No stars should be the rating. Terrible hygiene. Filthy brown water coming out of taps. Food was bad. Unsafe uncooked seafood. Stinking rotten fish. Electric sockets unsafe. TVs not working in most rooms. No action taken to rectify by staff.

It is in dire need of refurbishment. TV did not work, no towel rail, cold water basin tap did not work, shower very poor. Bedroom doors on strong springs, difficult to open and bang shut on closing. Disappointing as lovely location and great views.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival, several issues were immediately apparent: • The room and common areas were unclean, poorly maintained, and had a strong unpleasant smell. • Furniture and carpets were badly stained, and overall hygiene appeared neglected. • Electrical appliances in the room appeared either unchecked or last tested over five years ago, according to the tags. • The water from the taps was brown and discoloured, which raised serious hygiene concerns. The manager said it was because the water came from the mountains! • The taps were poorly fitted, causing leaks and poor water pressure. • The shower was nearly unusable, with extreme temperature swings between freezing cold and dangerously hot. • Additionally, the manager was rarely present at reception, and when available, was unable to provide any useful information about the local area, which made our stay more difficult. These conditions made for a very poor and unsafe experience — certainly not in line with the price paid or the hotel’s advertised standards. Had these issues been disclosed in advance, I would not have booked this property.

Attractive property, especially the dining and lounge areas. Recently acquired and will be better as renovations take place. Wi Fi could be better although strong signal can be expected in common and dining area.

Do Not Flush Toilet Paper?

The view was wonderful, room clean, and bed comfortable. The place is a bit run down, which is not a big deal to us. But, there was no wifi and, more importantly, there was a sign in the bathroom saying DO NOT FLUSH TOILET PAPER and asking that it be placed in a specially-provided closed trash can.
