Seafront location on busy road, so some people will prefer rear rooms. Bright and spacious room (4) with decent shower etc and a table and chairs. Parking is a challenge, but ok durng check-in period. Ideal for our short break.

Perfect for us, right on the water. A bit hot/stuffy (due to surrounding rooms radiators) but easily fixed by opening windows to get fresh sea breeze. Def would stay again, lady down stairs was helpful & their breakfast menu is amazing!!

The room came with ear plugs - because its incredibly noisey and should seriously come with a warning. This caused very bad night of intermittent sleep. As well as this they were unable to accomodate either early check-in or to take 2 bags for a couple of hours prior to check-in, or to offer a half hour later check-out. So basically the room do not offer the most essential experience of a good nights sleep.

Room was spotlessly clean and had a fabulous ocean view. There is traffic in front of the hotel so beware when booking if you are a light sleeper. There are rooms that do not face the street. Hotel does provide ear plugs and we slept just fine. Restaurant on site served great breakfast. Only suggestion I would make in the room we had (room 4) would be to see about switching the tv and stand with the dresser and mirror as when you lie in bed the tv was on the left as opposed to straight ahead which made it difficult to view. Also the mirrors in the room need to be raised so that everyone can use them. If you hung the mirror over the dresser longways then it would solve the problem. Just some thoughts. Thanks

We had an excellent stay at the Bank Hotel, our room was spotless with a fantastic sea view. The bed was huge and we had a great nights sleep, despite being on the main road there was no noise. The location of the hotel was also perfect, a few minutes walk downhill from the station and close to some great bars and restaurants. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating, I'll definitely be staying again.

This is one of those places where you yet what you pay for.
PROS:
*The location of the peoperty - beach front close to public transport, and is on the main street
*The staff are very welcoming
*They offered to clean the room
*You get 20% off on breakfast downstairs, and the food isn't terrible.
CONS:
*We reserved a room to accomodate 3. As it turns out, a room for 3 means you'll get 2 separate rooms with 1 single and a double/queen. To be fair, our family is the only one in that wing but we would've preferred to sleep all in one room as expected.
*Whilst I believe that the staff did their best to clean, the pillow cases, duvet, and bed sheet has traces of make up. It might be that the bleach isnt stront enough to remove make up stains, or perhaps the staff's make up touched the covers whilst doing the bed, but when you see make up traces, it makes you question whether they've replaced the sheets after every guest.
*Lastly, I think that the bed are quite springy.
As I said, I think that you do get what you pay for; but the saving grace of this property is the staff and location.

It is very central good location. Check before you book advertisement is missleading. I booked room 8 which state's 1queen bed and single room. When i arrived i as asked to pay a further £45:00 total of £279.00. The mattress is old no support whatsoever made a complaint she didn't seemed bothered!

This is a quaint old building that had all the amenities and a very accommodating staff, and it sits right across from the beach. The room was delightfully furnished with interesting decor - I would definitely come back here!

Staff were lovely. Breakfast was delicious. This hotel has no parking & if you’re driving this is a serious issue. Everywhere around only has 2 hour parking. There is a paid parking lot on a side street at the back, but it’s only for 4 hours.
After 6pm you can park until 8 AM, but then you have to move the car every 2 hours.
We stayed in room 11 which had a Seaview
It was very large and a huge comfortable king bed, with lovely bedding and a beautiful bathroom
It’s a bit noisy because it’s on the front, but they provide earplugs which is fab. Honestly, the sea view with the weather in England, isn’t anything special. It rained the whole visit whilst we were in Hastings, I’m sure if the sun was out it would be a whole different experience.
Overall, we had a nice visit at this hotel

We were given a top floor room. Both my husband and myself have mobility issues, but they refused to change our room. Room had nowhere to put clothes, had to live out of suitcase. The carpet was very dirty and had a dusty smell. Cold water tap in bathroom, ran very hot, so no cold water to drink. Room looked nice, but bed very bouncy and pillows lumpy. Wouldn't stay there again.

It was fine,but - I was in the area early, and they would not let me leave a ( very small) case there until I could check in.It actually states in the info in the room that they will store luggage before check in,or after check out.So I’m not sure why I couldn’t leave something,..they said there was “no room” - that’s clearly not true.And if it is true,then perhaps don’t tell people you can!
To be honest,I usually stay in other hotels in the area,and will probably stick to them in future.
The breakfast was nice though..

The breakfast offers were quite limited, and when I asked to swap one of the items on a already small breakfast, this was not possible, so I could not swap mushrooms for another hash brown or something like that which I thought was quite liberating as satisfaction in a rundown area is probably going to be there Best asset however something quite small like swapping an item seem to be quite a problem. Other than that the property was generally good, but I did find the rooms especially the bathroom a little bit dirty, not as clean as I would expect but the bedroom itself was good.
