudes, good cleaners / maids etc.
Recent redecoration adds to the rating.
There are some poor rooms in this hotel, like with all hotels, and you do get what you pay for (if you pay for a better room, you get a better room!).

Just returned home from a five day Shearings holiday in Eastbourne at the Burlington, Rooms nice, food fair, entertainment very good, but I could not understand why the hotel have contractors Painting the corridors while they have Guest's.
I would say that 95% of the Guest's were Senior citizens, The smell of paint fume's were abundant all day and night. You could not leave your window open because the painters where also working outside on the scafolding during the day,The hotel may need a face lift, But come on Shearings think of your Customers.

have just got back from the burlington have stayed here 4 times now,have always enjoyed it yes the rooms are pot luck but they will always do there best to offer you a new one,the reason that i may not go back anymore is the rudeness of our waiter bruno after waiting about 15min we asked him how long more we would have to wait to be told that he had been working since 7 that morning and if we wanted to report him to go ahead and do it witch we did,he was moved to other tables after that but it spoilt things for my wife and i as we felt uncomfortable after that, i have never been spoken to by hotel staff in all the years that i have been away.all other staff that we met were excellent

This hotel is currently undergoing a refurbishment and is looking good.if you travel by car arrive early as car parking is limited ,other drivers were double parked and boxing people in.
The restuarant is very nice our waiter was very quick ,very attentitive and very polite.
Our room was very basic and didnt have a basin in the bathroom it was situated in the bedroom.
Entertainment was good and fun ,quizzes music and of course bingo ,the bar staff were excellent and prices wasnt to bad.
I would recommend this hotel and will stay here again

Back to the Burlington for the 5th time this time with other relatives, they were very impressed by the friendliness of the staff and their efficiency. Mark was up to his usual high standard for entertainment. Restaurant and food gets high marks again grandchildren visited and enjoyed the mid-day snacks. The smaller lift is a bIt cramped and the stairs neeed a bit of care but that is nothing compared to the complete enjoyment of our breaks ALSO been to Carlton Gt Yarmouth & Royal at Weymouth ....No Complaints

Having stayed at this hotel with my 85 year old mother i was disappointed that although it is under going refurbishment it continued in the corridor outside our room throughout our stay. my mother developed a cough and still has it now, a week later. The food was average. The lift system was not adequate for the size of the hotel. The room had a lovely sea view but was let down by the radiator not working properly and the toilet which continually ran with water at times. The entertainment was positioned in such a way that not every one could have seats to view it. The staff were friendly and the Shearings coach tours were excellent.
The hotel may be better after the refurbishment but it has put me off returning.

I have over the last few years used Shearings coach trips with girl friends on a regular basis because they are a cheap break and we don't have to drive. Having just returned from a Turkey and Tinsel at the Burlington we all were of the opinion we would return again and had no real complaints about anything. We all agreed the tiny lifts were not big enough for a hotel of this size but decided it would do us more good to use the stairs anyway and finding ourselves puffing and out of breath on reaching the 3rd floor confirmed this for us! I would think the cost of altering the lifts might be prohibitive.
The public rooms were lovely, the colour scheme very nice and the Christmas decorations the best I have seen for a Shearings hotel. Our sea view rooms were large and airy as were our bathrooms. The only concern we had was that as there was no radiator or other heating in the bathroom we wondered how cold this room would be in colder weather, but it was certainly okay for us. The staff were lovely, in particular our waiter Daniel and the lovely Laura who circulated the dinning room for wine/drinks orders and who was so pleasant and friendly despite I'm sure dealing with some decidedly unpleasant and unfriendly customers. The food was fine, okay not fine dinning but very good value keeping in mind the cost of the holiday and again possibly the best food we have had in a Shearings hotel. There was a mixture of Shearings coach, self drive and those who had booked independently, including some families with children, not a common sight when booking with Shearings. We will definitely return to this hotel and would look forward to it, it's position more or less opposite the pier was excellent, it's appearance lovely and once inside we had a thoroughly good time.

we stayed here with shearings on there turkey and tinsel and i must say i was very pleased with the hotel, the position was near to the shops and it was right on the sea front.
we had very good meals the best i would say we have had on a shearings holiday. the staff were very friendliy and the xmas decorations were lovely.
the only criticism was the room we had was cold and the lifts were too small and not adiquate for the size of the hotel.
overall we had a jolly good time and mark the entertainment chap was fab

Again went on a Shearings Coach, i dont know why people bother driving.Seen one or two reviews that didnt do the place justice,i am pleased to say our group of 6 loved it.In the process of being redecorated we were on the second floor and i tlooks graet ,brilliant to see a beautiful building like this being used to its full capacity.Bedrooms warm,newly decorated along with the dining room and ballroom,xmas decorations made it look a treat.Food superb, staff excellent if anyone tells you otherwise then they must be on medication.Compere Mark does a great job keeping everything running smoothly the best we have seen in all Sheraings hotels.Would we book again try and stop us, roll on next year!

I have just returned from a holiday at this hotel travelling with National,,,there were 5 of us ranging from 14 to 90, including disabled and special needs.
I have nothing but praise for this hotel, it was superb,
Blaze serving us was very smiley and efficient, but not too pushy, Laura was on hand with the drinks served with a smile.Bar staff were very efficient and happy and nothing was a bother.
Evening entertainment with Mark was superb, he must of managed to cover everybodys requirements, His humour and friendliness was second to none, even though it was obvious he was ill.
The whole place was clean, newly painted and kept really well,rooms were cleaned and a pleasure to return to after a busy day,
I would only suggest one thing, to re locate the smokers, this is no fault of the hotel, but we found it difficult to get down the steps but smokers should be able to go somewhere.
I will certainly return to this hotel, superb in all areas.
