Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although I hadn't paid in advance. They were spacious and had everything I needed, including a fridge. The service was friendly and efficient, but reception tended to be slow in addressing issues. The location was convenient, near walkable ministry offices. The dining options were tasty, although the quality seemed to have slightly declined over the years. The facilities were adequate for my needs.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, perfect for South Africans with three-point plugs, a nice fitness center, and delicious food, but the actual rooms may differ from what is initially advertised.
