The room was nice and beds good but unfortunately the dinner was discusting. I took the special South African dish and the beef was not fresh, the sausage not fully cooked, the chicken a little smelly. I should have returned the whole meal but the vegetables and fries were okay and we were tired.

Exceptional Value and Comfort

Incredible price on a great location. Not as fancy )or expensive) as the nearby Intercontinental (we stayed in both) but a tremendous value. Room was very comfortable and service quite good. Restaurant food and breakfast buffet was better than the Intercontinental. Location is great.
