Basic needs were missing

I liked the room, it was neat and clean and welcoming.

I used cold water as the tap made terrible noise when i chosw hot water in the evening. I informed the staff member and he assited me after i took a cold bath. The Aircon was not functioning as well. I took a cold shwer again in the morning as there was load shedding.

A good homey stay

7.0

Location is in a good spot. The breakfast was nice.

The floors creak a lot. So if someone is walking on the top floor or making any kind of movement, it will disturb your sleep.
