Friendly receptionists

The receptionists are nice and friendly, welcoming with warmth. The room was too small, with shower next to the headboard of the bed. No iron, No hairdryer inside the rooms, glasses are small and plastic, air conditioner was not working, the room was hot. The nice thing about the hotel is that there is minimum sounds and privacy is respected.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Worst stay I have ever had at a hotel.

When booking no mention about the R40 per night parking fee, and then they wanted to charge me a levy, false advertising. The Hotel is right next to the train and bus station, room very noisy, could not sleep. I left early, could not take the noise anymore. Shower sprays onto the floor everything wet. Very poor conditions for a sun hotel.

Not what I thought it was...

I was really not impressed, when we booked it was said breakfast included only to find out its R55 per person, like really you let us watch SABC TV, what happened to DSTV? I wouldn't recommend a friend to book there as for me it was the first and the last time however staff members has a very good service though always wearing a smile.Keep it up!!
