Breakfast let it down
When I first walked in I was so impressed, the hotel is very opulent and the staff are very welcoming, then you walk into the room that was very nice but a bit flat after the grandeur of the surroundings . The thing that let it down the most was the breakfast, we were a party of 14 celebrant nephews wedding, we all ordered and then waiting ages for any food to appear, when it did they had no idea who had ordered what and it was absolute chaos, my haddock was a least 5 minutes overcooked and my poached eggs were rock hard, most disappointing.

Worth the extra cost, a magical place.
Amazing hotel. You really feel special when you stay at the Grand in Eastbourne. Particular shout out to the front of house staff (concierge, porter, waiter at breakfast, waitresses at high tea) who went out of their way to look after us. The room was super comfortable, the bar and lounges are wonderfully elegant. Only watch out is that prices are not cheap, so if you are planning a few drinks in the bar, expect a 5* bill. Most important question, would we return? Without a hesitation, yes. Thank you to the staff at the hotel, my wife and I have added some wonderful memories as a result of your excellent work.
