New Wilmington Hotel

Nice place not far from the beach. Friendly staff.

We had one evening there and I have no complaints at all. The hotel is spotless, the staff are charming and helpful. The hotel is immediately behind the Grand Hotel, perfectly located two minutes from the seafront. Parking is good with a £2.50 permit available from the hotel. Rooms are sufficient, perfectly clean with a comfortable bed. The breakfast is absolutely decent. I only saw three different staff members but they work hard, are super polite and helpful and really a credit to the establishment. I can't recommend this hotel enough. On recent trips to Eastbourne we've worked our way up seafront hotels which are over priced and display a faded grandeur of their previous days. This hotel is different. It has a history, but the current management are doing an excellent job and it's half the price of a seafront hotel. Honestly, I can recommend it enough.

Nothing...spot on for the money we paid.

Room was stuffy

Close to the seafront and restaurants in Carlisle Road.

Shower screen was broken and looked like that had been the case for some time. As a consequence I spilled some water on the floor which I used a bathmat to mop up. I was very disappointed to find that the white mat was then filthy. The floor had obviously not been cleaned for some time. I did not enjoy being woken up early by the noisy kitchen ventilation system mounted on the wall outside. Breakfast was OK if you like a cooked breakfast otherwise the choice was limited to cereals, toast, yoghurt pots and a dozen apples. A tired hotel. Litter around the entrance.
