Apathy

2.0

I stayed at Isangogate for 3 nights. The place is beautiful; the services were poor. I will not go back. The staff are unfriendly. The shower is such that you waste a lot of water before the hot water starts running. The water pressure is low. The dining experience was sub-par from the quality of food, and service.

Very nice Place

10.0

It was lovely staying at Isango, i enjoyed my stay there...the breakfast was so tasty and definitely a highlight. The dinner option is not so good, very oily and the meat is really bad but for lunch the urger was great. The rooms are 10 out of 10. very clean, spacious and very trendy.

Very bad

2.0

We checked in to Isango Gate expecting a luxurious experience as it’s advertised as a boutique Hotel. We very soon realised that it looked nice on the outside but was not so nice on the inside. The accomodation is across from student accommodation, and they are so loud throughout the night that you don’t get much rest. We were told they will look for another room for us but no action, the lights and wiring in the room is not right, lights flicker when switched are off, also disturb your sleep. The water pressure is bad and water trickles out the shower. This should not be charged at premium rates, but rather a quarter of the price they are charging. Location is close to the beach, that’s the only pro. But service, quality of the building, service and food ( food is covered in oil and coffee is really bad) this is not 4 star quality. It doesn’t come close. And the cherry on top is the students who are relentless and inconsiderate with the noise levels.

I had the pleasure of spending Christmas day here on the day of my son's christening. What the staff pulled off was amazing, professional and worthy of gloating about. From reception to rooms and meals. They were just brilliant. Pick this one anytime 😍😍😍
