It’s a lovely hotel overall but the room was swelteringly hot. It was so unbearable neither of us slept well. I’ve noticed quite a few reviews have mentioned this, one even citing our room (122), so it really odd something the management needs to address.

I've been here a few times now for the afternoon tea, so this review is based on that. The service is always fast and the sandwiches and cakes are delicious. The room that the tea is served has really good air-conditioning so you never have to worry about being hot.

Whilst we did not stay at the hotel we parked on the main road directly outside the hotel. For a days parking it's £8.75. From here you can either take a short but steep zigzag path down to the beach of walk along the roadside path to the beach.

My mother and I visited for afternoon tea in the Conservatory during a heatwave. We were seated by someone with a bad attitude who looked like they rolled out of bed after a heavy night out. We were directed to a window table and were told we could move should it be too hot. We accepted the chance to move as it was far too hot seated in the window. Our server fumbled around moving the cutlery and crockery, one item dropped on the floor, a further 2 items dropped in front of me at the table. We opted not to have salmon sandwiches and welcome a tuna or prawn option, only to be given another ham. That’s 1 cucumber and 2 ham sandwiches, not good considering the price. We waited approx 30 mins for the food to arrive, the server noted our drinks still hadn’t arrived and apologised. A further 10 mins passed and the drinks finally arrived. Not good on a hot day. We weren’t checked on at all during our meal. All staff made every effort not to make eye contact. Our plates were not cleared when we finished, nor were we asked if everything was okay. 20 minutes passed with no staff in sight. I got fed up and we opted to leave. Thinking this was okay as I had booked using a gifted voucher. I was called later that evening by the server asking if I had paid for our visit! The cheek! Had they bothered to be present we wouldn’t have just upped and left, it turns out they needed a voucher code from me. Staff were unkept and scruffy, our server even had holes in her tights. Would not visit again.

I booked a family lunch at The Hydro to celebrate my mother's birthday. Everything was amazing and helped in creating precious memories. The staff were so friendly, attentive and professional, nothing was too much trouble. The table looked beautiful , the food was great and the pianist in the restaurant added to the lovely atmosphere and was happy to meet a request to play Happy Birthday. It was all perfect and a really enjoyable occasion for all. A week later my mother is still talking about it!

We were having coffee at The Hydro Hotel with a friend the other day and noticed that there was a Swing/Jazz Luncheon with Tom Fitzpatrick so decided to book it for the 3 of us. We are so pleased we did! From start to finish it was very well organised. We had to pre-order our food which obviously made sense for the kitchen and it was very slick how easily and efficiently each table's guests were served their various courses. All 3 of us were very pleased with our selection, and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. All of the staff were very attentive, efficient and friendly, and it was lovely to see many familiar faces from previous visits to the hotel amongst them. As part of the deal, a glass of wine (or soft drink) was included and this was served to us by Hannah which was a real treat for us as it's always great to interact with her. Tom Fitzpatrick was very good, had everybody singing along and we had a very enjoyable lunchtime. We even managed some dancing! We thought it was excellent value for money and look forward to coming back again for another event later in the year. Thanks to everybody at The Hydro for another lovely afternoon.

Good hotel, good hotel just outside of the city center in Eastbourne. Approx. 15 minutes walk. Very friendly staff. Wit had a spacious 2 bed room. The bathroom was good. But the fittings need to be refreshed in the future. But everything was very great and well maintained. As is often the case, breakfast has to be booked separately. And at £19 per person it's not exactly cheap. The afternoon tea at the Hydro is recommended. This is how you experience English culture.

Overall, it was.... fine. I would say it is a good three star hotel. Certainly didn't feel like a 4 star hotel. E.g. no robes, wouldn't let us take a bottle opener to our room, the steak was grissly and the sauce was basically water (when we noted this to the staff we never heard back), we had issues with our bath tap, no shower caps, no water glasses etc etc. The furnishings in the foyer and lounge area generally are very worn down looking and sad and the place can generally do with a renovation. Eastborne is known for its picturesque walks and when we asked the staff at the front desk for any tips for a 3 hour ish walk she said she didn't have an answer for us, giggled, and said she was the wrong person to ask as she didn't like walks. Here I was thinking she would be the right person to ask at the front desk of a 4 star hotel next to famous walking spots... silly me.

