Best Western Lansdowne Hotel

Lovely place that always relaxes quests. Good location for town, theatres and seafront the staff are friendly to guests (mind you heard one staff member in bar slagging off a management member for leaving him too much work!). Breakfast wide selection including continental and cooked. Interesting hotel with lots of outside booking. Last time did not enjoy the scones so missed these out this time, |Looked good but tasted very ordinary. Biggest complaint was the replacing of the excellent chips in the £11.50 bar meal by the Iceland or McDonald type frites. Fish, Peas and salad excellent but why destroy the dish by serving up over cooked greasy frites. Trade Descriptions Act needs to be applied as several other dishes on bar menu say chips when presumably the same poor quality frites are served. But will always return to this days of old hotel. less

Stayed for one night following an event at the hotel earlier. The single room I had was adequate for my need, with ample tea, coffee, biscuits etc and gel, shampoo etc. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast good and dinner for the event excellent. Have stayed here previously and is my favourite hotel whenever I need a bed! Particularly like the idea of several lounges available. less

Stayed in a Family room for 1 night in October. The hotel is in a great location right by a beach and a very short walk from the centre of Eastbourne. The hotel has some public parking nearby and offers discounts for hotel guests. The reception area and surrounding lounges of which there are a few are quite old fashioned but offer lots of seating. We ate from the bar menu at lunch and it was very nice with a good offering of sandwiches and light bites. The main restaurant offers a formal dinner and a nice breakfast with a good selection of hot and cold food but it does get very busy and some of teh food may run out. The room was clean, huge and modern, just excellent. It had one double and a single, a decently sized bathroom, small TV seating area and lots of storage. However apparently at the time we went the heating only gets turned on for a few hours a day in the morning and evening therefore it was very cold in the room. Overall this hotel is a mix of old and new but very ncie and in a great location. less

Ideally located right on the promenade, caring staff, excellent restaurant (Devonshire Restaurant) with great menu (changing daily) offering wide choice of dishes, reasonably priced and with a good range of wines to complement the food.Spacious bedrooms with all facilities. Comfortable beds and similar armchairs in some rooms.Definitely worth choosing a room facing the sea. less

Booked a two night B&B trip for a little mid-week get away - hotel was nice if a little dated and definitely geared up for the more senior citizen We asked for a sea view and were on the 3rd floor. Room was a little dated and very warm (day and night) even with the windows open, which made it noisy at night and first thing in the morning (traffic) because the hotel is on the main road running between the hotel and esplanade. Bathroom was tiny with a very small shower, whose doors didn't close probably so we ended up with a very wet bathroom floor and also a very tiny sink! Good food selection for breakfast with lovely staff. We ate out in the town in the evenings - thought the price of the hotel menu was slightly on the expensive side. Would I stay here again - probably not less
