Hotels with Breakfast in Eastbourne

The hotel is in a great location, about 12 minutes walk from the train station. The guy at the front desk was very enthusiastic and patient. It was already evening when we arrived. He still introduced us bit by bit. And the hotel is pet-friendly, and I saw a lot of cute dogs! !

Fantastic stay! Highly recommend. My partner and I stayed for a night. Arrived rather late and the staff were still up waiting for us. Acknowledged us by name and showed us up to our sea-facing room. Clean, well furnished, minimalist modern and spacious feel. Woke up to a fantastic unblocked sea view in our large window. Breakfast was available to all in the kitchen/ pantry from 7.30-10 with a more than decadent spread of your staples, hot fresh brewed tea and coffee. Minor drawback was the slightly longer walking distance from the city (about 15mins), no toothbrush available, and had I not read up online ahead of time, I’d never be able to find the place as there is (as many others have also mentioned) no clear sign that says “The Halcyon”. So to anyone to follow in our steps, this is honestly a beautiful place to stay. Excellent value for money away from the noise of the town centre, wonderful hospitable staff for a lovely guest experience, delightful & scrumptious brekkie, cosy and clean modernistic rooms & gorgeous views to wake up to. No hassle checking in or out. Just be mindful to look out for the big words that says “HOTEL” and you’re very likely at the right spot. (Checkout photos 1&2) Walk in without fear and be greeted by warm smiles and a fantastic experience all around.

The hotel is small, but very cozy, and the service is good, especially the grandma who served breakfast, was very nice. The hotel has a very good view and parking is convenient

Avoid this place at all costs. The manager is shockingly rude and treats guests with utter disrespect—zero sense of customer service. The mattress was horrendous, like sleeping on springs. This is not a restful stay but a regrettable experience. Eastbourne has better options—don’t waste your money here.

The hotel is very beautiful, very clean, the sea scenery is very good, the transportation is also very convenient, and near to the sea. Open your eyes and see the sunrise. The boss is also very warm, there is water and milk in the refrigerator, very satisfied!! I love here and want to stay next time. The lack of lift to move luggage is a little inconvenient, but the spacious rooms and warm decor offset all of this

Good location right next to the beach and Eastbourne seafront. Only around 30 minute drive to the Severn Sisters car parks where you can complete the hike. Rooms are well kept with nice interiors and good views. However, parking can be difficult as only designated parking is by the seafront which is often full. Had to park in the multi-story NCP instead but is only around a 10 minute walk.

Downside was the size of the room, basically just big enough for a double bed and thats it, it was also very very hot in the room with no fan and a tiny window which barely let a breeze in also the bed wasn't very thick you could feel and hear the springs. TV was very small too, if we'd just been staying 1 or 2 nights I feel we wouldn't of minded too much but for a 4 night stay and the cost as well I expected it to be alot nicer. The towels were changed regularly though and it was very clean, staff were also very accommodating so can't fault them.

The location was very good, with convenient access to the seaside. The cleanliness of both the room and communal areas was acceptable. However, the staff availability and overall welcome were not satisfactory. I was not informed either at the time of booking or during check-in that I needed to notify the staff if I intended to return to the hotel after midnight. On the second night of my stay, I returned after midnight but found the entrance door closed. I tried knocking for around 30 minutes and repeatedly attempted to contact reception, but the reception phone number was not answered. As I was unable to gain access, I eventually had to contact my friend and stay at their accommodation overnight. This was very inconvenient and disappointing, and I believe guests should be clearly informed of the property's late-night access arrangements at the time of booking or check-in.

Everything I needed for an easy and comfortable stopover for work. Friendly welcome, comfy bed, clean room, decent shower for a very reasonable price. Location wasn’t particularly important as I arrived late and left early, but the Majestic is right on the seafront, perfectly placed for the beach, shops, bars and restaurants. Hotel bar looked nice but it was just a bed for the night on this occasion. Would certainly stay again. Thanks to staff.

Main reason booked was close to the event attending and also had lifts. When arrived they couldn’t find booking had to show confirmation. One lift was broken but had another so wasn’t too bad. When we came back later found the second lift wasn’t working either. Not good if you have health issues. Finally made it back to room to find no toilet roll in bathroom, tried to find a number to call the reception but it took half hour of googling to find one as the one listed on booking is for another hotel. Finally got through and toilet roll delivered. Room itself was clean but dated.