Met with friends for morning coffee and potentially light lunch at The Hydro last week and whilst the venue is very nice with views of the sea overall bitterly disappointed. Bacon sandwich ordered by friend served in what was obviously very very cheap white thin sliced bread, little or no butter/spread, bacon was apparently very salty and alot of fat on - didn't look at all appealing. I ordered a pot of tea (as couldn't be offered oat milk with coffee) and a toasted teacake which was served stone cold and completely tasteless and other friend had a coffee with a packet of 2 small ordinary biscuits. Friend did speak to Manager re: sandwich and he did take off the bill whilst pointing out he had not had any other complaints regarding foresaid. I concluded we all have different expectations and mine would be that for a 4 star hotel with a good reputation the quality of the food would be much higher, if not artisan bread at least a 'top' of the range supermarket brand but not a value range when paying £8.75. Likewise with the teacake - even Sainsburys/Tesco own brand better than what was served (£4.25) and 2 biscuits for £2.20. I regularly go out for morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and can honestly say there are lots of other nice places that serve much nicer fare and for a lot less £ Needless to say we didn't go on to order lunch and won't be returning customers.

Beware if you book this hotel if they have any functions on. Booked a (special to us)weekend here to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary as we had spent our Honeymoon here only to be told on the Saturday that we could not eat in the Crystal Dining room as it was party night! and would have to eat in the conservatory, and not at a time of our choice. Whilst this is nice for daytime lunch, being a very special occasion for us we wanted to eat in the main dining room. We were not notified when we booked or on the couple of occasions l had to ring to confirm things as my husband is disabled and l did explain how special this was to us. ( The general staff were very helpful towards us). Moral of this story is the individual bookings are obviously not as important as the big party bookings!

Went with a group of ladies for our annual Christmas lunch, we also went here in 2021. Last year was fine, but this year was not! The dining room was cold, there seemed to be cold air coming across our backs, and my feet were numb with cold. We were at the same hotel two weeks ago for a wake in the Garden Room, which was also freezing, and we needed to keep our coats on. I do feel for a 4* hotel this is not acceptable. The Christmas lunch was also very disappointing, the food was barely warm, the only hot part of my meal was the hot cup of tea at the end of the meal. I will not be going there again for any meal, coffee morning, or celebration, all very poor.

Husband and I went with friends; we're vegetarian (not vegan). The only veggie option on the menu was a nasty vegan effort--half of a tough aubergine, undercooked and unflavoured, with a couple of tiny bits of non-fresh-tasting potato and about six tiny pieces of green beans. No protein, no flavour, no skill in preparation. We struggled through it but it certainly wasn't worth the £60 bill (and we didn't have alcohol). The building and interior are gorgeous--like a Poirot film set--but the bad food means we won't be going back.

We were very disappointed overall. Two of us ordered cod & chips; the batter on the fish looked good, but was hard & chewy to eat & there were no vegetables (even just peas / mushy peas would have been good). The 'home made' pizza was very thick & soggy, my dessert (steamed sponge & custard) was dry / tasteless with tepid custard.  The hake & duck ordered was apparently tasty (the only meals out of the 6).  The gluten free cake was expensive for just a tiny Mr Kipling type cake) - as was the ice cream at £6.50! One of the waiters wore his face mask under his nose the whole time despite us mentioning it is not effective like that. Unfortunately I would not recommend the restaurant. It's a shame as the views are wonderful & the location is great for a stroll along the beach afterwards 😒

