We were very impressed with the property and especially the staff. We included breakfast with our stay that was superb and very well priced. The area is not great but been fenced off it didn't bother us at all. The security staff were very friendly and helpful.

First time stay in South Africa made comfortable!

The staff was courteous, the rooms were spacious, clean and modern with a good number of electrical points. The AC systems were very effective, but a little noisy. The hotel offers basic and premium internet packages with the basic being included in the cost of the stay but was more than sufficient for streaming and video calling.

I would highly recommend against staying at this hotel. I was double charged for the room upon check in and had to provide credit card details three times to process my refund. One of those times someone from reception came to the room to ask for my card information and wrote it down. I will be keeping an eye out for suspicious charges. We paid extra for late checkout and the cleaning staff tried entering our room four times as we slept. We finally had to prop our suitcase under the door handle. The rooms were dated and did not feel clean. Room service took almost an hour and our food was ice cold upon arrival. We finally broke down and ordered McDonalds from Uber Eats to the hotel which was a significant improvement… which is not saying much. There was screaming outside our room at 2:00 am and barely slept all night. Staff were not very friendly. Overall, we did not feel safe and would never stay there again
