“Hydro Hotel features views over the town and coast in a pleasant part of Eastbourne, furthermore, the hotel offers gardens and dining with local produce. However, some rooms are cramped and breakfast may be inconsistent. It's a grand old building that could benefit from some updates, but the location is hard to fault.”

The room was immaculate. I got the Double Room Sea View and it was HUGE. Free car parking existed on site, YES. The staff was friendly, SO helpful and very attentive.
The scrambled egg tasted like it had been kept for SOME time. I asked for tea and coffee, but never did get any toast. Our bathroom had a towel rack switched off, but the pipe was hot.
