Shisha Lounge in Hastings

absolutely yummy as always. Never disappoints. Highly recommend

MVP of my Saturday. Insanely quick service and tasty wings. See you again!

Croissant and scones good. Coffee ok. Would love a better range of cake. I don't get why dogs aren't allowed inside. Many other bakeries, both takeaway and eat in, appear not to have a problem with them, and given the narrow pavements outside, I'd rather the dogs weren't taking up the pathways.

Clean and comfortable enough. In need of some repairs and a refurbishment. All the staff were polite and friendly.

The Royal Victoria Hotel in St Leonard’s on Sea is a bit of a blast from the past, but in the best way! Yes, it’s got that faded glamour look—think vintage charm with a few miles on the clock. But at £130 for a huge suite complete with living room, bedroom, and bathroom, I’d call it a first-class 3-star that’s well worth the ticket. Our suite was spacious enough to stretch out like a transatlantic long-haul, with views over the sea that could rival any business class window seat. The bed? Very comfortable, with all the essentials on hand—nothing over the top, but everything you need for a pleasant stay. The decor might be a bit tired, but that almost adds to the charm, giving you the feeling you’ve stepped into another era. And let’s face it, sometimes a bit of nostalgia makes the experience. For what you pay, this hotel is pure value. Sure, it’s not a five-star luxury spot, but it’s a comfy, no-fuss option for those who appreciate a bit of character with their seafront views. After a long day of exploring Hastings, it was the perfect place to come back and relax. If you’re after glamour, maybe look elsewhere—but if you want a spacious, comfortable stay with a touch of history, the Royal Victoria offers a memorable layover by the sea.
