Pros:

Only good thing really was that it was close to the airport

Cons:

The room first didn’t look anything like in the pictures, damaged and broken doors, and door frames
The photos on the website is very old
The please wasn’t clean, we had to wash most of the dishes as the limited diches that was there still had the previous people food on it.
We had to go and ask for cutlery as there wasn’t what we needed like small spoons.
Old food was left in the fridge from the previous people and not cleaned out.
Our 4 year old found prescribed medication still in the one bedroom from previous people.
There was rubbish in the courtyard when we got there.
When they collected the towels in the morning it was never replaced with the same number of towels, so we were always short.
This is just but naming a few things and if I knew the site allowed for photos to be added I would have taken photos to add to the review

Pros:

It is situated close enough to the airport. Airport shuttle stop is a bonus.

Cons:

It needs a major upgrade.
Bathroom dirty looking, with uneven paint on the walls like they tried to cover up something instead of painting evenly. No hotwater for early morning shower. Skylight in bathroom has never had a clean.
Tv didnt work, tv remote held together with cellotape, aircon remote needs new batteries, 3rd single bed had no mattress protector, blankets had small blood stains, no hand towels in bathroom, bath towels old and mismatched. A huge rubbish bin for what?? Goodness knows..weird..yeah, I wouldn't stay there again. Does cheap have to mean nasty?? Hmm
