- Sanggeul (8/5): - Everything was there. Close to main street for food and drink. Very clean and neat room. No bath plug in the bath tub. Is that for stopping people taking a bath? Or only accidentally missing bath plug...? Also sofa had its time. Its time to change..
- Jo-anne B (5/5): location great but room tired - location great Bed very uncomfortable with very little shower pressure in bathroom. Facilities tired and in need of refurbishment.
- William (8/5): -
- Chris (7/5): -
- Ronny (6/5): Basic accomodation ok for one night. - Close to everything, very helpful owners I booked a ground floor having recently had knee surgery. When we arrived, we were given an upstairs room, which had to be changed back to a ground floor. Was told it was a spa room but spa didn’t work but shower did. Not realising, shower was above spa! I couldn’t climb in for shower, as sides sloped down to middle & was too dangerous for me. Smell of cooking garlic filled bathroom in the morning, not sure if it was from exhaust fan. Bed was too small for us, and sides dipped, so you felt you were going to fall out.

The restaurant was good
Friendly staff
Nice food
Very cold beer Seems it needs some maintenance
Leaking bathroom tap and needs a new smart tv so wifi can be used.
- Tyler (6/5): Cheap but very noisy. - Staff were nice and facilities were as expected. The room was very noisy from outside noise. A lot of loud traffic, drag racing etc that went on all night. The hotel can't control that, but unfortunately the lack of soundproofing made it difficult to sleep.
