Basic but comfortable
Was a bit apprehensive booking this after reading a lot of bad reviews about the cleanliness, however my room was perfectly clean. It’s very basic and definitely a bit tired but is pretty much what I’d expect for the price and type of accommodation. Shower was very bad though, at some points just big drops of water. Events at Boaty’s made for fun evenings and good food there too, although due to the size / setup doesn’t lend itself so easily to solo travellers meeting people apart from in the dorms / if you’re already coming with others.
Our room was terrible, broken window with wood over it, broken door lock, mold and asbestos warning labels. This is a cheap back pack hotel and not a resort-look elsewhere in town.
This is not a motel or resort. It’s a broken down backpackers. Window coverings do not cover windows even nearly. Dirty bathroom. Door lock barely hanging on so left valuables in the car which is parked in their camping ground area. All in all the worst place I’ve stayed in 40 years including Asia.
