A group of us go to The Burlington every year in February and have done for 5 years now and have enjoyed it every time.
Accommodation... upgraded to a sea view,which was nice. Unfortunately the large sash windows were draughty and the radiator struggled to warm the room however we stopped the draughts with paper and the room warmed up. The room which was on the fourth floor was clean and tidy and a good size with sufficient wardrobe and drawer space for a weekend away. The bed was firm but comfortable. The bathroom was a good size and looked to have been fairly recently refurbished.
Restaurant...Breakfast is now buffet style,waiting staff efficient, attentive,polite and friendly. We found the food in general to be perfectly acceptable.
Entertainment....Friday night we had comedian/impressionist whom we have seen before but still found hilarious (His Mick Jagger and Ozzy Osbourne you won't stop laughing!) Saturday night a very good vocalist. Sunday night and also keeping the weekend entertainment together was Mark Snow who keeps everyone entertained.
None of the party of 10 I was with had any complaints and again enjoyed their weekend at The Burlington.
Other good points regarding the hotels location....it is opposite the pier about 5 mins walk into town, also bus stops in both directions (Brighton about one and a quarter hours and Hastings about an hour in the other direction) are minutes walk from the hotel....remember your bus pass!

Just returned from a weekend break here and it was excellent we had a nice room on the 3rd floor right by the lifts and we can honestly say we did not hear the lifts, very comfortable for a good nights sleep, the food here is very good something for even the fussiest of eaters a good selection for breakfast and dinner. The hotel is right in front of the Victorian Pier which while we were there, a cold easterly wind was blowing but still able to walk on it a lovely view along Eastbourne seafront.
We went to Hastings where we had a look around some museums and had lunch in a lovely old pub we also went to Alfriston where the National Trust has its very first property then on to Battle and Beachy Head all very interesting
The entertainment here is excellent on Friday evening Andrew Fleming entertained us he is a comedy impressionist very funny, Mark Snow (hence the title of our review) is a very good all round entertainer, calling the Bingo, he has his own way doing this, then going on to do the Quiz to a D J at the end of the evening, He has one evening all on his own Sunday when he calls Bingo, then the Quiz, and Comedy and Singing to DJ all in all a very good evenings entertainment, very well done Mark
On Saturday evening we had in our opinion the rudest entertainer we have ever seen he arrived with his equipment and dumped it on the dance floor and set up, this we might add took up best part of a quarter of the floor and then started to sing, but he made NO ATTEMPT to engage with the whole hall he just faced one way the whole time and from where we were sitting all we saw was HIS BALD HEAD never once his face, we feel he should be spoken to about his attitude towards his audience, we have never experienced anything like this before (see photos)
Overall the weekend was very good thanks to everyone at the hotel / coach drivers and a special thanks to Mark
Looking forward to our next visit to the Burlington

Hotel was lovely and the staff were very helpful. Nothing was too much for them and they answered your queries immediately and bent over backwards to make sure your break was enjoyable. The entertainment was the best I have ever been to in the UK and the guest appearances were magnificent. Debbie Lee Johns was brilliant and deserves a medal for her performance and wit. Will definitely go there again.

This is the second time I have been here and again it is a good standard hotel with good food and very helpful staff, and there is entertainment on every night The room was large and comfy. The only criticism I have is there are small parts that could do with up dating a bit.

I had a very nice, clean newly decorated room, a lovely bathroom the only complaint the towel radiator did not work. a kettle ample coffee tea sugar and milk. everything was spotless clean. The bed had a good mattress and the radiator warmed the room nicely.
I had 4 nights stay, 4 self service breakfasts a very good selection of cooked foods, 4 different cereals, grapefruit, prunes, raisins. orange juice, cranberry juice, marmalade, jams, squeeze honey as much coffee or tea as one wants. an excellent supper 3 courses plus coffee and a roll, a good selection of food a lot of vegetables with your meal 2 vegetables and 2 different potatoes. On Wednesdays 4 free drinks of your choice, a quiz nightly as well as bingo, entertainers and dancing. The staff are helpful and I can only highly recommend it, not too much I hope as I want to go again this year plus a couple of times every year and I want to be able to book. It is within .200 yards from the Pier and overlooking the sea, serves very reasonable lunches and has a Lady selling Jewellery one day a week. Her prices are very reasonable and she makes quite a lot herself. You can book it self drive or go there by coach and it has some excursions if you use the latter. There is a bus service to Brighton across the road.2 department stores within 5 minutes walk

We stayed here for our 40th wedding anniversary, when staff found out they upgraded us to a beautiful room overlooking the sea even though we just walked in and asked for a room, The staff at all times were amazing, so friendly and always helpful to everyone they came across, the breakfast was lovely, well presented and cooked, The hotel is a very high standard hotel, clean and beautifully presented. We can only say a big thankyou for our very happy stay with you.

For what we paid we had a good value break. Room (standard) was basic but clean & warm. Food was very good with a reasonable choice. We had 4 drinks vouchers each for Saturday night. Entertainment was good on Friday even though we only had half the act because he was also booked at the sister hotel as well. Pity because we enjoyed it. Saturday was not to our taste and Sunday was very amateurish so we left early. The reason that the hotel only got 3 was because of the room cleaner bursting in on us at 8.10 on both Sunday & Monday morning & wakening us & 7.15 on Monday by hoovering and shouting in the corridor outside our room. This cost her a tip and the hotel an Easter booking we had been thinking about.
