In the advertising the room it mentions breakfast included this was not the case and i am very much upset about this fall advertising. ##### Nadine Ruby Ruthlin Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vincent 10 Feb 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pics of the property are misleading. The rooms are very basic. Dated and sparse. I arrived at 3pm and the room was not ready. I had to wait until 5pm as the cleaners were out. I never saw any cleaners and my room was never freshened for the 4 days. There was also never anyone at the front desk. Never! Had to clean hair out of the drain pipe in order for shower to drain. There was a strong smell of marijuana coming from rooms, even though it was a no smoking property. No soap was provided so I had to walk down the street at 10pm looking for some. It really was a bad experience. I was warned but had booked beforehand and the booking was nonrefundable. I'm not one to complain and I've stayed in some unusual places but I will never stay here again. ##### Vincent Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara-Mahalia 13 Sept 2025 ##### Tara-Mahalia Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Zinae 17 Apr 2025 ##### Zinae Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tamara 10 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Tamara Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harry 14 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities ##### Harry Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Alnmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alnmouth-Hotels.d6084814.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Market House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-Market-House.h37797080.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sands Barbados All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-The-Sands-Barbados-All-Inclusive.h12637259.Hotel-Information) > > [Sugar Bay Barbados - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hastings-Hotels-Sugar-Bay-Barbados-All-Inclusive.h10023253.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in South Sri Lanka Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-South-Sri-Lanka-Coast-Hotels.s50-0-d6055128.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Seaforth Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Seaforth-Barbados.h10085830.Hotel-Information) > > [Coconut Court Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hastings-Hotels-Coconut-Court-Beach-Hotel.h852938.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Dunfermline Crossford Keavil House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Dunfermline-Crossford-Keavil-House-Hotel.h26616.Hotel-Information) > > [Melrose Beach Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Melrose-Beach-Apartments.h10253354.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Bliss Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-The-Royal-Bliss-Barbados.h80368508.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Arches Boutique Hotel Barbados - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oistins-Hotels-Little-Arches-Boutique-Hotel-Barbados-Adults-Only.h978363.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Bridgetown, Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hastings-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Bridgetown.h4071718.Hotel-Information) > > [Butterfly Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oistins-Hotels-Butterfly-Beach-Hotel.h118715.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tytherington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Macclesfield-Hotels-The-Tytherington.h45574526.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Garden Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Palm-Garden-Hotel.h6644345.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury villa with direct beach access on Freights Bay surf Beach Barbados](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oistins-Hotels-Luxury-Villa-With-Direct-Beach-Access-On-Freights-Bay-Surf-Beach-Barbados.h27123342.Hotel-Information) > > [Leith Court Beachfront Apartments by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Leith-Court-Beachfront-Apartments.h17149896.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sands Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worthing-Hotels-Coral-Sands-Beach-Resort.h4024474.Hotel-Information) > > [Yellow Bird Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lawrence-Gap-Hotels-Yellow-Bird-Hotel.h1287831.Hotel-Information) > > [The Abidah by Accra - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oistins-Hotels-The-Abidah-By-Accra-Adults-Only.h21962411.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Derby (EMA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/ema/belfast-to-east-midlands) ### Activities ### Packages > [Waikoloa Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waikoloa.d183158.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Italy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/beach-holidays/86/Italy) ### General ---
