“Absolutely disgusting - avoid like the plague”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2007

person found this review helpful

This place is seriously gross. On first sight the rooms look ok but after a few minutes you notice that there are hairs in the bed and no bin provided, maybe they just expect you to throw all your rubbish on the floor????

The communal bathrooms are hideous; they weren't cleaned once in the whole 4 days we were there. The bin was overflowing, the shower was black from grime and they don't even provide toilet paper which is just basic! Plus the advertised 'hot' showers are ice cold.

The beds are infested with bedbugs; my boyfriend was riddled with bites by the time we left. We overheard people at breakfast "I've got so many new bites and I haven't seen a single mozzie" hmmmmm.

They list a TV and DVD as one of their facilities but its only when you arrive that you have to pay PER DVD you want to watch - and the cost is higher than that of all the DVD's on sale in the local area.

Finally, the staff are rude and are constantly trying to make up problems to cheat you out of more money. Avoid it if you possibly can.
