2/10 Poor

Unbelievable, you get what you pay for.
Turned up and was greeted by a very excitable gentleman behind the reception, who informed us of the rules of the stay. Basically not to leave any valuables in your room and front door is locked at 11pm. On entering the lift, we came across our first major concern, the buttons for the ground floor and 1st floor were missing and you had to push your finger into the mechanism to get the lift to operate. Then on entering the rooms. They are very basic, really needs updating. No mirror in the bathroom, no hot water. In the evening or in the morning. Breakfast was a shock too, hadn't read the detail when booking no hot breakfast, I know it's a budget hotel but this is a very low budget hotel. This was booked in error and will definitely not be back to use these facilities again

Upgrade required.
The accommodation was in dire need of upgrading. There were areas of the twin room requiring attention - there was a draught from the window, the curtains did not fully cover the window meaning that the bed at the window had a streetlight shining in all night, there was no wardrobe, only one chair, the bathroom door opened facing onto the beds which meant that the light shone directly onto both beds which I found very unusual and the bottom of the door required attention. However the saving point was that the room was perfectly clean and on leaving I thanked the cleaning staff. The Reception Staff were friendly and helpful.

overpriced
dated in terms of decor, fixtures and fittings, furniture, both inside and outside the room. Dated also applies to what is deemed a reasonable requirement for today's traveller .....Iron, suitcase rack, a pair of bathroom glassware, coffee (beyond the 2 sachets supplied) ....air con?

Massive disappointment. This hotel is a mess. Took 2 rooms for 2 nights. The rooms had no heating with radiators stone cold. Reported to reception and managers multiple times. Went home early because room too cold to spend second night there. Nothing done, despite multiple complaints. Bathroom had no plug and no mirror. Water pressure very weak. Morning of second day elevator broke down multiple times. It was very old and noisy and had we not been on the top floor we would have used the stairs If this is the standard of "Best Western" things have dramatically declined. Admittedly it was a cheap hotel but you do expect basic amenities like heating !!

Citrus hotel
The foyer was very welcoming the staff who booked us in was fantastic..the room itself was a little bit tired the bathroom a little snug but had everything that was needed.... housekeeping came every day which was unexpected ( so efficient that they threw away new underwear 😂)and the added bonus for us was dog friendly We like our food so in future it would be nice to see this particular hotel do a full English as the breakfast room was fantastic with absolutely gorgeous chandeliers

Not the cleanest
Property isnt the cleanest of properties. Room was large, bathroom requires a major scrub feaces around the toilet pan from previous people, shower was grubby, towels seen better days. Pillows were hard & bed not the comfiest. Sea view frm the room was the best thing. Glad it was only a quick stay over. There is alot of potential in this place & with a quick decent clean & a freshing up it would be good.

Terrible stay - would not recommend
Hotel is very tired and in desperate need of a make over. Room was cold and noisy. reception tried to make it work and then left without addressing it. Pillows are horrible- unless if you like firm or extra firm pillows. The room, bathroom and overall decor just looks dated. Don’t trust the photos,

Lovely staff and bed was comfy. Excellent position by the sea and near lovely Little Italy area. Downsides: sheets needed a higher temp wash or to be replaced (stains) and bathroom bin was full from the last guests. Lift broke too, but stairs were fine for us. For the price, we had a comfortable stay.

First of all the important things- the staff went over and above at every turn and I would say faultless, the location couldn’t be better, you are literally on the sea front in the most beautiful part of Eastbourne, and the beds were very comfortable and bedding was spotless. However if you are looking for a beautifully decorated and lovely hotel, the Citrus is not for you. The rooms are nothing like they are on the website. I have never stayed in a backpackers hostel but if I did, I imagine it would look like this. Our room had cracked walls and peeling paint everywhere, the lift was like a death trap and even the staff said don’t use it. Breakfast was ok for a continental. Having said all that, for what I paid and for the superb location, I probably would stay here again but I would ask for one of the rooms which has been redecorated since it was housing those who shall remain nameless.

For the price that we paid for two nights - really can’t complain! Spacious room, 2 big mirrors. Decent size bed. Plenty of storage space. Friendly staff. Drinks and snacks available for purchase at reception. Great size TV in the room. Mirror in the bathroom would be nice! Didn’t need to use the hairdryer but tested it and sounded really powerful. Could do with a couple of sockets next to the bed. We asked for a quieter room, were given a room on the 3rd floor and I’d say it was quiet. narrow lifts so don’t think it’d be too comfortable with the luggage but plenty of space for two people. Would stay here again if we were going back to the area. Great value for money.
