Great staff

The hotel is in an excellent spot and the staff were brilliant. The web site is a little misleading as the emerald bar is not open and no food available in the evening Our ‘sea view’ room had limited view.

Good location. Room was very small and dark (112) with no air in. No air conditioning in the building. Breakfast basic but good value for money. Bed very comfortable. Shower needed more power. On the whole a clean good hotel with great location.

Clean and tidy hotel. Nice staff

Single room was small, but i knew that when i booked. The bed was ok, the room was clean and the bathroom was clean. Allin all a nice hotel. The breakfast was not value for money. The sausages were cheap , the bacon was not cooked well it was generally lacklustre. We found a cafe for the 2nd and 3rd morning that we stayed I would however book with this hotel again I booked 3 single rooms for myself an 2 colleagues. We all agreed that we would book again tho.

No wardrobe, lumpy mattress, toilet took for ever to flush, to expensive for this standard
Joe, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This place is outdated, they have modern furniture but unfortunately the rest is outdated. The bathtub mat was moldy and the sheets had stains. Our room was in the back so it had no view. There’s no air conditioner so we slept with the window open, it was hard to get a good sleep because the seagulls were loud. On a good note, it is located across the street from the pier so the location is good.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property was in a great location and was nicely decorated, room was very small and could do with a detailed clean, bigger sink in bathroom and a shelf is needed to put toiletries on, smaller desk in room would make room more bearable. Room very noisy between the clock chiming from the Pier and the tuneless bands they have playing in the bar downstairs until gone 11pm, you couldn’t hear the tv over the loudness of the bands. Parking was a bit of a challenge, but £2 for 24 hours through hotel, be prepared to drag your suitcase and belongings up the street. Breakfast was lovely but the toaster needs to be replaced, toast gets stuck at the back and you have to reach right underneath to get it. I didn’t eat at the Emerald Bar, when I asked the staff they screwed their faces up so I swerved it. My bill got messed up several times.

GOOD ROOM AT A GOOD PRICE

Room was perfectly acceptable (room 210) - ensuite was clean, nice mirror in main room, comfy bed with a good supply of teas/coffees. Good location opposite Eastbourne Pier. Only negative is a nasty stain on the wall 0n the right hand side of the bed - looks like someone has puked against the wall.

We hebben een nette kamer en badkamer gekregen voor een redelijke prijs. We kregen een grotere kamer dan gereserveerd
Johan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately, this felt more like a house of multiple occupancy than a hotel. After booking i received an email to say no parking permits available and that the bar/restaurant were closed. I sent an email asking what we were supposed to do for parking and a question about their reception hours as another guests review stated these were limited. I didn't get a response. We were given a room that looked like someone was still in occupancy so after a complaint we were given another room. the manager told me that they had just bought the hotel but that felt a bit weak. We will not be staying at this hotel again.
Carl, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very dated hotel, apparently under new management. No parking, had to pay £30 in the hotel across the road or pay £9 perday NCP a good walk away. Only saw 1 person all the time i was there. This person had zero personality! No food available at all due to no staff for the kitchen

Single sea-view room

I stayed in a single sea-view room. The room was nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable. Good Wi-Fi. Lovely view of the pier and beach. The shower was hot and powerful. Unfortunately, the room and en-suite were not very clean, it was very dusty and there were bits on the carpet. The mug/spoon was still dirty from previous guest. The en-suite really needed a deep clean and the toilet had been left dirty in the bowl although it had a paper slip on the toilet seat to say it had been cleaned. Parked in the local NCP for £7.95 per 24 hours which was only a 5-min walk to the hotel and straightforward (is cheaper if you download the app before you park). I had received an email from the hotel before my stay with the parking permit instructions (subject to availability) however they do not have permits at all at the moment as they have not been granted by the council yet. Found it a little confusing - the email was not needed as it wouldn't have been an option to have a permit and I wasted half an hour trying to find a space in the permit zone to then be told they did not have any to give out anyway! No restaurant for breakfast but there was a Wetherspoons a short walk away so was not an issue. Understand it has recently been taken over so may explain these few issues.

Average Services

My experience of my stay at Pier Hotel would be average. I paid £50 per night for three nights. Hotel rooms were average, quite congested to walk. Firstly, I was annoyed of the services provided. I understand the management was new and they purchased the hotel few days ago, the wifi router in my room wasn’t working. Things were not checked before the arrival of the guest. They did offer me another room on my Day 2 which I denied, because one day stay left only. Secondly, no room service at all. We left rooms in a good condition, and we expected the basic services to be done when we arrive back to the room. Basic like; emptying the bin, replacing the laundry, providing the with toiletries because they get used every day. We always had to ask for the services, which is quite unusual for the hotels. Overall, average stay at the hotel. The best things about the hotel is, it is right in front of the Pier and Seafront. This is the only attractive and positive things about Pier Hotel.
