Booked hotel having read 'Hot Sun, Cool Shadow' (Angela Murrils) in which its mentioned. Described as basic but pleasent. I am used to camping, hiking and hostels but this place was a disgrace- do not even think about staying here. The reception area was very dark, the check in desk was run by young teenage boys who appeared more interested in watching tv. The stair carpet was threadbare, an unpleasant smell loitered in the hall way and public area, our room could not be locked, the bedcovers were stained, the floor was sticky, towles dirty and what appeared to be pubic hairs in the sink. The toilet, bath and handbasin were stained. Quiet frankly it made me feel sick. My french is somewhat limited but I think the boys understood I would not be staying here - walked out within 3 minutes and required a stiff drink to recover. Stayed in more expensive Hotel round the corner - fantastic - see review. Morale = check Trip advisor, book was 6 years old, things have changed. Neil Steff.
