Reviews
Toilets didn’t work properly.
Bed was very bad
The pool was cold and the staff was very rude and disrespectful.
All in all a worn out place that I can not recommend anyone visiting.
They gave a us a list of take away places nearby that all shut between 9 and 10.
Uncomfortable pillows, scarne bathroom, sad interiors , dirty carpet , mouldy sink and bath .
It started with the employees – they were not welcoming and didn’t even look at you when speaking. Maybe they are overworked or underpaid, but either way the service felt unfriendly.
The room was disappointing: very old, humid, full of mosquitoes, and with no air conditioning – making it unbearable in summer. To make it worse, there was no soap provided.
Breakfast was just okay, but the coffee tasted awful and I even found a hair in the water.
Never ever again – I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone.
Avoid during summer holidays.
Bartending staff have about as much charm as a concussed Tasmanian Devil.
I may have well saved the money and gotten better service at my local spa.
