Hastings hotellia

Plussat: The staff were friendly and helpful. The room (yellow) was wonderful with really comfortable bed and bedding. Everything was spotlessly clean and the breakfasts were some of the best we have ever had. Extra touches like the cafetiere, chocolates and hot chocolate at night were much appreciated. The hotel is quiet and within walking distance (up quite a steep hill) of Hastings old town, which is well worth a visit. It has lovely views from the breakfast room and I assume two of the bedrooms. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Miinukset: It was a little strange that there was no door on the toilet and just a curtain between the bathroom and bedroom, albeit a lovely quality curtain (yellow room), however the bathroom was as lovely as the bedroom!

Plussat: A beautiful B&B, good quality furnishings, excellent provisions ie in room refreshments and probably the best breakfast we've had at a B&B, cooked by a very friendly staff member. Jason provided hot chocolate & marshmallows for when guests arrived back in the evening as well as a large bowl of jelly babies - brilliant! Would definitely recommend The White House. Although it's a bit of a walk into the old town we really liked it as we got lots of steps in and it was very quiet up on the hill. There are lots of good places to eat, we had great fish & chips at The Dolphin Inn - fish & chips Monday with peas, tartar sauce and a pint for £9.95! Other places we liked : Eat @ The Stade, The Green Cafe and The Goat Ledge on the prom, but there are many others we'd like to have tried. We really enjoyed our trip to Hastings and would definitely stay at The White House again.

Plussat: Lovely period property, cosy, warm, very welcoming host, tour of the property as we arrived, excellent personalised breakfast cooked and served with friendly efficiency and attention, lots of extra thoughtful extras available like hot chocolate and marshmallows in the lounge, fresh milk, hot water bottles, hand drawn map of the town, guidance on places to eat etc

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Lovely little place. Very clean. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff.

Plussat: Fantastic rooms very clean with great views. Would definitely stay again. Location very near old town.

Plussat: Amazing breakfast!

Plussat: This is a lovely property, loved the gardens and the space of the bedrooms.

Miinukset: The walk to dine for an evening meal is quite a challenge.

Plussat: The staff were friendly, polite, efficient and helpful. The bed was very comfortable, the room spacious and well laid out with lots of extra touches and the breakfast was first rate.

Plussat: location excellent in the old town Lovey people very welcoming couldn't do enough for you not just in our B&B but people in surrounding area reception on Telly not good but that's wasn't down to them..... Malcom welcomed our sister to join us for breakfast and nephew on our last day would stay there again if back in Hastings

Miinukset: weather at the beginning of our stay,.... had a job working out the radiator, yes Malcom we should have asked!!! not your fault ours!

Plussat: Everything ! Fantastic service, location, food, hosts, cleanliness and just the best boutique guest house ever ! 10 out of 10.

Miinukset: Nothing. Just perfect

Plussat: I loved The Laindons! From my first phone call with Ian through to our check-out (also with Ian) everything was absolutely spot-on. This was a last minute trip booked just about 2 days before our arrival and having not been to Hastings myself before I was hoping this would be a lovely treat for my boyfriend and I. Ian was flexible with our check-in time (we were going to do an 8 mile hike in Rye Harbour and not entirely sure how long it would take) and couldn't have been more welcoming upon our arrival. Our room (the Coral Room) was far more beautiful than the website photos communicate with thoughtful touches like ear plugs (for the morning seagulls) and dental kits (in case you forgot your toothbrush) along with an outstanding tea selection (Tea Pigs teabags!). Although the bathroom was on the small side and I felt slightly let down by the bog standard shower enclosure (in comparison to the luxurious room - it was a bit of a mismatch? A few subway tiles and better quality glass enclosure would do the trick.) the rainfall shower head had great water pressure which I always appreciate! The sitting room is open for all to use with coffee table books, board games and an honesty bar. My boyfriend and I brought back a bottle of wine after dinner out and were the only residents using the space. We sat for several hours talking before taking ourselves off to bed. Breakfast was delicious and once again, Ian's perfect hosting skills kicked in when, having overslept, we turned up ridiculously late in the morning (we said we'd be down for 09.00 but overslept and rocked up for 10.00). We got a gentle (deserved) ribbing from Ian for our late appearance and I knew that all was forgiven! The kitchen had run out of avocado (first world problems) so my boyfriend went off menu requesting a bacon sandwich instead and it was cheerfully accommodated.

