The room was very comfortable a good bed. Enjoyed the full English breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful . It’s on the sea front. A short walk to the town.

Only on small thing , a mirror needed next to the plug socket

The hotel is of an older period but I was pleasantly surprised to have a well modernised and freshly decorated room, single, overlooking sea. Clean and comfortable, both bedroom and bathroom. (Wonderful to have a single room with an ocean view!) Buffet breakfast - excellent, in an again modernised and airy dining room. No lunch or evening dining facility but bar food served throughout day which could be eaten in the lounge area or in the sun lounge overlooking the promenade. The staff were lovely. Warm and helpful. I have stayed in Eastbourne many times. This was the first time at the Cumberland. I consider it something of a 'find' and I will certainly look forward to going back there in the future.

I noticed the comfortable ambiance as soon as I entered the foyer and the welcome I got from Alicia was warm. She first let me unpack my car then sorted out the parking. Once parked she sorted my room key etc. I felt at home. Throughout my stay she and the other staff were friendly and helpful. When I needed an early start and would miss breakfast Alicia arranged a packed lunch instead. The night porter had it ready as I left and when I returned Alicia checked I had received it. Special mention to the restaurant staff who went out of their way to be helpful as well. Oh yes, I had my dog with me and she was fussed and made welcome too We walked the Seven Sisters together.

Being located across from the bandstand on the esplanade meant the sounds of the performances reached my room. But this actually enhanced the seaside experience

Wonderful little room that was perfect for my 4-night stay. Stunning views, excellent location, fast wi-fi, quiet at night, and all at a very affordable price! The balcony is shared, as clearly stated in the description, but it was still lovely to have one right on the sea!

The bed could use an upgrade - it was soft, and I could feel the springs. The lighting was very dim, with the vanity light in the bathroom broken for the duration of my stay. I would definitely stay here again, regardless.

Very spacious single room with separate shower/bath, TV, telephone and facilities to make hot drinks. Great amount of storage and hairdryer provided. The reception staff were very welcoming and the £2.20 parking voucher extremely useful. I paid for a very reasonably priced breakfast for both mornings which was well cooked and well presented. Needless to say I didn't need lunch on either day.

The shower was mounted on the side wall of the bath with a metal frame (possible radiator) above the taps where youd expect the shower head to be which meant negotiating how to stand awkward. The head was fixed on the wall below head height. Fine for me as I wasn't wanting to wash my hair but if I had, that would have been a challenge.

The room the was clean and tidy with a good view of the seafront. Bathroom although, small was clean and functional. The staff were very friendly, courteous and very helpful. The breakfast was of a 'buffet' style which catered for all needs and the quality of the breakfast along with the lunches we had were all very good and fairly priced. Location of the hotel is fantastic, right on the seafront and only a 10/15 minute walk away from the town centre.

N/A

The room was well-appointed & dog-friendly, all the hotel staff were friendly & entirely customer-focused & the location was absolutely ideal.

The bedside lights were a little too bright for our liking, there was no means of charging my phone overnight on my side of the bed (no wall socket) & the only hotel lift stopped working half way through our stay, meaning multiple hikes up & down to the 4th floor on two days, including the day when we needed to pack up our things & leave. Our dog has a heart condition & we had to carry him up & down four floors, which would have been okay, had we not had to also pay £10 a night for him to be with us in the first place!

The room was a good size with a sea view, the breakfast was satisfactory - the hotel manager went out to get sourdough bread for our toast - and the location for a short break could not be better. All the staff were helpful and friendly, more like a small family run hotel than a sizeable one. The low cost of car parking permits was also a plus. Altogether a most satisfying stay.

Nothing.

Very welcoming. Staff were wonderful.. Warm rooms and very comfortable beds. Staff were so helpful as one of our guests is gluten-free and dairy free. Lifts available if required. Would stay again

A bit old fashioned, maybe for some, but we were happy. We got locked out one night as we had collected a relative from the airport. Luckily, a staff member let us in

Excellent location on the seafront. Easy walk into town (less than 10 mins) easy walk to the tennis (less than 10 mins) which we went for. Very friendly staff and nice rooms. Would stay again for sure.

The floorboards were a bit creaky so glad we were on the top floor (!) apart from that all good. We were lucky with parking so that was no problem for us but get a permit from The hotel to park on the streets nearby and it can get v busy.
