Guest House Steel

There are several apartments at guesthouse Steel. I booked the studio so this review applies only to that apartment. The location is good with easy access to buses to the old town and the port, and only 30 minutes walk to the old town.There is a swimming area at the bottom of the street (rocks, it could not be called a beach) and the owner told us we were able to use the pool in the adjacent hotel, to which there was an access. The terrace was nice with a pretty adjacent garden, but when sitting on the terrace only a small sliver of sea is visible. The bed was large and comfortable. There was a good air-conditioner in the bedroom. The kitchen appeared to be adequately equipped. The apartment was clean.

Where shall I start? I had booked a room with two beds. When we arrived and Emily let us in I asked for the sofa bed to be made up but she said no! She said “you are mother and daughter, you can share the bed”!!! In the bedroom the window could not be secured as the handle attached to the latch did not work properly. This meant that the room was not secure enough for us to leave valuables in, and on windy days the window blew open at several times.The kitchen and bathroom are separated only by a curtain. The bathroom is dated. The bath has a shower attachment but the showerhead had obviously been replaced and was incompatible with the wall bracket so it was impossible to shower without holding the shower head all the time. Added to that there is no shower curtain or shower screen so the bathroom gets wet. The toilet paper was very nice, however when we finished the roll and replaced it with the spare which had been left on the toilet cistern, the new roll of peach coloured toilet paper appeared to have been dropped in water and then dried. It resembled cardboard and it appeared to have a mildew on it. We left it on the bin when we checked out. Also I Have played with the booking.com scoring system and even if you click the most unhappy face for all categories it still gives the place a score of 2.5 out of 10! Buyer Beware!

Very disappointed. Unfriendly owner, who did not want to help with anything. Not recommend
