Tried many hotels in Eastbourne. The View is my favourite. Reception Staff really good. Good rooms. Great gym, bar menu needs an overhaul, and a little more excitement. Restaurant isn’t always open, but I find plenty of restaurants close by. Breakfast staff are lovely.

Tried a few hotels in Eastbourne but The View is the best. Great service friendly staff. Breakfast staff are lovely. As is the breakfast. Good gym. I do think the bar menu needs reviewing. The restaurant isn’t always open either. But nice restaurants around.
