Having read quite a mixture of reviews for this Hotel we were pleasantly surprised by our three night stay at the Eastbourne Riviera. We were greeted most warmly and were able to go straight to our sea view room which was immaculate and in good order.Would suggest that as the mini bar service is no longer available it might be...

I had pretty low expectations of a seaside guest house in December and this establishment did nothing to counter this. We arrived for our one night stay in torrential rain with a lot of luggage as we were travelling for one month in total. The lady who checked us in was pleasant but I was annoyed that she insisted I... More

Just spent 2 nights at this hotel. We were very disappointed. The reception and dining areas both look like they have been recently refurbished. But our room was very shabby. The linen was clean as was the bathroom. The room needed painting, wardrobe door broken, curtain hanging off rail, mattress dreadful. Breakfast was ok but on the Saturday night when... More

This was the first time my son and I have stayed away without his mother, so I chose this hotel after reading some positive feedback. Overall, it was a very positive experience! Twin room was perfect with a fair sized flat screen TV on the wall, good selection of tea and coffee and a clean comfortable bed. Nice decor throughout,... More

The eating area was bright, cheery, and... More

Great hotel close to the town centre for shopping and right on the sea front. Exceptional breakfast both the mornings of our stay and staff very attentive to our children. Parking was available on sea front and a bargain in comparison with Manchester.

We stayed in this hotel during the summer of 2012. The rooms where quite nice, very clean. The staff where also very helpful. The staff tend to be from various countries, not many English. But perhaps they actually are better than us in the service industry. Certainly very helpful and polite at this hotel.

We spent 3 nights at the Riviera. The weather was incredibly cold for March but the hotel was warm as toast! The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly and I can recommend the breakfast. No-one need leave hungry in the morning. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a lovely sea view and had 2 comfortable chairs... More
