The place just really needs a proper renovation. Everything is so old and just dirty. The first room I got assigned smelled like mold and I could barely breath. I got a different room but still the air was pretty bad and the bed was super squeaky. I had to literally insist to get a room key and got asked 'to please share the key with my roomate'... like never had something like this before.

當地就這一家旅社,給我們的家庭房間倒是很非常好 出門對面 可以經過一片有點魔幻感覺的樹林,去到湖邊。居然那裡有個”SHANGHAI BAY”. 後來我們發現 旅舍門前的路 叫 “SHAN GHAI RD”,相詢一番,卻沒有人可以説出由來…

Communal kitchen could be improved. Rather small for number of users.
Tea and coffee would be appreciated in room. No internet in our room

Hotel is something out a wild west movie.
No cellphone coverage and limited wifi only if near the main building.
Mondays the place is closed all locked up.
My room was great tho had everything I needed. Clean and tidy. Ensuite was excellent clean and shower was hot.
Excellent vegetarian burger and chips.

Wasn't a huge fan of this place. The staff weren't very friendly and the sign says happy hour until 8:30, but they said it now ends at 8. They overcharged burgers for multiple people in our group. The property is rundown and the doors are both hard to open and loud. I'd never recommend staying here. They clearly take advantage of tourists and overcharge everything they can.

Loved our stay but found the restaurant and bar being closed on the Mondays a bit of a bummer and also the alcohol ban in rooms/on site was a surprise! However food was great the night we did eat there and the staff were all lovely and helpful. I imagine in summer it would be a great vibe. Beach just a stones throw away which was fabulous. Rooms were perfectly adequate for what we needed...clean..modern bathroom with great water pressure in the shower. We would definitely stay again
