Chatsworth Hotel, Hastings - Reviews & Ratings"Average, but wouldn't recommend the hotel to any of my friends or relatives." (107952805)
The breakfast and service was good.
The room was very tired looking in its decor. The view out of the window over the sea was lovely, unfortunately the double glazing had misted up between layers which spoilt the view.

Breakfast was good, room clean and tidy.
Quite noisy - none of the doors had soft closures so every entrance and exit was accompanied by a slam.

The catering staff were very helpful. The double room was big enought for the cot/three of us.
The room was very dirty overall, the windows in the bedroom & top bed sheet had not been cleaned for good knows how long. The Air con did not work in the shower room and the window was not very secure (lock was not very good).

Breakfast was very good and value for money
catch was broken on window room 117 so could not close it to. The bed was under the window so I was cold. Could not work the shower.

Chatsworth Hotel, Hastings - Reviews & Ratings"the actual hotel and facilities were fine but the noise in our room from the nightclub spoiled the break for us." (107478277)
breakfast was good ,room was well serviced
unfortunately the nightclub under the hotel was very noisy also the view as of four wheelie bins and piles of rubbish during the day and people using the back of the hotel as a toilet or even more unsavoury things at night

Chatsworth Hotel, Hastings - Reviews & Ratings"I have stayed here twice now (in different rooms) and therefore I think it isn't a one-off experience anymore. The rooms are just very poor and dirty." (107861149)
Good location. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to book online. Available at short notice. Clean sheets.
I thought these kind of hotel rooms were already a thing of the past. They might belong into "Fawlty Towers" but not in a 21st century hotel (whatever the price category). The furniture and equipment were apparently sourced from a 2nd hand shop some time in the 70s and have suffered a lot of abuse ever since. The bathroom can be summed up with one word: Dirty.

Chatsworth Hotel, Hastings - Reviews & Ratings"Typical (grotty) UK hotel. Far from international standards (except room rates...)." (107640563)
The hotel did not try to rip people off by trebling the room rates during the event (as so many others in Hastings did). Breakfast was available an hour earlier than normal because of the event.
There was a major event (Hastings Marathon) going on, with many of the guests competing in the marathon. The breakfast offered for this purpose was not adequate.

Chatsworth Hotel, Hastings - Reviews & Ratings"Ok for an overnight stay if the shower had been working properly. I expect I will book a different Hotel next year, however, if the Chatsworth was one of the only available Hotels near the Town, then I'd be happy to stay there. It's not that the Chatswoth is a bad Hotel. There's just better out there with hot showers!" (107899217)
Good position near Town Centre. Staff friendly. Was lucky enough to get residential parking and lucky enough to get a room on the 19th of October, booking at the last minute.
The shower was stone cold, even though there was hot water to the taps. This has been commented on in previous feedback left on other sites, so is disapointing that it has not been rectified. A warm shower is in important. The room was quite dark. The weak link in an otherwise enjoyable breakfast was definitely the sausages. Rubbery and flavourless.

GOOD STAFF ATTITUDE - EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE FROM FRIENDLY STAFF.CAR PARKING NO PROBLEM.
THOUGHT DECOR WAS A BIT "TIRED" - A COUPLE OF LIGHTS NOT WORKING IN OUR ROOM BUT DIDNT CAUSE US A PROBLEM.ROOM WAS A BIT NOISY (OUTSIDE ROAD NOISE) BUT THEN WE DID REQUEST A ROOM WITH SEA VIEW SO NO FAULT OF HOTEL.

I was very disappointed as when I booked in, I ordered and paid for breakfast to be sent to my room at 8am, as I was leaving at 8.30am. By 8.15 it had not arrived, so I tried to call down, but the phone wasnt working in my room. Then I went to reception, explained, and they unhelpfully gave me the £3.00 they charged to have room service, but did not apologise and refused to refund anymore as the breakfast was complimentary, but as I was on a time scale, I missed out completely. I found the staff very unhelpful

Chatsworth Hotel, Hastings - Reviews & Ratings"Food excellent, but poor ad's online saying they have things that they dont have which is well out of order." (108003278)
The food was lovely in the restaurant in the evening ang the breakfast was very good too. The staff in the restaurant were very nice and friendly.
I was very upset when we was told that the hotel had closed the nightclub a few mouths ago as one of the main reasons we booked this hotel was for the nightclub, which online they still say they have a nightclub which i think was really wrong when they dont, also i was disappointed that it did not say that the so called bar was in the restaurant and that it closes when the restaurant dose.

Chatsworth Hotel, Hastings - Reviews & Ratings"We had a pleasant time in the hotel" (107285336)
The breakfast buffet was really tasty! View of the sea was nice and the location of venue fantastic, couldnt be closer to the town centre really. Good value for money.
I thought the television in the room was really tiny. Not normally an issue but the weather was atrocious the weekend of our stay so we were in the room more than planned, hence watching a teeny tiny tv. Also the car park issue should really be mentioned on the website. We drove to the front of the hotel and checked in at 3pm and were told to find another car park until 4pm by which then, we could obtain a further token in the under ground car park. This would mean moving the car twice AFTER trying to check in! Quite a bit of hassle after a long drive and full day in the rain! So we left the car outside the hotel for 50 minutes thinking we would be made to do such a thing for such a short time.....and got a parking ticket!!! This was really upsetting and added quite a bit more expense to our weekend. Had we known this in advance we would have either checked in at 4pm and gone straight to the underground car park, or left the car in the car park by the promenade (which we had already paid for..... and left to check in) whilst we checked in.

Once in the hotel, everything was to the standard expected, the staff were polite and well mannered. The breakfast was hot and freshly cooked. The room was clean and the bed was freshly made.
4 steps into the main entrance, with no access for a wheelchair user

We received a room with a sea view without paying extra because the hotel wasn't busy
The phone in our room didn't work. The bed was very small. The website said smoking rooms were available but that wasn't the case

it was adequate for one night, but no longer
The room had dull lighting, door access to my took many attempts to get in even after reprogramming the card.
