“Rude owner, grotty hotel, avoid like the plague!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2008

A friend and I toured for 3 months visiting 8 different countries in Eastern and Western Europe and this was by far the worst place we stayed in on the whole trip.

The owner seemed more interested in serving fast food to passing customers or chatting to her friends in the bar than welcoming or assisting her guests. She made little effort to communicate with us throughout our stay, luckily we could speak some basic French but other guests were left to struggle when it came to dealing with the staff.

This property is essentially a fast food cafe with a run-down chalet hotel attached. We did not get the type of room we requested. Rooms are tiny with lights and television which barely work, the bathroom had no door and the shower had no curtain or any means of holding the shower head in place, which means that water goes everywhere and soaks the threadbare towels. Rooms are packed in and there is constant noise from doors banging and the busy main road right outside.

The breakfast was overpriced and almost as small as the room. In the end we left early to find somewhere more hospitable, the owner took exception to this and started arguing at us, we were not given any receipt and found out some time later that as a parting gesture they had overcharged our credit card!

An appalling experience which discredits the owner's trade and nation. And I am disappointed but not surprised to read from the other reviews that I am not the only person, Irish, French or English, to feel this way about this hotel and its owners.

“Disappointing and not what we expected”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2008

Booked via Expedia and in hindsight we should have been suspicious as the price was very cheap for the area. This was the worst place we have ever stayed in and Expedia moved us after one night. On arrival it was clear that this was no more than a cafe serving chips with a selection of chalets in the grounds. We had to wait 20 minutes for the owner to stop serving chips to greet us and when we were shown to our room, we immediately asked if another was available. A shabby chalet with a disgusting bathroom greeted us. The floor and wall tiles were cracked and the shower had no holder so you had to hold the shower over you by hand. there was no cubicle just a flimsy curtain so showering involved flooding the dirty floor in the bathroom and then having to slosh about with towels to mop it up. There was a fridge with a foul smell. To be positive the bed was clean and the auberge was across the road from the beach. We complained and the owner explained that it was good value for the money, however we would have preferred to have paid more for better so we moved on after only one night. This accommodation might suit backpackers or people who want absolutely basic accommodation near the beach but I would suggest for most people it would be a disappointment.
