Older hotel with a delightful pool area and helpful friendly service. Rooms are a little tired but comfortable enough. Each room I saw had 2 double beds in it. The A/C did not work in the first room but I was promptly moved to another one. The old A/C in the second room took a bit of time to get... More

As reported by others before, this is a great-price hotel in a great location with a really-fun bar. But wait!...There's more! Gael & her happy staff will ensure that your stay is fun & inclusive or quiet & individual. It's that easy and it works so well. For price & location, and the addition of the DucksNutz Bar & Grill,... More

Ok - here's the deal. Yes, the rooms are run down. Hence Gael's name choice - The Ugly Duckling. But they are clean, the linens are fresh, and the beds are very comfy. Besides - the best part of this place is the Ducks Nutz - the pub/restaurant at the hotel. You won't spend much time in your room once... More

The only possitive comment I have about this dump is the friendliness of the staff. The rooms are old fashioned with flaking paint and everything has a "used" feeling to it. Although clean linen is provided daily, the matresses are old, stained and uncomfortable. The bathroom was in a shockingly poor condition. So much so, that for the full duration... More

Stayed here for a night as a last minute decision as my prebooked room in another top rated guesthouse had no water running that day. Easy walk to the beach through a private fare. Lot of laundry, tour operators, transport options outside the door. The restaurant is teeming with aussies in the night. There was even a birthday party going... More
