Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was dated, and the room was very small, in fact, the whole hotel was so small in every aspect, the reception area had seating for a maximum of 6 people only, and the breakfast room was so compact people had to wait for a very basic breakfast, cheese, boiled eggs and a very tiny pieces of bread. However, the hotel was clean and the staff tried to help, but they struggled due to the very limited or no English. I would not recommend this hotel to English speakers.

I left before stay end even without saying good by. The worst hotel I ever stayed in. Batter be a students home stay rather than a 3 stars hotel. pass your way, tinny rooms with dust all around bed in a dirty state. Dust everywhere. Breakfast nasty, hopefully for me there are plenty of choises around. Must be out of Expedia hotel category, believe me it is not worth a penny.

I will be putting a review also on the wotif website. Location advertised was wrong. False advertising with the images, not one image of the room we stayed in was on your booking site. Room was disgusting, beds, sheets pillows stunk like smoke even though we asked for a non smoking room. We had to check out a day earlier due developing rash from the lack of hygiene of the property. Will be requesting a full refund from wotif. Shame on use for deceiving and false advertising. I will be taking this further
