    The hotel is looking a bit tired in general. Floorboards a bit creaky in my room. You get what you pay for. It fitted my needs. Def not a luxury hotel tho.

    Stayed here just one night to do Eastbourne triathlon the next day. Managed to check in half an hour early which was helpful. Perfect central location and had a car park for £6 a day (first come first served…. About 40 car spaces roughly?) Friendly check in staff. Shower was powerful and water was hot. Room a decent size

    Naturally for an older hotel somewhere things were tired and worn. The floorboards were uneven and noisy, the windows were in poor condition.

    Location perfect, probably the best in Eastbourne. All staff we encountered were friendly, polite, helpful and efficient. The breakfast was good. Our room was spacious with a great view of the pier and coastline.

    Noisy floor . It was a very old hotel so we couldn't expect magic there but it was a very comfortable room.

    The bed was very comfortable and room with a lovely view.

    Although parking was advertised I was warned it was on a first come first serve basis. I had mobility issues and was elated to find a space only to be told to move my car as all the spaces were booked. The NCP car park was nearby.

    The location and the single room was a good size and spotlessly clean. It had everything I needed for an overnight stay for a very reasonable price.

    The room was ok but overlooked car park and back of shops. Curtains in the room did not draw and were coming off the rails and bathroom door was "sticking". We reported these to Reception when we left.

    The location is very good and the car park. Breakfast was reasonable. Lounge area overlooked sea and was pleasant. Good value for what we paid.

    ......but sadly let down by various details. Dirt behind the taps, both sink and bath, and bathroom door dirty. Inadequate lifts Front door step chipped - not a good first impression on entering a Grand Hotel

    The Burlington is, or should I say was, a Grand Hotel on the sea front at Eastbourne......

    Photos of the hotel under demolition and construction and areas at front and rear were messy and needed attention. Parts of Eastbourne seemed a little run down.

    Restaurant was ok, music in the evening was ok. Parking was also ok. Didn’t realise from photos that a third of the hotel had been demolished and under construction.

    Disappointed that card only accepted - no cash! Older people usually like to have a choice - for us that means CASH! Dislike putting small amounts ( i e: pint of beer ) etc on card!

    Noisey floorboards above, not just a little noise but a noise that would wake you up from sleep. Repairs need to happen.

    Single room As soon as I walked in I could feel the floor was not actually level which was quite off putting. Lay on the bed and that wasnt level as the floor was wonky. I know its an old hotel but the floor should be level at least.

    Our room was dirty. There was evidence of sick on carpet beside bed and again over by window/radiator which had not been cleaned up properly. Bedside drawers were littered with crumbs. Coffee machine and kettle still contained water. Dusty. The shower filled with water and didn't drain. Presented as shabby and although efforts have been made to modernise with furniture the carpets, interior paintwork and windows all need work.
