Hot water. I know what i paid for the night, but i have been to places before at this price and it was much more comfortable.

There was no teaspoons for the hot drinks. There was only one sugar. The bathroom wasn't that clean. Even though it was a small room, it took ages for it to heat up.

The photos on the website didn't match our view. Out our window was a broken down car in an overgrown property not a waterfront property. The shower was not hot. The hot tap only got to warm. The door lock to the property needs fixing you needed 2 hands to open the door. You need to drive to everywhere the property is out of town not close to anything.
