Oban Hotel

Eastbourne delights

I needed a hotel room at the last minute, so booked a deluxe room with balcony at the Oban. It all looked rather splendid online but later that evening I stumbled upon some of the reviews left by others and was horrified at reports of uncleanliness, disrepair and bed bug infestations. Brilliant I thought, but it was too late by now and there was no going back, so this would therefore be a grin and bear it job. It was dead easy to park along the seafront almost immediately opposite but a feeling of dread came over me as I approached the hotel entrance. I'd had an email to say we were in room 1

Take no notice of the poor reviews.

May need a little updating but was perfect for our requirements. Great view, lovely comfy mattress. Tea making facilities, nice hot shower and a balcony. Beautiful old building with a lot of original features. Unmanned but the staff member we did see was very polite. Help yourself area for extra toilet roll, tea and coffee etc… will definitely come again.

The Location

Very poor don’t recommend

Pros: The only thing I liked was that it had a radiator Cons: The bathroom was dirty, there was a hole in the bathroom ceiling, also the shower couldn’t open properly and the bath mat was moulded

Comfy Room

Great location to explore Eastbourne and the Coast. Comfy sleep both nights and cosy hotel room.
