We didn’t really know what to expect as we have never been to Eastbourne before but the hotel and our balcony were just splendid! We really enjoyed our time on our balcony and every employee we encountered was courteous and kind.

Mini break

Hotel in a perfect position on the sea front across the road from the beach and band stand and a short walk from the station. Bedroom looked newly decorated and the staff were very pleasant and helpful.

6/10 Good

Disappointed.

Lovely looking Hotel, friendly reception on arrival. Nice room, but had to move rooms in the middle of the night after being bitten by a bedbug, the staff pulled up the carpet the next morning and found more bedbugs lurking but didn't give a fig for my welfare and didn't seem at all concerned with my experience.
Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We got to the hotel on Friday night and we was looked after by all the staff and the room was great
Joseph, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice room, clean hotel, dogs was no hassle.

We had a nice stay, we brought our dog, in the booking process there was no way of booking for a dog but when we arrived we just said we had a dog and we paid an extra ten pounds so that was fab and no hassle. The room was clean and bright and very spacious, but it was quite warm so sleeping was a little difficult. A fan was provided which was great but the sash window only opened four inches or so, so it was quite hard to get a breeze going, I assume the windows are fixed like this as a safety precaution but maybe a few more inches could help with air flow.

Good value

Great position on seafront. Single room on top floor, a bit hot, but a fan was quickly supplied on request. Over -friendly seagull rather annoying tapping on my window on 4 or 5 occasions! Another guest must’ve fed it. Comfy bed, reasonable Wi-Fi (not great), breakfast good, especially tasty sausage (after I sent it back because pink inside). Overall, good value. All staff were pleasant and helpful.

Something new

I needed a quick break and The Cumberland met the bill (this was my first visit). Staff were courteous, helpful and friendly whilst the breakfast was amply sufficient and good quality. The room was bigger than I had expected and came equipped with a fan since we were in the middle of a heat wave and I think this top floor room was hot at the best of times. I really like these characterful Victorian hotels with their old world charm and decor. Much more interesting in my mind than a boxy travelodge or similar! Definitely would recommend the hotel and I hope to go back soon.

Everything was great , even got a free upgrade from single to double room , only downside was a noise i think from a boiler or water system every 30 seconds or so that made sleeping more difficult , maybe i got an unlucky room
