The property owner was super accommodating and gave me a free upgrade to a huge ensuite bedroom, much appreciated! It's quieter part of town, and still walkable to the beach, perfect!

Very disappointed
Absolutely shocking place to stay definitely not is advertised on any of the pictures. Drawers broken, tobacco in the top draw, stains on the floor and no milk for refreshments in the morning. Think money spent on soap and shower gel more than on the room. Small, dinghy and no room. I know it was advertised as a budget room but I'm sure the homeless on the streets had better accomodation. Ended up moving after 1 night and paying for another room in a other hotel.

Interesting
Booked this hotel as it was low cost for the one night but didn’t expect it to be such a sh*t hole. Turns out there’s 2 Driftwood hotels in the area which caused confusion. Got to our Driftwood hotel and was greeted by a woman from the neighbouring ‘hotel’ she let us in and showed us the Wi-Fi code and then left. Both doors for the rooms booked weren’t secure and could be VERY easily accessed. Thankfully we were staying with a trusted male friend but if we weren’t we wouldn’t have stayed overnight. Very noisy, rooms were appalling and rundown. Wi-Fi didn’t work and the bathrooms were a state. No soap in the bathroom or working water in the sinks. Please do yourself a favour and don’t book.

Really bad. Won’t be staying here again
Staff were friendly but beds hard as anything, couldn’t have food or drink in the place and there’s no bar when they said we have to purchase stuff in the bar. Hardly any plug sockets. Shower broken. We had no towels. Noise in the morning and forced to check out at 11am leaving us with nowhere to go for the day.