Decidí probar el Terrace at Hydro para un almuerzo ligero después de haber probado el Cooden Beach Hotel de 4 estrellas la semana pasada para el mismo refrigerio. Bastante decepcionado con la falta de menú de brillo en Hydro en comparación con Cooden Hotel. La calidad no es tan buena y los mismos precios y el servicio en Hydro fue muy lento como lo hemos encontrado antes con la falta de capacitación del personal. Tuve que pedir que nos tomaran nuestro pedido después de esperar 15 minutos. La ubicación es excelente y los jardines agradables en verano, pero las áreas comunes comunes de Hydro están muy anticuadas ahora. La limpieza de mesas debe ser más completa

Por 22 por cabeza para tres platos para un almuerzo dominical, este restaurante es absolutamente excelente.Vamos la mayoría de las semanas a tomar un café y un pastel por la mañana, pero pensamos que probaríamos el menú del almuerzo del domingo en el restaurante principal. ¡La clientela es, en general, bastante vieja! Encantador tener un pianista residente también. Algunos clásicos encantadores. El personal es eficiente (y tiene que ser con el número de personas involucradas sentadas a almorzar) y amable.Mucho para elegir del menú y tuvimos sopa y carne asada y un bistec encantador y algo del menú de 'fiambres' (que también vino con el lado de verduras). Porciones muy grandes. Todo muy bien preparado y presentado. Todo estaba caliente y eso incluía los platos. La tabla de quesos al final podría haber sido compartida entre dos personas, fue tan generoso. El budín de esponja también era enorme y con natillas caseras.Realmente no hay nada que criticar aquí. Tiene una calidad intemporal. Si no te gusta la carne, hay un plato de pescado o vegetariano. Algo para todos, creo.Todos lo disfrutamos enormemente.

We stayed at the Hydro Hotel recently and, having studied the Crystal Restaurant menu, decided to eat there rather than going out for dinner. We were very glad we did as it was the nicest food we have had in a hotel in a long time. The menu was not extensive but there was no difficulty finding suitable dishes to order. Each course was delicious and perfectly presented and we felt we could not have chosen better. The service was excellent too and by the end of our meal we were absolutely delighted we had decided to eat in!

Visité este encantador hotel ayer para un almuerzo familiar. Un montón de cómodas sillas y sofás para sentarse mientras toma algo antes del almuerzo. Fácil acceso para visitantes discapacitados desde el estacionamiento, y todo en un nivel dentro del restaurante. La mayoría de nosotros tuvimos el almuerzo de 3 platos, el rosbif era excelente. Uno de nuestro grupo era un diabético vegetariano, y preguntó si podía comer el asado, sin carne, ya que no estaba interesado en la opción vegetariana. El camarero fue a hablar con el chef, volvió y dijo que el chef le cocinaría algo diferente, lo cual hizo. Qué maravilloso servicio, muy buen personal en general, nada era demasiado problema. Definitivamente vendré aquí de nuevo.

A timeless restaurant located in the Hydro Hotel. 5 star service and cuisine. Highly recommended if you are staying in Eastbourne.

En nuestro grupo de cuatro, dos elegimos del menú del almuerzo diario y dos elegimos a la carta. Me decepcionó que mi ensalada de gambas y aguacate era sosa. Tenía ganas de mi bacalao y papas fritas (a la carta), este es un hotel de playa, pero cuando llegó sabía y se sentía como pescado congelado, ya que era insípido y glutinoso. Sin embargo, la masa estaba deliciosa. Las patatas fritas estaban bien preparadas pero no tenía sabor. Aquellos que eligieron el menú diario estaban muy contentos con sus comidas. Normalmente hubiera dado comentarios inmediatos, pero nuestros amigos estaban pagando la factura.

Llegamos el 30 de julio y nos registramos y nos llevaron a nuestra habitación, que teníamos vistas al mar y a Eastbourne, reservamos una cena en el restaurante de cristal. El excelente servicio de alojamiento y desayuno era bueno, luego cenamos el domingo por la noche en el bar. Vista a la bahía. Toda la fiesta fue un momento muy exitoso y agradable.Gracias por todo Sr. y Sra. C. T. Williams Otford Sevenoaks Kent

We live locally and often visit seafront hotels for tea. The Hydro is lovely. We sat in the gardens looking out over the sea. I had a wonderful, delicious, fresh, warm scone with jam, and tea. There was a cover to protect the food from the seagulls. Husband had a beer. The waiters were young and got everyone’s orders muddled up, which loses a point. Another point is lost to the tea, which was AWFUL. Cold, grey, not made with boiling water and it left a scum in the cup like that you get with coffee made with hot milk. Ugh. The point of going out for tea was rather lost. Beautiful place to sit though.

