Small room, terrible view.
The room was rather small for such an expensive hotel. I can understand that if you don't pay the extra for a sea view, you don't get a sea view. But the view from the room of a rather inspiring courtyard wasn't great.

The Grand Hotel Eastbourne
Exceptional hotel, going back in time with a Modern Twist & 5 star service. The warm welcome you get as soon as you walk through the entrance is very special. We had an afternoon tea, used the Spa facilities as well as a treatment. Special thanks to Alice who did my facial and massage and Tony from concierge who did a showed me around the hotel to help choose our room.

Thank you, Expedia for the Booking. The only reason we regret is that we lost 2 to 3 days because we booked through Expedia, but I guess that can’t be help.

Dated, damp and overpriced. This property does not align with other hotels that advertise themselves as ‘five stars’. Moderate your expectations before you stay.
