I booked a family room for our weekend trip. However, there was a wedding on Saturday night, and while the hotel did post a notice in the elevator about loud music until midnight, they assigned us a room on the 2nd floor—directly above the wedding venue. This seemed like the worst possible placement for a family with young children. A bit more consideration from the staff could have made a difference, like assigning us a room on a higher floor to minimise the noise.
Nice hotel, nice view facing the seafront (balcony room). Room was nice and quiet.
The room was clean and there was plenty of space for one person. Complimentary coffee, tea and toiletries etc.
Tv with lots of channels.
I left my bag with them on departure, the only downside was there wasn’t any secure storage and it was left by the reception desk so I just walked off with it when I returned later with no-one checking which was slightly concerning as I had assumed it would be safe and not left in an open & busy lobby.
A great hotel, with easy access to the beach. We stayed with a 10 month old baby during the weekend of the Beachy Head marathon - a great service. Great location too - just by the beach, there is a community sauna (not affiliated with the hotel) just across the road - perfect location
The View Hotel lived up to its name and offered me amazing views of the ocean, just what I needed for a writing weekend. The hotel scored highest for its service. The staff are exceptional in delivering a friendly and attentive service. The general spaces were well kept and very modern. My room was somewhat dated and the chairs uncomfortable - had to sit on my pillows but the bed was very comfortable so had a great nights sleep. There was nothing about this hotel that would stop me booking again and the excellent service would definitely lure me back!!
The hotel was very convenient for my trip as it was just round the corner from the theatre. Also had an excellent breakfast and room was very clean and comfy too. Staff very friendly and parking concession offered for parking on seafront.
We enjoyed our stay. Reception staff were efficient and helpful. Quiet room on the top floor. Breakfast was very good. Hotel convenient for the theatre. Would stay there again.
All staff were great except for man on reception when I checked in. Left a lot to be desired from the welcoming point of view. Apart from that all staff throughout were great. Terry on breakfast reception was exceptional.
Definitely staying again beautiful view to wake up too and very friendly staff.

Lovely stay as before.
Very nice stay as before at the View. Things like the tv remote wasn't working and the tv is very old. The decor is a bit tired but is clean and very comfortable.
We only stayed one night for the Congress theatre so very convenient. Breakfast should have been included for that price, it was a good breakfast considering how busy it was.
Right on the seafront and easy to walk to town and bus stops. Well worth the extra for the sea view - brilliant. I highly, highly recommend this hotel. Thank you to all the staff.
The hotel is amazing and I’ve been going to it for years! Staff are very friendly, helpful and wonderful. Hotel is always clean and the food is good. Highly recommend this hotel!!
