What the reviews say

  • A solo traveller reported extremely poor customer service, describing reception staff as having significant attitude problems and lacking basic professional etiquette.
  • One woman noted that despite submitting a written request for a quiet, private room during low season, she was assigned a room near reception that offered neither privacy nor peace.
  • The constant traffic noise from Louis Botha Avenue made sleep difficult at any hour of the day or night.
  • Located on Louis Botha Avenue, a main road with constant traffic noise regardless of time of day. Multiple homeless individuals sleep on the street, impacting the surrounding area's atmosphere.
  • Rooms near the reception area lack privacy and quiet despite low occupancy during off-season periods.
  • Basic rooms have no air conditioning or fans even in 30-40°C weather, with staff stating fans are not included in standard bookings. Rooms use wide 3-pin round power outlets incompatible with standard universal adapters.
  • No early check-in without paying nearly a full day's rate, no luggage storage permitted, and WiFi is weak and unreliable. Staff enter rooms while guests are away without clear notification.
  • Basic amenities like bath towels are not provided in standard rooms, only half rolls of toilet paper supplied, and no USB charging ports available.
