Staff opened my door without consent while in bath
It is a very nice hotel, however there was a major incident bringing my review down. There is frequent knocks on the door (not unique to this hotel - I experienced this also elsewhere in Southern African hotels), but this time, as I ignored the knocking while in the bath - they opened my door. I had the other bolt lock on, thankfully, but this was truly mortifying.

Great Hotel and Location
A beautiful hotel that is so colorful and artsy—we loved it! The only negative is the bathroom. It just had a curtain to pull for privacy for the tub and sinks, which was strange and inconvenient when your spouse gets up in the middle of the night and doesn’t want to wake you. The bathroom also had a one foot gap in the wall, allowing any one who was standing at the door to the hallway to look in. Why do so many hotel bathrooms not have complete privacy with normal doors from the bedroom? Other than the bathroom issue the hotel is fabulous, the staff friendly and helpful, and the location safe and so fun with restaurants and shops just steps from the hotel.
