Best Western Lansdowne Hotel

Location is superb, right on the seafront only minutes walk to promenade. Parking is on the street but the hotel provide a parking permit for just £1 p.day. The room was comfortable and just adequate in size to be called a reasonable double. The bathroom was just o.k. and could have done with an improved clean; quite a lot of dust and the mirror was grubby. In hot weather the room would have been very stuffy, even with the windows open. However there was a fan provided that would improve the ventilation. The breakfast was ok, but for £25 for two it didn't seem particularly special. On the Monday morning at 9am the breakfast room was very full and it took some time before a waitress took our order for tea and coffee; they had run-out of bacon and the queue to make toast was not worth the wait! It could be that a 9.30 end to breakfast serving during week days is too early and causing a peak at 9am. The meal in the restaurant on the Sunday evening was very good; attentive staff and a quality wine at a decent price. A very enjoyable time all round. The steak was superb and the trout dish excellent. Would certainly return to this hotel for a short break - just do something about the breakfast rush-hour! less

First time in Eastbourne on business stayed at the Landsdowne Hotel. The hotel is very traditional and has an older clientele in the main. There is no air conditioning but the rooms have fans provided. The room was very comfortable I had a sea view. Only downside was the hairdryer which was in effective. The food is good and the service excellent. All staff were helpful and courteous particularly the staff at breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay there again if in the area less

Stayed before at this hotel. This time with granddaughter. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Large bathroom and we all enjoyed the breakfast. Will continue to use this hotel when staying at Eastbourne. less

Great staff and good service only downside was no parking at hotel, however when we did get parked next to hotel it was only a £1.00 a day. Food was good and breakfast was great. Staff were extremely polite and helpful nothing to much trouble. less

The hotel is located directly at the promenade approximately 1 km from the pier. Parking is available along the street. The hotel rooms and the bathrooms are very old and need a refurbishment. Hotel staff is very nice and friendly. Restaurant is good for dinner. The breakfast buffet has not a lot of choices and for example honey is not available and we had during our stay only strawberry and orange marmalade. The hotel is too expensive for the old rooms and the breakfast. less
