I love this place. I first went for a work function and returned with my family for a one-night break. Service was impeccable, the room was enormous and they were even able to organise a babysitter for my young child to give me and my husband a much-needed few hours off. The best bit was the baby-sized bath robe! We're... More

I have just spent 3 nights with my fiance and our 2 dogs at The Grand and consider ourselves fortunate to experience a wonderful hotel,exceptional service, top quality food all within 100 metres of the sea! The Grand combines old world charm and courtesy with modern day efficiency. The value for money is exceptional, we have already booked another short... More

I was lucky enough to be whisked away to The Grand for a 24th birthday surprise by a very special person. Whilst The Grand may be oldly worldy in some senses it was perfect for a gentle romantic break... We had fantastic friendly service that was helpful and accomodating at all times (I was on crutches with a broken foot).... More

We visited the Grand Hotel for a formal dinner dance and arranged to stay the night of the function. We were delighted to be looked after so well as hotel guests and as guests of the function also. Attention to detail and service was excellent. We shall look forward to repeating the experience another time. More

The Grand in Eastbourne is an iconic five star British hotel no doubt. The architecture and location in Meads (the posh bit!) sets it apart from just about all other Hotels (including those in Brighton) and it exudes an air of what was once great about Britain - a kind of understated class and efortless ease. Whilst the kitchens would... More

What was obviously once the Queen of the town has fallen on harder times. The bones are still good, but the hotel is a bit down at the heels and faded. From a distance still beautiful, but up close, not so much. High tea is still wonderful. More

I went for a last minute spa day with a friend on 30th December, 2011 and it was one of the few places that still had availability. We thought it would be busy, however a lot of the time we had the facilities to ourselves. The pool was smaller than I thought it would be, however the jacuzzi, sauna and... More

I took my Mum for lunch at the Grand a few days ago. We had to pay £7.50 each in supplements on top of a charge of £19 each for a 2 course meal, as we ordered lamb cutlets. What was served was 2 minute pieces of chewy meat, with about one mouthful on each chop. The vegetables were also... More
