Marine Parade Hotel

Nous étions très satisfait de la chambre, le confort était au rendez-vous. La vue était imprenable sur la jetée d'Eastbourne, cela a rendu notre expérience géniale pour notre week-end. En revanche, la chambre sentait fort l'humidité, le pommeau de douche était cassé et la moquette n'était pas vraiment propre. L'expérience pour 1 nuit était quand même satisfaisante.

Great view from room, was cheep and cheerful, only needed for overnight stay

Room basic but very clean. Had a wonderful sea view but as the hotel is on the seafront it can be quite noisy from the road traffic. There is no reception as such, you have to phone a number and a member of staff appears and takes you up to your room. There is also no housekeeping at all, not even your bin emptied. Be aware although the hotel says it gives you the £2 a day parking when I asked for one I was told they didn’t have any so it cost us £9.95 a day to park our car. Annoying as this is one of the reasons we booked this hotel. Overall though for the price we paid for the room we were happy with what we got. Hotel across from the beach and only a short walk into town which is a bonus.

We were thankfully only staying for one night, as the experience was extremely disappointing and nowhere near what was advertised. Our room was located in the basement, with very steep stairs to access it — something that was especially difficult while travelling with a toddler and a buggy. The basement-level window was directly at street level, so all we could see were people’s feet and passing vehicles. Unfortunately, the noise insulation was also very poor, and it genuinely felt as though we were trying to sleep on the street itself due to the constant noise outside. While the room appeared superficially clean, there were no rugs or soft flooring, and the overall condition did not feel particularly comfortable or welcoming. The room also smelled strongly of cigarettes throughout our stay. There were several maintenance and safety concerns that were quite alarming. The door could not be locked from the inside, which made us feel very uneasy, especially travelling as a family. In addition, the fridge provided in the room was leaking. What was most frustrating was that the room we were given did not resemble the advertised photos at all. In fact, photos of this particular basement room do not appear to be shown anywhere in the listing, which felt very misleading. Overall, this was not the standard of accommodation we expected, and I would strongly advise future guests — especially families with young children — to consider carefully before booking.
