Proprietor: Mrs Madaleine Sweker.
The Arosa has been trading for 25 years and we’re open all year including Christmas Day. We regularly welcome guests from the UK and all around the world. Reception telephone is attended from 08.00 am to 10.00 pm, every day.
The building is centrally heated throughout with thermostatically controlled radiators. It is also predominantly double glazed and carpeted throughout. The building was erected during the Edwardian period and is situated within Bexhill’s conservation area. As we are in the centre of town, the shopping centre and all areas of the town are quick and easy to reach. The Arosa is accessed from Albert Road which is a one way street (north to south). The town centre and all surrounding areas are fully paved on both sides of the road which is flat and level with no gradients or inclines. The entrance to the building has two stone steps, a short mosaic tiled path and another low step at the wide front door/entrance which leads into a spacious, carpeted hallway. The hallway provides access to all downstairs rooms. (A door bell button is located on the R.H side of the front door aperture). Cellular telephone reception is usually good.
Although generally pets cannot be accommodated, we accept guide dogs or hearing helper dogs. We endeavour to be as flexible as possible to accommodate and assist our guests.
We are 150 yards from the sea front.

Overnight car parking in Albert Road is generally not a problem. However, Rother Council have a 2 hour (daytime) parking restriction from Monday to Saturday which is in force from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm.

Property overview:
The property is arranged over 3 floors and access to all upper levels are gained by use of a wide Edwardian staircase. (Due to the construction, layout of the building and UK planning legislation it is unfortunately not possible to fit a lift or provide ramped access). Also, there is no downstairs w.c for general use.
Fire/smoke detectors are located throughout the building and connected to an audible fire alarm. Fire extinguishers and fire alarm buttons are located on all floors in a convenient position. All fire equipment is periodically tested and checked and routine maintenance carried out in accordance with the regulatory body.
A regulation fire door (which must not be propped open) is located at the top of the staircase on the top floor. In accordance with UK law, all fire procedures are prominently displayed in all rooms and throughout the premises. A welcome card and information sheet is also displayed in the rooms for the help and guidance of the guests.
Additional leaflets, guides, timetables and general local information can be found in the lounge and reception area. Alternatively, during service hours, guests can ring the reception bell for help or information. All public thoroughfare areas are lit 24 hrs.
