I didn't rate it a 1 for cleanliness as the room had been cleaned, however the carpet is stained the couch grubby & everything is just years old & worn out. I couldn't turn the cold water tap on at all in the shower. The toilet kept filling after each flush if you didn’t repeatedly push the button. I couldn't stop sneezing from dust, probably in the curtains. It hasn't been refurbished since it was built decades ago. The couch is completely worn out & grubby from years of use. I dreaded going to bed as I thought it's going to be like the other furniture, I was surprised that the bed at least was fine. The kitchen supplies ie bar fridge microwave were all fine.The main light in the room was so dim I had to use my phone's torch to see inside my suitcase properly. If I had to rate it overall I would give it a 1.5 & that's for the bed & that it had been cleaned. It's just completely worn out & outdated & apart from the bed needs new furnishings, it all felt grubby.

Worst place ever, should be illegal to continue running it. Needs to be demolished. We left after 20min and returned home with our children on Christmas day. The places website are reviews are all old and they took down our reviews straight away. Really deceitful.

Location was convenient for our stay and maybe it's a case of if the price seems too good to be true it probably is. It was nice that the air-conditioner was on so the room was already cool on a hot day. One bed had stained sheets, the room had an off-putting smell, the crockery/ cups weren't clean so had to go get dishwashing liquid to use them, badly stained chair fabric, just didn't feel clean and overall sanitary.

This room was very dirty upon arrival. There was no sink in the kitchen area to wash our dishes. The shower leaked unless you worked out to switch it off and then switch it back the other way a little. The neighbours put rubbish outside when they left which wasn't collected until many hours later. The curtains didn't cover the window. There was a burn out done in the car park which threw stones on all our cars. For the price we paid it was definitely one of the worst places we've stayed in, and we travel around a lot.
