Nothing. Do not stay at this accommodation especially for the price

The whole facility is not up to standard. Broken toilet, no curtains or blinds on windows, not cleaned properly and way overpriced for the whole place. Worse than the cheapest backpackers and priced at 4 start rates. Would not recommend even to my worst enemy. Don't book this accommodation under any circumstances. On the website Wifi is available and free. There is no wifi available.
