Scored 3 on cleanliness as there were some areas that were not clean; dirty ring under the soap wash on the sink, cutlery and crockery had to be cleaned before use. Only scored 4 on comfort as the mattress in the double room needs to be replaced. Not too bad for one person who could sleep in the middle, but for 2 , you would roll together.
