Lovely room and staff but very loud outside noise
Room was exceptionally clean and in lovely condition. Bed was comfortable but pillows were of a low quality not offering much neck support. Staff were friendly and efficient. Unfortunately our overall enjoyment was affected by the location of out room (a corner room facing the high street). The outside noise (bars, clubs, traffic) were very loud until 3.30am. If you can request a room on the other side of the corridor the noise should be less.

Had to change rooms as there was a constant whirring noise. Heavy dust in both rooms, light shades and cupboards. Although the rest of the room was very clean. I had to call staff as a half naked, drunken guest asleep in the communal room their clothing strewn along the corridor, fire extinguisher taken off the wall laying on the floor, staff couldn't get them into room so left the person snoring outside our door. Why wasn't this picked up on security camera The heat in the rooms was unbearable, although fans were supplied, unable to sleep with them operating. Room was on the road so very noisy. Constant noise from the public till 4am. So couldn't open the window to negate the heat. The staff were excellent . Having said that I wouldn't use again, and wouldn't recommend it.

Good convenient location. Clean well appointed rooms. Staff welcoming and very helpful. Only issue is the room on the 2nd floor was unbearably warm and there was no way to manually control it. The staff provided a floor fan on our second night and moved us to an upper floor day 3 and 4. I would stay again but request a higher floor.

Temperature above 30 degrees in the room (it was 19 degrees outside!) and no way to cool it down, other than to open the window onto an extremely noisy and drunken high street or to put on a noisy fan. Terrible night’s sleep. This is a common and ongoing problem judging by other reviews.

When i arrived it was raining and door wasn't open so had to faff about ringing a number. Luckily they came to let me in quickly. Then i got to the room but as i entered the corridor i was met by a real change in temperature. It was very warm. The temperature in the room said 28° !! I tried to reduce it but it wouldn’t. The room had two windows open so they obviously knew it was ridiculously warm. I went for dinner with a local friend who suggested i ask for room change. When i asked i was told "not possible as place full". Reluctantly i slept with windows open and fan blasting on me which made the room noisy so difficult to sleep. At 6am we all got woken to a fire alarm. A few people popped head out of room but it certainly didnt look like a full hotel to me! Finally there is no hair dryer in the room and when i asked was told you need to.ring for one as they dont allow them in room dor health & safety risk! Its a 4 star apartotel with kettle's etc, and used by adult's. All places provide hairdryers usually, so again felt lazy and un customer focused! Worst still is there wasnt an internal phone so you had to dial using your own phone 🙄 it just felt silly. I wouldn't recommend. The shower door was also broken and kept coming off it slider.

The property was ok and the staff friendly. However the corridors and bedrooms were far too hot and there was no air conditioning available and a minimal window to ventilate so very uncomfortable to be in

A new hotel - I stayed on the 6th floor which was clearly brand new. The hotel was very clean and a pleasant stay overall. Some teething issues in that some of the appliances were not working (microwave) as they were brand new and not used before, but I am sure these will be ironed out in due course. No air conditioning though, and even though it was only an 18 degree day, it was very hot in the room. My room (suite) did not have a window, but a fan was provided which helped. Staff extremely helpful throughout.

Didnt live up to expectations
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!)

This place deserves no stars. Travelling from the USA i had booked one night and arranged to meet friends at 5pm. Checkin was at 3, when i went there, room was not ready, came back at 4.30pm room still not ready so they switched me to another another room. When i got to the room there was no bed linen, no towels and no toilet paper, the room was dirty and had not been cleaned and there were dirty pots in the sink. I complained to the front desk and all i got was "it's not my fault, i told you the room wasn't ready" (the other one). so it appears they switched me from one dirty room to another. I was already late to meet my friends and asked for the missing stuff to be brought to my room so i could shower and leave. A guy came to the room with TP and sheets but no towels, when i asked for towels he walked away, brought towels and not the TP or sheets. then i asked him to get me TP. He looked like a dog that had been shown a card trick. He then offered to change the bed linen and i told him to come back in 30 mins after i had showered and he would have all evening to clean the room and put clean linen on the bed. I came back 7 hours later at 12:30am to find nothing had been done, so i slept on top of a comforter, showered in the morning and left ASAP. It looked like they had 3 people running the place, completely and utterly understaffed and those that were there were incompetent and uncaring. A disgrace of a hotel and i will be asking for a full refund of my money.

Staff lovely and friendly, the hotel is mainly clean and tidy. However couldn't get onto wifi a couple of the days and cooker wouldn't turn on or cut off on me half way. Also shower clogged up. The app for the laundry doesn't work for android so had to use my colleagues phone to be able to wash my clothes
