Dorothy
We loved the hotel's close proximity to transportation, making it easy for us to explore the city. The cleanliness of the showers and bathrooms was appreciated, and we had access to useful facilities like a kitchen and lounge area. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we were able to book a shuttle to the airport through them.
Nothings.

We loved our stay at this hotel! The location was perfect for us - a little out of town but right next to a train station, so it only took us 10 minutes to get into the centre of town. The quiet atmosphere and pretty gardens made for a peaceful and relaxing experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even offering a free drop-off at the airport. Our room was cosy and comfortable, with great facilities including a lovely double bed and one of the best showers we've ever had!
All was fantastic - couldn't ask for more.

This hotel is fantastic value for money. The prices were very reasonable and the attention to detail was impressive. The hotel is located in a very cool area, close to the beach and not far from the city center. The staff provided excellent service, and the basic amenities were well-maintained. The rooms were spacious and clean, with great facilities. Additionally, the breakfast at the Millstone coffee was delicious.
All in all, everything was just fine.

Had a great time during my Xmas break! The hotel was conveniently located near major attractions and public transport. The staff provided excellent customer service and were always willing to assist with any queries. The kitchen was clean and well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals.
The hotel lacked proper soundproofing, which made it difficult to sleep at night due to noise from neighbouring rooms and outside. The shared bathrooms were not always kept clean, and the hot water supply was not consistent.

Good budget option for business trips, with clean rooms and basic facilities. The location is convenient for travelers with key transport links nearby. I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, who were always on hand to offer advice and assistance.
Some rooms were in need of maintenance and repair work. The communal areas, including the kitchen and bathrooms, could have been cleaner and better organized.

We stayed in a hostel that was well-located, close to the highway and the bustling city. The hospital was also nearby, which made us feel safe. Although it wasn't right by the beach, it was just a short drive away. The hostel had a communal kitchen, comfortable lounge, and outside spaces to relax which was great. The murals were a nice touch as well.
The staff wasn't available after a certain time, which made us feel uneasy about security.
Tourists from South Africa often stay at these properties. Ideas for your future trips.
