Didn’t get what we booked

Booked a superior triple room which should have had a separate sofa bed and partial sea view, was given a standard double room with a view of the theatre inland. The bathroom is so tiny you cannot comfortably dry yourself after showering without leaving the bathroom. Stayed two nights, no clean towels after first night, quilt had a urine stain, blinds dirty. We regularly visit Eastbourne, first and last stay here

I stayed at the Mowbray to see the Sussex Coast and Kent. The hotel proved to be a great choice. My room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. I had an easy walk to Eastbourne’s board walk, great local places to eat and a nice building btw.

6/10 Good

Problems with a parking space. Misunderstanding of the system with breakfast. There is no drinking water in the room. If any drink is left cold in the evening, it will be hot in the morning. The lack of a refrigerator, and the heat, are definitely tests. The room is hot, there is a poorly working fan. The shower cabin is not complete. Of the 2 doors, there is only one. Switch water and shower modes, periodically fail. On the positive side: cleanliness and order, cleaning in the rooms. Coffee is very tasty in the room.

Great option in Eastbourne

Great b&b option in Eastbourne. Roy was absolutely fantastic with the communication and the room was perfect for a weekend stay. Close to the seafront and very quiet.

Great short break

A lovely two night stay. In a great location, close to restaurants, pier and beach. Parking is great too. Breakfast is lovely as are the staff. Arrival instructions are very clear. Room was compact, although fine for us.

Ideally located for eating out and sea front strolls. Basic hotel , easy parking, good breakfast however the housekeeping in the rooms could be improved especially in the bathrooms, toilet brush disgraceful !! . Blinds also thick in dust and tv unwatchable as signal kept going.

6/10 Good

It’s very old fashion hotel, which I have prepared for that. The condition of the property is worst than I expect. The size of room is just like London. You probably could find something better if you book advance somewhere else in Eastbourne.

Not my first stay and it won't be the last

It was my 2nd stay in Mowbray. Very friendly and lovely hotel. I think I booked last available room, small single bed one. Even though it was very small, it was furnished in a way it was very convenient and comfortable for my short stay. Large windows give a spacey feeling. Small en-suite bathroom could use a little bit of renovation but everything was in working order so no issues there. Staff was super nice and accommodating. Great location, 3 minutes from the sea, 10 minutes walk from the train station

2/10 Poor

Cramped space and dirty bathroom

Not much space in the room or bathroom. Window was difficult to move. Worst part was bathroom. Mildew stains on ceiling and felt dirty. It really needs major updating. Glad we only had a 2 night stay. Would definitely not return.

Everything was self check in. You could make use of a bar in the lounge, but it was empty. Not even a bottle of water. The bed was too small in a tiny room. I almost didn’t fit on the toilet. I would never go there again.

4/10 Fair

Very disappointed. Wouldn’t recommend.

The location was great but that is the only good thing about The Mowbray. As soon as we entered the lobby there was a damp smell. No one to greet you or help with your bags etc. The bed was horrible, it was uncomfortable and the two mattresses that made up a double, constantly came apart with a sheet that didn’t fit properly. The duvet came out of the cover too. The room and bedding smelt of damp and the shower was dirty and mouldy. Glad we only stopped for the one night. We didn’t have breakfast, so can’t comment on that. If you find it difficult mobility wise, there are big steps up to the property and although there is a lift to the rooms, I’m not sure it went down to where the breakfast was being served and there were lots of steps down to it. I would not recommend The Mowbray and for the money I would have expected a lot more.

2/10 Poor

Rude and vitriolic

Roy, I presume the owner, is so rude it’s almost comical. I booked a suite for my son and I, and requested single beds placed as far apart as possible. On arrival, they were 4 inches apart, so we moved one of them to the other side of the room. It was on wheels so took a few seconds. The exposed carpet was filthy so we left the bed where it was in the morning to allow them to give it a rare vacuuming. Roy actually phoned me after we’d left to remonstrate..he was almost apoplectic that we had dared to move a bed! I’d like to know what award the ‘award winning breakfast’ has won? Maybe the most anaemic and unappealing sausage? Or perhaps an award for cramming the most tables in to a tiny basement breakfast room? To be fair I’ve had worst breakfasts but also many far better The hotel is tired and dated but the owner is incredible..I’m still feeling a bit stunned by his tirade