Miinukset: The Bose Soundlink with iPod was a nice touch in the sitting room but the tunes could use updating. Or perhaps some cables to allow us to plug in our own phones/Spotify? But I'm only being nit-picky by saying this. I don't think I could have loved this place more! Next time I'd like to stay longer than one night...

Plussat: Amazing service, gorgeous comfortable room (yellow room), really friendly accomodating staff, fantastic breakfast. We will be going back.

Plussat: Unique, very atmospheric property. Hosts were very helpful but unobtrusive. Beds were very comfortable, deep baths for a comfortable soak and breakfast was delicious. Convenient location walking distance from beach and nice restaurants. Highly recommended

Plussat: The house is beautifully decorated, with many objects of art. Breakfast is super, the entourage very chique.

Miinukset: Minor detail, the bed was very small.

Plussat: Rakennus puutarhoineen ja viktoriaanisine sisustuksineen oli uskomattoman hieno. Tuntui siltä, että olisimme olleet aikamatkalla. Palvelu oli erinomaisen ystävällistä ja majoittaja heräsi sunnuntaina tekemään meille aamiaista jo kello seitsemäksi aikaisen lentomme vuoksi. Aamiainen oli erinomainen.

Plussat: Everything the owners have exceeded themselves food lovely very original like stepping back in time wonderful

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything! This place has wow factor. What these guys have done is quite simply amazing, the love they've put into it is felt everywhere you go. It really is quite remarkable what they have achieved. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, it feels happy, as if the house is exactly as it wants to be.... reunited with its old memories of way back when. There isn't a single detail left out, your eyes are constantly finding something else they haven't rested up in before. I fell in love with it, but even if it's not really your "thing" there is no way you won't be impressed. The entire place is spotless. Quite how that's managed when it's filled with so much is a mystery. But hats off to all who make sure it remains perfect. The garden is like a little piece of Heaven. On a nice day you could easily loose hours out there. As is with the inside, there is so much to look at on the outside too. I think one of the best bits for me was the quiet, the peace. It's not often now that life is ever truly quiet. Sitting in the sitting room drinking tea and eating delicious cake lounging on a very comfy sofa actually relaxing is quite special. There is nothing there to remind you of the stresses in your day to day lives. We were in the Old Nursery room, which was a very good size and as with the rest of the house was filled with all you'd expect from a place from that era. Seperate private bathroom with roll top bath was special too, I could have soaked in the tub for hours. Big towels and bath robes were supplied and very much appreciated. The breakfast room was set out beautifully, everything laid out on silver dishes, food was delicious and plentiful. It can always feel a bit awkward sharing breakfast with complete strangers, but we all had a chat and a laugh, so was very enjoyable. I realise I'm on my way to writing a novel here! But honestly there is just so much to say and we only stayed one night!

Miinukset: That we had to leave

Plussat: The whole experience was like staying in a museum.

Miinukset: The lighting in the bedroom was a little subdued. My wife had a problem finding enough light to do her make up.

Plussat: I loved our four poster bed, the rooms were so spacious, having a dressing room and bathroom separate was amazing! Amazing artifacts and history, every little detail makes the St.Benedict's so very unique.

Miinukset: There was nothing not to like.

Plussat: Charming, delightful house and garden, helpful & knowledgeable hosts & best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Have already recommended to friends.

Plussat: I've stayed at this hotel twice before and fall in love with it every time I stay, it is unique which makes it all the more special, from the warm greeting from the hosts, with tea served in royal crown derby china, the exquisitely furnished rooms to the delicious home cooked breakfasts - I'm already looking forward to my return visit

Miinukset: that I didn't stay there longer

Plussat: Amazing interiors! Amazing breakfast - all the tiniest details thought out including the old fashioned toast warmer

Miinukset: Maybe better light but then again that would have ruined the whole atmosphere

Plussat: Had an amazing weekend at number 46. Perfect location, close to everything we needed and parking right outside for the most part.

