Be our guest at this charming, family-run, pet-friendly hotel in Eastbourne. The Best Western Lansdowne Hotel enjoys an excellent location on the seafront, with Beachy Head, the South Downs and Brighton all within easy reach. Boasting sea views that stretch across the south coast, it provides the perfect haven. Its traditional, cozy atmosphere will definitely appeal, while the seaside town itself has more than enough character to make your stay a memorable one. From your peaceful seafront hotel in Eastbourne, you'll have ample opportunity to explore this pretty part of the world. East Sussex boasts hidden gems such as Herstmonceux Castle and Battle Abbey, giving the culture vultures amongst our guests the chance to see something new (or old, as the case may be). While the Best Western Lansdowne Hotel itself has plenty to keep you amused, we’re sure you'll find a spot of sea fishing from the pier or a hike in the South Downs hard to resist. Our hotel guests also have access to 18 lock-up garages. Please obtain a parking voucher from the hotel reception.

Pros: The location is very good, right on the sea front with public parking on the roads around the hotel. My stay was off season, so the hotel was quiet, and we were actually discouraged from spending our money in the hotel! The comment from the eastern european staff member behind the bar/reception "I wouldn't recommend the beer, the pumps haven't been used for a while" made us decide to eat (and drink) elsewhere. He even gave us directions. However, the breakfast was very good and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The showers are also great.

We were given a room away from main part on third floor as the place was packed with very loud international students, so our room was quieter.
Had breakfast twice the staff cooked us vegetarian sausages to order. Plenty of food, pastries, toast, fruit, yoghurt, cooked items for English breakfast.
Lady who cleaned our room was very polite.
Parking permit was given to us for £1 a day, just put it on each evening to cover next day, worked well. You just have to find a space on the seafront as close as you can.
