Great little spot . Bar and restaurant are excellent. Rom was clean and comfortable. Just a basic room, but if you put all day and just need a clean bed and bathroom then this is a great spot. Walking distance to everything you need.

We stayed here overnight on our way to Exmouth. We were a bit concerned as to how cheap the room was but we were pleasantly surprised. The room had the basics, it was clean and did the job. The staff were amazing, we had dinner in the shark bay hotel and the food was amazing. Highly recommend

Located in the heart of town, pleasant stay, great bakery down the road, what a great part of the world! Don’t check-in when they are busy though! Not a great start to what should have been a very nice stay.

This place is at the end of the Earth, and it shows. Tiny, shabby rooms, inattentive staff (who admittedly also act as bartenders), and, worst of all, very flaky and unreliable WiFi Internet.

Very rude and unfriendly staff. welcomed local people,tourists were not treated in a friendly way. This is not how hotel service should be, closed the hotel,put a sign in your business “local only “it made our travel experience worse. Google reviews don’t work, because restaurants and hotels are together to review, that’s why their rates are not lower, looked into the reviews, bad reviews are from the hotel.

It's fine for a couple of days. Hotel is in front of the beach, has parking included. Room with fan and everything you need for your stay. I would have liked them to have explained the services to us. We never knew if breakfast was included and if it had wifi. but in general everything is ok

Noisy

This is an older hotel but clean and cared for. Staff live in the hotel and one of them plays really loud music occasionally which can be quite annoying. Why managers do not stop this practice is beyond me !!! It was annoying enough that I will not return to stay there. Other than that fellow the staff were friendly and attentive

Had to wait until nearly 3pm as apparently busy (I only saw one other person at the bar) then told me I was only staying for 1 night but I’d booked and paid for 2. Then I ordered dinner vegetable moussaka which was cold and had to go back to be put in the microwave and heated up! Rooms basic and need a re fresh.
