Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The New England provides a memorable experience with its spotlessly clean and spacious rooms, some featuring balconies with lovely sea views, situated conveniently close to the seafront, pier, town centre, and Beachy Head. Guests commonly enjoy the delicious breakfast, often described as a 10/10 experience, served in a room overlooking the sea. The hotel provides thoughtful touches such as complimentary toiletries and soft, fluffy bath towels. While most find street parking manageable, some guests have noted the potential for noise from the nearby road.

i found the staff very efficient and friendly. i received an upgraded room. it featured sea views and a larger space. the breakfast was excellent and high quality. the breakfast area overlooks the beach.

the hotel lacks its own car park. this meant i parked on one of the streets behind the hotel (it was still ok, though).
