3-star seafront hotel with spacious family studios on Eastbourne's promenade

Accommodations

Citrus Hotel Eastbourne by Compass Hospitality has 50 en-suite bedrooms, including deluxe sea view suites. The hotel offers fully equipped family studios with self-catering kitchenettes designed for large groups. These spacious rooms provide a practical base for families needing more than a standard hotel room.

Points of Interest

The hotel sits directly on Eastbourne's seafront, opposite Western Lawns and a short walk from Eastbourne Pier. Beachy Head, the expanse of white cliffs, is a 5-minute drive away, and Devonshire Park is within walking distance. Eastbourne Rail Station is less than a 15-minute walk from the hotel, offering easy rail access.

Services

The hotel has pet-friendly policies allowing dogs in designated areas, with pet bowls provided. An additional £20 per night fee applies for pets. This service caters specifically to pet owners traveling with dogs.

Amenities

The hotel has a games room and a shared lounge/TV area for guest recreation. 24-hour reception and security services, including CCTV in common areas and key card access, are in place. Express check-in/check-out and luggage storage are offered at the front desk.

“What stands out is the dedicated team, striving to ensure comfortable stays, even though first impressions might not be perfect because the entrance and hallway aren't great; however, rooms are spotlessly clean and well-appointed, which is appreciated. It's a solid choice, especially given its location near the beach and the value it represents, particularly during the off-season.”

Wonderful seafront stay

seafront stroll local tips free breakfast
The hotel's location near the seafront was a highlight for me. I found the stroll to town and the pier very convenient and enjoyable. Lewis helped me with my bags. He also provided useful tips about local dining options (that was a great help!). I was pleased to receive complimentary breakfast due to the hotel's recent reopening.
The sink in my room was draining a bit slowly.
