I will be putting a review also on the wotif website. Location advertised was wrong. False advertising with the images, not one image of the room we stayed in was on your booking site. Room was disgusting, beds, sheets pillows stunk like smoke even though we asked for a non smoking room. We had to check out a day earlier due developing rash from the lack of hygiene of the property. Will be requesting a full refund from wotif. Shame on use for deceiving and false advertising. I will be taking this further

The hotel was dated, and the room was very small, in fact, the whole hotel was so small in every aspect, the reception area had seating for a maximum of 6 people only, and the breakfast room was so compact people had to wait for a very basic breakfast, cheese, boiled eggs and a very tiny pieces of bread. However, the hotel was clean and the staff tried to help, but they struggled due to the very limited or no English. I would not recommend this hotel to English speakers.

Very nice and welcoming reception. My flight landed early and my next flight was at 1am so I needed to check in 8am and check out 9pm. I called and asked if a room is ready and they said yes but when arrived it wasn’t ready yet I had to wait for an hour. But all in all it was a good experience.
