Very noisy and run down hotel, do not recommend!

We were very disappointed when arriving at the hotel as the photos shown really do not accurately show the hotel. The hotel is extremely run down and we changed rooms three times within the first 24 hours due to broken electrics, broken lights, a broken bed where the mattress fell through the frame and constant noise late at night and into the early hours. It really is in need of a serious renovation throughout and whilst the hotel is very affordable and therefore you do not expect the height of luxury, you do still expect the hotel to be clean and the rooms to be safe and properly functioning. The hotel is a short 10 minute walk from bars and restaurants but that really is the only positive thing about it.

When we arrived in our room it was infested with big cockroaches. Then they moved us to another room and the balcony door didn't close properly and we were bitten with bugs all over. We wouldn't stay there again!

Disappointed

This hotel was full of young lads and girls we got woke up 3 times by loud music coming from rooms in the early hours of the morning all though the staff sorted it it wasn’t good. The staff were all ok the room was cleaned every day but there was no hanging space for our clothes in the room and the room was very dated and everything was well used . The nicest thing about this place was the pool area . We wouldn’t stay here again .

Our check in was at 2245 and we were checked in with ease. Our room reflected the price. Air conditioning worked great. Cute little balcony. Shower pressure and temperature was good but the height of the shower head is only suitable for children but it’s detachable and worked good enough. Pool was great too but it was too cold to fully enjoy. One cockroach was found in the hallway. None in our room.

It is Not a hotel. It is a dormitory for workers who get up at 5.00 am waking the tourists up. There is no restaurant, no bar no cosy sitting area, not even a coffee bar. They send you off to an adjacent dingy pub. Most unpleasant experiance!

Hôtel mal entretenu, service quasi inexistant, isolation phonique médiocre, clientèle d'ados extrêmement bruyants et probablement fortement alcoolisés. Compte tenu que le balcon était partagé avec une autre chambre, la porte d'accès ne tenant que par un verrou branlant, je ne me suis pas senti en sécurité.
