We had to stay here because there were no other options- but the place is really gross- the rooms are totally nasty and run down. The beds are awful. Dont stay here unless you're desperate.

Verified traveller

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The view from the room is great but cannot be enjoyed due to “balcony is actually a public walkway between all the units, plus there is no table or desk in the room but two chairs The beds are so uncomfortable to sit or sleep on, we both had back pain after the stay The toilet cistern keeps leaking water into the pan causing noise and not good flushing for next use, the shower is a nightmare to get the temperature right Overall it was a disappointment, Will not stay again or to recommend to anyone
