After checking-in we went to our room and when we opened the door, it was already occupied and full of rubbish. We informed the reception and they changed our room to one that was clean and empty. The room was okay but there were some issues. The shower head wasn’t screwed in properly so you had to hold the shower head to shower. The wall above the bed was covered in handprints. The aircon had an issue and was incredibly loud so we had to use the fan which was hanging from exposed wires. A very disappointing stay.

Didn’t like that we put the do not disturb sign up and when we came back in the room there was evidence that people had been in there (extra clean towns in the bathroom) when the dirty ones were not removed and husbands fault for leaving his packets of smokes on the table so two packets went missing. But other than that the place is fantastic and in a great location

I really enjoyed my stay at Hides, I could walk to everything within 5-10 mins, including the bus station, wharf, esplanade and night markets. The rooms are very spacious, bed was comfortable, and Woolworths is across the road! My room's big window was frosted, so couldn't see out. Only one small part of the window could be opened, so if this is a problem for you, ask first. Also the lovely pool was "broken" as the staff put it, they need to fix it ASAP. There were a few tiny ants in the bathroom, but all in all, it is fantastic value for money in a very convenient location.
