The pool was lovely, very basic accommodation and rooms need cosmetic update, stained carpet and very budget kitchen utilities. Ants all around in the kitchen at night. The bed was comfortable and the private outdoor area was nice.

Room was very tired, with stained carpet throughout. It also is in need of a good clean as the floor left our freshly showered feet black and was sticky (plus shower mat came off the ground covered in dark marks). The beds were clean and comfortable but the towels and face cloths were stained and not clean. When we washed dishes and cleaned down the kitchen sink, mould flicked out of the kitchen drain with the brush.

The only good thing i can say about the room was it was nice and big and you could open a sliding door out to a small outdoor courtyard. It was very neglected, there was a terrible smell quite alike to a smell you get when entering a resthome, the pillow cases had stains. The shower head would not stay up. The owners door knocked after 9 am when check out was at 10 so not sure what that was about as a different language was being spoken. It did seem as if repairs/maintainance was starting.

A bit of a horror show, especially around the bathroom: 1. Shower head’s pipe leaking=no pressure 2. Shower head mounting broken 3. Shower curtain full of holes(quite gross) Overall cleanliness also lacking and bed is uncomfortable also. Has been my second time here, and would prefer not to go back until they fix these basics.

Disappointing.

We had stayed here a long time ago, so we’re disappointed that our standard studio was tired, with chipped countertop & furniture, and in need of a good scrub from the top of the microwave top, to window frames, to the vinyl floor edges, and net curtains were torn. Room amenities listed are incorrect - no full-sized fridge/freezer (an influence in choosing this accommodation), it was under-bench-size; no fan; no DVD player; and the couch sinks towards the middle. The shower listed is over a corner bath (is that the private hot tub listed??). The kitchenette is sparsely appointed with mismatched mugs, no side plates, a two-burner electric cooktop, and 3 pots (no pans), + a microwave. The check in seemed rushed with no chat until she replied to us to be polite. Check out similar. We won’t be recommending this place unless the cleaning & maintenance improves.
