An amazing weekend at the Grand - was there for our wedding anniversary that coincided with the Airbourne. Staff on the whole were amazing - the service was a bit intermittent at times, but it was a busy weekend for them so totally understand how difficult it is to get the resource right. We will definitely be back to stay again.

Beautiful and Elegant seafront hotel

The Grand is a very lovely hotel which has kept its feeling of grandeur from times gone by without being old fashioned or shabby. It has a quiet elegance with exceptional decor and service.

TERRY, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is an impressive grand old hotel with professional, friendly staff. We really enjoyed its position on the seafront and its two pools. However, parts of the hotel are very dated and staff were overwhelmed at breakfast, which meant service was slow and detracted from overall experience. The bed was too soft and pillows old and flat. The bathroom was a museum piece! For these reasons, we felt it was very overpriced.It needs alot of money spending on it to modernise it.

Classic hotel that truly lives up to the name!

Beautiful classic hotel that is grand in all aspects not just name. Aside from the opulent surroundings, the service was excellent - responsive and helpful staff. The breakfast (the only meal I had at the hotel) was absolutely outstanding. Super comfortable bed and room also - two nights of great sleep even though I don't normally sleep well away from home. Will be back with the whole family!

Grand Hotel , Eastbourne

The Grand is a fine hotel but I was concerned about the overall service provided. Our room, although very clean, had an unpleasant musty smell. We raised this with the hotel but it was not adequately dealt with. Our room was not cleaned on one occasion and towels not replaced on another. Service in the bar was slow. On the positive side staff were generally friendly and attentive and service at breakfast was very good.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel decoration was beautiful and very clean. The room was perfect and when we had an issue the staff were very efficient and moved us to a new room. The hotel was very quiet except for a bit of noise during one day when scaffolding was being erected outside the new room we were in, this was due to repairs taking place so couldn’t be helped. We had a superb breakfast each morning with lots of choice.
