Maravilhoso
Pros:

Da atenção dispensada a mim pelas recepcionistas, bem como no restaurante. Localizado em frente ao terminal da Intercape,é só atravessar a avenida. Os quartos são bem limpos e o café da manhã é sensacional.

Cons:

Nada.

Wer einen angenehmen Aufenthaltsort in Upington sucht, ist hier richtig.
Pros:

Das Hotel bietet ein sehr reichhaltiges und gutes Frühstück. Wenn man man ein Zimmer mit Flussblick gemietet hat, kann man die traumhafte Aussicht auf den Oranje River genießen. Ansonsten sind die Zimmer sehr zweckmäßig und gut ausgestattet. Neben dem Restaurant im Hotel, sind auch noch ein Hennie's und ein Red Ox Steakhouse in 5 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Für abendlich Ausflüge bietet sich eine Schiffsfahrt mit Sakki se Arkie, die einem traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge präsentiert und dabei leckere Getränke zum Verzehr anbietet.

Cons:

Der Pool ist etwas sehr schmal und es sind auch keine Liegen vorhanden. Die Zimmer könnten mal eine Renovierung gebrauchen.
