The White Rock Hotel

Always our first choice of hotel when we are visiting Hastings. The location is perfect, great view of the pier and the sea, next to the theatre, 5 mins walk from shopping centre and the old town. Free parking. My husband ran in the park run which starts practically opposite the hotel. Breakfast (Little Jill) excellent and reasonably priced esp with 20% off for guests (applies to all food and drinks). In the summer the terrace overlooking the beach and pier is a great spot to people watch. Room set aside to watch the Euros. Staff and management very approachable and friendly. Will continue to return.

We stayed at The White Rock Hotel last year and loved it so came back this year. However, unfortunately this time round wasn't as positive. The room had a very stained carpet, marks and stains on the walls, cobwebs, a light in the bathroom and bedside light were not working. The shower head was also quite encrusted with limescale and there were patches of mould in the bathroom. It is an old building (which is part of the charm) however the rooms need some maintenance and refreshing. We also did not have a do not disturb sign which when we asked at reception, they didn't have another but did put a note on the system. The location is fantastic, the bed was clean and really comfortable and it does the job. Just a shame that this year's experience wasn't as positive as last year.

Stayed over bank holiday weekend with no mains water and the staff managed admirably to make our stay as normal as possible. Full restaurant service with fresh linen etc.(no compromises) , supply of sea water to flush and a large comfortable refurbished room with view of the pier. The Manager, Lawrence, was nearly always visible and approachable and kept us up to date with the water issue and the staff were bright and cheery, showing no signs of the stressful situation that must have occured behind the scenes.

Wonderful, bright seafront room. Exceptionally clean. Perfect, central location - especially for the White Rock Theatre - bang next door. Definitely a quirky hotel and we were lucky enough to get a space in the small car park. Friendly staff.

The hotel is situated opposite the pier, so an ideal position. The rooms are clean and comfy and rooms cleaned and new towels daily. The staff are young and maybe still learning but try really hard. They are super friendly. The reception staff are good as well. The food is ok but a couple of our breakfasts on different mornings were cold. We also had an evening meal once, which wasnt great to be honest. The hotel is dog friendly which was great. Parking wasnt an issue as spaces at the rear. Would we go back, Yes we would.

My friends and I used the bar following a performance at the White Rock Theatre, it was getting late and the coffee machine was being cleaned. No problem for the young man behind the bar, he prepared a large pot of coffee for us plus tea! Delicious! He and the other Barista on duty, sorted out some empty spirits bottles for me, I don't drink, but my hobby is to Decoupage bottles! They also found me a carrier bag to carry them away in! 🤗 Very helpful and friendly staff. 🤗 I promise to do a nice Tip Jar for your bar, bring it I when I next visit!🙂

Although I stayed over Christmas with limited resources the basic attention to detail was lacking I could not lock my door from the inside The room was cold during the night and the heating did not come on early enough for me The breakfast menu was confused with the pricing The room telephone was not answered on several occasions saying the mail box was full I thought overpriced for the facilities The bar staff were wonderful Mist of reception staff very good

Stayed at The White Rock in February as I was attending a friend's engagement party which was being held in the basement bar of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and gave me good tips of where to go and what to see in Hastings. My room was comfortable, clean and very quiet. Breakfast was a hit, I had what the menu called - 'Little Jill', which is a smaller version of the - 'Full Audrey', In other words a full English. I had scrambled eggs, fried tomato a nice sausage, granary toast and coffee. All good. The lounge area is well worth investigating as there are some old album vinyl sleeves on the wall. I Enjoyed my stay here, would return again.

11 of us friends met up and spent a long weekend in Hastings staying here at the white rock hotel. The hotel is quirky being a combination of houses combined. The room I had was clean and comfortable with a lovely view out to the front. The walls were a bit thin. Sunday night 🌙 I was disturbed late by late arrivals in the opposite room. Staff made the stay nothing too much trouble all so pleasant and caring..
