The rooms are very small and basic and in need of a lick of paint. The room was clean and the bedding crisp and white. Don't expect any amenities in your room, they are basic and in a communal area in the hall. But that is explained in the room described. The showers and toilets are also communal and along the hall and are nice and clean. We were fortunate enough be given free upgrade to the Delux Ensuite Queen room by the owner of the hotel. This was very spacious bedroom with a very large bathroom. The amenities are in a small kitchen area shared with two other rooms. All of the staff were very friendly, professional and fun.

Room was fine for the cost. Shared showers needed maintenance, as lights wouldn’t work, and water pressure was questionable.
