Terrible stay - would not recommend
Hotel is very tired and in desperate need of a make over. Room was cold and noisy. reception tried to make it work and then left without addressing it. Pillows are horrible- unless if you like firm or extra firm pillows. The room, bathroom and overall decor just looks dated. Don’t trust the photos,

A budget hotel really. You get what you pay for. Lift wasnt working. I had booked a sea view and was at the back of the hotel. The decor was a bit drab but for £105 for 2 nights, cant really complain. Although a vending machine in the reception area for food and drink was unusual.

Lovely staff and bed was comfy. Excellent position by the sea and near lovely Little Italy area. Downsides: sheets needed a higher temp wash or to be replaced (stains) and bathroom bin was full from the last guests. Lift broke too, but stairs were fine for us. For the price, we had a comfortable stay.

First of all the important things- the staff went over and above at every turn and I would say faultless, the location couldn’t be better, you are literally on the sea front in the most beautiful part of Eastbourne, and the beds were very comfortable and bedding was spotless. However if you are looking for a beautifully decorated and lovely hotel, the Citrus is not for you. The rooms are nothing like they are on the website. I have never stayed in a backpackers hostel but if I did, I imagine it would look like this. Our room had cracked walls and peeling paint everywhere, the lift was like a death trap and even the staff said don’t use it. Breakfast was ok for a continental. Having said all that, for what I paid and for the superb location, I probably would stay here again but I would ask for one of the rooms which has been redecorated since it was housing those who shall remain nameless.

For the price that we paid for two nights - really can’t complain! Spacious room, 2 big mirrors. Decent size bed. Plenty of storage space. Friendly staff. Drinks and snacks available for purchase at reception. Great size TV in the room. Mirror in the bathroom would be nice! Didn’t need to use the hairdryer but tested it and sounded really powerful. Could do with a couple of sockets next to the bed. We asked for a quieter room, were given a room on the 3rd floor and I’d say it was quiet. narrow lifts so don’t think it’d be too comfortable with the luggage but plenty of space for two people. Would stay here again if we were going back to the area. Great value for money.
