Muy malo
Pros:

La ubicación.

Cons:

Es un bar con habitaciones en la parte de arriba. Las habitaciones son muy muy pequeñas. El cuarto de baño estaba muy sucio. La ducha asquerosa. El lavabo diminuto. . Todo oxidado y amarillo. Las toallas también estaban sucias. Amarillas y negras. No lo recomiendo a nadie con un mínimo de higiene.

It was terrible & I wouldn't put my dog there. We would like a refund please.
Pros:

The cafe was ok as was the bar area. It was a good location close to the main street which is why we chose this accom.

Cons:

The room was disgusting & nothing like the advertised pictures on your site. The whole upstairs accom used to be a backpackers' & nothing has been done to clean it up or refurbish. The room was so small there was nowhere to put our cases or move freely and the stairway intruded into the side wall further reducing the room space. The double bed was 2 singles pushed together against a wall at right angles which didn't meet in the middle. Paint and timber cladding on the walls & floor was peeling & old. The bathroom was dirty & there was mould on the tiles, floor, & bath. The basin taps were old and loose there wasn't a proper tap fitting on the shower. The bath mat was in the bath & there was dirty muck under it so didn't have a shower/bath. I asked for another room & was told they were all like that. I complained to the manager Micheal & asked for a refund of our money (paid in advance) 96.30 Euro but was told I would have to go through you & lodge a complaint so given the place was so misrepresented we request a full refund. I have photos but don't know how to include them here.
