My pillow was dirty, the power point in the bathroom was hanging out of the wall dangerous in my opinion. The balcony door had tape across it as it was cracked so we didn’t open the door in case it shattered.

Convenient location and clean and comfortable but facilities are basic and maintenance required (broken window, no smoke alarm battery, sink plug not right size, landscaping and property untidy)

Repairs needed particularly in the bathroom where thongs had been taken off the wall but screws remain. Replace the tiles to give a better impression. Also one has to be a dwarf to be able to get under the shower!

Dirty, run-down place. Dust everywhere. Things are falling off. We had 5 hours of sleep, woke up at 6 am and left. The pool was disgusting. I don't understand how promoting such a dirty pool is even legal. No one can swim in the pool. It is not safe.
