Arrived here Friday teatime on a national holidays trip, never been to Eastbourne before. Very quick check in, room on third floor, the smallest of the lifts was very claustrophobic. Room clean and modern but very cold, bed very comfortable, but had to sleep with my dressing gown on two nights due to the room being cold 😱😱 Breakfast was good, loved the porridge, the fried breakfast was a little greasy for my liking, had to queue for the toaster. Evening meal wasn’t as good in my opinion due to the choices you were given. The staff were lovely except for the women in charge of the dining room (dark hair in a pony tail) she was so ignorant and needs lessons in customer service. We chose to either go out on a night or one of the nights took our drinks to our room as wasn’t right keen on the in house entertainment. The hotel is in a prime position on the promenade close to the pier which was a bonus. Would visit Eastbourne again sometime in the future, would even consider staying at this hotel again

Hotel is handily placed for going to the town.,a walk along the pier or the seafront. Anyone who is fit can walk past Lifeboat shop and martello tower and get to Beachy Head.. In the opposite direction the Redoubt is close. Buses are close and Brighton is just over 1 hr away, Sovereign harbour is also close by bus.

Visited this hotel with Shearings 5 day deal many times. Always been highly satisfied. The one thing I cannot understand is the high drinks price at the bar. A captive audience are Sat there watching entertainment with no drinks in front of them. On the free drinks night there are long queues at the bar. This proves they would all have drinks if the prices were right. Come on Shearings smaller profits bigger turnover is the key to good business.

Recently returned from a 5 day break at the Burlington. No complaints about the hotel. Rooms comfortable and warm and excellently situated on the sea front near the Pier. Only a short walk to the town centre and transport. Staff were great and the food really nice, and hot !!. The only complaint was the Driver. He was arrogant, rude, unhelpful and seemed to have less local knowledge than we did. I'm not naming names but I'm sure that the other passengers will know who I'm talking about by my description. Shame. Spoiled an otherwise perfect break !!

This was a group booking via Shearings from Friday to Monday. This is our third visit as a group to the Burlington. We also visit independently at other times. The hotel is very hot especially in the entertainment area. Some of the rooms were very hot others were cold. Ours was just right. We thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment on Saturday evening. Mark was amazing as always. However we were very disappointed to discover that Bay hotels do not now provide entertainment on the Sunday evenings. We only discovered this on arrival and were not forewarned by Shearings. Also the hotel ran out of beer on the Sunday evening. Apparently they had not expected us to drink so much! The hotel did offer bottles of beer at a cheaper price. They suggested if we were to go again to let them know before our arrival and they will order more in. Some of our group have decided they would not go back there which is a shame but I think the majority of us enjoyed it and would return. But please Bay put entertainment back in Sunday’s

Did a 4 day weekend in February with Shearings ,Party of 8 which one had a birthday,we all had first floor sea view rooms very spacious clean and great view.Staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast was buffet and very good evening meals had a decent variable menu Hotel nice and warm perhaps too warm in the concert room.The downside was the entertainment on the Friday when we got there there was a impressionist the less said the better and a bingo caller who tried hard and finish up been the entertainment for the main Saturday night.There was no entertainment on the Sunday.To top all this 3 coaches in and by 1/2 way through Saturday night ran out of beer only larger left and Sunday only the dearest larger left and that ran out !!!.The weather was beautiful and all in all we had a great weekend but the entertainment and bar management were a lot to be desired otherwise would have given five star.

The hotel looks nice and has recently been refurbished yet the bedrooms only had 2 twin power points which were aeround the table at the bottom of the bed = no power points around the head of the bed which would have been useful.
The breakfast was chaotic with self service for 100 people, dinner wasn a bit better with waiter service but only 2 choices to pick from was not very good - ended up eating out half of the time there.
If you are considering here I would rewcommend looking elsewhere.

Just had a fantastic few days at the Burlington Hotel with Shearings. We have been on several breaks with Shearings but this was by far the best. Personally I think that the evening entertainment makes your holiday and Mark Snow certainly made sure we had the best time ever. He is a larger than life all round entertainer and the hotel would be nothing without him. He works really hard to make sure everyone has a great time, tonight we had a guest singer called Andrew Newey who was also excellent. The hotel was good too and so was our superior room, with a sea view. Our driver Kevin was fab too, very knowledgeable on the area and funny with it. Well done Shearings!

Just got back from Eastbourne, The Burlington Hotel. I must say the driver Dianne was informative but sounded a little abrupt at times, as usual the hotel was clean and tidy, the staff very friendly, We would like to thank everyone on reception for sorting out a lower floor for my sister.The food was good and hot at all times and tasty, the entertainment was good, not the first time at this hotel and wont be the last. Thank you to all who keep this hotel going.

Like most of the other visitors to the hotel we were on a Shearings break. so most of the customers are of a 'certain age.'. I had paid extra for a sea view room on the first floor and this was well worth it. The room was large and well appointed, with plenty of wardrobe space. The room had quite clearly been re decorated in the recent past. Everything was spotless. If I had a complain it was that the bathroom was extremely small, but it was very clean and everything worked which is really all you want in a bathroom. We were on second sitting for dinner, which gives you a 30 minute span to appear, NOT to eat your meal! As all true Brits, there was a queue at 7.15 pm when the sitting started? However they did get the message for the following night. Food was very good, especially the buffet breakfast. There was a choice on the evening menu and this was all good. The servers were however, just a little too eager to clear your table, so you learnt not to put your cutlery down! There was no road noise, but this might change during the Summer. The entertainment was average but was very well received. The 'four free drinks' promotion on a Wednesday was appreciated. Everything especially our driver James was very good.
