I agree with some other reviews I read before we arrived about how tired the hotel was, I thought what do you expect with an old lady like the Cavendish. The room was big, single beds as requested, a 3 seater sofa, 2 arm chairs, chair and desk, chest of drawers and wardrobe (some hotels don’t even supply that), what luxury for us. The food was great both morning and evening, hot and appetising. I already had a discount on the price, but other discounts were offered which made all the difference. I had to take little doggie out through the night due to him having water tablets, this was no problem and everyone I met day or night were very polite and professional.

A low budget hotel with limited staff and facilities however the staff were helpful and friendly. The balcony access is through a sash window with dodgy high steps through. Only two pillows in a double occupancy room but I was informed, if I went down to reception you could get extra. Breakfast was do it yourself but it was hot and sufficient. Check out was 10.00 am by dropping the keys in.

Positives: - A very inviting reception area. - Impressive guest lounges with comfortable seating. - Central location on seafront. - Helpful and attentive staff. - Spacious corridors. - Well decorated and clean bathroom. - Comfortable bed, giving quite a good night's sleep. Negatives: - Poor lighting in room - bizarrely, the ceiling had been lowered so that strip lighting was hidden away at the edge of the room and virtually ineffective; the only other light was a desk lamp, which hardly gave any light to the room itself. - More attention needs to be paid to cleaning carpet around bed. - The room was located directly above what appears to be the ventilation for the kitchen. This came on at 6.30am and then again in the evening; even with secondary glazing, it caused some disturbance. - Disturbance from creaky floorboards of room above. - No wi-fi (totally unacceptable). - Poor selection of Freeview channels on TV. - A little 'tight' with toilet paper and tubes of shower gel & shampoo.

Amazing value and really comfortable room. Paid less for a windowless room but had two instead! Stayed a few times. Very central

Greatvhotel but cheap rooms are to hot

😋 Great location. A smart old fashioned hotel.

Stayed in a single room. Spacious and had a mini fridge, which was excellent as I could get fresh milk for my tea and coffee and also keep snacks and chocolate cold in the hot weather. It was greatly appreciated.

Get there at 2:30 told to come back at 3 without even checking if room was ready. Room was rank, smelly and very very old. Bathroom ok. Furniture rotten. Didn’t want to look at the very soft mattress. They tried to upgrade me for £15 and took £8 for parking. Location ok. Needs a major upgrade all round. Carpets dirty, rubbish and dirty mirrors in lift etc. just not nice at all.

The Cavendish is a perfectly decent hotel. I Think it has previously had a poor reputation, but various family members and i have stayed there several times over the last couple of years and have never had any complaints. It's also very good value for money, possibly because of the previous reputation. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good value stay in Eastbourne.

The room was really hot and no way of adjusting Outer windows in need of attention and bathroom grouting loose. Otherwise the room was clean and food good.

Property is a little dated, but obviously it was grand in it's prime. Friendly staff and very accommodating. Beautiful area and scenery. Hoe ever I don't suppose in this climate they have a spare couple of millions to get the place back to it's glorious prime and if I'm being honest I have stayed in much worse
