I think this property is more suited to much younger people than my 72 years. I didn’t realise this when booking. No television in room not good. Also the base of the shower was very slippery when wet. Lovely man at reception.

Good stay. I was in a one room suite and enjoyed the accommodations as well as the staff. The place has more of motel vibe. Wished there was the ability to lock items in a space in the room.

2/10 Poor
Feb 16, 2018
Very poor for the money
For almost $150 the room was very small, and very warm. No airconditioning, not even a fan.
The place is a youth hostel and older adults should not even think about staying there.

The Room was sooooo over priced. It was tiny, dirty, smelly and expensive. The service was great though.
