Decor quite tired but room was fine, sheets and bedding nice and clean. No power points at the bed. Bathrooms close and clean enough. Nice lounge area with one small Tv and a ping pong table. One broken pool table. Nice big kitchen. Hard to find if using google maps but well sign posted once you find it.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay here. There were a few issues (like how most of the outlets I tried in the lounge area didn't work), but the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Bedding only suitable for duster ! Wobbly taps, water not running away properly in shower and the smallest sink imaginable in the room with private facilities. However, the location of this property is great and we enjoyed our stay. On a budget? You couldn’t fault it.

Very nice for the price. The bunk bed was extremely wobbly and moved quite a bit when either some one in the top or bottom moved.

Photos on the internet were misleading and gave the impression that the single rooms were more modern and hotel like.

6/10 Good

This property is in an awesome location and would be amazing if it was upgraded. Our room was adequate, but there were so many things 'not working' that it became a bit of a joke. Electrical outlets and light switches that didn't work, and a double kitchen sink in our room that had had the taps removed....??!! The whole property had a stale odour about it too. Having said that, we were perfectly comfortable for our one-night stay and you can't beat the location.
