Reviews and Ratings
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.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with friendly staff in a convenient location close to shopping malls and attractions. Rooms are spacious and well-equipped, though some cleaning issues in the bathroom. Dining options were limited but the tropical fruits were a nice touch.
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.
My stay at the hotel had its positives and negatives. The room was clean and the bed was comfy, but the lack of a nice view was a downside for me. The service was a mix of friendly and not-so-friendly encounters. The location was safe, cool, and suitable for various types of travelers. The dining experience had its ups and downs, and the facilities offered were decent.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were not absolutely clean at first, and I had to fix them myself, but they turned out to be large and comfortable, equipped with conveniences like a mini bar fridge, microwave, ironing board, and iron that you don't usually find in other hotels.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is convenient, close to shops and the beach, but the rooms are showing some wear and tear. The service was a bit inconsistent, and the dining experience was forgettable. Overall, it was an average stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located near main shops and the beach, offering safety and a cool ambiance. The rooms are spacious and equipped with a microwave and mini-fridge, although some maintenance issues were noted. The staff, including the helpful Nomkhosi Mchunu at reception, are friendly and efficient.
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.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and neat with convenient amenities like a microwave and fridge, but there was a bad smell lingering and a broken chair near the desk. The service was exceptional, with very friendly and helpful staff. The location was fantastic, especially for those looking for a peaceful retreat. The dining experience was not up to par, lacking in value for money. The facilities were decent, although some aspects could be improved.
