I had high hopes for our first stay at Vive in Hastings, as Hastings desperately needs an injection of reasonably priced decent hotels. However we had NO SLEEP at all due to excessive room + hotel temperature; noise; and light polution. The hotel was SOOOO hot (on a cool day). Even the corridoors. The heat hit you as soon as you walked in. Although a fan was in the room (which should have been an indication of what was to come) it was impossible to regulate the room temperature. There was a thermostat in the room, that was set on lowest setting. Opened a window, but gave little relief, and there was so much road noise. There was also a constant 'humming' noise, which we believe was from a ceiling air vent (which gave no comfort to the extreme temperature). The curtains, although with blackout lining, did not meet in the middle, and had spaces all round the outside letting light in day and night! The noise of the buses and traffic together with the bright lights outside; and the excessively hot temperature made it impossible to sleep. We also left a quality shirt behind in the wardrobe (our fault), but on contacting reception it was nowhere to be found! (Cleaner obviously had a good tip!)
