Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Worst hotel u’ve Stayed in but cheap!
A few tweaks and this could be a nice hotel but it was pretty awful-have stayed in hostels in Thailand much better.
Room was dirty on arrival and ‘cleaned’ only once during week stay despite sign being hung on door daily (the one time it was ‘cleaned’ we requested so at reception and all they did was change Rubbish bin & sweep floor-beds etc untouched). Previous occupants belongings left in our room showing how poor standards of cleanliness are.
Pillows without pillowcases & just a waffle sheet type thing in the way of bed covers. Breakfast very basic, you can get eggs cooked to order but that’s pretty much it apart from bread (stale/soft cereal also available!).
No hot water for showering in one of our rooms for the whole week so showered in my husband’s room (we had to book 2 rooms as weren’t allowed to share one room with our 7 & 4 year old children). Salt water from all taps including shower!
Location is okay, walkable to the marina and nice view from room.
Big problem with sound proofing-other guests coming in late at night (4am) and talking loudly until 6am almost every night and whole hotel stank of cigarette smoke despite being a no smoking hotel!
However, we paid little for the room & I guess you get what you pay for-there were no bugs in our room & the hotel does have a swimming pool (although too cold for us to use when we stayed). No English TV
Lots of staff but nobody busy doing anything! Don’t think i’d stay again or if I did it’d be because of price.
