The property was ok and the staff friendly. However the corridors and bedrooms were far too hot and there was no air conditioning available and a minimal window to ventilate so very uncomfortable to be in

Good convenient location. Clean well appointed rooms. Staff welcoming and very helpful.
Only issue is the room on the 2nd floor was unbearably warm and there was no way to manually control it. The staff provided a floor fan on our second night and moved us to an upper floor day 3 and 4. I would stay again but request a higher floor.

Nice hotel
Very nice room, clean, comfortable and staff was super nice and friendly. Location was perfect too. The only problem was the room was the room really really hot even though they provided 2 fans. We had to leave the window open all night which can get really loud outside on weekends which is understandable but we had no choice as it was too hot.

Great hotel for Hastings compare to other hotels but the bed and mattress is uncomfortable and room temperature can be tricky. Had to wake up few times to adjust the room temperature. Very clean room and super friendly staff however.

Lovely room and staff but very loud outside noise
Room was exceptionally clean and in lovely condition. Bed was comfortable but pillows were of a low quality not offering much neck support. Staff were friendly and efficient. Unfortunately our overall enjoyment was affected by the location of out room (a corner room facing the high street). The outside noise (bars, clubs, traffic) were very loud until 3.30am. If you can request a room on the other side of the corridor the noise should be less.

Staff lovely and friendly, the hotel is mainly clean and tidy. However couldn't get onto wifi a couple of the days and cooker wouldn't turn on or cut off on me half way. Also shower clogged up. The app for the laundry doesn't work for android so had to use my colleagues phone to be able to wash my clothes

A new hotel - I stayed on the 6th floor which was clearly brand new. The hotel was very clean and a pleasant stay overall. Some teething issues in that some of the appliances were not working (microwave) as they were brand new and not used before, but I am sure these will be ironed out in due course. No air conditioning though, and even though it was only an 18 degree day, it was very hot in the room. My room (suite) did not have a window, but a fan was provided which helped. Staff extremely helpful throughout.

Had to change rooms as there was a constant whirring noise.
Heavy dust in both rooms, light shades and cupboards.
Although the rest of the room was very clean.
I had to call staff as a half naked, drunken guest asleep in the communal room their clothing strewn along the corridor, fire extinguisher taken off the wall laying on the floor, staff couldn't get them into room so left the person snoring outside our door.
Why wasn't this picked up on security camera
The heat in the rooms was unbearable, although fans were supplied, unable to sleep with them operating.
Room was on the road so very noisy. Constant noise from the public till 4am.
So couldn't open the window to negate the heat.
The staff were excellent .
Having said that I wouldn't use again, and wouldn't recommend it.

Avoid
Let down by hotel and hotels.com. About 3 hours before arriving, we booked it! A last minute thing. There was nothing to state that the hotel had no water, so we booked the non-cancellation stay and arrived to fine we could not shower, run taps, wash hands, flush the toilet or cook properly. We were mis-sold our room as there was no warning and the email from reception to welcome us that arrived a day late also had no mention or warning. They put money over the customer experience and hid behind the cancellation policy to avoid giving our money back.
We had no choice but to stay and were given 6 bottles of water! The toilet situation was revolting and not being able to shower after an afternoon at the beach was also horrible.
Hotels.com said the hotel refused to refund us. I asked again and we got a 30% refund!
I would have come back to this hotel as the room was nice and it’s a convenient location, but that was dependent on the treating us better than they have. It’s not their fault a water main broke. Had I’d happened during our stay, I would have been ok, but charging someone in full a day after knowing the issue and not warning people upon booking is mis-selling and dishonest. Therefore I would warn you to avoid as their policy is money first, customer 2nd.

Do not stay here, terrible property
An absolute shambles, worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Got there and was greeted so off to a good start quickly followed by my room key not working, walked down to reception to get another one, had to be walked to my room so they could open the door for me still no key for my room, then had a knock on my door 30 minutes later with a new key for my room tested it and still did not work, waited another 30 minutes got another key and finally it worked. An hour of sitting around waiting for a key fob to be provided, chose this property as it looked very nice and like they had a decent clientele so thought I would get a good night sleep. Was woken up at 3am in the morning to loud TVs playing in other rooms, the walls are super thin you can hear other people's toilets flush, called the reception at 4am as wanted to make sure I wasn't being unfair but the noise didn't quieten down. Reception said they would investigate left it another hour and still loud TVs playing so hadn't been investigated or anything done at all. Finally I contacted reception again at about 5am I finally heard someone visit the room next to me. Silence at last, if you have any type of driving or important meeting or just something where you need a good night's sleep I would avoid this, had to end up staying in Birmingham as I was just too tired to continue driving so cost me extra money. Property wouldn't refund my stay or offer any kind of compensation at all. Never had such a bad experience.Do not recommend
