Central location, fresh mineral small hot pool. Only 1 pool operating, not like pictures or any other indication online. It's obvious other pools have been unused for some time. If just replaced bathroom flooring & freshen up some of the paint in the bathroom, it would get a tidy rating. Reception guy was friendly and helpful. Nice warm room. Clean linen. I guess, overall, you pay for what you get / don't get!

This place is the absolute worst. The entire facility is in disrepair - very shonky appearance - looks looks like it should be condemned. The room had a faulty light fitting, the shower did not produce more than a trickle, there was a large collection of black hair on the floor and the toilet was somold and dirty I couldn’t bring myself to use it. The entry way to my room was adorned with cigarette boxes and some discarded shampoo bottles. Really very poor.

Shame about the hot pools not working. Lovely hostess good communication with her, very helpful. However suggest that guests are given more than 1 pillow each as they are very flat. Towels are rather small.. nice new curtains in the unit. Unit was a little tired but we would stay again. Surprised that no milk was provided.

Dirty and definitely needs an investment and a refurb Had to ask for soap, milk when asked was told was not supplied even though tea and coffee that was provided in the room The hosts were friendly and it was cheapest accommodation in town. The WiFi was intermittent and was easier to just use data on the phones. Lots of noise and vibration from the road especially from trucks passing by. Mould on bathroom ceiling and the fixtures in bad repair, missing handles, cigarette burns on the sink, light bulbs missing etc Ok for cheap place to say if you are a heavy sleeper and can look past everything else

Great value, everything we needed was there and to top it off the pool was heated naturally with the thermal hot water that was located at the property

The room itself was comfortable. However, the rest of the place seemed to be in great disrepair. We weren't able to park outside our room, because of the condition of the drive. It was very hard to rouse the managers. The hot spring was right outside our window, so we would get whiffs of sulphur coming through.
