    The main gate doesn't get locked so that was a bit of a problem for me especially because the door of the room I had booked sometimes didn't wanna lock. The staff goes into our room when we're not around (to do what? I have no idea). One time I had stepped out for a bit, then when I went back to my room, the staff had taken my iron (for what? I don't know because it was mine), so that kinda made me feel like my valuables aren't really safe at that place. The shower didn't have hot water. The bed wasn't comfortable at all. My door didn't lock sometimes. There were ants and cockroaches.

    The place smelled good. The area is nice and quiet. The staff was always available to help. There was security at the place so that eased my stay a bit. There were no noisy neighbors whatsoever.

    The toilet seat cover thing was none existent,it was hard to shut the toilet door (had to lift&pull/slide) and I could smell whatever products used to clean the toilet. There were roaches in the room. The place has a lot of potential to be high end,if work can be put into renovating the property.

    I liked that the bed was really comfortable and they were flexible with the check-in time. The staff were very friendly as well,we only stayed for a night. It served it's purpose.

    They did not provide free wifi, the microwave was faulty, non functional aircon and cockroaches. The place can greatly attractive but the owners need to do more to attract value for money 💰

    Rooms were not cleaned daily and there was a lot of cockroaches and spider webs, the toilet was smelling of urine, I actually had to clean it myself and got rid of all the insects daily, and there was a lot of rats around.

    The noise of other guests early morning and late night was not very nice.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. There is a lot of potential in Pixi Lodge. If the owner can read and fix the minor suggestions of previous visitors, the place can be really good, it is central, it is neat and clean. Our stay was very comfortable.

    There was no coffee or tea making facilities available as mentioned as well as no free soaps etc as mentioned. The TV was not working and the curtains on the curtain rail were hanging loose. I feel that they could with a little more effort make the place look better and provide a few more conveniences.

    The bed was very comfortable and although the bed linen was old it was clean. The shower worked very well and the water became hot very quickly.
