The hotel exceeded my expectations with reasonable prices for quality furnishings, a massive flat-screen TV, coffee maker, and free WIFI in the rooms. However, the evening was not warm despite the heater being on, and there was a party by the pool area for Human Rights Day.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were super clean and spacious, but there was a bad smell and a broken chair near the desk. The staff offered excellent service, going above and beyond to make me feel like a five-star guest. The location was central to shopping centers and fantastic restaurants, though it was in an industrial area with limited amenities. The dining was decent with a good selection of food. The facilities were satisfactory, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautiful, spacious, clean, and welcoming, ensuring a good night's rest to start the day with a smile. However, the absence of milk sachets was a letdown, as it's usually expected in hotels. On the plus side, the rooms are spacious, and the parking facilities are great.

The hotel is ideally located near Balito, making it convenient for outings and relaxation. The rooms lacked essentials like soap and there was a noise issue when opening the windows, but their cleanliness and spaciousness matched global standards. The friendly staff, especially Nomkhosi Mchunu at the reception, were welcoming and attentive. The dining experience had some hiccups, and the additional glass charge seemed unreasonable. Overall, a safe and cool place with mixed views depending on the room.
