The Bank Hotel & Bistro0

Characterful building. Nice decor. Great location (short walk from St Leonards Warrior Square station), great sea view.

Perfect spot on the seafront. Lovely decor in the bedroom and a large very comfy bed.

Breakfast was part of the deal however the only spot available was 8:30, and on a Sunday that’s too early. the reason given was that the restaurant is open to the public from 9am and the cereals had to be put away. Maybe a way round this is to serve the same menu to the public and the residents? Even if there were stipulations on the menu as to what we could have included in our rate. With check out at 11am, 8:30am was far too early and a little unfair on residents. This was the only fault. The staff were very welcoming and we will stay again. The hotel is a lovely base for a stay in St Leonard’s.

The bed was really comfortable, room was very clean and breakfast was really good. Everyone was really nice. Overall it is a lovely place to spend a night

Window wooden framen was quite old and do need a change since it didn't close properly. Guess not an issue in summer but it was quite cold outside. It got sorted by having the heating on all night. It can also get a bit noisy outside but there will be free earplugs in your room, I didn't have to use them though.

Absolutely lovely room, had a lovely warm welcoming along with a valentines cocktail when we arrived. Room was spotless with the most stunning views across the sea we watched the sun rise the following morning. Added touch to the room for our valentines getaway was a bottle of prosecco with heart biscuits and rose petals. Breakfast was really nice also. Will definitely be returning in the near future.

Only down side was the parking, we had to drive around for about 15 minutes to find a car space on the road that we could leave the car overnight.

The staff were brilliant from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Very friendly and helpful. We had a sea view room, which was spacious, clean, comfortable and had a globetrotter theme. There were antique looking suitcases and a table which was shaped as a map of Africa, with the names of the countries carved into it. We were a couple of floors up and are relatively fit and healthy, so there appearing to be no lift was no problem for us. Neither was the previously reported street noise. We've stayed in several seafront hotels in Hastings and other seaside towns. The noise from police sirens and from revellers passing by, was no different to any of those other hotels and towns. Breakfast was good and free parking was easy to find and very close by. I cannot complain about anything. Thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome!

Location fantastic. Beautiful room with great view of the beach. It was big and the shower room a good size. lovely shower. Nice things very good room information and a alert bell if we needed any thing out of service hours. Nice toiletries and a box of tissues. Breakfast, In a lovely room called the Ballroom,which also had a sitting area to watch morning TV. Breakfast service good and enjoyed the English cooked breakfast. the room is also used for cinema nights.

Lovely room was noisey and hot. Fan was supplied for heat. Room was next to the kitchen and breakfast room so some noise but that meant we got up early(early morning sea wlk for me) Would have have liked two keys as the room as the room would not latched. Bathroom need shelf for toothbrushes.

The breakfast is ok. You get to choose from a couple of options with is a wider menu you can pay extra for. The staff were very helpful. The location is great for the beach, The beds were also comfortable and our room clean.

We stayed in room 13 and the shower wasn't great...the first morning the water stopped completely and the following 2 mornings the pressure was terrible. The hotel needs a little tlc in places, some fairly strange decor.

Love the large and bright room with good heating, comfortable large bed with nice pillows. The bathroom is quirky as it was designed like it was a bank vault. The period furniture fits well with the era of the building. We had no problem finding free parking. Adequate breakfast. Unlike others who reported the place being noisy and earplugs were supplied, we enjoyed 3 lovely quiet nights.

Having to walk up 3 flights of stairs.

We had a good room in a recently refurbished hotel with pleasant decor. It is situated on the seafront. There is a bistro in the hotel with limited food and drinks. The owner/manager was very pleasant and explained and demonstrated the out-or-hours access very easily. She also advised us where free street parking was available. Several decent pubs in the vicinity, back from the seafront. The quaint funicular railways allow access to the cliff tops.

We were obliged to leave early (around 6.00am) to catch the Eurotunnel train from Folkestone, an hour plus in the car. We were told that no staff would be on duty until 7.00am and thus no breakfast could be provided, even though our room rate included breakfast.

Room was beautiful & very comfortable. Staff friendly & helpfull. Probably the comfiest hotel room I've stayed in ever !

I thought the bar mite stay open later. Also the menue for breakfast makes a point of saying "Eggs your way" but they don't do poached (although they are both very minor things) it did not affect my stay & I would happily stay hear evrytime I visit !
