Travelled with partner
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s a very old and a bit dilapidated building with dodgy narrow stairs. Room was so basic and a bit grungy. The room wasn’t ready which was annoying. The best thing was the locality to everything. Staff were inexperienced and when I ordered coffee I burnt my mouth from the scorching water.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The staff were fabulous when I requested to move room after finding considerable mould. Overall the cleanliness was pretty atrocious, but you get that when you can trade cleaning for free nights. Overall, the vibe of the place is chill and kinda cool and the location is great - far enough away to be quiet, but close enough to easily walk to everything, including the beach.
