Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We booked a 2 twin-bedded rooms but were given 2 rooms with double beds instead. This was not good, but 1 room was bedding was subsequently changed, and the twin beds emerged. Rooms were clean overall, although the sink in one room was not very clear, and water emptied slowly.
Property was not clean. Stains/Marks on the floors in the foyer and in the room. Very noisy. No facilities/services available after 9pm, including no food/beverage. Very old and tired furniture. Staff seemed inconvenienced during check-in.
