Had to hand over my credit card for a security deposit that wasn’t mentioned, woman took the details down and 3 days later my card has been fraudulently used in Australia. Seems far too much of a coincidence

Lovely welcoming, just be aware of the parking situation it’s not “on site” but street parking which is metered 👍

Lovely clean hotel. The hostess was really helpful and nice. Only bad thing was parking, you have to pay before 6pm and after 9am and theres not many spaces.

Second year we’ve stayed here. Great place, clean and a very pleasant and helpful lady greets you.

Pros:
* The Manager was very friendly and made sure she was present for check-in and any follow-up questions.
* Handy location close to town.
* Free on-street parking between 6pm - 9am.
* Complimentary tea/coffee and milk that was topped up every day.
* TV and Wifi.
* Room was tidied during the morning.
* Fan available.
Cons:
* Walls were thin so I could hear my neighbour's TV late into the night.
* The shared bathroom had a damaged light/fan switch which was very difficult to turn on.
* The details on the website about on-street parking needed to be updated.
* No bar fridge.
* The wifi password wasn't written down anywhere.
* I had to log into my own Netflix and Prime accounts on the TV rather than it being provided by the hotel.

Communication not great: nobody answered the landline when we tried calling beforehand to find out about check-in time and the mobile was answered by someone who doesn’t work there anymore. Room was en-suite, but bathroom was tiny.

A very clean, well-lighted room, with tea and coffee facilities. Five minute walk to the railway station, and close pubs, restaurants & the Hastings Old Town
10.0
Just a little gem of a guest house,host was accommodating with earlier check-in and leaving our bags there before we did check in.
We had room no 5 with a queen bed and single with en suite and tea coffee facilities and a fridge as well.Really couldn't find any faults at all,we only had an overnight stay but would definitely return

I had booked a room months in advance but was only informed that there was a problem with my payment card and my room was no longer available 2 days before my arrival date, this after verifying that my room was booked and that i pay on arrival months earlier.

Good location near the beach and many cafes and restaurants. Clean and warm welcome.
Website needs updating to say no breakfast available and free parking limited up a hill under trees (had to take car to car wash due to bird droppings)
Only problem bathroom sink really small

This property is not as advertised.
Parking at multi story carpark nearby was £30.00, an unexpected additional cost.
Karaoke entertainment is advertised and does not take place.
No housekeeping as in made beds etc and we had to ask to clean towels.

Lovely room with a separate, private bathroom.
There is a sink, fridge and kettle in the room which is handy.
Location is a very short walk from the station and it only took 10/15 minutes to walk to the Old Town.
I also want to mention the proprietor / manager is very friendly and helpful.Would definitely recommend.
10.0
Very cute and quiet B&B, though on a road which at the weekend can get loud, depending on amount of drunken idiots in the area. But really, mostly quiet.
Would help if the windows were double glazed - it would keep both the noise and the cold out. As it were, we went in November and whilst it was mild outside, the heating in the room only worked for a few hours and then for some reason didn't. It wasn't cold enough in the room to bring this up with staff so I've no idea why this happened.
Otherwise, the staff was lovely, the room (and the bathroom) was good-size, clean and up-to-date, with a mini fridge and a large TV, a radio and a kettle with all the paraphrenalia to make your own tea/coffee.
Just know, if you're looking to come with a big suitcase, good luck lugging it up the tiny stairs. It's very tight and you will struggle.
Last but not least, parking can be found on the street, though is only allowed between 6pm and 8am Mo-Sa (at the time of writing) so if you're looking to leave your car somewhere outside these times, there's a car park at the top of the street which costs around £8 for 24hrs (though it gets locked after 11pm) so not too bad.
Had a lovely weekend stay though so thanks to the staff :)

Advertised with free parking.. this was street parking if you could find a space which then became no parking at 08:00 in the morning. Alternatively could park in multi storey park 5 mins away but this was locked throughout the night so no access should it be required. No breakfast facility - due to Covid(?) - available but could use cafe ‘round the corner, even though board at front of guest house stated breakfast available. Unfortunately, this did not open until 08:00 by which time you had to have driven away due to parking restrictions or risk a fine.

I don't know why the hotel is including free parking when there is NO PARKING. Remove that on your advert.

A clean bright room in a central location. The receptionist showed real thoughtfulness in contacting us immediately about some glasses we had left behind

Nobody answered the door when we tried checking in, eventually someone appeared. The room looked fine initially but some of the blinds were missing slats so there was reduced privacy and tonnes of light streaming in early morning. There were ants in the room and nobody was around to talk to regarding this. We only stayed for one night and didn't want to waste time hanging around for someone to turn up. The bathroom door was stuff and the sink was tiny - like too small to even wash your hands properly. The room was unbearably hot and stuffy despite the windows being open (and it wasn't particularly hot weather wise). Self check out - so nobody to talk to about the blinds or the ants - contacted hotels.com regarding these issues and apparently they contacted the hotel who refused to do anything about it - if you have to stay here its not the end of the world but far from ideal - they also weren't wearing masks and it didn't feel very covid secure/extra precautions weren't taken. There are better places to stay for better value in Hastings

At first sight the property seemed OK. We expected to share a bathroom with other guests, but not five of them. The bathroom was around 1.5m x 0.5m and contained a standard toilet, a very small sink and a small shower.
Having used the shower when we arrived we walked around the town. On our return we were accosted by the manageress, who publicly and loudly berated us for leave the bathroom in an unreasonable condition (though we had not). The manageress pursued us up the stairs and continued to berate us.
After spending most of the nigh laying awake because of the bloody seagulls we both showered and we went out to find breakfast, since, despite it being advertised on the outside of the building (see the photo adjacent to this message) was not provided.
When we returned in the early afternoon we were again berated by the manageress, who chased us up the stairs to our bedroom door - the 'conversation' was undoubtedly audible to any other guests who were in the building. Again, it was the state of the bathroom that was at issue.
We packed and left.
Frankly, the manageress has no customer service skills and barely speaks English, I've not received a refund for the unused part of our holiday and have been incorrectly billed for a key which I left in the room.
I strongly advise others to find alternative accommodation.

The manageress was rude and vexatious. She seemed to think it was our responsibility to clean the bathroom - which was around 2m x 0.5m and was shared with three other guests.
Don't go there !

Room was a good aize for 2 people and nicely presented, only downside was the draft could be felt through the window's although im assuming this is down to old buildings but could pose an issue when it turns bitterly cold. Bathroom although very small had all you needed and very clean, shower was lovely and powerful as well which makes a nice change.
Tv was great for us as being Sept and the current climatic we are in we spent later in the evenings using it and having all the apps was an awesome bonus.
Bedding was lovely, soft and clean and relatively comfy (i struggle with mattresses anyway so my opinion wouldnt be a fair one but my friend made no negative comments towards it).
Senlac is about 5 mins walk down the hill to town where you will find an array of high street shops, further up is the seafront and George Street which if you have been to Brighton, is a bit like the lanes, just smaller, plenty of variety and places to eat. Travel in and around Hastings is easy via foot or bus very frequent service.
