Everything was as described online and went well. It's a very pleasant, friendly and comfortable hotel. Its location was perfect for us as it's near the seafront and a street of nice unpretentious restaurants and the theatre. It's an easy walk from and back to the railway station. Perfect for walking (or driving/bussing) to Beachy Head to the West or East to the Pier and beyond. It's clean, the lift works, the windows work, as does all the plumbing and so on! Breakfast was as described - no Michelin Star pretensions but nice with a good variety of the usual offerings.

It's not 'modern' (and doesn't pretend to be) so the wifi is a bit slow and our TV wasn't a 'Smart' TV but worked as it should. In a way that's all part of the charm of this hotel.

Really surprised by this hotel. Beautiful touches, and really thoughtful staff. You can tell that an establishment is well managed by the attitude of the staff, because they will be invariably cheerful and enthusiastic about their work and this was the case here. I’m sorry I didn’t photograph my breakfast! It was absolutely stunning. Everything is hand cooked to order. My bed was so comfortable I didn’t need my sleeping tablets. My room was absolutely huge and had everything in it I needed, including a hairdryer and an ironing board which was surprising. Lovely and clean, intriguing old house, beautifully kept. Wish I had spent more time in the lounges or in the bar. I will come back as soon as possible.

Nothing at all, it was great. The location is excellent. The only thing is that there were lots of drunk people screaming outside in the street in the early hours of the morning, but that had absolutely nothing to do with the hotel and was completely out of their control.

We stayed on a room only basis and found the room to be clean and the bed was very comfortable. Bar area and separate lounge also very comfortable. Hotel is very much a home from home place, which we enjoy. Hotel is also in a great location for town, beachy head walks, and the beach. We did not take breakfast, but would have taken an evening meal, but the resturantant was not open for the few days of our stay. No problem as there are plenty of eating establishments nearby. We look forward to coming again.

Nothing?

Stayed one night in the Willmington Suite. Had a work meeting during the day and the staff were fabulous, allowed us to take over a lounge, provided refreshments and couldn't have done enough for us. The suite was a lovely surprise very tidy, clean and comfortable. Only downer was it was so hot! The heating was on high, and I had to open 2 windows and prayed for a breeze. The room otherwise was perfect. The onsite restaurant was delightful once again staff where very attentive and the food was delicious and the portions big! This really his a gem of a place and I hope to return

Hot room...

I loved the location, so close to the beach, in a lovely area of town, very bright and not too busy, easy to walk to from the station. A beautiful building, inside and out. I loved the quirky lounge areas, one with a grand piano and one with retro board games from my youth, a record player and some lovely old books. I spent my morning there drinking my coffee and bathing in the sunshine from the large bay window, truly glorious. The breakfast was perfect 👌 and the staff all polite and friendly. I felt so calm and looked after there and definitely want to go back .

Nothing, I loved it all. Thankyou for a perfect stay.

The property was lovely, my room was cozy but it was perfect for my one night! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was lovely and clean. It was nice and quiet when trying to get to sleep. My room was facing out the back of the property and I had no problems with noise. The parking was brilliant, I arrived around 1:15PM so knew I was early for check-in, I was able to be checked in at that time which was a bonus! It was clearly signposted when you got closer to the town centre which was helpful. The breakfast was lovely, and was cooked to order which meant it was nice and warm! All of the staff I spoke to were friendly and helpful.

The decor was, as mentioned by others, a little dated but I think that isn’t a breaking point at all. It fit the character of the building. The only downside on breakfast was not having any dairy free spread for my toast, not the end of the world!

It’s a roomy vintage hotel, and the manager was kind enough to upgrade my room since it was available. They have two sitting rooms in the ground floor, an elevator, a nice dining room where they serve breakfast, including eggs & sausage if you wish. Their dining room is open on weekends, but I missed that, so no review for that. It’s a very short walk to the beach, which is lovely. Plus the sightseeing bus has started to run for the season.

Nothing, really.

Welcome was EXCEPTIONALLY friendly on check in. Nothing was too much trouble for the reception staff on arrival and rest of staff throughout the stay. Location was perfect for Airshow. Above average size for single room with handy extras included plus free WiFi Please note this review was for my son travelling solo (aged 29)

Nothing at all Only tiny gripe nowhere to put shower stuff in shower cubicle so had to step out to get bits while soaking wet. Perhaps a little shelf/hooks?

A wonderful older hotel. There's a small car park at the side for about twelve cars which was handy. Very helpful staff on reception who were happy to let me use the car park as I arrived way too early for check in. Nice decor and a pair of lovely sitting rooms one leading onto the small bar. My room was very large. I had twin beds. The shower wasn't the largest but it worked well. Well stocked with tea and coffee in the room. The hotel is in a great location right next to Devonshire Park the Stage Door pub and a short walk to the seafront. I had a nice cooked breakfast with good service. A very enjoyable stay. I will be back at some point.

Very little to not like. The shower wasn't the biggest but that's the tiniest gripe.

Breakfast was really good - excellent choice and well cooked and presented. Staff were extremely helpful, carrying luggage, giving information and offering help. The car park is joined on to the property and there is an entrance door into the Hotel and this floor is also served by a lift.

It was a shame that the restaurant was closed the night we were there - unfortunately they had no bookings. The rooms, whilst adequate and comfortable, were a little old fashioned.
