What guests think

Grand Hastings sits on the seafront with appealing views, but reviews are mixed, citing dated interiors, small or dark rooms for some, noticeable odours in places, and occasional maintenance concerns involving heating, hot water, windows, or televisions.

Many guests highlight friendly, accommodating service from Peter and the team, with touches like early check-in, upgrades, and luggage storage.

A very quirky, friendly experience from this very tired ‘hotel’. Great location but lacking in any facilities and investment. A step back in time without the trimmings.

The hotel was very basic and in need of updating to the bedroom and the bathroom. The carpet was very stained,the bed duvet cover was very worn and bed was not very comfortable. The bathroom towels were also old and worn out. No toiletries were included. The outside of hotel was also not appealing with dirty windows and old fashioned net curtains. The only good thing about the hotel was the manager who was very nice and friendly. Hotel was expensive for the night at £100 and not value for money.

If we had taken the time to read the reviews on this hotel, we would NEVER have booked to stay here. We decided that we could not sleep in the room/bed and left in the early hours of the morning to return home. The room smelled, it was cramped, cold and not clean. The floor was uneven with very badly stained carpet.

Very friendly proprietor greeted us. He had sent a welcome email saying early check-in was available and we took advantage of this arriving just after 12. They offer to keep your luggage on the day you leave so you can explore the area without the hassle of bags. The hotel although a bit dated is very clean and very comfortable. We had a room at the top of the house with amazing seaviews. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom although small was again very clean and had a lovely powerful shower. All in all for a seafront property it was a great price and great value for money. Would definitely stay here again !!

The owner was friendly and chatted a lot over check in. Which was slightly irritating as just wanted to check in and explore Hastings. He was elderly and slow so was patient with him. There was no explanation of facilities in hotel e.g. wifi, breakfast etc. Room was clean and comfortable. On check out there was no one at the reception so was unsure of procedure. Ended up seeing a member of staff and she told us to leave the keys on the counter. This was the only staff we encountered on our stay. But for one night was comfortable and clean.

After a long drive From Bristol and sorting through things after a bereavement, I found Grand Hotel very welcoming. The Manager Pete was very understanding to our situation. He made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We were in room 18 overlooking the beach and sea, the amnesties basic, kettle tea coffee etc, bathroom was equally good and clean. I can’t fault this hotel. Easy parking till 10am will be definitely be recommending the Hotel to Family and Friends.
