    Leftover body hair and residues on the bed sheets and pillow covers from the previous users which were not cleaned. Ladders on the bunk beds were rusted and seemed too unsafe to climb without footwear.

    The disco didn’t finish to 330am so it was noisy. The bed was bouncy. The room was very small so no room for luggage. There was no sink or mirror in the bathroom which meant we had to use the sink in the kitchenette to brush our teeth. I found this very unsatisfactory.

    Very clean room. Crisp and clean linen.

    Reception was awful. There was never anyone in the office and had to enquire at the bar for service - not easy on St Patrick's day! Difficult to get extra pillow. Motel room was clean but spartan even for this type of accommodation. A box ticked rather than a particularly great stay.

    We chose this place for the location, almost on the beach. It was cheap and cheerful like many motels.

    I didn't like that there was no air conditioner in the room.

    The location was excellent, close to the beach and pub. The room was what you would expect for a back packers room. The gentleman at the desk was very helpful.

    No aircon, but had a fan that cooled the room down a bit. We stayed on a Friday night and it was very loud with the busy bar next door. Wasn’t a problem for us but just keep that in mind.

    Location was prime. Right next to the beach and the pub. Very reasonably priced too.

    2 things that I expected better were: The first was the reception by the staff, it's not that I want a 5-star welcome but at least a smile. They greet you with a tired face and little tolerance. I clarify that they are not rude or anything but it would not take away some of their kindness and customer service. The second is cleanliness and order. I've been to other hostels and there really is a lot of difference. Here everything was dirty and you couldn't walk in the room because of so many things that were there from the other room mates. I think they do not verify that the rules can actually be carried out.

    I think the location is quite good because it is very central to the other tourist spots.

    There are people that live there full time so the rooms are packed with their stuff. The rooms are pretty small so it made it hard to put my stuff somewhere. The bunk beds weren’t the best. Reeeeally need to have aircon in there- it was absolutely boiling in that room.

    Amazing location- path straight to the beach!! Great communal kitchen. Nice and clean. Good parking. Close to the pub.

    For the price we paid it was not good enough at all. The reception was terrible. The sheets had stains on them. And there was no air con and they had one fan but it hardly moved the air around.

    The beds were very comfortable.

    It was a bit noisy, people are literally always walking and chatting in front of your window. The kitchen was a chaos and it wasn't clean at all. There was no aircon.

    The area is nice, exactly next to the beach. A welcome drink was included and Frank was fantastic with the pick up and the drop off at the Bus station (which is actually pretty far from the place).
