    It was a shared toilet for the whole guest house which was a very frustrating in the morning especially for the price we paid.

    It was close to the centre of town, the bed was comfy and the breakfast was ok

    The room was clean, The mattress on the 2 x bed wasn't that great, It could have had a nice touch up of paint on the walls and ceiling to take dirty look away, Plus the TV wasn't working at all also, A part from that it was ok!!!

    The hotel was ok and was in a good location in town near shops and that...

    Old and tired. The beds were awful. The room was tiny. It was a last minute booking, so we were grateful to find a place a reasonable price, and this place is okay.

    Great location. The cleaning lady who was new was a really helpful and friendly person, thanks. The continental breakfast and coffee were above average.

    The mattresses were old, lumpy and uncomfortable. The room had an unpleasant smell when we arrived, although after keeping the window open all night and the next day, it was okay. The room and bathroom seemed clean, but the shower had a lot of mold along the inside shower door frame (in fairness, perhaps the cleaners haven’t noticed, because you can only see it from the inside with the shower doors closed). We never saw the owners/hosts at all. All communications were through email. The lady from the hotel next door checked us in. Breakfast was a do-it-yourself affair with packaged or wrapped goods and no one in sight to ask for anything if needed (for example, my coffee cup was dirty but I didn’t know where to get another one, and we wanted warm (not cold) milk for our son but didn’t know how to go about getting that), and we were instructed to just leave our key upon departure. A bit of human contact would’ve been nice.

    Very conveniently located. Large bathroom.
