Once a Great Hotel, Now Very Tired
Sadly, the Majestic Hotel in Eastbourne feels like a shadow of what must once have been a great hotel. The whole place is now looking very tired and in need of some serious investment and refurbishment.
The carpets were dirty and worn, and the bedroom was extremely basic. The television worked only sporadically, and the curtains didn’t even close properly. None of these things individually would ruin a stay, but together they give the impression of a hotel that has been allowed to deteriorate.
On a positive note, the staff were very helpful, friendly and welcoming throughout my stay, and I couldn’t fault them.
I was, however, quite shocked when checking in to be asked if I wanted to inspect the room before I paid. In hindsight, perhaps I should have taken them up on the offer!
In summary, this once-great hotel is now very much a case of you get what you pay for — and unfortunately, that isn’t very much.
