OYO Marine Parade Hotel, Eastbourne Pier

Hotel was cheap. Not that bad as reviews on the other website but also not great. Location is amazing and sea view stunning. In the room - bit tired looking carpets, doors for toilet was broken as well as chest of drawers. There was TV but mostly not working. Bed was comfortable. We did not use towels as they have been stinks a bit. Shame the advert says hotel have parking but it haven't. Anyway for that money and nice weather outside and not that long spend inside it was not bad.

I booked a two-night stay for convenience, expecting a basic but safe place to rest. Upon arriving at 9 PM, we waited 15 minutes for someone to let us in. The hallway and corridors smelled of *****, and there were loud noises and arguments, creating an unsafe atmosphere. We left immediately, as I didn't feel safe for myself and my daughter. Despite notifying the hotel, they refused a refund, claiming there was nothing wrong when they checked. This lack of concern for guest safety and satisfaction is unacceptable. I strongly advise avoiding this place, especially for families.

It was exactly as advertised. Basic no frills and some areas tatty but everything you needed. Clean crisp bedding and very comfy bed. Tea/coffee facilities. Fantastic shower. Decent TV and free WiFi. Lovely seaview and excellent location. Such great value for money 😀And the most enjoyable part was the guy at reception (Yosef?) very pleasant, was always there if needed and sorted out any queries immediately and couldn't be more attentive. Thank you. I will definitely be returning 👍

I’m in Eastbourne for while always travel regularly regarding business. I stayed in room number 26 smell like sewer it will better to sleep on the road I never in my stayed in the room with so strong smelly room, and there is no water pressure in the bathroom. I don’t recommend this hotel. If you like the smell of sewer try to book room number 26.

Pros- it’s close to the beach and town centre. - it’s next to a nice pub that does nice food and just down the road from the pier. -it’s fairly clean for a 2 star hotel. (Which made our stay much smoother) -wonderful view of the beach/sea -tea and coffee provided in the room. -TV is a bonus considering star rating. -bathroom is clean. Cons - decoration is outdated. -bad design of the en suite as the windows at the top lights up the bedroom in the middle of the night when you switch the light on. -no blackout curtains so very bright in the morning. - mattress is uncomfortable, felt every spring and when you sit on the bed you can feel the base board through as it’s so thin. -water stopped in the shower multiple times while only using it for a couple of minutes. It does eventually come back on but more of an inconvenience. I would say it’s an affordable hotel, you get what you pay for and it’s clean!

Checked in and was greeted by a very helpful and friendly Adel who kindly gave us a very nice room which is clean and bright and Ruth who rung to ask for feedback. I would give 5 stars for their service but 1 star for the hotel itself for reasons below. Unfortunately, the water stops for quite a while during my showers (up to 3 times on one occasion) which is not nice when covered in shampoo not knowing if it will come on again! It also makes a loud whirling noise like a helicopter outside when in the bedroom. The bed is very soft and there are some not nice smells in the corridors. The reception is unmanned most of the time so expect to wait outside on arrival to be let in or if you need a receptionist. Apart from that, the hotel is well located a few minutes from the pier and 10 minutes walk to the town centre. Overall the hotel needs redecorating inside and out. Hopefully the management will do this soon. The great plus in staying in Eastbourne unlike Brighton and other seaside towns are the free parking everywhere within 5-10 minutes walk to the town centre and pier / seaside.
