    Basics like shower cap & soaps were missing from the room. Instead empty boxes were placed there. Not sure what that was about

    I didn't have breakfast but hoped to have instant coffee. No satchets were available

    Nothing was there to be disliked.

    The staff was warmly friendly, very welcoming especially Sizwe. OMG, that guy was just home from the get go. He took care of us from the time we walked through the door. The room was beautiful, clean and spacious including the bathroom, it was home away from home. The food was exceptional, compliments to the chef, their breakfast and lunch and dinner.😘😘😊😊😊😘😊Delicious. Definitely coming back. The location don't get me started, it is life and money saving. Their rooftop pool to die for,it was perfectly setup up just for me

    The airconditioning system needs attention. It’s a very old building and this is expected. Perhaps it requires more than just a painting.

    Hotel is clean. Food is well prepared. The staff is very accommodating and always pleasant.

    The breakfast could be better,the fruit salad was not up to standard, the fruit was raw,hard and not yummy and lacking in variety . For a Sun International standard... it's just a 👎

    The dinner was excellent, all the meals my family had was very delicious 😋. The food was well prepared and tasty!

    The window in the room wasn't completely shut, possibly needed repairing so there was a little noise. The tea/coffee serving in the morning was a little slow. The bar closing at 10pm was a bit too early and disappointing but these were just minor issues.

    The room was very spacious and there was a very good selection for the included breakfast. The reception staff were very helpful.

    My last two nights were horrible. We couldn't sleep because of the noise coming out of one the rooms(111). Twice we reported to the security but they failed stop the noise and people in that room were disrepectful and rude.

    The Hotel is in a good location and the Hotel Staff was very good.
