    Cleaners need to stop cleaning the foyer steps during busy time because they are rude if people step while its wet or they must mop small space and dry it. Restaurant must try and alternate the hot foods for breakfast chicken livers,baked beans and pepper combo must be alternated because they taste as if they are reheated.

    The tv only plays YouTube no other channels…. No power back up system…. The breakfast needs to improve especial the hot foods everyday chicken livers, backed beans and peppers with onions. The muesli with yoghurt is terrible because the yoghurt becomes runny rather let it be served separately. Ricoffy needs to be changed….. nobody enjoys ricoffy its terrible. Jacobs sticks would cost more or less. On the last day the chicken livers were burnt but still served.

    The receptionist were all friendly…

    The apartment wasn’t cleaned properly. Found that only where you can see was cleaned off. The couch was not comfortable at all. The fact that you have to get a ticket for breakfast, that you’re limited too as well was just not it. Breakfast served was too limited especially for them calling it a buffet. The bath/shower situation is one that I’ll never get used to because of slip and fall incidents.

    The staff was absolutely amazing.

    my ac didn't work, but i didn't bother to ask the staff about it so idk nothing backed up rooms during the load sheddings and the floor felt a little more dirty then it should be

    breakfast was really good, and i happened to book it at night because the place stayed nearby was just unbelievably disgusting beds were also really nice, and it felt pretty safe inside in general its an ok place ro stay, nothing spectacular (maybe the breakfast) but not too bad either i stayed in the cheapest room available (it was pretty big) the staff also gave me an adapter for my chargers and helped with paper priting it was comparatively quiet

    The breakfast isnt the best, they could do better. they need to work on their breakfast. The property only has a generator for common areas during loadshedding which is a bad experience for guests who do not want to linger around the common area.

    The neighborhood is great. The rooms are clean, staff is kind. walking distance to the mall and nearby restaurants

    The hotel has not invested in a generator and the area has frequent load shedding. Load shedding does not seem to be ending soon, so having a generator would be a massive value add to the place.

    I didn't like the part where they wanted to take a picture of my bank card . I didn't like lifting my languages up the stairs. The iron also. Its a struggle to get.and once you get it you're pressurized to finish cause someone else wants it too.

    I like the fact that it is located in a very safe area. Quite peaceful and most of all very close to the mall.

    Look, you get what you pay for. Nothing was “bad” per se but the place could definitely benefit from a deep clean - for example some marks on the walls and the blinds are quite grimy and the tiles look like they could use a bit of a scrub. But it was a good stay overall.

    Staff was really helpful and friendly, even went extra mile to help me find an adaptor in the early hours of the morning. Location good, room very spacious.
