I did not appreciate having to use a communal shower and toilet.

Beautiful location however the room was very basic. Mattress was plastic covered and walls scuffed with a well worn carpet. Mould was seen in the paper towel dispenser and the bathroom was old and dated. The room was very hot, which made it difficult to sleep. Positively the coffee in the cafe was delicious. Overall if I had paid £50 for the room I would have been satisfied but the price was double this!