Miinukset: Room had everything we needed, was super clean and so quiet!

Plussat: Modern and very clean with some nice touches like providing hairdryer, iron and lots of information on local amenities Nice to have a coffee machine, teas etc for the morning as breakfast not included. Situated in great location - very close to shops, restaurant and seafront. Would highly recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing. All as we expected.

Plussat: Just fabulous!!!!

Plussat: Clean, modern and great location.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Miinukset: It could be better if they got a life.

Plussat: We liked everything about our stay it was tp marks down the line

Plussat: We we're surprised by being upgraded to a lovely sea view room

Plussat: Breakfast excellent for adults - 6year old did not really eat anything - suggest children eat free.

Miinukset: the fact that there was no lounge area where we could meet up and sit together and perhaps have tea. It would have been enhanced by a bar and restaurant facilities.

Plussat: Nice welcome upgrade from single to double room all very comfy

Miinukset: The telly wasn't working and one of the bedside lamps and lamp by kettle didn't work apart from That it was lovely

Plussat: Clean and fresh

Miinukset: No breakfast available on site. But a cafe close by

Plussat: Nice staff, lovely room, centrally located and excellant value for money. Altough there was a shared bathroon which is not unusual the bedroom was quite large, had a nice hand basin and the carpet looked new

Plussat: Did not have breakfast

Miinukset: Breakfast included would be better in price

Plussat: The location was brilliant and staff were so friendly.

Miinukset: The main thing I disliked was the shared bathroom and the walls were pretty thin

Plussat: Decent leisure centre, nice room.

Miinukset: Average food, limited choice. Coffee at breakfast like dish water. Very expensive!

Plussat: Lovely room, bar and lounge were both very comfortable as was the restaurant

Miinukset: No wheelchair access without going outside via garden path and in through bar

Plussat: Just so relaxing. The staff are all super kind. We come here to chill out. The spa, the bar and the rooms really are excellent. We’ve been a couple of times now and feel we can always guarantee a great time.

Miinukset: The bar food is great but the restaurant needs a little work to justify £95 for a meal for two. Absolutely not an issue though as we loved chilling in the bar.

Plussat: Great staff and comfortable rooms

Miinukset: Breakfast was cold room was cold as heating wasn't on rooms a little tired

Plussat: Lovely helpful & extremely friendly staff

Plussat: did not have breakfast there .The hotel was lovely and clean enjoyed the room very comfortable bed light and airy room ,lovely shower and bathroom lovely and clean .location very good near shopping area

Miinukset: liked everything nothing to complain about

Plussat: The location was great

Miinukset: The advert showed the seafront which leads one to believe the property is overlooking the sea, it should show the real street view. Miss advertising.

Plussat: The room was very clean and comfortable. Good shower with shampoo and shower gel dispensers. Fresh, fluffy towels. The landlady was very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The room was situated beside the main entrance so a bit noisy with people coming and going during the evening.

Plussat: Clean nice room Spacious room Ground floor as we ask Owner very helpful and recommend places To eat and do When arrived had a text from owner for the front door to let us in come and go as please Shower was good Had shower gel and hair shampoo Towels nice bed nice Had coffee and tea available in room All good

Miinukset: N / a

Plussat: Nice spacious room. Was given a ground floor room for my disabled partner despite no prior notification. Owner also found a second room for a friend at v short notice. Room price is for area average and worth the money.

Miinukset: Should have been a non slip mat in shower cubical. Wi fi code never worked. Friend had poor TV reception. The towels provided should have been bigger.

Miinukset: Waiting far too long to be served at dinner when a group of theatre going non-residents took priority over hotel guests. Had to ask a number of times to gain any improvement. Poor service.

Plussat: Staff were absolutely fantastic. Always smiling and nothing was too much for them. A real credit to such a young team. Especially the young man who unfortunately we did not get to say good bye too.

Miinukset: Only criticism we all had was there was not enough choice on the menu otherwise we would have eaten here all 3 nights

Plussat: Close to the theatre, amazing staff, cute room, brilliant view, dog friendly, near to centre, lots of restaurants and shops near by. Fantastic really

Miinukset: Beds were a little hard for me (my partner loved it).

