Shore View Hotel

It’s a simple no frills hotel. It had all that we needed, at an affordable price. The bar next door was very lively so if you are into love music it’s perfect to pop over or it might delay your sleep a bit. Lovely staff. Great location right by the pier.

Staff very friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Room Quirky in shape, great Seaviews. Hotel extremely cold in corridors and room. No bar or restaurant open, but breakfast good selection, choice of eggs and good friendly service. Great location, just need to warm the rooms!!

We booked last minute not knowing quite what to expect The location is really good with parking reasonably priced opposite the hotel. The hotel is a Victorian building which does not look that great but the inside is much better . We had a 1st floor room & it was quite spacious , clean & had everything you might need such as kettle , coffee , tea , ironing board & iron & TV . Only 2 pillows per bed was the only slight issue along with the loud music from the pub opposite. The hotel also has a bar & does evening food The buffet breakfast although basic included cereals , cheese & salami , fruit juices & of course a full English. The staff were polite & helpful and overall great value for money .

Excellent hotel for the good value price and the staff are great. Buffet style breakfast with full English included and now they do evening meals too. All you need in one hotel for a great stay. Highly recommend. If needed they have accessible rooms for disabled folk.

The Shore View is a bit of a mixed bag: on the one hand, it's location is a good one right on Marine Parade with sea views and a short walk to the Victorian Pier, the Redoubt ruins, and the very lovely centre of Eastbourne with it's shops, amenities and restaurants. Tea-making facilities were available in rooms which was a bonus. And I must mention the staff present were exceptionally polite and reception was friendly and efficient. The hotel is also housed in a gorgeous historic Victorian building but with sadly now-faded glamour. It would take a lot of funds to return it to it's former glory and because of the upkeep it does appear the hotel is struggling with some other aspects of it's offering: the rooms are a decent size but quite dated, some of the linens could have been replaced as showing signs of wear, and - whilst appreciating the hot breakfast offer - the food was not of the best quality: cheaper-brand sausages and mushrooms that appeared to come from a can/tin, not freshly prepared. Coffee was instant, husband was NOT a fan, and customers had to ask for their bread which was handed to them from a tray behind the counter or toasted according to their wishes which took some time. It all felt a bit like necessary cut-backs to keep the place going... All in all, it was ok for a stopover for one night: our family of four had two doubles on the same floor, separated by a little corridor so fairly close together. The rooms were similar, one had a side-sea view but also faced the local pub which then went on to have a Saturday club-night keeping my husband and son awake for quite a while; my room had a larger bathroom but lacked any view which consisted of the back yard and bins of another building, the emptying of which elicited a loud conversation in the morning hours between what I presume were some of the neighbours (?), a shame. We also noted there was a lack of pillows in both rooms, only one flat pillow per person, which we found odd!