We have known the Hydro for about 30 years, not much has changed - good, that's why we go there. Sunday lunch is a return to days of white linen and silver service, and a general reminder of days past. Possibly not for the hungry, presentation comes before quantity - and in an age of carveries and obesity, jolly nice too.

So sad to write this as we have all loved going to lunch / dinner at the Hydro Hotel restaurant/ conservatory for years. We went for lunch on 27 June for my dad’s 86th birthday and although lunch was ok service was not great! I cannot believe our experience on 26 July my sandwich was served with moulding bread, we were unable to eat the chips as they were drenched in salt, we later found out that the 3 children’s meals had also been drenched in salt, we waited almost an hour to get 3 children’s ice creams this is appalling for a 4 star hotel! We waited ages for our table to be cleared during courses and even longer to get drinks and all of this is surprising considering the number of staff just hanging around by the bar area chatting! The staff working I would say at best were school children on work experience who didn’t know what they were doing and certainly not to the standard of a 4 star establishment! Definitely will not be going back any time soon!

Mi novia y yo salimos a tomar un café la mayoría de los miércoles, llevamos a un anciano, con problemas de movilidad esta vez. Decidimos sentarnos afuera, disfrutar del clima y las vistas al mar. Fui al mostrador, la chica al servicio dijo que teníamos que escoger una mesa y darle el número de la mesa, ella dijo que saldría conmigo y se encargaría de nuestro pedido. Se acercó a otra mesa y luego volvió a entrar. Decidí ir a buscarla, le di el número de la mesa, ella me dijo que tenías que pagar por adelantado si te sentabas afuera, por suerte, nuestro invitado mayor tenía dinero en efectivo, porque era lo suficientemente difícil para él salir allí en primer lugar. Visitamos dos veces, en junio y julio, nos sentamos en el conservatorio, varios empleados se reunieron, 2 jóvenes chiquillos en el mostrador, llamaron su atención, pero nadie vino a tomar nuestro pedido. Anteriormente, nos sentamos en el área del salón y alguien llegó bastante rápido para tomar nuestro pedido. No pude ver ningún letrero que indique que debe presentarse ante el cajero para hacer el pedido y el pedido, por lo que asumí que alguien habría terminado. Estas 2 ocasiones anteriores, no estaba ocupado. El cofe está bien, no es más caro que decir Costa, (¡en el que yo no entraría!), Pero el servicio es horrible, es un hotel antiguo y pintoresco, el salón es bastante oscuro, si tiene problemas de movilidad, está en una pendiente. pendiente, PERO si puede hacer eso, tiene hermosas vistas al mar.

A menu that allowed 1,2 or 3 course choices with a good selection in each; pleasant background music; good waiter service.all contributed to a good first evening for our reunion group that were staying in the hotel.

Breakfasts are excellent, except that the chef seems not to know about vegetarian sausages, which is unusual these days for a large hotel.

Highly recommend the Perch in Eastbourne! The food was great, the place was very clean and the staff were very friendly. I’d like to give credit where its due- Our table was served by a lady called Rosie and honestly, I can’t remember the last time I went somewhere and received such wonderful service. She was very cheerful and couldn’t do enough for us- it was so refreshing, so thank you!! I’ve already promised her we’ll be back and am very much looking forward to the next time already

Do not confuse this cafe with OLD TOWN CAFE which is about 100yds west in Church St. A cafe but with training facilities for disabled adults.

Great cafe, excellent customer service, very friendly. I had a bacon and egg sandwich 🥪, mug of tea whilst waiting for my car. Definitely will be going back when I'm in Eastbourne again. Thanks 👍
