4/10 Fair

Ants on the bathroom floor, bathroom sink leaks onto the floor, shower door difficult to close resulting in leakage. On the plus side the beds and pillows were very comfortable, shuttle service was as advertised.

Service was very good, except the heater wasn't working in the room and it was freezing that night. Lucky there were extra blankets.

This is a perfect place to stay if you just need one night: shuttle to and from the airport, dinner on the property, free breakfast (you can get "breakfast pack to go" if leaving early), very nice comfortable room. The only issue is that you are not recommended going outside the property (walking, running) because the area is not quite safe. Taking Uber is the solution if you want to explore other places.

I said the night for a layover. The rating on the door is rated 3 star out of 5 from South Africas rating on hotels. It's a quick place to recuperate and gather your thoughts. The British breakfast is mid and as an American beans dont belong on a plate but for a quick meal and morning energy it was worth eating. I think my review is simple for a one night stay

It was okay but just I would say. Styre one night since it was cheap and close to the airport. You get what you pay for. Wouldn’t stay during the hot period (no ac). The staff was really nice though.
