Pros:

See below

Cons:

Although I had booked and paid via the internet, on arrival I found it clean and presentable, but I only had a shared bathroom. As I am a coeliac, I needed a private bathroom, and so I was forced to find alternative accommodation.

Bad service
Pros:

Nothing at all.

Cons:

I had asked for a shuttle from the airport about 6 weeks in advance, giving my flight details and arrival time (which was latish - 11 pm). As I hadn’t received confirmation a week before I repeated my request. No reply again.
Having arrived I sent a message that I was about to enter the Customs queue and would be outside in about 20 minutes, and asked how I could identify the shuttle and where I would be picked up. No reply.
I sent numerous further requests until well after midnight.
When I finally did receive something back, it was abusive in nature, and included a number of confabulations such as that I had demanded they wait two hours for me at the airport. Since all the messages were recorded it can be plainly seen that this was just made up.
Use this place at your own peril.
