Für einen Kurzurlaub okay, für Wochen eher nicht.
Pros:

Das Einzelzimmer war klein aber funktionell mit Blick nach "hinten" auf die Hausrückseiten. Das Frühstück war mittel-gut. Die Lage des Hotels ist super an der Promenade, unweit der Pier. Das Hotel war sehr preiswert im Wortsinne.

Cons:

Nur eine Steckdose und keine Haken im Zimmer. Mit wenig Aufwand wäre mehr Komfort möglich. Die separaten Hähne für warm und kalt sind typisch britisch, aber unpraktisch. Auch das Klopapier in Postkartengröße aus dem Spender ist gewöhnungsbedürftig.

We enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

Check in and hotel was good. The hotel had been updated but more maintenance and updating is needed, It had a comfortable lounge and the rooms were nice

Cons:

The breakfast was very limited and one got the impression that people preferred to go elsewhere. We took hotel breakfast the first day but didn't repeat that for our extra night.

It was okay and don’t be fooled by the photos on booking.com
Pros:

Only thing that good I say is that it was close to the Beach/peir and the lady at the desk was polite

Cons:

Ermm the noise at night like doors outside your room was making creek noise or like you front door keeps opening and you can hear some ppl outside and in so wall are abit thin also the room was very warm day and night they give you get a small fan that was very dusty/dirty and not very powerful the bed felt like it was gonna break even if you sit on it and the pillows was thin plus the duvet had some stains on it aswell plus windows very small to let air in so not worth the price say needs some updated things in there and some life inside and outside the hotel just seems like not bothered as much in the rooms

Great stop as a solo traveller
Pros:

Perfect location for an overnight stop before taking the morning ferry from Newhaven. Great that they had a single room. Excellent value for money for solo travelling.

Cons:

All was as I had hoped.
