We stayed at the Legend Cave Hotel Dec 25 & 26. Despite the good location and ok service, the rooms were awful.
I was allocated a room just next to the public toilet and managed to swop with someone travelling in the same group who wanted to be next door to his parents.
Living in a cave hotel sounds nice and fun but it just isn't. Our room stank of sewage, there were tiny bugs flying around, it was dusty, the carpets were filthy, the bed mattress soft, and it looked like the bed covers have never been washed. The bathroom was dirty, the bath tub, basin and toilet bowls were brown and probably have not been scrubbed for the longest time. The were smaill nails in the wall that don't serve any purpose so be careful how you walk.
The TV was located at an odd angle to the bed so we had to place it on the floor to watch. One minute the heater was switched off and the next, it was switched on high. A dog was chained downstairs and it barked and howled incessantly each night so we could not get any sleep.
The food was cold and the variety and standard was poor.
Sadly, the good location, nice view and moderately helpful staff could not make up for the lousy room experience.
