Rather dissapointing
Pros:

Close to my venue

Cons:

Water was brown in the bath…

Pipe of the hand shower in bath was broken and when I wanted to bath the water just gushed out from the hand showers pipe as it was torn.

Tiles were cracked next to the bath and bathroom floor….. very tacky!!

Mould on the ceilings in the bathroom and yellowish…
No dustbin to throw away coffee or tea bags…

Very disappointing to say the least

Déception
Pros:

La vue était plutôt jolie

Cons:

Établissement vieillissant avec besoin de rénovation murs craquelés, joints noircis dans les salles de bain , poussière sur les poutres , accueil très moyen, nous étions les seuls clients som à arrivés à 13:15 et on nous a demandé d’attendre l’heure officielle du Check in soir 14:00 pour avoir la chambre.. pas très commercial. Restaurant très moyen par rapport à ce qui se fait dans la région . La pire expérience pour nous en Afrique du Sud.
