The Berkeley Guesthouse

The staff I met were really pleasant and helpful (finding somewhere nice to eat - the recommended place (Sabeidee Thai) was perfect), and just a 2 minute walk away. There's a nice lounge area to chill in, and free overnight parking a 2 minute stroll. Location is great, with the seafront a 3-4 minute walk away, and the pier a further 5 minutes. The room was compact, and fine for me, bed was very comfortable. I believe one can arrange for breakfast by prior notification, but I chose to go to a nearby café.

My room was at the very top of the house, which was perfect for me, but might be a struggle for those less mobile (no lift) - would opt to stay in it, again, as I like rooms high up, and it was facing forward, and was quiet.

Clean

Cold shower

booked single room, very happy, room was clean & comfortable

Reception only open certain hours

The room we had was fine, but perhaps a bit expensive for what it was - I guess that reflects high season in Eastbourne.

We were charged an additional £20 for arriving at 7.25, 25 minutes after the deadline of 7pm, due to heavy traffic during our journey from North Yorkshire. It's in the "small print" that this will happen if arrival is after 7pm, but is quite unusual in my experience for an arrival at a comparatively early time - so one to watch out for.

Location & cleanliness

Being on the top floor. Staff not around all the time & didn't find particularly helpful on checking my booking when I was having problems with booking.com website. Kept repeating as booking made via them had to go to them with any query.

Very nice guesthouse in a great location. Staff was professional and friendly. Room was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed. It's possible to get a parking permit at reception which costs £3 per day.

The bed was uncomfortable for us as the mattress was very soft but this won't be an issue for customers who prefer soft mattresses

Close to all amenities

We had booked bed and breakfast through booking.com, but the hotel was notified that it was room only. Very disappointed with booking.com!

Warmly welcomed to a lovely modern well furnished hotel. Room clean and comfortable. Many shops and cafe's within 5 minutes walk. Seaside 2 minutes walk.

No lift. Shower space quite compact.
