A comfortable night's sleep...in a clean en suite room...with tea & coffee facilities and a TV. The Continental Breakfast was quite adequate...and the staff helpful. What more could one want for a brief stay? More

Hotel was very good value, beautiful sea view from our room (top floor) - we managed to get the room changed to one with sea view. Room design was pretty cool, I liked the blue faux-fur curtains :-) Unfortunately the heating in our bathroom didn't work and it was very cold. The shower was very difficult to regulate, it was...

The location is great, right on the seafront, and only a few minutes walk to the pier, the shops and theatres. I booked a double room and did not know what to expect when getting there. However, I as pleasantly surprised - it was very big with an en-suite bathroom. Although the furnishings were fairly basic, everything needed was there,... More

I booked a weekend wanting a cheap and relaxing weekend away. I am so glad that I did not let the reviews put me off. The hotel is in a great location, overlooking the beach. You can see that it is an old faded hotel that has been 'pepped' up with modern design, fresh paint and new bathrooms. It was... More

The Big Sleep is certainly very much in your face with its whacky design and zany furniture but it certainly lives up to its name. The location on the seafront is perfection and who can resist the temptation for a quick stroll along the sloping beach. It was particular nostalgic for me because my newly wed parents stayed nearby in... More

29 pounds in the seafront is a great bargain. The rooms are weird... the courtains... the Ikea furniture, the strange reception. But you sleep well and that's it. Now, the breakfast is lousy. You arrive there early and you think you are too early... you arrive late and you think you that breakfast is over. Bread, boiled eggs, coffee, juice,... More

Stayed at this budget hotel for one night when attending a friends wedding reception. They say that first impressions are important perhaps someone ought to mention this to the owners because the first steps into the building are not impressive. The shabby looking carpet and stairs up to the reception set a tone which is less than desirable. The friendliness... More

Although we, (oap's), live in Seaford some 9 miles from Eastbourne we do like to get away in a B&B somewhere locally for a weekend. Our cousins of similar circumstances told us about The Big Sleep in Eastbourne so we booked in for a weekend. Well we were very pleasantly surprised, not only were we looking out over the sea...

We recently decided to have a short break in Eastbourne(more a long weekend), having visited in the summer and staying in one of the more traditional hotels we now decided on the recommendation of friends to try the 'Big Sleep'. On arrival we were met by 2 staff at reception who were both really friendly and took time out to... More
