Hotels near St John's Church -The Evangelist, Saint Leonards

When we arrived we was asked to pay for the room in ful. We told the lady we had credit card but she said she wanted the £171 in cash and directed us to the nearest bank. I wasnt at all happy with this as the website says they accept credit/debit cards. This then ate into our spending allowance. I wasnt offerd a reciept & she had 2 days to oblige but this didnt come my way. In the room the very large window has no blind just curtains and is overlooked by other propertys but more so next doors court yard which often had a guy smoking out there. This meant we couldnt get undressed with out closing the curtains. This made the room dark & stuffy as it was very hot on the two days we was there. Our room carpet lead up to the ensuite floor tiles which had quite a big step which wasnt noticable & i stubbed my toe. I was in a great deal of pain. This needs addressing Asap before some one breaks there toes. To stop us doing this again or forgetting in the middle of the night we had to pad it with cushions. The check out was self service and you leave your key in the bedroom door. This i find very impersonable, there is no customer service hear & they are recieving alot of money for not alot in return. This is a shame as the room was very clean & the bed very comfortable. Based on our experience hear we wont return we will find some where with better service

It was a beautiful stay at Alexander. The room was nice and clean. Beautiful view of sea. Service was good.It was hot week when we visited, and there's no AC in room ,just had a little fan, and we had to open windows wide open that made a bit noisy at night. Breakfast was not on point, so don't include breakfast if you plan to visit. Near by so many other shops ,market and beach is on walking distance. It was all together nuce trip.

Beautiful hotel with spacious modern rooms, and huge grounds to explore, as well as a great spa and pool next door. Bannatyne's is a truly lovely resort in a great location, with amazing staff.

Quirky Georgian property, welcoming staff and pleasant location. Only an overnight stay but a first, a four poster bed ! It was cold weather, but the welcome was warm, with very welcoming log fires and plenty of seating for an evening stay.

We stayed here for 1 night on 25/2/23 as a couple. We were greeted by 2 staff, a male and a female, both were superb hosts. The room was called Beach, it smelt fabulous and was spotlessly clean, light and airy, a bit like staying with friends in many ways, bigger and brighter than your average hotel room, and all the better for it. Limited car parking at the rear is a real bonus, and inexpensive. There is a bar, but no food is served, and it is not always staffed, although there are contact numbers on reception should you need anyone. Breakfast can be found at many cafes nearby, and the Regent makes a great base to explore Rye, we will return.

Hotel stay was comfortable and excellent for a short stay. Hotel looks old and has an ancient lift, but overall is well maintained and the room is clean and great. Toilet may be a bit cramp and the shower head is leaking causing water to splash out from the bathtub and flood the toilet floor. Location is good as it faces directly to the sea and is 15 mins walk away from the train station. However, there was no bottled water provided and the kettle looks filthy with a white layer coated on it, but the staff was friendly and provided hot water upon request at the reception. Beside that, the overall stay was pleasant and the room is clean.

We were checked in for a two night stay and were given 3 rooms in total due to our horrific stay. The first room we were given was absolutely filthy! We requested a new room which we were given and only got worse from there. At 2:30 am we were woken up in discomfort and itchy, only to get up and investigate the bed and find multiple bed bugs across the bed and pillows. It was horrific!!!! The bites I have received were disgusting and what was even more upsetting and disappointment was the reaction of the staff. We were moved to another room at 3am and were told to complain to the day staff in the morning which we did. They only offered us a complimentary breakfast and 10% off our stay which was only £10.30. £10.30 after all we endured during our stay is laughable!!!! If only we could upload videos of the bed bugs we took, the pictures do not do it justice at all. NEVER EVER STAY AT THIS HOTEL. Especially if you value your peace, sanity and skin.

I recently stayed at Pearl & Pebbles Eastbourne in Eastbourne for one night and overall, it was a pleasant experience. Firstly, I must commend the lovely staff, although our interactions were minimal, their warmth and hospitality were evident. The room itself was clean and well-maintained, including the bathroom which was also fresh and tidy. However, my room was located right in front of the stairs on the second floor, which resulted in considerable noise disturbance until late at night, affecting my sleep quality. On a brighter note, the bed was comfortable, and the presence of a desk and chair was a practical addition, making it easier for me to catch up on some work. I particularly enjoyed the bathroom with its window, perfect for those who, like me, enjoy showering with a breeze of fresh air. Despite the compact size of the room, it was sufficient for a one-night stay. Moreover, having a kettle, coffee, and tea in the room was a delightful bonus, adding to the comfort and convenience of the stay. However, it was disappointing to find that the room lacked a safe, which would have added an extra layer of security for my belongings. In summary, while my stay at Pearl & Pebbles Eastbourne had its drawbacks, including noise issues and the absence of a safe, the cleanliness, comfort of the bed, practical amenities, and the friendly staff made it a generally positive experience for my short stay in Eastbourne.
