super friendly staff cosy bedroom nice pool ineffective aircon uncomfortable bed old cobwebs

The staff were super friendly, which i loved! the room i had was a nice little, cosy bedroom. i really enjoyed using the pool room. It was cool. the food was lovely (i tried the breakfast!).

The air con unit didn't really work. It wasn't keeping the room cool at all. the bed was so uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep well. i also noticed a few old cobwebs in the bathroom. It wasn't cleaned perfectly.

a satisfactory stay

clean room nice shower small tv uncomfortable bed

The landlady showed me how everything worked. The room was very clean and well presented. I was happy there was plenty of coffee and tea on the tray (and milk!). The shower worked great.

The tv in the room was SO small. I really could not see much of the picture. There were also a few things that I was not completely happy with, to be honest. The bed was really uncomfortable. I didn't sleep well.
