    Breakfast

    It’s hard to beat the yum-factor of a cooked breakfast. And our hearty Premier Inn Breakfast at The Social showcases the very best of the lot! That’s unlimited, back-for-more servings of bacon, black pudding, eggs cooked your way, tea and coffee, hash browns, toast and more. For a lighter choice, choose our scrumptious, unlimited continental. Tuck into options like fresh pastries, fruit, yogurts and cereals.

    "The Premier Inn that Lenny Henry forgot"
    Staying at this hotel is like being amidst a comedy sketch show set in the worst hotel that I’ve stayed in. Firstly, building works, it’s such a drab place and think it actually helps it’s in a building site, takes either eye off the rest of the run down drab place. Secondly, the restaurant, Ange offers a show stopping performance of the miserable, it’s all too much trouble waitress. Stressed, over worked and under paid attitude, her life would be much improved if it wasn’t for customers. The food is a huge choice of 4 main dishes, the katsu was definitely a microwave special, all served with the atmosphere of a doctors waiting room. It’s a first for me that I needed a knife to eat the rice. Lastly, the rooms, you normally can’t go wrong with Premier Inn…. Except for Polegate! No air con, leave the window open and it stinks of the fryers in the kitchen below and you hear the traffic outside from the A27. I normally stay in Premier Inn Eastbourne, do not make the same mistake, this is NOT the same. This is not Eastbourne.
    "Pleasantly surprised"
    I travel for work a lot and stay in lots of standard mediocre hotels. When I travel for holidays I like a little bit of luxury. How surprised I was by this little gem. It’s very unassuming. Located within a services area with a local Asda express & McDonald’s. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much. But, the hotel was very clean, the staff especially in the small restaurant were the most loveliest, helpful people I think I have ever encountered in a budget hotel and some non budget hotels. The room had a very powerful fan and despite the heatwave outside maintained a cool temperature. They don’t offer a 5* menu but what budget hotel do? But, what I did have was cooked very nicely and was hot. I’m not a breakfast person but again all very nice including very fresh pastries. Overall I would 100% recommend.
    "Drab, depressing hotel!"
    This was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. I booked the Premier Inn as they are usually clean and fresh, but the Polegate one seems to have dropped off the radar. It was so drab and dated and our room absolutely stank of cheesy feet! There were a few of us staying there for a wedding and everyone reported the same feedback. I had breakfast on the first day but it was such poor quality, I cancelled it for the second day.
    "Good value for money"
    Staff at reception were friendly, room was perfectly clean. Room would benefit from air con but a fan had been provided that was adequate. Breakfast was really good and staff again friendly.

    Hotel description

    Slumber in style in the Sussex countryside in one of our super comfy new generation bedrooms, with an impressive 40" flat screen TV and freshly-updated bathroom with large shower head. Our north Eastbourne hotel is right next to the national cycle network and the South Downs National Park, so you're in the ideal spot for an active country escape or a successful business trip. Nip across to Dieppe on the Newhaven Ferry. Or stick around for a family adventure at Drusillas Park. Take a boat ride, a refreshing dip in the sea, or just relax at Eastbourne beach. Whatever you've been up to, our on-site Premier Inn restaurant and those huge comfy beds will be ready and waiting.
