I was surprised at the size of the rooms—they were very generous. The decor could use an update, but for the price, it was very good. I definitely would stay again and recommend it to others.

Miserable stay, lights are broken, air con noisy and bathroom had plumbing issues. It started flooding once using the shower and made it unbearable to stay. We were given another room to stay but again same problems, noisy air con and the bed was broken too. We were charged for two nights even though we only stayed one night since it was that bad we wanted to leave and stay somewhere else. We were promised a refund and they didn't even cooperate with that. I had to always initiate conversation and they have the same excuse its upto the owner who is based in India. A clear breach of Consumer Guarantees Act by this hotel. We stayed February 2025.

The property is pretty run down and has suffered noticeable water damage, but the staff are friendly and helpful and do the best they can with what they have. The room was large, and tidy, and not overly noisy.

Very run down hotel. Noisy fan constantly running in the bathroom. Did have all you needed in the room. And the bed was comfy. Just very three star accommodation and the price reflects it so can’t complain. Would only stay for one night for a quick stop over.

Decent stay

Our stay was good, room was large & also had a separate bedroom with two single beds, did not use that room but would have if there was a queen bed instead of singles. We had a balcony which was pool view. Nice to sit out there in the evening. It was a pity that the pool was not in a clean state, they obviously have a problem with birds as the pool was littered with bird feathers & looked unkempt. Its such a shame the pool area is not looked after as it wouldve been lovely to relax by the pool. Overall the hotel was good & very close to shops, cafes & restaurants.
