I wanted a hotel with a balcony that was the whole reason but was disappointed with what the balcony looked like wasnt easy it was an obstacle to get to such a high step inside the room and out needed two steps added in/out to make it easier was a total letdown also the table on balcony was dirty. Got the occasional visit from the seagull. The lift was a novelty love a part of history. Staff were friendly and helpful thankyou to one of the staff who took our photo sitting in the lift just had to get that photo lol. Had a welcome glass of wine don't often get that in a hotel. Who knows me and hubby might be back at some point maybe with the balcony step made easier I missed my early cup of tea and watching the sunrise because of the obstacle so didn't bother with the balcony almost resembles a danger hazard unfortunately Overall we had a nice time didn't have breakfast too expensive at £20pp went to a cafe round the corner .

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the downstairs area had some nice classical features as you would expect from a hotel that is over a hundred year old. We only had food once at the hotel and were disappointed, the panini was hard and dry, and the choice for lunch on the day was limited due to the airshow that was on. The bin in the downstairs ladies changing room had no bin liner and was full of ladies used feminine products. We had a dog friendly room and the carpet was badly stained and the wall had plaster coming off where the damp had set in. There was no mattress protector and some stains on the mattress and duvet. Having paid a premium due to the airshow and an additional fee for a dog friendly room we were disappointed as this is not what you would expect from a 5 star property as rated on Expedia. No one asked us if we had enjoyed our stay as I suspect that they knew it was not good value for money at over £600 including the dog fee for 2 nights room only. The owners need to spend money on the property as it does need some new carpets and the wall in room 203 needs fixing.

What a lovely hotel in a great location

We loved, loved, loved this hotel and would definitely stay again if back in Eastbourne. It was a last minute trip and quite unplanned so I booked based on others great feedback and we have to agree. Easy parking was followed by such a lovely warm welcome and quick checkin. They have a beautiful old and original lift int he hotel with metal shutters and a seat which was lovely. However what was even nicer was the fact that you are taken to your room to check you are happy with it. The staff at every contact were friendly and the place spotlessly clean. We would have been very happy had we been staying longer. Another nice touch was the offer of a complimentary glass of wine int he bar at 6pm as a welcome to the hotel. Whilst we couldnt take advantage it was touches like this that made the place feel out of the ordinary and a little more special. Everything about the hotel showed tradition and elegance. Well dont to the team working at this hotel - you are doing a great job!!!

Perfect stop over for the tennis

Good location on the seafront and very short walk to the tennis venue. The mattress on the king size bed was really comfortable. Good view of the beach and pier. Staff were really helpful and the food was great. The chef made a lovely pasta dish for me and my husband's steak was really tasty.

What can i say apart from a very big thank you to all the staff myself and wife came in contact with during our stay. 3mths ago we stayed at The Grand in Brighton which was a absolutely amazing stay for my 60th, but The Chatsworth Hotel topped it without doubt, from the moment we arrived at 6pm the receptionist greeted us with a smile before taking us up in the antique lift to our beautiful large spacious Jr suite. The room was amazing with sea views, a super kingsize bed & the Jacuzzi bath was amazing. When we came back from dinner & cinema the night porter once again faultless and after a quick chat he offered us a late checkout which we gladly accepted, because we were able to enjoy room service breakfast without rushing & another soak in the Jacuzzi bath before checking out at 12pm. The waitress who delivered our breakfast once again lovely smile & friendly. My only negative was that we didnt have dressing gowns/slippers in the room & a mini fridge. Next time we will come for a longer stay & try out the restaurant & piano bar, but The weekend was absolutely perfect especially as we were celebrating our wedding Anniversary. Thank you Chatsworth team for making our short stay one we will remember & will be returning to very soon.
