Shore View Hotel

Friendly helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble.. they are very accommodating. Comfortable beds and rooms with a sea view. Fourth stay at this hotel. Hotel will store luggage before check in if you arrive early and after checking out so you can collect before you are ready to leave.

It would be nice to be offered tea or coffee at the breakfast table once you are seated instead of having to ask for it at the breakfast bar and to be asked if you would like any toast when getting your cooked breakfast or allow self service again to help yourself.

Stay was Short but we enjoyed staying at this hotel . Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast duration time quite long 7 to 10AM. Breakfast had lot of items including Fruit, Drinks, Egg, toast Beans and Butter and Jams

Should have staff to take luggage of geusts to their rooms. Should provide decaf Coffe & Tea. Should have two chairs rather then one. Should provide small towels as well.

. One of the rare times when upon leaving a budget hotel I wasn't left thinking "well, you get what you pay for". The welcome from the staff was utterly fantastic and incredibly professional without being stuffy. Staff were on hand 24 hours a day to help with any issues... extra toilet rolls, soap, coffee and milk for the room. For the price, breakfast was exceptional, limitless quantities of bacon, sausage, eggs etc and a reasonable continental selection. Whilst at this point many hotels are using "staff shortages" as an excuse for poor service, the Shoreview team as a whole were a shining example of making something work even against the toughest of pressures. They are clearer running on a skeleton staff, however, everybody was mucking in and with regular uniform changes the small team seemed to get it all done and all done well. Seeing team members in chefs jackets for breakfast, then in housecleaning pinnies through late morning and then in reception shirts and ties when needed. Utterly amazing. These people deserve their jobs, and are hopefully being compensated well for it. In Summary... amazing Location fantastic, sea view very calming and only having to cross the road to be on the beach.

No complaints

This stay exceeded our expectations. We booked a room for one night rather last-minute to attend a gig, not expecting to be wowed due to the great value. Our room was large and clean, with a fab sea view. I was worried about the noise due to the room being on the first floor next to a busy road, but nothing disturbed us during the night. The bed was also huge and comfortable! A delicious cooked breakfast served until 11am was included, and the staff were friendly. The hotel is obviously right next to the beach, close to the pier and about a 15-20 minute walk to the centre, the train station and some interesting shops. We had dinner at Rustico Neapolitan, which was very good. I would highly recommend Shore View - thanks for a great stay!

The exterior of the hotel is a bit tired and could maybe use some re-vamping.

The breakfast staff were very attentive and food was great. Room was nice size.

Bed was on wheels and moved every time you sat on it. Needs to have wheels removed or attached to wall. No shampoo provided and towels and duvet very thin. Front desk staff need to be friendlier. Although we had a great view it was spoilt by the fact that the windows had not had a good clean for months perhaps longer.

I had a sea-view room. Full English breakfast was served as well as gluten-free toast. The location of the hotel, on Marine Parade was ideal for beach viewing, near the main Pier and various cosmopolitan shops nearby and a short to comfortable walk to the city centre shops, restaurants, pubs and the Eastbourne railway station. The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly.

An on-site bar was not available as standard. It would’ve been nice to have an evening tea or drink at the hotel. One could have tea in the room, but sometimes a more comfortable setting is preferred. They do open the breakfast and bar area for special occasions or when it is hired out by groups, so not all that bad.

From some of the reviews I read I wasn't expecting much but actually the room was clean & serviced daily, the staff were friendly, the view from our room was great & we were in a perfect spot.....

the only thing that does let it down is the breakfast.... bacon needs to be crispy not like knicker elastic & the hash browns need to be fried not cooked in the oven cos they were very dry.... you should be able to do your own toast & your tea or coffee should be brought to the table with a pot of milk not with the milk already in cos all of us like a whole cow in our tea.

The room was a surprise and I wish I'd got to the room much sooner in the day than I got there to make the most of the room! I loved the shape and large size of the room, all the little nooks and windows with views, the bed was comfortable and it was a comfortable relaxing and peaceful space to be in with no noise from other guests due to the location of the room. Of course the location was great for watching people and looking out to sea as well as stepping out and being directly opposite the beach. I'd definately choose to stay here again! The breakfast was included. I had cooked items for breakfast which I chose from a buffet breakfast and it was decent but the temperature of the food not hot! Staff I came into contact with were polite and smiled.

Breakfast not hot enough. A rather concerning sight to see a young man standing at the entrance to the breakfast room who had his eyes closed initially, no facial expression and rather like a guard guarding a castle. I did feel concerned about this young man and as I saw another older male breakfast service member of staff talk to him he showed no response on his face. Something wasn't okay!

Opposite beach. Check in and out times good. Breakfast good. Hotel Ideal for a short stay. Price.

Shame that seaview not best from room because of the windows. I don't think it is possible to clean them up.

Friendly and kind staff, late check-in, location and front view of sea, good breakfast.
