“convenient location but poor service”
+Convenient location at relatively good rate
−Despite having paid upfront in full before my guest arrived he wasn’t allowed to check in as reception staff were unhelpful. Only sorted out when i phoned manager/owner. Generally poor reception/front desk staff.

“I had happy moments with my family”
+Lovely staff, very good location. I loved that there was a spa. Very good for those going with family.
−A very basic room, which makes it overpriced. Nothing special about the breakfast; it lacked flavor.

+Location good
−Staff hardly spoke English ans they had to use the Google translator to speak which was hard and confusing. Tolet very dirty and shower didn't work. I asked the staff there but I don't think they understood me. So I asked them to come and see the shower and as they drainage didn't work so water allover. Room very cold to the extend now I have a bad cold and off feom work.

“I would not recommend”
+Location
−hotel door was locked at entry no staff at front desk to let me in, had to wait for them to show up as door buzzer was not working Booking time was as 3pm i arrived 4pm a d i couldn’t get in because no one was at the front desk only one person working the desk they needed at least one extra staff member in my opinion. Owner of hotel doesn’t know how to use booking app - i booked hotel so i can pay on the day she wanted me to share my card details with her over speaker phone i didnt like that i suggested using booking app and we used that at the end there was no issue with payment from the beginning just simply needed to pay on day. Over all poor management in my opinion first impression was not good at all. No soap provided in shower. Need staff at front desk at all time during the day at least.

“The location is average, apart from that this property sucks, hygiene is a major issue, also Not worth for money, until”
+The location is average, apart from that this property sucks, hygiene is a major issue, also Not worth for money, until it is free, please don’t book this property they will say parking is free but then they will charge you, so be aware. In short Unhygienic, bedsheet dirty, toilets choking doors broken, unwanted people have access, so safety issues as well overall all do note book it
