Für drei Tage keine Katastrophe, aber trotz des netten Personals keine Option für die Zukunft
Pros:

Die Lage war okay

Cons:

Es war niemand da, als ich abends ankam. Ich stand auf der Straße und wusste nicht, was tun, als niemand öffnete nachdem ich geklingelt hatte. Zum Glück kam ein anderer Gast, schloss auf, ließ mich ein und verwies mich auf Telefonnummern an der Rezeption. Eine Nachricht über booking.com wäre ja wohl angemessen gewesen. Frühstück wie auf der Website angegeben, gab es auch nicht, ich hätte in ein anderes Hotel gehen müssen / überflüssig, denn in Eastbourne gibt es gute Cafés. Das Bett glich einer Hängematte, das Zimmer extrem renovierungsbedürftig.
