The room was basic and cleanhowever we booked this because it had a pool and breakfast and WiFi - pool out of action for a good while, no breakfast and WiFi wasn’t working- which made things very difficult as with UK phones we were reliant on WiFi - with the help of the manager we managed to jump on the WiFi of the restaurant across the road eventually after I complained

7.4/10 Good! (610 reviews)
The room & bed are good, but you get what you pay for. The other guests have no respect for you, as they are often noisy & letting their room door slam at all hours of the night and pre 7am. I would recommend this place though.
