2/10 Poor

Dont stay until you read.
the shared shower was filthy and would of taken well over an hour of cleaning to get it up to any standard of use. Also there was no sink to wash your hands after using toilet so your hands would remain unwashed until you got back to your room. the bannisters couldn't possibly be sanitised as all guests would have had to use it with unwashed hands after toilet. Nasty.
