The Glastonbury Hotel

The hotel looks neat and tidy from the outside, although inside it is nothing special and it is a little worn around the edges. Certain things about the hotel are unappealing such as the mismatched furnishings, the tired-looking curtains and the hideous light fittings. However, the location is great and it is good value for the price you pay.

Rooms at the Glastonbury are basic and the decor feels a little dated. The 59 hotel rooms have comfortable beds, flatscreen televisions, tea and coffee making facilities and en suite bathrooms. Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available in common areas but not in the rooms.

The hotel has a lift but it is one of those old-fashioned lifts with a metal gate rather than proper doors.

The hotel also has a bar and restaurant, which serves traditional English food. It also features live entertainment as well as bingo every evening.

This hotel tends to attract a lot of guests on coach tours so it may not be your cup of tea if you’re travelling independently.

The Glastonbury Hotel is located on Royal Parade facing the seafront with the beach right across the road. It is located around midway between Eastbourne Pier and the Eastbourne Redoubt Fortress (around a six- to seven-minute walk to either) and it is around a six-minute walk to the town centre, 14 minutes to the Lifeboat Museum, 17 minutes to the Towner Art Gallery and the railway station is a 17-minute walk from the hotel.
