The place is neat and tidy. The manager is the best! Made our stay so much better. It is located in an okay spot just off the main road. The rooms and bathrooms do need a bit of work here and there but overall it is worth it for the price.

Not even sure how this is a 3 star hotel. The room wasn't very clean. Bed was terrible...I felt the springs. The showers are all in a tub. Stayed on the 2nd floor, no lift, no porter. We carried our luggage up so many uneven steps. The only decent thing was the breakfast. I wouldn't recommend the hotel for more than 1 night should no other accommodation be available. And no backup power during loadshedding.

It's our 3rd time staying here. It's an amazing place to sleep and just have breakfast. Very central and the staff is very friendly. Rooms are clean and the family room is spacious.

My sister and I stayed there for a week and I have to say that we were unimpressed and that's putting it mildly. The room wasn't very clean on arrival and for the entire duration. You can tell that someone actually came in and attempted to clean but they really don't a thorough job. The base cover had what looked like someone spilled a drink on it. The dust particles all over the room were also off putting, the dishes provided in the room are not thoroughly cleaned. There was a day where we didn't even have toilet paper in the room, and bathroom bin wasn't cleared. For a 3 star, the hotel is definitely not up to scratch. Breakfast was subpar, no thought or creativity went into it whatsoever. There is no lift, so having use the stairs on a daily basis was a nightmare, especially when carrying luggage or after a long day. It's not very child friendly and definitely not a place an elderly person can go to.