Plussat: Clean and dog friendly

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike

Plussat: Staff room was nice loved shower

Miinukset: Not enough room in car park didn't like doors at the front found them old fashioned and would be hard to get wheel chair though s

Plussat: Lovely hotel with a perfect location for pier and theatre next door. Drinks a little expensive but staff all very welcoming and rooms nice and comfortable. Generally clean just a few little places need attention like inside windows.

Miinukset: Generally very happy, windows inside grubby. Drinks expensive.

Plussat: Good location,clean room,nice comfortable bed.

Plussat: Didn't have breakfast. But hotel central on sea front and close to many restaurants places of interest and town centre. It was also close to my family which is why I was there.

Miinukset: It was the place to stay overnight or for a few nights so nothing really.

Plussat: Loved the fact that the room had a bath, and the bed was really comfortable, would definitely go back.

Plussat: Good views from top floor. Great value for money in a central location

Miinukset: No face to face customer service other than at check in

Plussat: The view from the bedroom. The Host was pretty friendly.

Miinukset: Leaky ceiling and damp patches in carpet. No lift so not accessible to those with disabilities. Room change on arrival. Wifi not working. Not great value for money.

Plussat: Very comfy bed and bedroom in general, availability of parking and located in a very quiet neighborhood.

Miinukset: Out dated, traditional english style...

Plussat: Nice room, basic but fitted all needs. Lovely area.

Miinukset: My issue was poor heating. Room quite cold during entire stay.

Plussat: Friendly staff,parking ,lovely room.great on site restuarant and bar,breakfast

Miinukset: I liked it all

Plussat: Satff were very friendly and helpful. Location was good for us as our friends stay around the corner. Breakfast was good and plentful. very clean towels changed everyday would highly recommend Churchills to friends.

Plussat: It was really quiet. Bed really comfy.

Miinukset: Didn’t like that the shower was actually in the room. Didn’t have a separate bathroom. No privacy to shower and wash from anyone else in the room. So couldn’t shower whilst staying. This totally put me off from staying again.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Reception area

Plussat: We came down from Scotland for a family wedding it was nice us all being together.

Plussat: The only highlight of the stay was the welcome from a pregnant member of staff who was so helpful and polite. Also breakfast which was served by a very polite lady in a very welcoming restaurant.

Miinukset: The rooms were very dated and un clean. We had four rooms in total and in every one there was mould all around the windows, on the curtains and in the corners of the rooms. One of the rooms had a double bed which was rock hard and was difficult to sleep on. All the towels were torn and shredded and the bathroom floor was covered in dirt. There was a very rude male member of staff who would swear under his breath when I would ask for a drink from the bar. Shame the rooms haven’t got the same standard as the restaurant and reception.

Plussat: The hotel is in a relatively quiet location and only 10 minutes walk from the seafront. Very good breakfast. Although we didn't eat out, (We were attending a family function), there are lots of restaurants and pubs close by.

Miinukset: Nothing really.

Plussat: Perfect breakfast. Warm welcome and nice food. Our room had a descent size.

Miinukset: There was quite some noise. May be good to re-enforce the rules when guests arrive and not leave it to them to read.

Plussat: the breakfast was very good, the loction was right for us.

Plussat: Good large room. Nice staff. Easy access to town centre. On site free parking.

Miinukset: Can’t think of anything

Plussat: We needed a large room for one night so chose the family room. No lift, which didn’t bother us but might be an obstacle for others. Check in was easy, the room was clean, comfortable and spacious although the shower/toilet was very small considering the room is supposed to sleep five. Breakfast was good, breakfast room lovely, lady who served us very pleasant. Overall a good, cheap place to stay.

Miinukset: In the evening we asked about places to eat, we thought there was a private party going on but it turned out to be the night staff...plus I suppose friends and family all having a great time and not willing to give any. We eventually got someone to speak to us but he knew nothing of the area, spoke little English and told us everything was closed....in Hastings at 7:30 on a Saturday. We found somewhere.
