Having spent the night in a sea front air B&B we had to check out early so needed somewhere quick to store our luggage so we could go of sightseeing and found a very convenient store through stasher which worked perfectly fine for safekeeping for 5 h hours
Convenient location but the listing times are wrong and have been for many months so I couldn’t leave my bags as long as I had paid for. Also there was no security or checking process or much room in the messy cupboard to leave things easily.
Fine, but they did leave our luggage in a ‘locked’ room where the key was literally in the door. The pickup time was also incorrect: website said 4, but they insisted that we collect at 3:30.
Easy to find & friendly staff. Good central location
One big room for storage no lockers. The manager there was taking a picture of the suitcases and that was it.
Ok location. Smells like cigarettes. A little bit difficult to understand the correct doorbell. Seems like the place is called two different names.
Safe locked room in the cafe (follow the corridor round to it) to leave your belongings.Five mins walk from the train station so very handy.Lovely ladies to deal with and a good brew on returning to pick our case up thanks.
Great service
5 mins away from the train station
Friendly hotelier. Bags kept safe until collection.

Many visitors to Hastings arrive by train or coach, or stay in a holiday rental that cannot hold bags after checkout, leaving hours to fill before the journey home.
The town's transport network sets clear luggage rules, and its historic attractions each have their own constraints, from a castle best explored hands-free to a smuggling museum that cannot admit pushchairs. Some sites sit within easy walking distance of the station, though none of the covered stops offer a formal left-luggage desk, so planning ahead matters. The town’s historic Old Town, castle ruins, and The Stade fishing beach are among its defining landmarks. Hastings Station, the town's main rail arrival point, is roughly 0.8 miles from Hastings Aquarium. Hastings is a fishing port and home to the largest beach-launched fishing fleet in the United Kingdom. Hastings was historically one of the medieval Cinque Ports. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag a day.

Southeastern runs the main rail service into Hastings and allows one item of hand luggage plus up to two larger items, ideally no larger than 30x70x90cm and weighing no more than 23kg each. The station itself has step-free access to all platforms, with lifts on platforms 3 and 4, so wheeling a case to street level is straightforward. A new weekday express service now reaches London Bridge in as little as 1 hour 18 minutes, which makes Hastings practical for a day trip but also means many people arrive with luggage in tow and no room to store it. If you come by coach instead, Sussex Coaches reserves the right to refuse anything it deems excessive or awkwardly sized, so pack lightly for that leg. On the council-run Flexibus service, you are responsible for securing and handling your own luggage on and off the bus.
Hastings Castle sits on the West Hill cliff and is a 15-minute step-free walk from the station, though its exposed position and ruin layout mean you will want your hands free rather than managing a suitcase on the approach. Smugglers Adventure is stricter: pushchairs cannot go inside at all and must be left in the buggy park at reception, which signals how little room there is for anything bulky underground.
Hastings Museum and Art Gallery, just a 7-minute walk from the station off Bohemia Road, is the kind of stop that works far better without a bag over your shoulder. The Hastings Storytelling Festival runs from 17 to 25 October 2026 across venues in Hastings and St Leonards, and a day hopping between story sessions is another one where luggage quickly becomes a burden.
