I wouldn’t recommend or stay there again despite very pleasant staff

3.0

Location and staff who are trying their very best

Property is very old. Definitely no longer a 4 star. Price special was meaningless without breakfast compared to a nearby 4 chain with updated facilities. Torn upholstery. Toilet was malfunctional in the first room. No hot Water on day 1 in the second room. Shower water diverter lever on the tap had to be kept pressed down while showering as the water would divert to the bath when not pressed down. No hand towels or shower mat. Unfortunate that the lift wasn’t working at our arrival but they worked through the night to fix it.

Dimakatso · ZA · 2026-07-21

The noise from the air vents was unbearable and the noise from the loitering at night was bad.

5.0

The staff was very friendly, professional and very helpful, parking arrangement and promises were met and reliable.

The outside noise on the side of room 201 and 203 was very very noisy at all times. There are vents/noisy air vents that run all time on that side, besides the street and the noisy loitering at night, we could not sleep at all with the noisy vents. There were coackroaches in the toilet. The noise from outside was the worst experiance. One cannot sleep at all. I cannot sleep with windows tightly closed and that made it worse. The carpet needs to be taken out. The hotel needs a proper upgrade

The pillow smelled of the previous persons perfume. Not enough TV channels. Too much street noises
