Best Western Lansdowne Hotel

Have just got back from a night at the Lansdowne Hotel in Eastbourne and had an absolutly brilliant stay. The hotel is full of charm - parts of it have a real cosy and traditional feel and parts of it are really stylish contemporary. Its a great mixture of old and new. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, full of local knowledge and able to point me in the direction of good vegetarian food and some lovely local pubs. I slept like a log in a huge room with high ceillings, ( I loved the headboard and the chandelier in the room that I was staying in). The room was south facing so I thought there might be sun early in the morning which would wake me, but the curtains were very thick and blocked all the light out. The breakfast was great - I love a good English and I have to commend them on the butchers sausages and thick cut bacon. Overall I loved the place and will definately be going back. less

Had an amazing vintage afternoon tea for 12 in the Wilmington lounge. The tea was laid out beautifully, all the food was home made and plentiful. The service from Tom impeccable. They could not have made more of an effort to make the afternoon an absolute success. I cannot thank them enough, will definitely be back. Highly recommend. less

We came down for two nights away before the hectic Christmas period and had a wonderful wonderful time. It's always a good break when the weather is fine but even the Best Western Lansdowne couldn't promise that, the weather was good though. The staff were so very accommodating and the rooms and service were faultless. Food was excellent too, their buffet breakfast was always topped up to ensure freshness. I would heartily recommend the Best Western Lansdowne Hotel for any occasion in Eastbourne. less

Brilliant Party Night again at the Lansdowne. So good I have booked to go again in a couple of weeks. Service was excellent. Bar and Restaurant staff excelled. Very attentive and service could not be faulted. Food was very good. And the Christmas Party 80s band Sound of the Crowd had everyone up dancing all night and were brilliant as always. The party was last friday and everyone at work is still talking about it 4 days later. Full Marks to the management for an excellent team of staff at the hotel including Sharon your events manager who helped all the way from booking until the day. less

Looking for a couple of night stay in Eastbourne. The deal, including breakfast was better than leading budget hotels in the area, however I would not have taken it at normal rates.The bedrooms are old and shabby, bathroom shower very poor and difficult to control the temperature. Toilet seat twisted when using it.Very noisy during the evening with guests shouting along corridors.Bar prices very expensive.Positive points are:Courteous and helpful staff.Good foodGood breakfastGood location to the beachGarage parking on request. less
