Were booked in for 5 nights - but left after two. This is not a resort. Location handy but extremely noisey at night. The reception and staff were ok. upstairs hallway was smelly and very tired, and there were disgarded clothes. Our room was large. However the roomed had an awful odour. Desk had formica ripped off, and it was... More

Stayed here one night on a wotif deal. Very central location but so tired and it is in no way a 'resort'. It is unfortunate they mix the backpackers and the hotel.
