Disappointing
Traveller Type:
  : location
  : Despite the fact that a few days earlier we said at what time we will be at the hotel (2:30 pm), even the same day- just after arrival we called to confirm it....and when we arrived at the hotel we did not find anyone- abandoned place - it seemed quite strange. We called management and it turned out that our room is open- we could go there but there was no key!:/ We had to wait till 6 pm to get our keys....but it was still somehow acceptable....while the cleanliness of the building was not acceptable. There were a lot of cockroaches in the room! During the night we killed around 30...we couldn't sleep... we wanted to report it at the reception but of course no one was there...We reported it via SMS and early morning called management...after very hard night we had to wait till 12 for the arrival of a person from the hotel. Of course we got full refund but no one will return to us this lost, full of stress time....

  : great ocean view, location of building, free car park, confortable bed, close to bakery or grocery, clean appartment. Perfect appartement for these who spend active time and come back after sunset
  : Lack of wine glasses, limited items to cook in appartment (eg. no oven), appartment is on east side so after 11h00 its just cold on the balcony as you dont have sun- but remember we were in January :)

  : The location and the view on the ocean.
  : Street parking as there is just few places by the hotel, but mostly used by residents. In case you come later it is full, you can park in the paid parking house nearby or far away on a street then.

  : We liked the view from the balcony & that it was good value
  : Noisy fridge. Leaky bathroom sink trap when plug is pulled. Small hot water tank which runs out of hot water whilst showering.

Poor
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Location was great and facing the ocean. Very central as well, close to shops, restaurants and public pool.
  : Unfortunately apart from the convenience of location, the apartment/building is very dated and dirty. Very run down and needs immediate updating. Building not well maintained and security breach as access reader into level 1 (car park side) is damaged and not replaced so anyone can walk in.Building/room condition - very dated and old. Lights in corridor leading to flat have burnt out but not replaced. Condition of room is very dated (very 70s). Sliding door very flimsy and because located near ocean, very windy hence the noise of door rattling against the frame at night. Sliding door not double glazed and doubt they were ever replaced. Windows in same condition. Can be very noisy in the morning due to windows and sliding doors not being double glazed.There's no curtains but just thin layer of liners so when sun rises very early in the morning, the room lights up completely and very difficult to rest properly.Toilet is ok. There's a huge crack under the toilet seat and there's signs of water ingress in the ceiling (bubbling of plaster) right above bathtub. There's bit of mould.Hot plate not working. Landlord mentioned upon check in it is due to be replaced. But, upon checking reviews, this has been going on for awhile and still no replacement.Fridge not maintained, huge ice crystals (picture)Cleanliness - very dusty corridors and room. Not sure if room was dusted and cleaned before we moved in but I assumed it was cleaned after the previous guest(s) moved out and never touched again? Floor was very dusty upon check in, hanging light above dining table also very dusty and greasy (refer to picture with wet wipes). The bed sheets so dusty we could not breathe properly at night due to dust, itched throughout the night. Had to deep clean flat on our own. Mopped floor 3 times and wash sheets. Washing machine took forever to complete (4 hours) cycle (due to old age). Pretty sure needs replacing.

  : Good location with sea view balcony. Hosts were exceptional and very helpful throughout our stay.
  : Parking is a big issue there if you have a car rental. There is paid parking down the road but unfortunately we found out the hard way that the car park closes at midnight and does not open until 8am. An inconvenience if planning on getting up early.
