    The Booking.com description said 'Breakfast is served', but the booking confirmation ALSO said 'No Breakfast served in property at the moment' (c.12/Oct/24), which caught me out, and should be checked. Not a problem for me, since there are some nice cafes in town.

    Good location close to rail station and town centre. Clean & comfortable room with a wash basin. Friendly and helpful welcome. I appreciated being able to leave my luggage after checkout.

    Accommodation ok but found Hastings itself a pretty uninviting town- very run down and didn’t feel that safe!! Will not

    Would prefer not to share a bathroom but given that was all that was available it was ok

    It was adequate for our needs for the night - clean and comfortable

    All good!

    Room and bathroom clean and well equipped, with everything I needed. Great value for money, especially compared with bigger hotels nearby. My room was a little small but I had deliberately chosen a small, cheaper single room. Host was welcoming, friendly and helpful

    I wish the bathroom was connected to my room so that I didn’t have to pass the other room to get there. However, it was fine the bathroom was beautiful and clean.

    The host was a very nice lady and informative especially with parking. Such a nice place to stay! I would definitely return if I’m in the area! Fantastic location 🤩 The bathroom was well equipped and I loved the shower gel which was provided 👌

    The welcoming was really poor. I was asked questions about my address and also to demonstrate my bank card. I thought it was also for confirmation of my identity but they take card details to charge you in case of damages. First time I've experienced that and didn't feel ok with someone putting all that info in their tablet. Also the whole procedure took place in a narrow corridor just at the entrance, we felt like intruders. Despite the room being nice there was a terrible smell of a wet dirty sock outside of the room so we could smell it all night.

    The beds were comfortable, the room was spacious,and the bathroom was clean. The guesthouse is in a good location.

    In the morning people put trash out in the street just in bags and of course rats and gulls tear those apart. It was like at the city dump when we were going back to car. Card details were held on check-in - really strange (I just provided unused card details and then blocked it). There was an opening between floor and doors so high you would squeeze whole foot through. I pushed the towel in it to have privacy.

    Location was good and also bad. Near the beach and the centre. This means walking distance but also gulls yelling bloody murder almost whole night. The house is also walking distance from a car park with electric charging. The floor in the bathroom was spotless. Almost like a mirror. Cleaning done well!

    Our room (nr 1) was at the street so there was some traffic. There was a lot of noise from seagulls. But maybe thats part of the coast. The town of Hastings was a let down. I wouldn't pick it as a destination but for a over night it's oke.

    Very friendly and helpfull. The beds were comfortable but a bit short. Sanitatation was great.

    Could have used more opening windows, air con or a fan. Shower is tiny, but to be expected for the size of the room.

    The lady that checked us in was lovely, very helpful. The room was immaculate and location was ideal for the purpose of our stay.

    Short stay - 2 nights The room was very comfy and the location is excellent, just a few minutes walk to town centre and 15 mins to Old Town. Very convenient located just on a parallel street to Multi Storey Car Park (~£11 for up to 24h) You have everything you need, incl. a small fridge and iron board (and iron ofc). The room we had was facing the street and it can be a bit noisy if you are a light sleeper but it wasn't an issue for us. The only thing missing was the WiFi but we were warned about it as soon as we arrived as there was an outage happening then. The lady that greeted us was very friendly and accommodating - gave us a local map and provided us with useful info about the room and the key. She was also super helpful when we forgot a pair of sunglasses after our checkout which we were able to recuperate. We would definitely stay again.

    A little tight getting in through communal doors with bags, bathroom also small. No parking and that advised was more expensive than told. No breakfast option offered. Not cleaned/turned down throughout stay

    Good location and public car park a 3 min walk away. Had a ground floor room so that was a plus. Able to check in slightly early and check out quick and easy. Left to own devices but call to check all ok and see if anything needed a nice touch.
