Beautiful and Elegant seafront hotel

The Grand is a very lovely hotel which has kept its feeling of grandeur from times gone by without being old fashioned or shabby. It has a quiet elegance with exceptional decor and service.

Grand Hotel , Eastbourne

The Grand is a fine hotel but I was concerned about the overall service provided. Our room, although very clean, had an unpleasant musty smell. We raised this with the hotel but it was not adequately dealt with. Our room was not cleaned on one occasion and towels not replaced on another. Service in the bar was slow. On the positive side staff were generally friendly and attentive and service at breakfast was very good.

A Real 5*

Everything about this hotel and the experience was excellent.
PHILIP, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Hotel is wonderful with as many of the original features on display. The rooms are spacious and in keeping with a period hotel. Excellent bathroom, comfy bed. The windows are old single glazed sash windows and rattle in the wind. However a couple of stratigicly placed teaspoons stopped the rattles. Breakfast is amazing something for everyone. The staff are amazing as the guest is their most important focus. All reflected in the price. Top marks
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great 1-night stay in March 2025. The service from the staff was impeccable and we were made to feel very welcome. The room was clean and tidy, and functional with a very large bathroom. The included amenities (indoor pool, steam room, jacuzzi) and complimentary breakfast was outstanding. We would definitely stay again.
Ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed here with wider family, the staff are welcoming and being able to use the facilities before check in time is really helpful when the party is travelling from different places. The rooms were clean and the lounge area was spacious with a good menu. Breakfast food was good quality but service was slow and limited ‘help yourself’ item options (possibly it was busy and there was a lack of restocking). Overall we would stay again.

Mixed review

we arrive quite early wanting drinks in the bar which wasn't a problem, but it was really really slow service and there wasn't many people about to be honest Even tried sitting on the patio Service was even worse we thought we made a serious mistake booking this place for our wedding anniversary, which is 39 years we got our room and got changed for the evening as the evening started different staff arrived and things changed. We had a fantastic evening meal a brilliant piano player during the meal. (I believe his name is Roy.) All the food was spot-on to be honest and then we left there and discovered there was a jazz band in the main bar which was absolutely brilliant as well in that main bar there was more efficient staff that looked after us very well so the evening made up for the slow service in the day so all in all really enjoyed it was quite expensive though but it is the grand hotel Eastbourne there was certain members of staff that are amazing they've been there in a long long time would return for them

Classic hotel that truly lives up to the name!

Beautiful classic hotel that is grand in all aspects not just name. Aside from the opulent surroundings, the service was excellent - responsive and helpful staff. The breakfast (the only meal I had at the hotel) was absolutely outstanding. Super comfortable bed and room also - two nights of great sleep even though I don't normally sleep well away from home. Will be back with the whole family!

Murad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel decoration was beautiful and very clean. The room was perfect and when we had an issue the staff were very efficient and moved us to a new room. The hotel was very quiet except for a bit of noise during one day when scaffolding was being erected outside the new room we were in, this was due to repairs taking place so couldn’t be helped. We had a superb breakfast each morning with lots of choice.
suzanne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had a fabulous stay! I was in recovery from a gastricoperation and had very tricky food requirements. The staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure I had meals that met all the requirements (dairy free, gluten free and no acidic or spicy foods). The chef made me tasty alternatives and i enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea that catered to all my dietary requirements. A special mention of Chantelle, who at every dinner service ensured that my meals met all my requirements numerous times. My stay was relaxing, in the perfect location. I would stay again thanks to the impeccable service of the staff!

This is my favourite hotel full stop! It’s always a complete delight staying here. Fantastic hotel, beautiful rooms with extremely comfortable bed, superb service and wonderful, attentive staff all set in a remarkably beautiful building by the sea. It’s completely unique and never lets its standards drop. Highly recommended!

Regretfully, for the rating of the hotel and the price, the quality overall was disappointing. Breakfast cooked was not hot. Wait time between courses on one night was lengthy. Needed more staff to cope better.
