Majestic Hotel Eastbourne by Belvilla

Majestic Hotel Eastbourne by Belvilla

8/10 Good
"It looked like it was decorated in the 1990s and probably looked fantastic back then. It was dated and shabby. There was a feel of a horror film when we arrived. However, the breakfast was tasty. Staff were really helpful although for such a large place they had few staff. It was a bit lifeless with the bar not being open, we had to have a hot drink in our room. Unfortunately, the rooms were like saunas even with opening windows. Everything was clean but a bit run down. I think the price was reasonable for the experience and location. I would book again. Cheap and cheerful."

"Stayed for one night before leaving for an early start to Le Shuttle. Air con unit had broken so they offered to put a fan in the room. Would definitely stay here again before an early travel. Room was comfortable. I can't comment on food as we didn't eat there but If you don't fancy the food there then Harvester is just across the road. Very friendly staff. Would stay here again."

"It's a grand old building - and some of the public areas downstairs are nicely done, and look great. Big and spacious reception/foyer and bar area as well (Didn't use the restaurant). The room was a good size, and a decent price - but as wih many of these big, old properties, it's worn & tired. It was cleaned well, and plenty of space."
