This old pub was probably built in the late 1890’s. And not has been spent on keeping it good. But despite that it was functional for what we wanted , which was just an overnight quick stop. The facilities are shared. And the floorboards do creak a lot, but at $200 for 3 people it was good and the staff, a lovely Indian family, were very nice.

As a previous review stated there is nothing grand about this hotel!! I am surprised it passes inspections it is so rundown with daylight blowing through the balcony doors were the wood has rotted and broken away. On arrival our room must of had about 20 flies buzzing around in it. Even they had gone by the time we returned having found it was there or nowhere to stay. Having said that the bed was comfortable and the sheets were well laundered and lovely to sleep in. But my advice to anyone is that this is just a very poor hostel not a hotel, think seriously before booking.

The bathroom was shared, there were not enough blankets, and there were insufficient amenities like toilet paper. It was more like a hostel than a hotel. Nonetheless, it was cheap, and the staff was pleasant, so for the price, it is acceptable.
