8/10 Very good

When i arrived late at night i was given a room on the ground floor, windows facing onto carpark (no privacy), smelt of previous smokers, noisy air conditioner, music blaring in the corridor outside, showerhead spraying everywhere, and no overhead light in main space - just tiny lamps, so dark. The next morning i asked to change rooms and was immediately given a much better room in terms of window outlook and quieter aircon. Still no overhead light (??) and the bathroom has seen better days. But the swimming pool is lovely and in the end i had a good holiday here. Staff were very friendly and accomodating.

Fairly standard 3 star hotel. Pool was nice, building is a bit old, but well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the room windows don't open, but air conditioning is supplied.

I truly enjoyed my stay! The staff was awesome and very friendly. Great pool area, nice bar, close to Mindil beach market, and most tour operators pick up at the hotel. Thank you!

Great staff & service. Obviously an older property. The area around the pool & the bbq could be freshened up a little. Otherwise the place met our needs & we thank the staff for their hospitality.

4/10 Fair

The room smelt of mould, the curtains were extremely mouldy, there were huntsman spiders, exposed electrical wires from a broken lamp. The door was broken. Just overall very unsanitary and I probably won’t stay here again. You get what you pay for I guess.

A good budget hotel with good food & great staff. The room windows overlooking the pool could have done with a clean.They were not that bad but noticeable. 24 hour reception. Will stay again.

2/10 Poor

One of the worst accommodation experiences I’ve ever had. The shower was like a gravity fed farm shower. Only had one key to the room door and they wouldn’t give us another one. The music from the band in the dero bar down stairs kept us up. The after hour door code did not open the door. There was no deck or window in the room that could be opened. The hallway smelt like roast lamb and cigarette smoke.Very bad accommodation and would not recommend. I’ll never go back.

8/10 Very good

It was a standard room with tea/coffee facilities, ironing board, lockable safe and big TV. The room was clean, I felt safe. It is an old building with dated furniture however still provided what was needed. Unfortunately the hallway and room smelt like stale cigarette smoke. Parking was available but not allocated so you could miss out. The staff were very great 👍
