Hotel Arinsal

Economical, very economical and practical. That's it. For the price I paid I wasn't expecting much and I really didn't get much. A bed to sleep in, in a tiny room with a small bathroom, TV and I booked one with a very small balcony which led out from the balcony. It was exceptionally clean, so clean in fact that I thought I might just suffocate from the smell of cleaning materials when I walked in, had I not nearly tripped over the cracked tiles which distracted me from the strong smell. While sitting on the toilet I could amuse myself by looking at the hole in the bathroom door which had clearly been punched in. The staff were very friendly which is always a huge plus for me and the receptionist, who also doubled as the waitress in the restaurant downstairs was very helpful and kindly let us in for dinner even though we had arrived a little late. The quaint restaurant within the hotel was the saving grace, the food fresh and well-prepared and very tasty! At the end of the day we had a clean, safe place to sleep, with full stomachs in a beautiful location and a wallet that was a little but fuller because this hotel had not burnt a hole in it, I clearly had not paid for bells and whistles here.

Great location but disgraceful rooms - dirty mattresses, black mould in bathroom, broken tiles, broken shower heads and tiny rooms. AVOID!!
