Lovely seafront double room, a little old-fashioned but with lots of light, charm and a seaview. Bed was comfy with lots of pillows. Clean and tidy and friendly reception staff. If you're looking for a slightly more glamorous room on a budget trip, would recommend this hotel. Would stay again!

Black-out curtains might be an improvement, as the room is extremely bright as soon as the sun rose. Could also do with a couple more electric sockets- only 2 in the room, which was tricky for 2 people needing to charge phones, to plug in the TV, fan or kettle etc.

Excellent value for money, very comfortable, friendly staff. Location right on the seafront just a few minutes walk from everywhere. This is a big hotel so please remember the cost of running something this size in this day and age. If your expecting a 5 star experience for this sort of money then it’s not for you. However if you looking for a comfortable hotel, in an ideal location and at a price that is likely unbeatable then you’ll not find better. Very happy customer. Thank you

Nothing I didn’t like it’s a budget hotel which was very good value. If you want to criticise by saying the wallpaper was old, there was a mark in the carpet then find a 5 star hotel and pay their prices. The upkeep on a Victorian hotel like this must be astronomical. Treat it for what it is, excellent value for money, right on the seafront, near to all pubs, cafes and the city centre. If people didn’t keep these places going we would all soon start to moan. Very happy. 😁

Lovely traditional hotel in a beautiful location overlooking the central pier of Eastbourne. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate our every need, and the stay was exceptional value for money for such a central location with a beautiful view.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t have changed a thing - the staff even helped us with parking close by and everything we needed was readily available and offered to us at every step of our stay.

Nothing Specific. But this is a great hotel for short visits to Eastbourne. Some hotels can be very noisy due to the Location. But on the sea front its not a problem as not so many people are outside shouting at each other.

Some of the Guests smoke in their rooms. The hotel staff go to great lengths to prevent this from happening but its not always possible for them to Police this. So it is not their fault.

We didn't stay at Glastonbury and we was moved to the New Wilmington. My review is based on the New Wilmington. Can't fault it at all despite only opening recently. Breakfast was brilliant and looking forward to staying again next year

Nothing wrong at all. Booked it for next year

The manager was very welcoming and helpful to resolve any issues that I raised. He certainly makes the place and is so dedicated.

It was a shame that they were not doing food although I knew that when I booked. Would have been nice to sit in the conservatory having breakfast while watch the sea views across the road. No atmosphere in the bar area, tv on bar lights off. As staying on my own would have been nice to see other guests enjoying themselves. Other hotels nearby had live music on and were buzzing. Just felt unwelcoming when you returned as so quiet.

Great hotel. Spent a week there and enjoyed my stay. It's very cheap and ideally located, only a short walk to the shops and restaurants. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. My room was spotless. Overall no complaints what's so ever

Nothing to dislike

• Location • Price of stay • Seaview from room • Tea / Coffee facilities • Supply of towels + soap • In built DVD player in TV and in house DVD collection • WiFi • Comfortability ie room and bed • 24/7 reception

• Lift: can be awkward to get into with luggage, old and noisy • Given a twin room but was a single occupuant • Door lock and key which was slightly bent • Tap water stated it was 'not drinking water' however no issues after boiling and drinking it • Shower: the water pressure was weak. Also there was no hot water but was amended on the 2 day • The bathroom fixings was falling off the wall • Only 2 socket outlets in the room making it difficult to charge own devices and also use hotel appliances ie TV, kettle • Small TV and was difficult to view programs and watch films due to the quaility • Window: one did not stay up • Other guest banging thiers doors or standing outside chatting loudly • Loosing my bath puff which I left on the window to dry, it disappeared!

Friendly male staff on from Friday evening and for the duration of our stay. The cleaning lady was really helpful. Room was clean and appeared to have been recently decorated. The hotel was in an Ideal situation for the town, the pier and sea front. We would definitely stay there again. Very enjoyable stay.

On arrival female receptionist sent us to a room that appeared to already be occupied. Thankfully that as quickly resolved. It would have been good if food was available at the hotel, unfortunately to covid restrictions this has still not been reinstated.

Huge room, good bed, great view, fantastic value. Peaceful. Thank you

A neighbour was smoking on the balcony - not really something the hotel was responsible about :)
