    There were way too many cats, my kids loved them but the smell was overpowering. I could even smell it in my room. The photos are much nicer than the actual rooms. I would say perfect property for backpackers and people who don’t really care what the room looks like, but if you want something nice and clean this isn’t the place to stay.

    The pool was great and they were very relaxed with the children playing. It was also very convenient for the port, a very short walk. You could also walk into town quite easily! There was a nice vibe.

    Bed quite uncomfortable and the aircon was very loud. You also get woken up in the night by neighbours as walls are really thin and the doors slam super loud (although we expected this). Bathroom looked as if it were in the middle of a refurbishment, bur this might have been the look they were going for?

    Great location. Pool on property. Good for backpackers.

    The shower head holder was broken. Air con only had one setting so it was difficult to control the room temperature.

    The pool area was amazing with lots of seating. The pool was very big with lots of space. The restaurant was lovely with lots of food options. Our room had a lovely balcony with nice views.

    Quite loud, the doors in the corridor would slam and it was extremely loud. I didn’t realise it was a hostel so there were a lot of young people drinking which I have no problem with but something to be aware of. A bit far from Chora. Room was basic, maybe a little overpriced for what you get

    Staff really friendly, within walking distance to the Port. Nice pool area. Fine for 1 nights stay

    The showers could use some renovating.

    The pool was clean and the top rooms had an incredible view. We stayed in some higher rated accomodation afterwards but nothing compared to the view we had from our room in this hotel. As for the hygiene, we were extremely concerned prior to booking our stay due to the reviews. By no means is it a 5 star hotel but it definitely isn’t as bad as the reviews make it out to be. For sure coming back here next year and booking a longer stay.

    Had a few ants in our room coming in from outside.

    Great value for money, was nice and close to get to the port and to town (walking distance), rooms are a little old but had everything you need and were quite clean. Our bathroom door got stuck but the friendly staff were prompt in fixing it immediately for us! The swimming pool and bar area is perfect to spend time during the hot days.

    The pool was a great bonus as it was so warm. Walking distance from the port which was helpful to get the bus around the island. Bar facilities at the hotel were great.

    The bathrooms were not very good as the shower handle and curtain were quite outdated/felt unclean.

    The location was good, as it was a really short walk to the port and Chora, and the bus stop. The beds were decent and the main area of the room was fairly clean. The staff were really nice to! You get what you pay for and I would recommend if your travel with friends and need a budget friendly place.

    Not much to be honest, had a great time.

    The negative reviews left by people here are not accurate. This place has excellent staff, adequate facilities and a fantastic pool with a bar area with cheap beers and great food. Location is fantastic with a 10 minute walk up some big stairs to get to the town. 7 minute walk from a beautiful beach and great shops.
