    Nothing - it was all good.

    What a lovely hotel - our room was beautiful with a huge comfy bed and an amazing shower in the middle of the room. Nice to have a table and chairs outside too. The staff were fantastic - super helpful and really went above and beyond to help us (especially Charity). The taxi driver was brilliant that they recommended too. The food is the restaurant is great - really beautifully presented and tasty. Nice wine selection too. Breakfasts are cooked for you which is a nice change from a buffet. In a clean, safe area. Will definitely return.

    As you can probably tell my my review above there was absolutely nothing we disliked at this beautiful boutique hotel, it is outstanding.

    Everything was beyond our expectations. The staff:- From the moment we arrived all the staff, from the receptionist, to the garden and maintenance crew, servers in the intimate well appointed restaurant (with an incredible wine cellar), were incredible, knowledgeable, helpful, polite, and perfectly attired. The grounds:- Are immaculate and well manicured providing plenty of spacious parking for our large 4X4. The beautiful sparkling pool with plenty of Sun loungers. Our room:- The furnishings (curtaining, blinds, floor rug, furniture, side tables) linen, gowns, towels, lighting, climate control, sound system, TV, crockery, etc etc. The thoughtful toiletries provided. The mini bar fridge stocked with lots of wonderful offerings, Nespresso coffee machine and frother PLUS the chocolates, chips, popcorn and other tasty treats. Need I say more? Absolutely fabulous and we will definitely be staying at The Giglio again and again!! The restaurant:- Unfortunately due to other commitments we only managed breakfast, which was also outstanding! My eggs Benedict were delicious with perfectly soft poached eggs and smoked salmon, as was my husbands omelette. Beautiful tasteful crockery, cutlery and table linen. Honestly I could go on and on about the thought and fine detail that has gone into this amazing establishment - FIVE STARS + 🤩

    The perfect safe oasis before ending our trip around South Africa. This beautiful hotel is 15 minutes from the airport. The amenities and service are high quality. The staff is so kind and the food is DELICIOUS! We had dinner the night we arrived (the peri peri chicken and balsamic chicken) - it was a meal you think about after eating. The complimentary breakfast is also delicious. I recommend the eggs Benedict. Everything was 10/10 and the perfect hotel close to the airport.

    There was no kettle in the room for us to make late night and early morning tea 😔

    This hotel is a gem in the city with extremely comfortable bed and beautiful quality and stunning furnishings. Breakfast is also beautifully prepared and so scrumptious. We enjoyed our overnight stay and we will definitely be back for a weekend break! We are a fussy couple and we totally loved and enjoyed our stay.
