Couldn’t lock the glass sliding door. Black mould in the bath room which has made me very very sick with acute respiratory condition . The bed had completely collapsed . Destroyed my back . Teenage girls running and screaming in the corridors at 10:15 at night . Night manager not interested. I had to vacate the room at 22:30 on the second night of my prepaid stay due to intolerable conditions of the facility. So with that I insist on a full refund .!

The pictures shown of the property need to be updated as it is very run down and looks like it has been that way for a long time. The main entrance smelt and walking through the corridors we could smell cigarette smoke. The tap in our bathroom fell off whilst showering. There were holes in our ceiling. The remotes to the air conditioning unit and tv didn’t have enough batteries so we had to keep swapping them to use them. Someone knocked on our door at 11.30pm and woke us up. The pool wasn’t clean. The vending machine only had a couple of random items in it. The front desk is not manned 24/7. Would not recommend. Don’t waste your money

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Very old and out dated. We still had beer lids left in our room from previous tenants. Pool was dirty around the edges with scum. Old car left in car park on jacks with wheels missing. In even pavers my 6 year old kept tripping on them. Over charged at check in.

The room was very comfortable, the building and surrounds looked quite old and a bit run down with a few questionable people hanging around. Great location but would benefit from renovations to get the place to a standard most people expect these days.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was dirty; run down; and very noisy. The car park is not as secure as the website suggests. The photos of the hotel on the website are very creative; the actual property itself is very run down. The sliding door to the ‘balcony/patio’ of the room did not close easily, and there was damage to the lock - it was not at all lockable. The glass sliding door was extremely hard to close, and the lock required a good amount of manoeuvring to lock the door safely. The room itself was very basic, and very poorly designed. The hotel is very old & weary. This was a very last minute booking; being just before a long weekend, the only accomodation available. Would not recommend - El Largo is over priced for what it is.
