Tower House 1066

Visiting local family so only used to sleep overnight, didn't spend much time at the guest house. Clean room pleasant staff and able to park close in the road.

I wouldn't say this is the worst place I've ever stayed, although on arrival it certainly felt that way. The property has the potential to be so much better, but sadly it appears to have been allowed to run down through a lack of maintenance and attention to detail. The reception staff were warm, approachable and helpful. However, we were both disappointed and quite shocked to find belongings and mess left behind by the previous occupant(s) in our room. To their credit, the reception staff dealt with this very promptly when we brought it to their attention, and I can't fault them for their response. Nevertheless, the room should never have been handed over to new guests in that condition, particularly in a relatively small property where you would expect such things to be noticed. Unfortunately, the same lack of attention to detail was evident throughout the property. We stayed in the family room, which was a decent size, but much of the furniture had clearly seen better days. After our initial experience on entering the room, we were understandably concerned about cleanliness, but thankfully the bedding and towels were clean. The location was fine for us - around a 25–30 minute walk to the seafront - and we had no difficulty finding on-street parking. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel, and the courtyard and garden looked pleasant. Overall, it's a shame because the property could be quite charming with some investment and care.

Easy, quick & pleasant check in. Room No 1 was clean & tidy. Property, decor & fittings a bit dated, but not an issue. Bedding was lovey & clean and felt nice. Mattress was OK, could do with replacing though. Breakfast was offered at £11 per person. We gave it a miss. Plenty of on road parking IF your EARLY! About a 15-20 min walk down hill to the seafront which was clean & tidy. Good selection of eateries, bars & shops on teh seafront. We felt very safe, but probably not the best area of Hasting to stay in, and I don't mean that in a nasty way, just a bit run down.

An adequate B&B, but to call this a 4 star hotel is false advertising

Cost was the best thing about it. I paid under £60 in mid July, Friday before Pirate weekend. Excellent value. Had the option of no breakfast (that would have been extra), which was also good for me. House had so much period charm and people running it were really lovely and friendly. Temperature was too hot for me (they do not have air-con), so my sleep was not the best, but not their fault. No additional toiletries, apart from hair dryer and towels (& toilet roll) you need to bring your own. Also not a negative. I expect that at that cost. Definitely suggest it as great value for money, short walk to St Leonard's rail station. Would recommend to anyone on a budget, like me. XxxxX
