OK for an overnight stay
Allocated wrong type of room at check in, took two hours to sort out which included participation from ourselves. Breakfast was included but if you wanted eggs you had tp pay extra. Pool, fair size but no sun loungers as in picture, only tables/chairs from Oasis Restaurant! Wifi included but you had to collect a new log in code EVERY morning from reception! Check out time was 10.00am, the exact time that breakfast service ends. Tours were very expensive, half day 8000 vt, whole day 14,800 vt Location was good for an easy walk into town centre.

Environmentally conscious so beddings and towels are only changed on request. Room cleaning not done daily means used cups and teaspoons must be washed by the guest before re-use, but dishing washing liquid and a sponge are not provided. When washing hands, water splashes out of the basin and onto the bench which is quite irritating.

Stains
Very disappointed with this hotel. I was put in a room furthest from the entrance property that backed onto a busy street. To get to my room I had to walk through and past lines of the hotel washing, as well as a huge pile of discarded mattresses and pillows and other debris. In the room the couch was broken in parts and covered in stains. The towels were thread bare. The worst part, when I went to go to bed and pulled back the top sheet, there was a huge stain on the bottom sheet - I had to pull off the top sheet and wrap myself in it to lay on the bed with some protection.
