Hot, dirty and light switch pushed in
Not much
This was place was horrible. I stayed for four nights and NOT ONCE was my room cleaned, despite me asking for this. I messaged management requesting new towels, pillowcases and bed sheet cover due to sweating. I never got these items. My room had black mould in the curtains and on the windowsill. The mattress had some weird plastic covering under the sheet which made me overheat and sweat throughout the nights. The bathroom toilet seat paint was peeling and had gone an off yellow colour (I put toilet paper over it before going to the toilet because it was really gross). It also looked like mould was growing on the toilet seat. The floors were slimy so I wore thongs the whole time. At night the heat was so incredibly bad. My room had only one fan and no fly screen on the window, so had to close the window which made things worse. The bathroom light switch was pushed in and it was scary as I was worried it would electrocute me . Unfortunately my experience at this hotel was really negative and I don’t recommend it at all. Do yourself a favour and do not stay here, you will regret it.

Within walking distance from the pier.
Great location less than 10 minutes walk from the pier. Big fan room, double bed, en-suite toilet and shower. Comfortable bed slept soundly, quiet location. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Good value for money.
No problem’s.

Too hot to stay even one night
Very cheap, walkable from pier with backpacks. Shops near by, comfy bed and pillows. Clean floors and sheets. I read reviews about ants in the bathroom and our bathroom was clean and ant free luckily. Free towels, coat hangers, shower was nice when it worked.
IT IS TOO HOT TO STAY HERE. Only had access to a fan it was so hot but then the electrics went off during the night and early hours which stopped the fan, plugs, water, shower, toilet flush from working. This has been my worst nights sleep since backpacking because it was just too hot to get to sleep. Reception was empty when we arrived but a guy came out shortly after. No kettle and fridge although that isn’t advertised we knew it was a basic stay.

Disappointing
A lot of mold, if you keep the window open at all time its not so much of a bother but with the window closed I got a headache. But I guess you get what you pay for :)

Not worth it.
Location is close to shop and pier/dive shops/places to eat.
This place really was awful. We booked as it was so cheap. It was SO HOT. 1 fan in the room is just unbearable, it was so hot and muggy. The walls were dirty, the place is shabby and the bathroom was terrible. Broken toilet and very dirty. Years of grime. We really do have low backpackers standards but we had to move after 'sleeping' here as it was so hot. Staff presence is basically non existent.

Superb
The crew is really sweet and helpful. We were allowed to check-in in the middle of the night, although we had just booked the following night.
