    It is a lottery regarding whether you get a decent quality matress. The furnishings carpets curtains and balconies need updating and bringing up to the same standard as the very impressive architecture of the hotel.

    All members of staff were very polite always professional and very helpful. The hotel is an excellent see front location close to restaurants pubs and a short walk to Eastbourne pier.The breakfast was to a good quality standard.

    Absolutely nothing.

    We were given a warm welcome on arrival. Our room was spacious, immaculate and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was included and was superb in very way! We decided to stay an extra night as it was so good. We had lunch in the bar area which has windows and a balcony overlooking the seafront. Delicious food in such a lovely modern setting.

    No complimentary water in room. Had to go and buy a large bottle of water from a local shop for my husband to take his pills, as didn't want to drink water from tap in bathroom or use to make tea. Some areas of the hotel were a little cold, particularly the bar area where we had an evening meal.

    Loved the view of the sea. Room was a good size, shower water lovely and hot. Towels were of good quality. Breakfast was excellent.

    Bed a bit soft for me but otherwise all good. Drinks overpriced like a lot of places these days.

    Third stay at The View. Hotel is well situated. Very good breakfast and a main meal. Staff are pleasant and friendly. Room was basic but had everything I needed for two nights.

    From the moment I entered the hotel, the member of staff on reception ensured I receive a friendly and efficient welcome. I use this hotel frequently, and the staff and facilities are superb. The room has an excellent sea view. Yes, breakfast was also high quality, presented in a modern environment, with excellent staff interaction.

    Great spot, I had an uber take me straight to the entry point of the cliffs of seven sisters and hiked/walked back to The View and it was a good few hours venture, absolutely beautiful. Uber was 7 minutes from here to Birling Gap car park and cliffs straight ahead. Front Desk so welcoming. Great restaurants like Soup n Tap and Little Italy, delicious. Pier within walking distance. Room was great, clean, big, bed was a dream to sleep on. Highly recommend!

    The bed wasn't for me as it was soft but my friends were happy with them.the only other thing was that the heating seemed locked off and it was quite cold ,we did ask for extra quilts and were brought the biggest quilt I'd slept under also an electric heater almost immediately.

    Stayed before, great hotel with views.breakfast very filling with as much as you want. Good choice of hot and cold options. The staff are very helpful.hotel clean as were the rooms.
