"clean, comfortable and convenient"
We had a family room which was large enough to comfortably accommodate a large double bed and a sofa bed without feeling at all cramped. The room looked out onto a quiet square and had a sideways view of the seafront. We were able to park in the square without difficulty (parking permit supplied by hotel) and the location was perfect, a stone's throw from the seafront and just 10 minutes walk to the city centre. We would definitely stay here again. Read less
Likes:

Dislikes:
My daughter was most unimpressed by the absence of digital TV channels.

"Pleasant enough for just three nights"
Was glad I was only staying for 3 nights as although the staff were very helpful and friendly it would have been nice if the vacuum cleaner actually had done what it should have done before my arrival. Breakfasts were excellent plenty of choice served by prompt staff, nothing was too much trouble. Had 3 good nights sleep in a comfortable single bed, quiet and peaceful although quite a few people were staying. On departure member of staff willingly phoned for a taxi for me. Read less
Likes:
The breakfasts and the fact that they were not served up too early, plenty of choice. Freedom to come and go without restriction, had front door key.Wide choice of complementary drinks in room.
Dislikes:
The uncleanliness of my room (dirty floor, stained valance, thick dust on top of wardrobe, dirty shower room floor)tho sheets and towels were spotless. Shower was temperemental and not very powerful.

"Basic accomodation, good location, friendly service, could have been cheaper for Feb."
If you are not after luxury, this hotel was in a very good location for the sea front. Would suit a stag / hen party. Clean and warm, once the electric heater got going.... Read more

Likes:
Only 400 yards from our wedding venue up the road.
An easy drive to Beachy Head.
Dislikes:
Breakfast was not great. Soggy toast and a very greasy smell when coming to the breakfast room. The tables were not quickly turned around after other guests had finished.

The spacious public rooms offer an excellent art space for local professional artists while each bedroom features a guest artist. On the ground floor is the art space as well as a dining room, conference room conservatory and bar (with full licensed facilities). The rooms have all been refurbished and redecorated to a very high standard including single rooms, double rooms, executive rooms and family rooms. The rooms are all ensuite with complimentary luxury toiletries to make your stay more comfortable. Each room has a colour TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

The da Vinci is conveniently situated for a variety of local attractions including the new arts centre, theatres, shops and gardens as well as the beach with its sweeping seafront and three tier promenade. Eastbourne is a fantastic place to visit with the pier, dating back to the 1870s, complemented by Sovereign Harbour which has been turned into one of the most up to date marinas in Europe.The coastline is designated an area of outstanding beauty and the chalk cliffs of Beachy Head include a walkers route along the cliff tops. Close by are the charming villages of Alfriston, Wilmington & East Dean as well as Drusillas Zoo, Polegate Windmill, Michelham Priory, Pevensey Castle and Newhaven Fort.
