My neighbours gave me a £100 voucher for my birthday and asked me to come and join them at the Burlington at Eastbourne. I was not sure being early in the year but I was pleasantly surprised, I had also mentioned it to my friend Ann and she also came along. The hotel is just diagonal of the Eastbourne Pier although it was party burnt last year, work is in progress and one can go on to the pier. The deal was 4 nights half board, Every night dancing, 3 nights bingo and a quiz and every night some kind of good entertainment. Mark did the bingo, the quiz, sung, told jokes and danced with the ladys. The rooms are clean and I was lucky to be at the back and had a good sleep. The Dining Room Manager Moses works very hard and is very helpful and helps out where ever he is needed. He brought my friend John nearly 90 and registered blind to the table, Mariann our Hungarian Waitress was fast, friendly and a treasure, she is a great asset to the hotel and one is lucky if one gets on to her station. My friend Ann liked it so much she stayed on for the weekend, there are also some free excursion to Brighton and other places, there is also a local bus stop across the hotel which takes one in 40 minutes to Brighton, pensioners of course can go free. On the Gala night there is an extra course and dinners also include a coffee which can be collected from the café, there is free Wifi on the ground floor except the restaurant, on the day of the gala night there are 4 free drinks which van be used all day, alcoholic as well as soft drinks. On one evening a lady comes and sells jewellery mostly made by her, very beautiful and not expensive, I bought some and gave it as presents and as my friend was there for the weekend I asked her to get me some more as they are displayed there and can be purchased from reception.

Stayed at the Burlington hotel from the 27th of March to the 30th of March it was a shearings trip and we had a superior room number 116',on the first floor. The room was ok but floorboards were very noisy and no air all in there as you could not open a window. When I booked over the telephone I was told this was the only room available at a cost of £465 pounds witch I think was simply not worth that much money. I noticed in the dining hall there were many tables empty I wonder if there were cheaper rooms available but I can't obviously prove that. I feel let down and expected a better room for that price.,yours truly p white

Stayed in this hotel 27th March for my 67th birthday. We must say it was a lovely weekend, weather was awful but that's not the fault of the hotel. rooms were clean and tidy. food was very good and George our waiter was excellent as was all of the staff. The entertainment was excellent,
and the compere was one hell of a nice man, you could tell he enjoyed his job and did it to a high standard. We would recommend this hotel.

This hotel has a great location, right on the promenade. Parking is available for a small fee. The hotel is very clean and the rooms were spacious - more than enough space for two and includes a TV and tea and coffee making facilities. The bar was well stocked and entertainment appeared varied. I only ate breakfast here which was good - plenty of hot and cold choices. I heard that the evening meal was lovely.
However, what prompted me to write this review was the staff. I've never known such fantastic service in any business, let alone the hotel industry. My parents had been staying here the week before but, due to a medical emergency, my Dad had to extend his stay (hence the reason for my visit). The staff went above and beyond anything we could have expected to help my Dad and any family staying there. Nothing was too much trouble and I cannot thank the staff enough. In particular, Christine and Mary were superb. Thank you so, so much.

Having booked via Laterooms at £35 for B&B, the hotel is very easy to find (sat nav works) and the car park - which has CCTV - is situated in the road at the back of the hotel which runs parallel to Grand Parade. The rear entrance to the hotel is across the road from the car park and saves you taking your luggage all the way around to the front. I was greeted by a young lady (I believe her name was Claudia) who was really courteous and helpful and booked me in promptly.
My immediate impression of the hotel was that it was like stepping back in time, especially when taking the lift which still had an old 'metal trellis' door!. It was also quite clear that my friends' description of the hotel was pretty accurate inasmuch that it was likely to be full of 'newly weds and nearly deads'!.
HOWEVER, although some of the decor is very 'tired', you can see that the place has still retained some of its' old charm and I fully expected Max Miller to be the cabaret for the evening!. The room (234) was large, but a bit dark and dingy, with an old TV and rippled carpet, but most importantly, it was CLEAN. There was some kind of bullet hole in the sink which was cracked but, again, you can't help but forgive the old place. I have stayed in many 'modern' hotels where despite more modern fittings, at least everything in this room worked!.
Breakfast was laid out beautifully and a waiter showed me to my table. The service was excellent and exceptionally prompt. I only had 30 minutes before I needed to leave but my full English offering arrived in less than 10 minutes, and very good it was too.
The hotel is also perfectly situated for shopping and a good stroll along the pier or seafront, and I would definitely stay here again. For the price I paid, it was superb value for money.

Went with shearings coach holidays, hotel was clean and most importantly was nice and warm, unlike the royal in Whitby which was very cold, check in was quick, and first impression of the room, was that the bathroom was a bit tired, having said that there was always plenty hot water, the room was very clean and tidy, the heating was on so it was lovely and warm, food was quite nice on most nights with a choice of menu, breakfasts were a little hit and miss in the mornings as some mornings food was not cooked properly, some mornings it was fine , the entertainment was brilliant thanks to MARK, who worked very hard to ensure everyone had a good time, all in all a very enjoyable holiday, will certainly be back again
