The location was wonderful, right on the sea front and close to shops, restaurants and the train station. I got a single room with a fantastic sea view; I thought that there might be a lot of noise from traffic at night, but it was very peaceful. The bed linen was immaculately clean, as was the rest of the room. The staff member at reception was very friendly and helpful. They have a bar that is open 24/7 (as is reception) and you can get some basic meals/snacks - I didn't take advantage of this, but it all looked pretty decent. Fantastic budget stay.

The shower wasn't that powerful, which is to be expected with these lovely old buildings, but there was plenty of hot water. Just for information rather than a complaint, the free toiletries are basic so you may want to bring your own if you are staying for more than a night.

I loved the huge room with sea views. Really nice view of the pier from my bedroom window. The bed was so comfy!!! I also loved the unexpected room upgrade Subham gave me. I was so pleasantly surprised at the quality of this hotel given its price. This hotel is most definitely punching above its weight! Very happy with the on street parking outside the hotel. Easy to find a spot, and a biker friendly location. Seemed pretty safe parking it on the seafront over night too. Happy that check out is until 11AM. Some hotels make you pay extra for that. Staff were all very warm, friendly and happy to help. Extending my stay an extra night was hassle free, and quick to do. I’ll definitely be staying here again in the future!

Not much. The keycard took a few attempts in the door at times, but no different than some other hotels in this regard.

I had a excellent stay at The Strand Hotel! From the moment I walked in, I could tell the place was incredibly clean and well-maintained. It has a modern vibe, with stylish décor and all the amenities you'd expect from a top-notch hotel. The staff were amazing, friendly and always ready to help. The hotel seems recently refurbished, so everything feels fresh and up-to-date. I also have to give a shoutout to the bar and lounge; it’s an excellent spot to unwind with a great atmosphere and delicious drinks. Overall, I had an excellent experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

I recently stayed at The Strand Hotel in Eastbourne and had a fantastic experience. The rooms were exceptionally clean and had been recently refurbished, making them both comfortable and modern. The hotel's lounge and bar area provided a relaxing space to unwind, with a cozy atmosphere and tasteful decor. What truly set our stay apart was the wonderful staff. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home and truly enhanced our experience. Overall, The Strand Hotel offers great value with its clean, updated rooms and excellent service. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Eastbourne!

I liked Subhan the front office manager He really went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable We had a few problems and when we moved our room he didn't make us feel guilty He really looked after us and as it was my other half 70 birthday treat He made it special for us The sea view room with a double bed was perfect and whilst we slept we could hear the sea which was really soothing Thank you for this treatment Subhan you are so human and efficient

The first room was far too small but it was okay for the price It was hard to understand how to get the subtitles off the TV it didn't seem to work

I didn't expect much going by other reviews but was pleasantly surprised by my stay here. The staff were welcoming and helpful. My room was clean, there was no smell of smoke at all, and there were new beds, carpets and paintwork. I gather this hotel is under new management in recent months, and the changes they are making seem very good. It's in a lovely position by the sea, with nice walks in either direction along the seafront. It was good value for money for it's position. I would recommend staying here.

The bathroom could do with being updated in time, but was fine.

1. Friendly Staffs 2. Concerns are immediately rectified by the reception team 3. Delicious Pizza can be ordered. 4. Exceptional room service and cleaning. 5. In front of the Sea. 6. Not very far from Pier and Adventure Island(Kids Attraction) 7. Early check-in and late check out options available . 8. Quite in night times, which is very helpful

Booking.com pictures and descriptions are not up to date. But , when I spoke to the reception , they immediately changed my room, which was very helpful.

Room was perfect and even better with an upgraded room with a beautiful sea view room for working for the nhs. Thankyou guys🫶🏻 Hotel staff was friendly, helpful and always willing to help with any questions if needed. The rooms was a nice size and comfy bed with tea cofffee and a kettle in the room what is great for someone who needs coffee in the morning! Right on the beach and just a 10 min to the pier and about 15min walk to town. Pizza 24/7 at the hotel and bar service to! Had a lovey stay and will be visiting again!

Upon arriving at the hotel we received a wonderful welcome by the reception staff. They were kind, caring and very professional. Our room was well decorated with what looked like new furniture. The room and bathroom were immaculately clean, fresh bedding & towels. The bed was so comfortable, we both slept like a log every night. For a budget hotel I was very impressed.

The exterior of the hotel lets down what the hotel looks like inside. Other than that I have no other dislikes.
