The main family room we stayed in was great. Spacious (room and kitchen/living area). Microwave, fridge and tv. Bath and shower. Really comfortable bed. Simple but comfortable.

It would have been nice if they could have added Super sport Chanel (206) they had just about every other DStv channel? The cutlery and crockery was slim pickings - and the spoons/forks were plastic. It’s simple -

I was so disappointed

4.0

The location is amazing

Received by a cleaner, no information given to her had to wait a while. That should be a guesthouse with guest house rate. It’s definitely NOT a hotel.

Guest review

7.0

The hotel was very clean and conveniently located. The staff and check in process was great.

The only issue was light coming into the rooms and some noise from other guests disrupting sleep.

The room was very cosy.very spacious. Bed was comfortable. The space was clean.

.The water was not draining from the shower. Couldn't use it. The carpet in the room needs attention. There's no microwave in the room. Could actually use one. I don't know if you can call this a hotel.. Wifi is not easily accessible.
