A Mixed Bag
Positives: - A very inviting reception area. - Impressive guest lounges with comfortable seating. - Central location on seafront. - Helpful and attentive staff. - Spacious corridors. - Well decorated and clean bathroom. - Comfortable bed, giving quite a good night's sleep. Negatives: - Poor lighting in room - bizarrely, the ceiling had been lowered so that strip lighting was hidden away at the edge of the room and virtually ineffective; the only other light was a desk lamp, which hardly gave any light to the room itself. - More attention needs to be paid to cleaning carpet around bed. - The room was located directly above what appears to be the ventilation for the kitchen. This came on at 6.30am and then again in the evening; even with secondary glazing, it caused some disturbance. - Disturbance from creaky floorboards of room above. - No wi-fi (totally unacceptable). - Poor selection of Freeview channels on TV. - A little 'tight' with toilet paper and tubes of shower gel & shampoo.

Our sea view room was exceptional. There was no servicing of rooms and we had to ask at reception for towels tea coffee and bring them up to our room. We were told no housekeeping staff were coming into our room during our three night stay.

Balcony room - window did not open. Beds were really uncomfortable Very noticeable damp patches in the room and around the hotel. It’s very beautiful but the owner needs to upkeep it as it’s falling down in parts. Was a lot more pricier than the Burlington and I’d say I prefer them.

Stayed in a single room. Spacious and had a mini fridge, which was excellent as I could get fresh milk for my tea and coffee and also keep snacks and chocolate cold in the hot weather. It was greatly appreciated.

Get there at 2:30 told to come back at 3 without even checking if room was ready. Room was rank, smelly and very very old. Bathroom ok. Furniture rotten. Didn’t want to look at the very soft mattress. They tried to upgrade me for £15 and took £8 for parking. Location ok. Needs a major upgrade all round. Carpets dirty, rubbish and dirty mirrors in lift etc. just not nice at all.

The Cavendish is a perfectly decent hotel. I Think it has previously had a poor reputation, but various family members and i have stayed there several times over the last couple of years and have never had any complaints. It's also very good value for money, possibly because of the previous reputation. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good value stay in Eastbourne.
