Centrally located and close to Norwood/Rosebank with pleasant garden views, though a few guests noted the area can feel a little shady.

Mixed reports: some comfortable and spacious rooms, but frequent complaints about cold rooms, noisy AC, squeaking beds, broken/no hot water and odd smells.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The aicon is there for aesthetics, no extra blanket now during winter, there were no towels in the room. They just threw us in a room as if they did not know there were guests coming.

Just alright.
Pros:

The bed is comfortable and wifi is available.

Cons:

NO MICROWAVE is a big inconvenience and Not enough drinking water bottles since tap water is not possible due to borehole. If those are sorted then all is tops!

Great stay, but could’ve been better with more options for entertainment.
Pros:

The bathroom is amazing and the room is cozy.

Cons:

TV options were basically non-existent. I was hoping to keep up with the World Cup during my stay but all they really have available is YouTube.

Would not recommend it, rooms were not setup and appliances including tv not working
Pros:

Rooms were decent size, and bed was big

Cons:

Our rooms were situated at the reception, so there was constant traffic coming through. The receptionist had someone there, and they were constantly talking throughout the night.
